No
The summary describes a biopsy needle and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities, image processing, or data sets typically associated with AI/ML devices.

No
The device is used for taking biopsies, which is a diagnostic procedure, not a therapeutic one. It collects samples for analysis rather than treating a condition.

No
The device is described as an "Aspirating Needle" used for "taking cyto-histological biopsies." This indicates it is a tool for obtaining samples, not for analyzing or interpreting them to diagnose a condition. The process of diagnosis would happen after the biopsy is taken, by a pathologist examining the obtained sample.

No

The device description explicitly states "Pan® Aspirating Needle (Chiba)", which is a physical medical device used for biopsies. This indicates it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "for taking cyto-histological biopsies of soft tissue." This describes a procedure to obtain a sample from the body, not a test performed on a sample outside the body.
  • Device Description: The device is an "Aspirating Needle (Chiba)". This is a tool used for obtaining a sample, not for performing a diagnostic test on a sample.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing a sample in vitro (in a lab setting). There's no mention of reagents, test strips, analyzers, or any other elements typically associated with IVD devices.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) outside the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is used to collect the specimen.

§ 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.

Dear Mr. Hawthorne:

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 Good Manufacturing Practice for Medical Devices: General (GMP) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic GMP 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 the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
