No
The summary describes a mechanical biopsy forceps and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would suggest the use of such technologies.

No
The device is described as "biopsy forceps" intended for tissue collection for histologic examination, which is a diagnostic procedure, not a therapeutic one.

No
Explanation: The device, biopsy forceps, is used for tissue collection for histologic examination. While the examination may lead to a diagnosis, the device itself is a tool for specimen acquisition, not for performing the diagnostic analysis.

No

The device is described as "biopsy forceps," which are physical instruments used for tissue collection. The description of intended use and predicate devices further confirms it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "endoscopic tissue collection for histologic examination". This describes a tool used to obtain a sample from the body.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics (IVDs) are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. The test itself is performed outside the body.
  • Device Function: The device described is a biopsy forceps, which is a tool for collecting the sample, not for performing the diagnostic test on the sample. The histologic examination (the diagnostic test) is performed after the tissue is collected using the forceps.

Therefore, the biopsy forceps is a medical device used in the process of obtaining a sample for an IVD test, but it is not an IVD itself.

§ 874.4680 Bronchoscope (flexible or rigid) and accessories.

(a)
Identification. A bronchoscope (flexible or rigid) and accessories is a tubular endoscopic device with any of a group of accessory devices which attach to the bronchoscope and is intended to examine or treat the larynx and tracheobronchial tree. It is typically used with a fiberoptic light source and carrier to provide illumination. The device is made of materials such as stainless steel or flexible plastic. This generic type of device includes the rigid ventilating bronchoscope, rigid nonventilating bronchoscope, nonrigid bronchoscope, laryngeal-bronchial telescope, flexible foreign body claw, bronchoscope tubing, flexible biopsy forceps, rigid biopsy curette, flexible biopsy brush, rigid biopsy forceps, flexible biopsy curette, and rigid bronchoscope aspirating tube, but excludes the fiberoptic light source and carrier.(b)

Dear Mr. Pesotchinsky:

We have reviewed your Section 510K) 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 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 requirements, 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.
