Device Facts

• Record ID: K032506
• Device Name: SANARUS CENTRICA II ROTATIONAL CORE BIOPSY SYSTEM
• Applicant: Sanarus Medical, Inc.
• Product Code: KNW · Gastroenterology, Urology
• Decision Date: Oct 9, 2003
• Decision: SESE
• Submission Type: Traditional
• Regulation: 21 CFR 876.1075
• Device Class: Class 2

Intended Use

The device is indicated for use in obtaining biopsies from soft tissues such as liver, kidney, prostate, spleen, lymph nodes and various soft tissue tumors. It is not intended for use in bone. The device is also indicated to provide breast tissue samples for diagnostic sampling of breast abnormalities. It is designed to provide breast tissue for histologic examination with partial or complete removal of the imaged abnormality. The extent of histologic abnormality cannot be reliably determined from its mammographic appearance. Therefore, the extent of removal of the imaged evidence of an abnormality does not predict the extent of removal of a histologic abnormality (e.g., malignancy). When the sampled abnormality is not histologically benign, it is essential that the tissue margins be examined for completeness of removal using standard surgical procedures.

Device Story

Sanarus Centrica II is a rotational core biopsy system comprising a sticking needle, cutting cannula, control unit, and specimen container. The system uses cold temperatures at the needle tip to engage and secure tissue; a coaxially mounted cutting cannula cores the specimen. Available in various gauge sizes and lengths. Used by clinicians for diagnostic sampling of soft tissue and breast abnormalities. The device provides tissue samples for histologic examination. It facilitates partial or complete removal of imaged breast abnormalities, though it does not guarantee complete removal of malignant tissue, necessitating follow-up surgical examination of margins if findings are not benign.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance testing confirmed that the quality of samples obtained with the Sanarus Centrica II is equivalent to the predicate device.

Technological Characteristics

System includes a sticking needle, cutting cannula, control unit, and specimen container. Employs cryo-assisted tissue engagement (cold temperature at needle tip) and mechanical rotational coring. Available in multiple gauge sizes and lengths. Sterilization methods and sterility assurance levels are equivalent to the predicate.

Indications for Use

Indicated for soft tissue biopsy (liver, kidney, prostate, spleen, lymph nodes, tumors) and diagnostic breast tissue sampling in patients with breast abnormalities. Contraindicated for use in bone.

Regulatory Classification

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.

## (3) Device Name

Sanarus Centrica™ II Rotational Core Biopsy System

## Device Description (4)

The Sanarus Centrica II Rotational Core Biopsy System consists of a sticking needle, cutting cannula, fully integrated control unit and specimen container. The sticking needle is operated by the control unit and uses cold temperatures at its tip to engage the tissue to be sampled. The cutting cannula is coaxially mounted around the sticking needle and is used to core the tissue specimen. The cutting cannula will be available in several qauge sizes and lengths.

# (5) Indications for Use

The device is indicated for use in obtaining biopsies from soft tissues such as liver, kidney, prostate, spleen, lymph nodes and various soft tissue tumors. It is not intended for use in bone.

abnormality. The extent of histologic abnormality cannot be reliably determined from its mammographic appearance. Therefore, the extent of removal of the imaged evidence of an abnormality does not predict the extent of removal of a histologic abnormality (e.g., malignancy). When the sampled abnormality is not histologically benign, it is essential that the tissue margins be examined for completeness of removal using standard surqical procedures.

#### (6) Name of Predicate or Legally Marketed Device

Sanarus Centrica™ Rotational Core Biopsy System

#### (7) Substantial Equivalence

The Sanarus Centrica II Rotational Core Biopsy System is substantially equivalent to the Centrica Rotational Core Biopsy System that was determined to be substantially equivalent on Sep 23, 2002 (reference K022879).

The Sanarus Centrica II Rotational Core Biopsv System has the same indications for use and technological characteristics as the predicate device. The patient contact components and component materials for obtaining core biopsy samples in both the new and predicate device are the same. The packaging materials, packaging configurations, sterilization methods and sterility assurance level are also equivalent.

Based on the indications for use, technological characteristics and performance testing results, the Sanarus Centrica II Rotational Core Biopsy System does not raise significant new questions of safety and effectiveness.

## (8) Performance Testing Summary

Performance testing confirms that the quality of samples obtained with the Sanarus Centrica II Rotational Core Biopsy System is equivalent to the predicate device.
