No
The device description details a purely mechanical, manually operated biopsy device with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing.
No.
The device is used to obtain tissue samples for diagnostic purposes (histological and biomolecular detection), not to treat a condition or restore function.
No
The device is a biopsy device, designed to collect tissue samples for subsequent analysis (histological and biomolecular detection). It does not perform the diagnostic analysis itself.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components made of stainless steel and polypropylene, and the operation is described as manual. There is no mention of software.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Spirotome Endo's Function: The Spirotome Endo is a device used to obtain a tissue sample from within the body. It is a biopsy device.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it is used "to take out adequate samples of tissue" for "histological and biomolecular detection and confirmation of imaged abnormalities." While the analysis of the tissue sample obtained by the Spirotome Endo might be done using IVD methods, the Spirotome Endo itself is the tool for acquiring the sample, not for performing the diagnostic test on the sample.
Therefore, the Spirotome Endo is a surgical/biopsy device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Spirotome Endo is a core biopsy device. It consists of a stainless steel receiving needle with a helical shape, stainless steel cutting cannula, and a polypropylene releasing element. The receiving needle is inserted though the cutting cannula prior to advancing to the biopsy site. The receiving needle is rotated clockwise into the tissue using the plastic hub on the proximal end. The cutting cannula is then rotated clockwise to separate the biopsy sample from the surrounding tissue. Following retraction from the biopsy site, the releasing element is used to remove the tissue sample from the receiving needle. The receiving needle is rotated counter-clockwise to release the tissue. The Spirotome Endo is operated manually.
The Spirotome Endo has four variants: one 8 gauge, and two 14 gauge needles. The receiving needle is 375 mm in length and the cutting cannula is 325 mm long. The helical needle is 18 mm long in all the variants except one 14 gauge variant, where it is 10 mm long. The device is provided sterile and is for single-use only.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Bench testing including functional testing, biocompatibility, sterilization and package testing was leveraged from testing conducted on the Spirotome SU (K060384) and Spirotome Cervicore (K080095). The subject device has identical packaging materials, materials of construction, manufacturing, and sterilization processes as the cleared devices.
Clinical use of the Spirotome Endo for gynecological tissues was reported in peer reviewed journals. The reports in clinical literature supported an acceptable safety profile for the subject device during biopsy procedures.

Dear Jaak Janssens:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products.

The Cervicore system is intended to
provide soft tissue for histological

abnormalities.
An early detection and correct
diagnosis is a prerequisite for a
successful multimodality treatment
of malignant disease. Therefore, an
adequate sampling of human tissue
is necessary to make a reliable
diagnosis of benignancy or
malignancy and to characterize as
complete as possible the nature of
the lesion without unnecessary
discomfort to the patient.
In case of malignancy, a proper
multimodality treatment is necessary
i.e. surgery and/or
chemotherapy and/or hormone
therapy and/or biological therapy. In
case of benignancy, adequate follow-
up of the patient can be provided. |

The Spirotome Endo and the predicate device (K080095) do not have identical Indications for Use statements. The indication for the subject device includes different biopsy tissue types and does not include statements referring to diagnosis or treatment. This change does not represent a new intended use as the intended use of this device is the same as the predicate – to provide soft tissue biopsy samples.
Non-Clinical Performance Testing
Bench Testing
Bench testing of the subject device, Spirotome Endo, including functional testing, biocompatibility, sterilization and package testing was leveraged from testing conducted on the Spirotome SU (K060384) and Spirotome Cervicore (K080095). The subject device has identical packaging materials, materials of construction, manufacturing, and sterilization processes as the cleared devices.
Literature
As part of demonstrating substantial equivalence to the predicate, literature was provided demonstrating safe and effective use of the subject device for internal female reproductive organs. Clinical use of the Spirotome Endo for gynecological tissues was reported in peer reviewed journals. The reports in clinical literature supported an acceptable safety profile for the subject device during biopsy procedures. The reports did not raise additional concerns regarding the safety and effectiveness of the subject device.
Conclusion
The results of the information and testing described above demonstrate that the Spirotome Endo is as safe and effective as the predicate device and supports a determination of substantial equivalence.
