Intended Use
The SmartGuide is intended for use in punctures of anatomical sites such as in organs, cysts, lymph nodes, and tissue spaces, for purposes of aspiration biopsy, drainage, injection, or fluid collection. SmartGuide can be used in punctures where non-penetrable anatomic obstacles (e.g. bone, spine) or vital structures (e.g. blood vessels, nerves) are to be avoided. The device is intended for use in environments such as CT and radiographic ultrasound.
Device Description
The SmartGuide is a puncturing device capable of extending an inner cannula which deflects in a curved shape.

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical puncturing device with a deflecting cannula and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No
The device is described as a "puncturing device" used for aspiration biopsy, drainage, injection, or fluid collection, and its intended use focuses on guiding punctures while avoiding obstacles. It is an interventional tool, not a device that provides therapy itself.

No.
The device is a puncturing device used for aspiration, biopsy, drainage, injection, or fluid collection, guided by imaging, but it does not perform diagnosis itself.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "puncturing device capable of extending an inner cannula which deflects in a curved shape," indicating a physical hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) outside of the body to provide information about a person's health.
  • SmartGuide's Intended Use: The SmartGuide is described as a "puncturing device" used for procedures like aspiration biopsy, drainage, injection, or fluid collection within the body. It's used to access anatomical sites directly.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: The description focuses on the physical act of puncturing and guiding, not on the analysis of any collected specimens.

Therefore, the SmartGuide is a medical device used for interventional procedures in vivo (within the living body), not an IVD device used for in vitro (outside the living body) analysis of specimens.

§ 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.
