## 4.0 Device Description
The disposable coaxial biopsy needle consists of canular housing, canula, marker, stylet with sharping, stylet without sharping, stylet housing and protecting sheath. It is available in several gauge sizes and lengths.
The disposable coaxial biopsy needle (hereinafter referred to as coaxial biopsy needle) is divided into 11G、13G、15G、17G、19G in accordance with the outer diameter of canula and 70mm、78mm、100mm、130mm、138mm、170mm、170mm and 178mm in accordance with the length of canula.
The materials used for construction of disposable coaxial biopsy needle are typical for this type of medical device. The only material in direct patient contact is the stainless steel 06Cr19Ni10.
The disposable coaxial biopsy needle can be used with the matching biopsy needle under the guidance of medical imaging, as a channel for other biopsy needles to enter the body and obtain biopsy samples through negative pressure or cutting for clinical diagnosis or treatment. In clinical practice, doctors sometimes repeatedly puncture the target site for biopsy. At this time, the coaxial needle is configured, which provides a channel that the device can take multiple samples at the target site. That avoids repeated puncture and injury on the patient's skin surface.
As the device is single use device, which is individually packaged sterile devices. The packaging is compatible with the product's EO sterilization method. The sterilization validation confirms the packaging is qualified bacterial film to maintain the sterilization condition of the device.

510(k) Summary
The technological characteristics of the subject device are identical to those of predicate device. The subject device has the same basic design as the predicate device. The comparison between the subject and predicate devices is based on the following:
- Same intended use
- · Same indications for use
- · Similar material types that meet ISO 10993 biocompatibility requirements
- · Same sterilization methods
- · Same fundamental technology
The Disposable Coaxial Biopsy Needle designs display minor differences between the subject device and the predicate devices for needle length. The Max Needle length of the current device are bigger than those of the predicate device, but the comparative performance testing results per FDA recognized standards ISO 9626 and ISO 7864 on the subject device and the predicate device shown there is no significant risk raised by the difference.
# 9.0 Conclusion
The conclusions drawn from the comparison and analysis above demonstrate that the proposed device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the legally marketed predicated device in K160316 and raises no new questions of safety or effectiveness. The differences between both devices are insignificant in terms of safety and effectiveness.
