Intended Use
Automatic Disposable Biopsy Needle is intended for use in obtaining biopsies from soft tissues such as liver, kidney, prostate, spleen, lung, thyroid and lymph nodes. It is not intended for use in bone. Semi-Automatic Disposable Biopsy Needle is intended for use in obtaining biopsies from soft tissues such as liver, kidney, prostate, spleen, lung, thyroid and lymph nodes. It is not intended for use in bone. Coaxial Biopsy Needle is intended for use as a guiding needle in obtaining core biopsy samples from soft tissues such as liver, kidney, prostate, spleen, lung, thyroid and lymph nodes. It is not intended for use in bone.
Device Description
Automatic Disposable Biopsy Needle, Semi-automatic Disposable Biopsy Needle and Coaxial Biopsy Needle are hand-operated, non-electronic, surgical instruments. Automatic Disposable Biopsy Needle is designed for the automatic extraction of a specimen from soft tissues, while causing minimal surrounding tissue damage, for tissue pathological examination/ testing. Automatic Disposable Biopsy Needle is first loaded and then inserted into the edge of the target tissue. Then, the inner needle rod is threaded into the target lesion (automatic firing), then, the outer needle tube is fired to push forward, and the tissue sample is cut through the relative movement of the outer needle tube and the inner needle rod of the biopsy needle, later, the tissue sample is cut off and stored in the sampling groove. Finally, specimen was removed after withdrawing the biopsy needle. Semi-automatic Disposable Biopsy Needle is designed for the extraction of a specimen from soft tissues, while causing minimal surrounding tissue damage, for tissue pathological examination/testing. The semi-automated biopsy needle requires manual advancement of the inner needle to expose the specimen notch. With pressure on its plunger, a spring action rapidly advances the outer needle (cutting cannula) over the specimen notch of the inner needle. Coaxial Biopsy Needle is used with biopsy needles to quide the insertion of biopsy needle into the soft tissue under imaging control (ultrasound, X-ray, CT, etc.). It is supplied with trocar tip stylet with or without blunt tip needle. All of these devices are sterile with a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10-6, nonpyrogenic and single-use devices.

Not Found

No
The device description explicitly states that the devices are "hand-operated, non-electronic, surgical instruments" and there is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

No
The device is described as a biopsy needle, used for obtaining tissue samples for pathological examination/testing. This process is diagnostic, not therapeutic, as it does not treat a disease.

Yes

Explanation: The device is used to obtain biopsies from soft tissues, and biopsies are samples taken to diagnose diseases or conditions. The "Intended Use" explicitly states that the device is for "obtaining biopsies," and the "Device Description" states it is for "tissue pathological examination/testing," which is a diagnostic process.

No

The device description explicitly states that the devices are "hand-operated, non-electronic, surgical instruments" and describes their mechanical operation for obtaining tissue samples. There is no mention of software as a component or function of these devices.

Based on the provided information, these devices are not IVDs (In Vitro Diagnostics).

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment. The devices described here are used to obtain the specimens (tissue samples) from the body.
  • The intended use clearly states they are for "obtaining biopsies from soft tissues". This is a surgical procedure to collect a sample, not a test performed on a sample.
  • The device descriptions detail the mechanical process of collecting the tissue sample. They do not describe any analytical or diagnostic function performed on the sample itself.
  • There is no mention of analyzing or testing the collected tissue by the device. The tissue is collected for "tissue pathological examination/ testing," which would be performed separately in a laboratory using IVD devices.

These devices are surgical instruments used for tissue collection, which is a step prior to in vitro diagnostic testing.

Dear Huiqi Jiang:

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 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

a specimen from soft tissues, while causing minimal surrounding tissue damage, for tissue pathological examination/ testing. Automatic Disposable Biopsy Needle is first loaded and then inserted into the edge of the target tissue. Then, the inner needle rod is threaded into the target lesion (automatic firing), then, the outer needle tube is fired to push forward, and the tissue sample is cut through the relative movement of the outer needle tube and the inner needle rod of the biopsy needle, later, the tissue sample is cut off and stored in the sampling groove.

Semi-automatic Disposable Biopsy Needle is designed for the extraction of a specimen from soft tissues, while causing minimal surrounding tissue damage, for tissue pathological examination/testing. The semi-automated biopsy needle requires manual advancement of the inner needle to expose the specimen notch. With pressure on its plunger, a spring action rapidly advances the outer needle (cutting cannula) over the specimen notch of the inner needle.

Coaxial Biopsy Needle is used with biopsy needles to quide the insertion of biopsy needle into the soft tissue under imaging control (ultrasound, X-ray, CT, etc.). It is supplied with trocar tip stylet with or without blunt tip needle.

All of these devices are sterile with a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10-6, nonpyrogenic and single-use devices. The ultrasound, X-ray, CT and other equipments are used to guide the puncture and sampling. These devices can't be used under MRI.
