No
The device description and intended use clearly define a mechanical accessory for guiding needles during ultrasound-guided procedures. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any computational processing that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" and "Mentions image processing" sections are explicitly marked as "Not Found".
No.
The device, a needle guide for biopsies, assists in a medical procedure but does not directly treat or prevent a disease or condition. Its purpose is to facilitate accurate targeting for diagnostic (biopsy) procedures.
No
The device is an accessory (needle guide) used with an ultrasound transducer to facilitate biopsies, which is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic one by itself. It helps direct a needle for tissue sampling, but the diagnostic process occurs through the analysis of the collected sample, not by the device itself.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical tube or cannula made of stainless steel or plastic, designed to attach to an ultrasound transducer. This is a hardware accessory, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
- Device Function: The description clearly states that this device is an accessory (needle guide) used during a medical procedure (vaginal biopsy) to help direct a needle or catheter. It works in conjunction with an ultrasound transducer and system to guide the physical insertion of a needle into the body.
- No Specimen Analysis: The device itself does not collect, prepare, or analyze any specimens from the body. Its function is purely mechanical guidance during a procedure.
Therefore, while it is a medical device used in a diagnostic context (biopsy), it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic.

(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. Pruter:
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. You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions Act (Act). The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practices, 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 requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (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 the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
Please be advised that the determination above is based on the fact that no medical devices have been demonstrated to be safe and effective for in vitro fertilization or percutaneous umbilical blood sampling, nor have any devices been marketed for these uses in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, or reclassified into class I (General Controls) or class II (Special Controls). FDA considers devices specifically intended for in vitro fertilization and percutaneous umbilical blood sameling to be investigational, and subject to the provision of the investigational device exemptions (IDE) regulations, 21 CFR, Part 812. Therefore, your product labeling must be consistent with FDA's position on this use.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a c!assification for your device and thus permits your device to proceed to market.
