Intended Use
Like the Bard Biopsy Needle (K871390), the Auto Suture* ABBI* Breast Biopsy System is intended for obtaining biopsies from breast tissues for diagnostic purposes. The device is not intended for therapeutic excision of tissue.
Device Description
Both the Auto Suture* ABBI* Breast Biopsy System, and Bard® Biopty® Instrument Biopty-Cut® Needle (K871390) are indicated for obtaining soft tissue samples under imaging control.
More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical biopsy system and needle, with no mention of AI, ML, or any computational analysis of images beyond "imaging control" for guidance.

No
The device is described as being "intended for obtaining biopsies from breast tissues for diagnostic purposes" and "is not intended for therapeutic excision of tissue."

Yes
The device is intended for obtaining biopsies from breast tissues for diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description explicitly mentions a "Breast Biopsy System" and a "Biopty-Cut® Needle," which are hardware components used for obtaining tissue samples. The summary does not indicate that the device is solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis. This device is used to obtain the specimen (breast tissue) from the body.
  • The intended use explicitly states it's for "obtaining biopsies from breast tissues for diagnostic purposes." This describes a procedure to collect a sample, not to perform a diagnostic test on the sample itself.
  • The device description focuses on the mechanism for obtaining the tissue sample. It compares it to another biopsy needle, which is also a device for tissue collection.

While the tissue obtained by this device will likely be used for in vitro diagnostic testing later, the device itself is a tissue acquisition device, not an IVD.

§ 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.
