More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical biopsy instrument and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

No
The device is a biopsy instrument used for obtaining tissue samples for diagnostic purposes, not for therapy.

No

Explanation: The device is a biopsy instrument and needle designed to obtain tissue samples for histological analysis, which is a method of acquiring samples. It does not perform analysis or diagnosis itself.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "biopsy instrument" and "biopsy Needle," indicating a physical, hardware-based medical device. There is no mention of software as the primary component or function.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The intended use is to obtain histological core samples from organs like the prostate, kidney, and liver. This is a procedure performed on the patient's body to collect tissue, not a test performed on a sample of the patient's body outside of the body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a biopsy instrument/needle used for taking tissue specimens. This aligns with a surgical or procedural device, not a diagnostic test kit or instrument that analyzes samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue after collection and processing), reagents, or any other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostic tests.

In summary, this device is a tool for collecting tissue samples from the body, which is a procedural or surgical function, not an in vitro diagnostic function.

§ 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.
