Intended Use

The Accucore Biopsy Needle can be used for obtaining core and/or aspiration biopsies of various tissues (prostate, lung, liver, spleen, thyroid, adrenals, abdominal soft tissue masses, breast). For breast biopsy this product is for diagnosis only - not for therapeutic use.

Device Description

The design of the Inrad Accucore Biopsy Needle as well as the predicate device is referenced in the Comparison Information Section. The products are identically manufactured using the identical manufacturing systems, design and materials. Both needles are manufactured by Manan Medical products, Inc. The primary difference is packaging and sterilization which will be performed by Inrad. The device is manufactured from plastic(ABS) and stainless steel. The stainless steel is the only thing that has direct patient contact.

AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning)

No
The summary describes a mechanical biopsy needle and makes no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any software-driven analysis.

Therapeutic

No.
The intended use states: "For breast biopsy this product is for diagnosis only - not for therapeutic use."

Diagnostic

Yes
The device is used for obtaining core and/or aspiration biopsies of various tissues "for diagnosis only". Obtaining biopsies for diagnosis is a diagnostic function.

SaMD (Software as a Medical Device)

No

The device description explicitly states the device is manufactured from plastic and stainless steel, indicating it is a physical medical device, not software-only.

IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

• IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used outside of the body (in vitro).
• Device Function: The Accucore Biopsy Needle is used to obtain tissue samples from the body. It is a tool for collecting the sample, not for performing a diagnostic test on the sample itself.
• Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "obtaining core and/or aspiration biopsies." This is a sample collection procedure. The diagnosis is made after the sample is collected and analyzed, likely in a laboratory using IVD methods.

While the biopsy sample obtained by this device will be used for diagnostic purposes, the device itself is a surgical/procedural tool, not an in vitro diagnostic test.

510(K) SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS (As required by 21 CFR 807.92(c))

• 1. INDICATIONS: The indications or intended use for the Inrad Accucore Biopsy Needle as well as the predicate device, Manan Medical Products, Inc. Automatic Cutting Needle (K 974446)/(K895897) are the same. Both have the same indications, which is for obtaining soft tissue biopsies with a commercially available biopsy instrument. Manan has the original 510K (K895897) which had an indication for prostate biopsy. In 1997 Manan was awarded a 510K for the same product with broader indications for liver, kidney and other soft tissues for diagnostic evaluation.
• 2. DESIGN: The design of the Inrad Accucore Biopsy Needle as well as the predicate device is referenced in the Comparison Information Section. The products are identically manufactured using the identical manufacturing systems, design and materials. Both needles are manufactured by Manan Medical products, Inc. The primary difference is packaging and sterilization which will be performed by Inrad.
• 3. MATERIALS: The device is manufactured from plastic(ABS) and stainless steel. The stainless steel is the only thing that has direct patient contact Both products are identically manufactured by Manan Medical Products Inc. using the identical manufacturing systems, design and materials
• 4. SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS: Manan Medical Products Inc. has sold the identical device in the market place since 1989 and has proven to be safe and effective. The products are identically manufactured using the identical manufacturing systems, design and materials and there are no differences in safety and effectiveness.
• 5. DIFFERENCES: There are no differences between the Inrad Inc. Accucore Biopsy Needle and the Manan Medical Products Inc. Core Biopsy Needle other than the source of packaging and sterilization.
