Intended Use
The NeoNavia biopsy system is intended for obtaining tissue samples from both breast lesions and axillary lymph nodes for diagnostic analysis of breast abnormalities. The FlexiPulse and VacuPulse probes are intended to provide tissue from breast lesions and axillary lymph nodes for histologic examination. The NeoNavia biopsy system is to be used only by healthcare professionals in hospitals or healthcare facilities.
Device Description
NeoNavia® biopsy system is designed to obtain tissue samples from breast lesions or axillary lymph nodes for histological evaluation. The system is composed of a base unit, a driver and two different types of sterile single use probes. Each probe type (also referred to as needle) utilizes pulses with the intention to improve precision and control when inserting and positioning the biopsy needle in a suspicious lesion. NeoNavia® must be operated together with ultrasound imaging guidance.
More Information

Not Found

No
The provided text does not mention AI, ML, deep learning, neural networks, or any related terms. The device description focuses on mechanical aspects (pulses, probes, driver) and guidance via ultrasound, without indicating any AI/ML-driven analysis or decision-making.

No
The device is used for obtaining tissue samples for diagnostic analysis, not for treating a condition or disease.

No

Explanation: The device is used for obtaining tissue samples for diagnostic analysis and histologic examination, but it does not perform the diagnostic analysis itself. It is a biopsy system, a tool used in the process of diagnosis, rather than a diagnostic device that interprets data to provide a diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states the system is composed of a base unit, a driver, and two types of sterile single-use probes, indicating it includes hardware components beyond just software.

Based on the provided information, the NeoNavia biopsy system is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The primary intended use is to obtain tissue samples for diagnostic analysis. The device itself is a tool for sample collection, not for performing the diagnostic analysis on the sample.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the mechanical aspects of obtaining tissue samples using pulses and ultrasound guidance. It doesn't describe any components or processes for analyzing biological samples in vitro.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices typically involve reagents, calibrators, controls, or software designed to analyze biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to provide diagnostic information. This device's function is limited to the physical act of acquiring the sample.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies described focus on the device's ability to obtain samples (sample quality, bleeding, hematoma), not on the accuracy or reliability of any diagnostic test performed on those samples.

The diagnostic analysis itself would be performed separately in a laboratory using other methods and potentially other IVD devices. The NeoNavia system is a crucial step in the diagnostic process, but it is a sample collection device, not an IVD.

  • Sterilization, Shelf Life and Packaging: sterilization validation, sterile packaging validation and shelf life testing have been performed for the sterile disposable probes.
  • Biocompatibility Testing: Biocompatibility testing results for cytotoxicity, irritation, sensitization, acute systemic toxicity and materials mediated pyrogenicity indicate the NeoNavia VacuPulse probe is safe for its indicated use.
  • Software and Security: The Level of Concern associated with the software of the NeoNavia Biopsy System is considered to be Moderate. Testing was completed in accordance with the guidance document, Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices (Final, 2005).
  • Electromagnetic Compatibility and Electrical Safety: Electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety testing was performed on the NeoNavia Biopsy System.
  • Bench Testing: Various bench testing was performed for verification of the NeoNavia Biopsy System. Testing included comparison performance testing, usability validation and performance verification testing.
  • Animal Testing: Animal testing was conducted to compare the NeoNavia VacuPulse, NeoNavia Flexipulse and Mammotome biopsy devices. Biopsy samples from sheep and pigs were evaluated for biopsy sample quality (gross qualitative assessment and via histopathology), acute bleeding rate, and hematoma.

Biocompatibility testing results for cytotoxicity, irritation, sensitization, acute systemic toxicity and materials mediated pyrogenicity indicate the NeoNavia VacuPulse probe is safe for its indicated use.

Software and Security

The Level of Concern associated with the software of the NeoNavia Biopsy System is considered to be Moderate. Testing was completed in accordance with the guidance document, Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices (Final, 2005).

Electromagnetic Compatibility and Electrical Safety

Electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety testing was performed on the NeoNavia Biopsy System.

Bench Testing

Various bench testing was performed for verification of the NeoNavia Biopsy System. Testing included comparison performance testing, usability validation and performance verification testing.

Animal Testing

Animal testing was conducted to compare the NeoNavia VacuPulse, NeoNavia Flexipulse and Mammotome biopsy devices. Biopsy samples from sheep and pigs were evaluated for biopsy sample quality (gross qualitative assessment and via histopathology), acute bleeding rate, and hematoma.

Conclusion

Based on the information provided the NeoNavia Biopsy System is substantially equivalent in terms of indications for use, technology and performance to the predicate devices.
