Indications for Use
The Safety Biopsy Needle System (Safety Biopsy Needle and Safety Coaxial Needle with Finger Guard) is intended to be used for soft tissue and tumor biopsy of such organs as the liver, spleen, kidney, prostate, lung, breast, and lymph nodes. When used for breast biopsy, the product is for diagnosis only. The extent of histological 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 histological abnormality; e.g., malignancy. When sampled abnormality is not histologically benign, it is essential that the tissue margins be examined for completeness of removal of using standard surgical procedures.
Device Story
Safety Biopsy Needle System comprises a safety biopsy needle and a safety coaxial needle with finger guard. Used for percutaneous soft tissue and tumor biopsy. Device components include polycarbonate needle/safety mechanisms and stainless steel coaxial cannulas/stylets. Designed for single-use; sterilized via Ethylene Oxide. Integrated safety mechanisms provide sharps injury prevention. Clinicians operate the device to extract tissue samples for histological examination. Output is a physical tissue core sample. Benefits include reduced risk of needle-stick injuries to healthcare providers during biopsy procedures.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Evaluated performance via mechanical testing (penetration force, arming/activation forces, tissue sample extraction, obstruction testing) and simulated clinical use/sharps injury prevention assessments. Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993-1:2009.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Polycarbonate (needle/safety mechanism), stainless steel (coaxial cannula/stylet), polyethylene (sheath). Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide (ISO 11135:2007). Design: Manual biopsy needle system with integrated sharps injury prevention features. Gauges: 14-20G (biopsy needle), 15-19G (coaxial needle). Lengths: up to 20cm (biopsy), up to 17cm (coaxial).
Indications for Use
Indicated for soft tissue and tumor biopsy of liver, spleen, kidney, prostate, lung, breast, and lymph nodes. For breast biopsy, use is diagnostic only; requires surgical follow-up if malignancy is suspected.

#### Device Description
The Safety Biopsy Needle System consists of two main components: The Safety Biopsy Needle and the Safety Coaxial Needle with Finger Guard.
The Safety Biopsy Needle is composed of two primary assemblies: the biopsy needle and the safety mechanism. The material used to manufacture both the biopsy needle and the safety mechanism is polycarbonate. The needle sheath is made of polyethylene. The available gauges for the safety biopsy needle ranges in size from 14 to 20, with lengths ranging up to 20 centimeters.
The Safety Coaxial Needle with Finger Guard is composed of two primary assemblies, the coaxial needle cannula and the stylet. The material used to manufacture the assembly and introducer cannula, and for trocar stylet, is stainless steel. The needle sheath is made of polyethylene. The available gauges for the safety coaxial needle with finger guard ranges in size from 15 to 19, with lengths ranging up to 17 centimeters.
The Safety Biopsy Needle System is sterilized via Ethylene Oxide (EtO) and is designed for single use only.
{1}------------------------------------------------
#### Intended Use
The Safety Biopsy Needle System (Safety Biopsy Needle and Safety Coaxial Needle with Finger Guard) is intended to be used for soft tissue and tumor biopsy of such organs as the liver, spleen, kidney, prostate, lung, breast, and lymph nodes.
When used for breast biopsy, the product is for diagnosis only. The extent of histological 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 histological abnormality; e.g., malignancy. When sampled abnormality is not histologically benign, it is essential that the tissue margins be examined for completeness of removal of using standard surgical procedures.
#### Substantial Equivalence
By definition, substantial equivalence means that a device has the same intended use and technical characteristics as the predicate device, or has the same intended use and different technological characteristics, but can be demonstrated to be as safe and effective as the predicate device. The Safety Biopsy Needle System design and technology is substantially equivalent to the basic catheter design and function of the predicate devices (K11765 and K933364). The differences between the Safety Biopsy Needle System and the predicate devices do not raise questions regarding safety and effectiveness of the system. The proposed system, as designed, is as safe and effective as the predicate system.

Two short videos show you everything — or skip straight to the written tutorial if you'd rather read. You can reopen this any time from the Tutorial button in the top bar.
Part 1 — Search, results, and everyday workflows 16 min
Part 2 — Embeddings: the galaxy map 3 min
1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.
4. Device detail page: chat and citations
Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story. This is also exactly how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works under the hood, and it makes a great visual on client calls.
