No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, image processing, or any other indicators of AI/ML technology. The device is described as an "Automated Core Biopsy Device," which typically refers to the mechanical automation of the biopsy process, not intelligent analysis.

No
The device is used to obtain biopsy samples for diagnosis, which is a diagnostic purpose, not a therapeutic one.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the product is "for diagnosis only" when used for breast biopsy, and its primary purpose is to obtain biopsy samples, which are then used for diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description explicitly states "Automated Core Biopsy Device," which is a hardware device used for obtaining tissue samples. The intended use also describes a physical procedure ("percutaneous core biopsy samples"). There is no indication that this is a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples such as blood, urine, or tissue taken from the human body to detect diseases or other conditions. They are used outside of the body ("in vitro").
  • Device Function: The description clearly states the device is used "to obtain percutaneous core biopsy samples from soft tissue...". This is a procedure performed on the patient's body to collect a sample.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to obtain samples for diagnosis, not to perform the diagnostic test itself on those samples.

Therefore, this device is a medical device used for sample collection, which is a step before any potential in vitro diagnostic testing might be performed on the collected sample.

§ 876.1075 Gastroenterology-urology biopsy instrument.

(a)
Identification. A gastroenterology-urology biopsy instrument is a device used to remove, by cutting or aspiration, a specimen of tissue for microscopic examination. This generic type of device includes the biopsy punch, gastrointestinal mechanical biopsy instrument, suction biopsy instrument, gastro-urology biopsy needle and needle set, and nonelectric biopsy forceps. This section does not apply to biopsy instruments that have specialized uses in other medical specialty areas and that are covered by classification regulations in other parts of the device classification regulations.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (performance standards).(2) Class I for the biopsy forceps cover and the non-electric biopsy forceps. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.

Re: K994272 Trade Name: Automated Core Biopsy Device Regulatory Class: II Product Code: KNW Dated: December 10, 1999 Received: December 20, 1999

Dear Mr. Mark:

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.
