Pan® Aspirating Needle (Chiba)
This is a 510(k) clearance letter for the Pan® Aspirating Needle (Chiba), dated May 2, 1997. It indicates that the device has been found substantially equivalent to devices marketed prior to May 28, 1976. This document does NOT contain information regarding acceptance criteria, device performance, or any studies proving the device meets acceptance criteria.
The information provided confirms the following:
- Trade Name: Pan® Aspirating Needle (Chiba)
- Regulatory Class: II
- Product Code: KNW
- Indications for Use: To be used for taking cyto-histological biopsies of soft tissue.
- Submission Type: 510(k) premarket notification (K970872)
Since this document is a 510(k) clearance letter, it does not include the detailed information requested regarding:
- A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
- Sample size used for the test set and data provenance
- Number of experts used to establish ground truth and their qualifications
- Adjudication method
- Multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study results
- Standalone algorithm performance
- Type of ground truth used
- Sample size for the training set
- How ground truth for the training set was established
A 510(k) submission typically includes data demonstrating substantial equivalence, sometimes referencing existing predicate device performance or providing limited performance data for the new device. However, the clearance letter itself does not detail these studies. To obtain such information, one would need to review the full 510(k) submission (if publicly available or by freedom of information act request) or supporting documentation from the manufacturer.

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.
