The summary describes a mechanical biopsy needle and its use with a navigation system, but there is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.
No
The device is used for retrieving specimens (diagnostic purposes), not for treating a disease or condition.
No
The device is used to retrieve tissue specimens for later diagnosis, but it does not perform the diagnostic analysis itself. It is a biopsy tool, which is a sampling device, not a diagnostic device.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical medical device consisting of a needle, stylet, shafts, handle, and plunger, intended for retrieving tissue specimens. It is not solely software.
Based on the provided information, the Arcpoint™ pulmonary needle is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD devices are used to examine specimens obtained from the human body in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The Arcpoint™ pulmonary needle is a tool used in vivo (inside the body) to obtain the specimen.
- The intended use clearly states it is for "retrieving specimens from patients". It is the instrument for collection, not the instrument for analyzing the collected specimen.
- The device description focuses on the mechanical aspects of the needle for tissue retrieval and aspiration. It does not describe any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples.
The specimens collected by this device would likely be sent to a laboratory for in vitro diagnostic testing, but the needle itself is a surgical/biopsy instrument, not an IVD.

Device Description
The Arcpoint™ pulmonary needle is an endobronchial biopsy needle that consists of a pulmonary needle and a stylet. The pulmonary needle is intended to retrieve tissue specimens from lungs during an endobronchial lung biopsy procedure. The product is used either through a flexible endoscope or in conjunction with the superDimension™ navigation system's extended working channel.
The pulmonary needle is comprised of an outer polymeric shaft with stainless steel braid reinforcement and an inner polymeric shaft with a stainless steel needle attached. The needle and device shaft are visible under fluoroscopy. The proximal end consists of handle connected to the outer shaft and a needle plunger with luer-lock fitting connected to the inner shaft. The pulmonary needle features a positive stop retraction/extension design which is controlled by sliding of the inner shaft via the needle plunger. When retracted, the needle stays within the outer shaft. The needle protrudes 8.0 mm from the outer shaft when fully extended. This design provides protection during passage in a working channel and allows accurate and quick release when the needle is at the targeted site. The luer-lock fitting allows connection to a standard luer-lock syringe for applying suction to the inner shaft to aspirate cell specimens.
A stylet comes pre-inserted in the pulmonary needle which provides additional rigidity to the needle shaft and may help prevent unwanted tissue capture during passage to the targeted site. Use of the stylet is optional at physicians' discretion. The product is packaged in a Tyvek pouch and is sterilized with ethylene oxide. The product package contains the pulmonary needle and stylet.

4. Device Description
The Arcpoint™ pulmonary needle is an endobronchial biopsy needle that consists of a pulmonary needle and a stylet. The pulmonary needle is intended to retrieve tissue specimens from lungs during an endobronchial lung biopsy procedure. The product is used either through a flexible endoscope or in conjunction with the superDimension™ navigation system's extended working channel.
The pulmonary needle is comprised of an outer polymeric shaft with stainless steel braid reinforcement and an inner polymeric shaft with a stainless steel needle attached. The needle and device shaft are visible under fluoroscopy. The proximal end consists of handle connected to the outer shaft and a needle plunger with luer-lock fitting connected to the inner shaft.

ട്. Indications for Use
The Arcpoint™ pulmonary needle is utilized through a flexible endoscope or with the superDimension™ navigation system by physicians who are trained in endoscopic techniques for retrieving specimens from patients with endobronchial lesions, peripheral lung nodules, or lung masses.
6. Summary of Characteristics Compared to Predicate Devices
The Arcpoint pulmonary needle is substantially equivalent to the Wang Transbronchial Aspriation Needle cleared under K914181 and the GenCut core biopsy tool cleared under K142839. The Arcpoint pulmonary needle has the same technological characteristics as the predicates, that is, they are operate in the same manner to obtain a tissue biopsy in patient's lungs through a flexible endoscope or other working channel. Once they reach the target biopsy site, suction is applied through a syringe and a sample is taken from the desired site. Once the sample is obtained, the devices are withdrawn from the body and a sample can be expelled from the device.
Overall, the subject and primary predicate devices are all based on the following same technological elements:
6
- Device is introduced endoscopically and used to reach the target site, ●
- Device is inserted through a flexible endoscope or other working channel, ●
- Device features a sharpened, beveled, stainless steel needle, and is available in . similar needle gauges,
- . Device features a positive stop retraction/extension design which is controlled by sliding of the inner shaft via a plunger
- Use of a distal needle to collect tissues and a proximal hub to connect a luer-. lock syringe in order to aspirate samples into the shaft,
- Device is intended for short-term introduction and transient use through a . naturally occurring orifice.
The following primary technological differences exist between the subject and predicate devices:
- The pulmonary needle has shorter needle protrusion (8 mm) than the primary . predicate device Wang Transbronchial Aspriation Needle (15 mm). The amount of needle protrusion does not impact needle performance because the tip geometry for the two products is essentially the same and it is the needle bevel that is critical for tissue collection.
- . The pulmonary needle has a stylet that provides additional rigidity to the needle shaft during passage to the target site. The use of the style is optional.
- The pulmonary needle features a similar polymeric shaft with steel braid ● reinforcement as the secondary predicate device GenCut core biopsy tool. The primary predicate device features a PTFE sheath over a stainless steel shaft.
See table below for a detailed summary of the characteristics compared to the predicate devices.

The bench and in-vivo animal study conducted demonstrate that the minor technological differences do not raise any different questions of safety and effectiveness and the subject device is as safe and as effective as the predicate devices. In conclusion, the Arcpoint pulmary needle is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
