Not Found

No
The summary describes a disposable biopsy needle and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices.

No
The device is a needle for obtaining biopsies, which is a diagnostic procedure, not a therapeutic one.

Yes
The device is used for obtaining biopsies, which are samples of tissue used for diagnosis. Therefore, the device facilitates diagnosis by providing the necessary sample.

No

The intended use describes a "disposable needle," which is a physical hardware component used for obtaining biopsies. This clearly indicates the device is not software-only.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to obtain biopsies from soft tissues. This is a procedure performed on the patient to collect a sample.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) outside of the body to provide information about a person's health.

This device is used to collect the sample, not to analyze it in vitro. Therefore, it falls under the category of a surgical or procedural device, not an IVD.

Re: K981796 Trade Name: Light Saber™ Core Tissue Biopsy Needle Regulatory Class: II Product Code: KNW Dated: May 12, 1998 Received: May 21, 1998

Dear Mr. Parker :

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 (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 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.
