More Information

Not Found

None

No
The device description and intended use describe a mechanical biopsy needle, and there is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven performance metrics.

No
The device is described as a biopsy needle for diagnostic evaluation, not for treating a condition.

Yes

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is used "for diagnostic evaluation." The device itself (a biopsy needle) is used to obtain samples, which are then analyzed to provide a diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is comprised of a cannula and stylet assembly connected to a handle, which are physical hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to introduce a cannula into soft tissue for diagnostic evaluation. This means the device is used to obtain a sample from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical needle used for tissue collection.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is typically used to examine specimens outside of the body (in vitro) to provide information for diagnosis. This device is used inside the body to collect the specimen.

The diagnostic evaluation mentioned in the intended use would likely be performed on the tissue sample obtained by this needle, using separate IVD devices or laboratory procedures. The needle itself is a tool for obtaining the sample, not for performing the diagnostic test itself.

Summary of Performance Studies

All materials used in the fabrication of this 18 gauge Tru-Cut Biopsy Needle were evaluated through biological qualification safety tests as outlined in in ISO 10993 Part-1 "Biological Evaluation of of Medical Devices". biocompatibility tests performed were USP Plastics Class VI, Implant, Hemolysis, Tissue Culture, Pyrogenicity, Ocular Irritation, and Guinea Pig Maximization as required. These materials have met the requirements of the guidance and were found to be acceptable for the intended use.

§ 876.1075 Gastroenterology-urology biopsy instrument.

(a)
Identification. A gastroenterology-urology biopsy instrument is a device used to remove, by cutting or aspiration, a specimen of tissue for microscopic examination. This generic type of device includes the biopsy punch, gastrointestinal mechanical biopsy instrument, suction biopsy instrument, gastro-urology biopsy needle and needle set, and nonelectric biopsy forceps. This section does not apply to biopsy instruments that have specialized uses in other medical specialty areas and that are covered by classification regulations in other parts of the device classification regulations.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (performance standards).(2) Class I for the biopsy forceps cover and the non-electric biopsy forceps. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.
