No
The summary describes a mechanical biopsy needle and does not mention any AI or ML components or functions.

No
This device is for diagnostic sampling of tissue, not for treatment.

No
Explanation: The device is a biopsy needle used to collect tissue samples. While these samples may subsequently be used for diagnostic purposes, the needle itself is a tool for sample collection, not for diagnosis. Diagnostic devices are those that analyze data or samples to identify diseases or conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "spring loaded, disposable biopsy needle," which is a physical hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "take high quality histological core samples from soft tissue". This describes a device used to collect a sample from the body, not a device used to examine a sample outside of the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The device is a "spring loaded, disposable biopsy needle". This is a tool for sample collection, not for in vitro analysis.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples in a laboratory setting (e.g., reagents, assays, analyzers, etc.).

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device's function is solely to obtain the sample itself.

§ 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.
