Intended Use
The ultrasound system provides imaging information, used to guide the biopsy needle through the accessory to the anatomical site where the sample of physiological material is recovered for further analysis.
Device Description
The Biopsy accessory attachment and handle, function with the ESAOTE Ultrasound Transducer previously cleared via K953819, connected with the AU4 Ultrasound system cleared via K944485/S3. The biopsy accessories consist of a metal and plastic bracket and needle guides that attach to the ultrasound transducer. The AU4 system software provides for the guidance of the biopsy needle through the biopsy accessory needle guide.
More Information

No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts. The device description focuses on mechanical components and basic software guidance.

No
The device is used for imaging and guiding a biopsy needle, which are diagnostic and procedural functions, not therapeutic ones.

No

Explanation: The device is an ultrasound system with a biopsy accessory used for guiding a needle to recover physiological material for analysis. It provides imaging information for guidance but does not diagnose conditions itself; it aids in obtaining samples for subsequent diagnostic analysis.

No

The device description explicitly states the device consists of a "metal and plastic bracket and needle guides that attach to the ultrasound transducer," indicating it includes physical hardware components in addition to software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is used to guide a biopsy needle to an anatomical site for the recovery of physiological material. The material is then subject to further analysis. This "further analysis" is where an IVD would typically come into play (e.g., analyzing the recovered sample for disease markers).
  • Device Description: The device is described as an accessory attachment and handle for an ultrasound system. Its function is to guide the needle. It does not perform any analysis or testing on the physiological material itself.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device performing any tests, measurements, or analysis on biological samples in vitro (outside the body). Its role is purely in the collection of the sample.

In summary, this device is a surgical accessory used in conjunction with an ultrasound system to facilitate the collection of a biological sample. The analysis of that sample, which would be the domain of an IVD, is a separate step that occurs after the sample is collected using this device.

§ 892.1570 Diagnostic ultrasonic transducer.

(a)
Identification. A diagnostic ultrasonic transducer is a device made of a piezoelectric material that converts electrical signals into acoustic signals and acoustic signals into electrical signals and intended for use in diagnostic ultrasonic medical devices. Accessories of this generic type of device may include transmission media for acoustically coupling the transducer to the body surface, such as acoustic gel, paste, or a flexible fluid container.(b)

Dear Mr. Richardson:

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 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 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 (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS 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 begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) 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.
