Intended Use

The Single Use Aspiration Needle NA-201SX-4021 is intended to be used for ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) of submucosal and extramural lesions of the tracheobronchial tree in combination with an ultrasound endoscope. The Single Use Aspiration Needle NA-201SX-4022 is intended to be used for ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) of submucosal and extramural lesions of the tracheobronchial tree in combination with an ultrasound endoscope.

Device Story

Single-use aspiration needles (NA-201SX-4021, NA-201SX-4022) designed for ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) of tracheobronchial lesions. Used in clinical settings by physicians performing bronchoscopy with ultrasound endoscopes. Device consists of a needle (21G or 22G) with an adjustable sheath, inserted through the endoscope working channel. Physician navigates to the target lesion under ultrasound visualization, deploys the needle to aspirate tissue samples, and retracts the needle for specimen collection. Provides diagnostic tissue samples to assist in clinical decision-making and patient management. Sterile, ethylene oxide-processed, disposable device.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance testing included insertion/withdrawal, piercing, ultrasound visibility, needle slider reliability, depth limitation, tensile strength (needle-to-luer and sheath-to-handle), and structural integrity (breakage/coil separation). Biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993-1 (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, systemic toxicity, pyrogenicity, hemocompatibility) and sterility/shelf-life validation (3 years) were performed. All tests met predefined acceptance criteria.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: SUS304, NiTi, PTFE. Energy: None (manual operation). Form factor: 700mm working length, 21G/22G needle, adjustable sheath. Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide (SAL 10^-6). Visualization: Ultrasound-guided. Software: None.

Indications for Use

Indicated for ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) of submucosal and extramural lesions of the tracheobronchial tree in patients requiring tissue sampling via ultrasound endoscope.

Regulatory Classification

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.

Dear Jillian Connery:

We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate 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 (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device"

Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality System (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, 21 CFR 820.30, Design controls; 21 CFR 820.90, Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reporting-combination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.

All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rule"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E).
