No
The summary describes a mechanical biopsy instrument and contains no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like image processing or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices.

No
The device is described as an instrument for taking core samples from tissues, which is a diagnostic procedure, not a therapeutic one.

No
The device is described as an instrument to take core samples from tissues which is a step in obtaining samples. However, there is no indication that the device itself performs any diagnostic function on these samples or provides diagnostic information.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "automatic disposable biopsy instrument," which is a physical hardware device.

Based on the provided information, the Speed-Cut 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 to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Speed-Cut's Function: The description clearly states that the Speed-Cut is a "biopsy instrument designed to take core samples from a variety of soft tissues". This is a device used to obtain a sample from the body, not to test a sample that has already been taken.

The Speed-Cut is a surgical or procedural device used for tissue acquisition, which is a different category of medical device than an IVD.

Re: K981301 Trade Name: Speed-Cut® Automatic Biopsy System Regulatory Class: II Product Code: KNW Dated: April 2, 1998 Received: April 9, 1998

Dear Mr. Hawthrone:

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 (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 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 current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) 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 the Electronic Product 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.
