No
The device description and performance studies focus solely on the physical characteristics and mechanical performance of a needle set, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing.
No
The device is described for diagnostic sampling, aspiration, and injection, rather than for treating a disease or condition.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "intended for discography, diagnostic sampling, aspiration, and injection," with "diagnostic sampling" being directly related to a diagnostic purpose.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components (needles, stylets, hubs, cannulas) made of materials like nitinol, polycarbonate, stainless steel, and acrylic. The performance studies focus on physical properties and biocompatibility, not software validation.
Based on the provided information, the Pakter Curved Needle Set is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for procedures performed on the patient (discography, diagnostic sampling, aspiration, and injection). IVDs are used to examine specimens from the body (like blood, urine, tissue) to diagnose or monitor conditions.
- Device Description: The device is a needle set designed for percutaneous insertion into the body. This is consistent with a surgical or interventional device, not an IVD.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of reagents, assays, or any components typically associated with in vitro testing of biological samples.
Therefore, the Pakter Curved Needle Set is a medical device used for procedures performed directly on a patient, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Device Description
The Pakter Curved Needle Set is manufactured as a coaxial needle set and includes a preshaped curved needle and an introducer needle. The curved needle consists of a nitinol cannula connected to a polycarbonate hub at the proximal end and is characterized with a distal curve and a 30° bevel distal tip. It also includes a stainless steel stylet that is designed for a transitional fit. The curved needle with stylet is 25 gage in diameter and has a length of 20 or 15 centimeters. The introducer needle consists of a stainless steel cannula connected to an acrylic hub at the proximal end. The introducer needle is also designed with a stainless steel stylet. The introducer needle with stylet is 21 gage in diameter and has a length of 15 or 10 centimeters. When used as intended, the introducer needle and stylet are first inserted percutaneously and advanced adjacent to the target anatomy. After removing the introducer needle stylet, the curved needle is then inserted through the introducer needle cannula and slowly advanced to the target anatomy. The Pakter Curved Needle Set is sterilized by ethylene oxide and intended for one-time use.

Device Description:
The Pakter Curved Needle Set is manufactured as a coaxial needle set and includes a preshaped curved needle and an introducer needle. The curved needle consists of a nitinol cannula connected to a polycarbonate hub at the proximal end and is characterized with a distal curve and a 30° bevel distal tip. It also includes a stainless steel stylet that is designed for a transitional fit. The curved needle with stylet is 25 gage in diameter and has a length of 20 or 15 centimeters. The introducer needle consists of a stainless steel cannula connected to an acrylic hub at the proximal end. The introducer needle is also designed with a stainless steel stylet. The introducer needle with stylet is 21 gage in diameter and has a length of 15 or 10 centimeters. When used as intended, the introducer needle and stylet are first inserted percutaneously and advanced adjacent to the target anatomy. After removing the introducer needle stylet, the curved needle is then inserted through the introducer needle cannula and slowly advanced to the target anatomy. The Pakter Curved Needle Set is sterilized by ethylene oxide and intended for one-time use.
Indications for Use:
The Pakter Curved Needle Set is intended for discography, diagnostic sampling, aspiration, and injection.
Comparison to Predicate Device:
The Pakter Curved Needle Set and the predicate device, Atraumatic Standard Sprotte® Needle (K911260), are considered substantially equivalent in that these devices are identical in principles of operation and fundamental technologies. Additionally, the subject device has similar indications for use, coaxial design, materials, and dimensions as the predicate device.
The differences in technological characteristics between the subject device and the predicate device include the following:
- . Materials - The subject device needle cannula is made of Nitinol, while the predicate device's cannula is made of stainless steel. The subject device's introducer needle cannula hub is acrylic, while the predicate device's hub is made of polycarbonate.
- . Dimensions - The subject device's needle cannula and introducer needle cannula are longer in length than those of the predicate device: the subject device's needle cannula gage size is smaller than that of the predicate device; the needle cannula tip of the subject device is curved with a 30-degree bevel, while that of the predicate
5
device is straight with a pencil point bevel; and the introducer needle cannula gage size of the subject device is smaller than that of the predicate device.
- . Additionally, the subject device set includes a needle cannula stylet, while the predicate device set does not.
These differences in technological characteristics between the subject and predicate devices do not raise any different questions of safety and/or effectiveness.

Indications for Use: The indications for use of the subject device is similar to that of the predicate device. Both the subject device and predicate device are indicated for discography. Although the wording is different, the subject device indications for

"diagnostic sampling, aspiration, and injection" are synonymous with the predicate device indications for "injection/withdrawal of fluids." The only difference between the subject device and predicate device intended use statements is that the subject device is not indicated for myelography and chemonucleolysis. The wording differences and exclusion of myelography and chemonucleolysis in the indications for use statement of the subject device do not raise different questions of safety and/or effectiveness.
