Device Description
The MRJ Needle is intended for use for the same indications as the predicate devices listed above. These indications include initial puncture, aspiration and injection, biopsies, diagnostic sampling and other interventional procedures. The materials used in this device are widely used in medical device manufacturing and their biocompatibility has been verified. In addition, design validation studies have been performed to assure the device can be expected to perform its intended function when used according to the recommendations in the product's labeling which will be provided with the device. The device will be made in 25 to 16 gage diameters, in lengths from 2.5 cm to 20 cm. It will be supplied sterile.

No
The description focuses on the physical characteristics and intended use of a needle for MRI procedures, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

No.
The device description indicates that the MRI needles are used for procedures like puncture, aspiration, injection, biopsies, and diagnostic sampling, but there is no mention of treating a disease or condition therapeutically.

Yes
The device is used for "diagnostic sampling," which is a component of the diagnostic process.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical needle made of materials used in medical device manufacturing, with specified dimensions and sterility. It is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states the MRI needles are used for procedures within the body, such as initial puncture, aspiration, injection, biopsies, and diagnostic sampling. These are interventional procedures, not tests performed on specimens outside the body.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze or test a specimen after it has been collected. The needle is the tool for obtaining the specimen or performing the procedure, not the diagnostic test itself.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the MRI needle is a medical device used for interventional procedures, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

§ 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.

Indications for Use

MRI needles are intended for use with 1.5 Tesla (or lower field strength) magnetic resonance imaging procedures, including initial puncture, aspiration and injection, biopsies and diagnostic sampling.

Predicate Devices:

The MRI Needle is substantially equivalent to other devices intended for use in conjunction with magnetic resonance imaging in terms of indications for use, design, construction and materials' equivalence. Specifically, this device is similar to COOK INCORPORATED pre-Amendment and predicate disposable and reusable needles, magnetic resonance imaging needles manufactured by E-Z-EM®, INC. in Westbury, New York, (K#882601), and devices marketed in Europe by William Cook Europe A/S, Denmark.

Device Description:

The MRJ Needle is intended for use for the same indications as the predicate devices listed above. These indications include initial puncture, aspiration and injection, biopsies, diagnostic sampling and other interventional procedures. The materials used in this device are widely used in medical device manufacturing and their biocompatibility has been verified. In addition, design validation studies have been performed to assure the device can be expected to perform its intended function when used according to the recommendations in the product's labeling which will be provided with the device. The device will be made in 25 to 16 gage diameters, in lengths from 2.5 cm to 20 cm. It will be supplied sterile.

Substantial Equivalence

This device will be manufactured according to specified process controls and a Quality Assurance Program. This device will undergo packaging similar to the devices currently marketed and distributed by COOK INCORPORATED. This device will undergo sterilization similar to the devices currently marketed and distributed. Being similar with respect to indications for use, materials and physical construction to predicate devices, this device meets the requirements for section 510(k) substantial equivalence.

Dear Ms. Lavender:

We have reviewed your Section 510 (k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Requlations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. ਰੋ substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Requlation (QS) for Medical Devices: General requlation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug
