Not Found

No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts like image processing, training sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices. The description focuses on laser-based aiming.

No
The device is described as an "aiming device" to assist with interventional procedures and does not directly treat or diagnose a disease or condition.

No.
The device is described as an "aiming device" used to "verify and control correct angulation" of interventional devices like needles in guided procedures, rather than to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly states that the device "utilizes lasers," which are hardware components. Therefore, it is not a software-only medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • TarqoBeam's Intended Use: The intended use of TarqoBeam is to "verify and control correct angulation of interventional devices such as needles used in CT- or MRI-quided punctures, biopsies, and related procedures." This describes a device used during a medical procedure on a patient, not a test performed on a sample outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces this by stating it's an "aiming device which utilizes lasers to precisely place the correct angulation and position on interventional device such as a biopsy an needle." This is a tool for guiding procedures, not for analyzing biological samples.

The information provided clearly indicates that TarqoBeam is a medical device used for guiding interventional procedures, not for performing diagnostic tests on biological samples.

TargoBeam (Laser Needle Positioner) Dated: June 20, 1.997 ... .......................................... JUL 1 4 1997 Received: June 27, 1997 Regulatory class: II 21 CFR 892.1750/Procode: 90 JAK

Dear Mr. Ferguson:

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 Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic OS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

This letter will allow you to begine as described in your 5100k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Additionally, for question and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).
