Device Description
The Triopsy Medical Actuator and Biopsy Needle is comprehensive system that aids in the diagnosis and treatment planning of prostate cancer. The system utilizes an actuator instrument and biopsy needle (disposable) with the intention of gathering prostate tissue and properly identifying its pathology. The needle collects full-length, unbroken apex-to-base core samples with patented ridges that hold and protect the sample's integrity. The actuator allows for variable sample lengths for each area of the prostate to be biopsied increasing accuracy and patient safety by avoiding under or overshooting.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on mechanical aspects of the biopsy system and does not mention any AI or ML components.

No
The device is used for obtaining biopsies, which is a diagnostic procedure, not a therapeutic one. It aids in diagnosis and treatment planning but does not provide therapy itself.

Yes

The device's intended use is to obtain biopsies, which are then used to gather prostate tissue and "properly identify its pathology" for "diagnosis and treatment planning of prostate cancer." Obtaining tissue for pathological identification is a diagnostic activity.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "comprehensive system that aids in the diagnosis and treatment planning of prostate cancer" and includes physical components: an "actuator instrument and biopsy needle (disposable)". The performance studies also focus on mechanical aspects like "Depth Projection", "Mechanical Durability", and "Penetration", indicating a hardware-based device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to obtain biopsies from the prostate. This is a procedure to collect tissue samples.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a system that aids in the diagnosis and treatment planning by gathering prostate tissue. It's a tool for sample collection.
  • Lack of In Vitro Testing: An IVD device is designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) to collect the specimen.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the mechanical aspects of the device (depth projection, durability, penetration, etc.) and human factors, not on the analysis of biological samples.

This device is a biopsy device, which is used to collect tissue samples for subsequent in vitro diagnostic testing (like pathology analysis of the collected tissue). The diagnostic testing itself would be performed using IVD devices and procedures, but the biopsy system itself is not an IVD.
