No
The 510(k) summary describes a physical medical device (a bone marrow aspiration needle) and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any software-based analytical capabilities.

No
The device is used for obtaining a bone marrow sample for diagnostic purposes, not for treating a disease.

Yes
The device is used to obtain a sample for pathological examination "in the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases," indicating its role in the diagnostic process.

No

The device is a bone marrow aspiration needle, which is a physical medical device, 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 tests performed on samples such as blood, urine, or tissue that have been taken from the human body to detect diseases or other conditions. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The "I" Type Bone Marrow Aspiration Needle is a device used to obtain a sample of bone marrow. It is a tool for sample collection, not a test performed on the sample itself.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "percutaneous puncture of the sternum to obtain a sample... for pathological examination". The pathological examination is the diagnostic part, which would likely be performed using IVD methods on the collected sample.

Therefore, the needle is a medical device used in a procedure that facilitates an IVD process, but it is not an IVD itself.
