The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical function and tissue sampling capabilities of a biopsy needle. There is no mention of image processing, AI, ML, or any data-driven decision-making component. The testing described is purely mechanical and tissue-based.
No.
A therapeutic device is used for treating or curing a disease or condition, while this device is designed for obtaining tissue samples for diagnostic purposes (biopsy).
No
Explanation: A diagnostic device is used to identify a disease or condition. This device is used to obtain tissue samples, which are then analyzed to determine a diagnosis, but the device itself does not perform the diagnostic function. It is a biopsy tool, not a diagnostic device.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components (handle, spring, cannula, stylet, trigger, spring guide) and performance studies focus on the mechanical function and tissue interaction of these components. There is no mention of software as a component or its function.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease. The key is that the diagnostic process happens outside the body, using the collected specimen.
- This Device's Function: This device is a biopsy needle. Its primary function is to collect a tissue sample from the body. While the collected sample will likely be used for subsequent in vitro diagnostic testing (like histology or pathology), the needle itself is a tool for sample acquisition, not for performing the diagnostic test on the sample.
The description clearly states the device is used to "obtain multiple core biopsy samples from soft tissue." This is a procedure performed on the patient to get a sample, not a test performed on a sample already taken from the patient.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Non-Clinical Tests were performed to evaluate the performance of the subject device and support substantial equivalence with the predicate device.
- Penetration of the needle: A biopsy needle is inserted in three different tissues (i.e., muscle, liver, kidney) according to the IFU. Visually tested to ensure the stylet tip could easily and effortlessly penetrate the tissue without causing tears or lacerations. For all tested biopsy devices the insertion was appropriate and conducted effortlessly with no difficulties at all. The acceptance criteria were met.
- Shot of the needle: The release mechanism of the biopsy device was triggered in air as well as in the animal tissue. The test showed that the device spring has sufficient power for the cannula to cover the tip of the stylet that contains the notch completely. The tests were conducted for the 10 mm and 18 mm notch.
- Quantity of the sample taken: Different tissue samples were taken with biopsy devices for the 10 mm and 18 mm notch. The length of the collected samples was measured with a ruler. The results showed that the device met the acceptance criteria (e.g., >= 5 mm for the 10 mm notch and >= 9 mm for the 18 mm notch) and the dimensions of the samples were comparable to the dimensions of the sample acquired using the predicate.
- Quality/integrity of the sample taken: The taken tissue samples in test 3 are observed under video microscope. The samples were carefully observed to see if they are cylindrical, intact and abundant. This was done for both 10 mm and 18 mm notch samples. All samples were cylindrical, intact and abundant. The acceptance criteria were met. The samples collected using the subject device were comparable to the samples acquired using the predicate.
- MRI Safety Evaluation: Performed to develop conditions of safe use.

- MRI Safety Evaluation
For the present report different Semiautomatic Biopsy Needles - BIM and Automatic Biopsy Needles - BAM has been used. 18G and 16G biopsy needles were used. Two lengths were used: 150 mm and 200 mm. The testing was conducted after the validated EO sterilization of all devices. Therefore the tests were conducted on final finished devices.
Description of the tests and Results
-
For the stylet perforation capacity, a biopsy needle is inserted in three different tissues (i.e., muscle, liver, kidney) according to the IFU. It is then visually tested to ensure that the stylet tip could easily and effortlessly penetrate the tissue without causing tears or lacerations to create a good entry path for the cannula. The needle is inserted in different tissues to assess the penetration capacity of the stylet tip. For all tested biopsy devices the insertion was appropriate and conducted effortlessly with no difficulties at all. The acceptance criteria were met. This demonstrates that the device works as intended.
-
To test the shot of the needle the release mechanism of the biopsy device was triggered in air as well as in the animal tissue. The test showed that the device spring has sufficient power for the cannula to cover the tip of the stylet that contains the notch completely. The tests were conducted for the 10 mm and 18 mm notch.
-
Different tissue samples were taken with biopsy devices for the 10 mm and 18 mm notch. After that the length of the collected samples was measured with a ruler. The length was written down and the results were analyzed. The results showed that the device met the acceptance criteria (e.g., ≥ 5 mm for the 10 mm notch and ≥ 9 mm for the 18 mm notch) and the dimensions of the samples were comparable to the dimensions of the sample acquired using the predicate.
-
The taken tissue samples in test 3 are observed under video microscope. The samples were carefully observed to see if they are cylindrical, intact and abundant. This was done for both 10 mm and 18 mm notch samples. All samples were cylindrical, intact and abundant. The acceptance criteria were met. The samples collected using the subject device were comparable to the samples acquired using the predicate.
-
MRI safety evaluation was performed to develop conditions of safe use.
- Clinical Tests Not needed.
- Conclusion Based on the comparison and analysis above, the proposed subject device is determined to be Substantially Equivalent (SE) to the predicate device.
