THE INTENDED USE OF THE WORLDWIDE MEDICAL MODELOW FOR BONE MARROG OF THE BONE MARROW For PATHOLOGICAL IS TO OBTAIN A SAMPLE BIDPSY TRAY EXAMINATION IN THE DIALNOSIS + TREATIMENT OF VARIOUS DISEASES
Bone Marrow Biopsy Procedure Tray
This FDA 510(k) letter for the "Worldwide Medical Technologies Bone Marrow Biopsy Procedure Tray" does not contain the detailed information necessary to describe acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets specific performance metrics.
Here's why and what information is missing:
- Substantial Equivalence (SE) vs. Performance Data: This letter grants "substantial equivalence." This means the FDA has determined the device is as safe and effective as a legally marketed predicate device, not that it has passed specific, quantitative performance acceptance criteria in a study. A 510(k) submission typically relies heavily on comparison to a predicate device, rather than extensive new clinical or performance studies demonstrating novel performance claims.
- Device Type: A bone marrow biopsy tray is a collection of instruments and materials used to obtain a sample. The performance of the tray itself isn't typically measured by statistical metrics like sensitivity or specificity, but rather by its ability to facilitate the procedure (e.g., sterility, strength of components, ease of use, ability to obtain an adequate sample). The diagnostic performance (e.g., accuracy of diagnosis) is related to the subsequent pathological examination of the sample, not the tray itself.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information because it is not present in the provided document. The letter focuses on regulatory approval based on substantial equivalence, not on a detailed performance study with acceptance criteria.

Dear Mr. Lamoureux:
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 (the Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions However, you are responsible to determine that the of Act. medical devices you use as components in the tray have either . been determined as substantially equivalent under the premarket notification process (Section 510(k) of the act), or were on the market prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments. Please note: If you purchase your device components in bulk (i.e., unfinished) and further process (e.g., sterilize) you must submit a new 510(k) before including these components in your kit/tray. 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 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
