Vidacare's OnControl bone marrow biopsy system (K142377, 17 December 2014) is intended \"for bone marrow aspiration and biopsy in adult and pediatric patients age 2 and older\"; that clearance expanded its use to children. Bard's BD Trek powered bone biopsy system (K213896, 30 March 2022) and Laurane Medical's OmniBone kits with power driver (K230015, 16 June 2023) followed. Manual needles remain common; the glossary entry on core needle biopsy covers bone marrow aspirate and trephine.","status":"established","asOf":"2026-11-04","links":[{"label":"FDA 510(k) K142377: OnControl bone marrow biopsy system (17 December 2014)","url":"https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm?ID=K142377"},{"label":"FDA 510(k) K213896: BD Trek powered bone biopsy system (30 March 2022)","url":"https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm?ID=K213896"},{"label":"FDA 510(k) K230015: OmniBone with power driver (16 June 2023)","url":"https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm?ID=K230015"}],"tags":["devices-gaps-2026-11"],"related":[],"cancers":["multiple-myeloma","aml","cll","dlbcl"],"sections":["diagnostics","devices"],"technologies":["haematology-analysers","m-protein-laboratory-analysers","flow-cytometers"],"targets":[],"drugs":[],"companies":["becton-dickinson"],"institutions":[],"pathways":[],"terms":["core-needle-biopsy","biopsy"],"trials":[],"people":[],"bottlenecks":[],"keyPapers":[],"journals":[],"dependsOn":[],"notes":[],"provenance":{"editedBy":"OnCo device gap fill (openFDA, accessdata.fda.gov, NICE, Europe PMC, maker pages)","editedOn":"2026-11-04"},"principle":"A battery-powered rotary driver advances a trephine needle through the cortex of the iliac crest at controlled speed, then a core is cut and withdrawn for histology alongside an aspirate.","strengths":["Faster insertion than a manual needle","Usable in children aged 2 and older (OnControl)"],"limitations":["Driver and disposable cost","Still needs local anaesthetic and sometimes sedation"],"since":2014},"route":"/technologies/bone-marrow-biopsy-devices/","neighbours":{"cancer":[{"id":"aml","kind":"cancer","name":"Acute myeloid leukaemia","route":"/cancers/aml/"},{"id":"cll","kind":"cancer","name":"Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia","route":"/cancers/cll/"},{"id":"dlbcl","kind":"cancer","name":"Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma","route":"/cancers/dlbcl/"},{"id":"multiple-myeloma","kind":"cancer","name":"Multiple myeloma","route":"/cancers/multiple-myeloma/"}],"section":[{"id":"devices","kind":"section","name":"Devices & Physical Therapies","route":"/fronts/devices/"},{"id":"diagnostics","kind":"section","name":"Diagnostics & Biomarkers","route":"/fronts/diagnostics/"}],"technology":[{"id":"flow-cytometers","kind":"technology","name":"Flow cytometers","route":"/technologies/flow-cytometers/"},{"id":"haematology-analysers","kind":"technology","name":"Haematology analysers and digital blood film and marrow morphology (Sysmex XN, DxH 900, CellaVision, Scopio)","route":"/technologies/haematology-analysers/"},{"id":"m-protein-laboratory-analysers","kind":"technology","name":"M-protein analysers: mass spectrometry, capillary electrophoresis and free light chain assays (EXENT, Capillarys, Freelite)","route":"/technologies/m-protein-laboratory-analysers/"}],"company":[{"id":"becton-dickinson","kind":"company","name":"BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company)","route":"/companies/becton-dickinson/"}],"term":[{"id":"biopsy","kind":"term","name":"Biopsy","route":"/terms/biopsy/"},{"id":"core-needle-biopsy","kind":"term","name":"Core needle biopsy and fine-needle aspiration (FNA)","route":"/terms/core-needle-biopsy/"}]}}
