Intended Use
The LifeGuard™ Safety Infusion Set is used to access implanted vascular ports to administer fluids and/or to withdraw blood. The LifeGuard™ Safety Infusion Set facilitates safe removal of the needle by encapsulating the needle during vascular port de-accessing to help prevent needlestick injuries.
Device Description
The LifeGuard™ Infusion Set is a standard 90° non-coring needle intravascular administration set with a sharps injury protection. The LifeGuard™ Infusion Set is designed for use with vascular access devices. The needle is inserted into the vascular access port in a standard manner for fluid infusion or for blood sampling. The components that comprise the LifeGuard™ Safety Infusion Set includes the following: a PVC tubing set; a white clamp to prevent fluid flow; a universal female luer lock connector to connect to infusion/aspiration devices; a white cap to close the female luer; a winged needle holder to secure the infusion set to the patient with a pre-attached 90° non-coring needle to access the implanted port and allow the user to pull the needle up into the safety position; a needle trap encapsulates the needle after de-accessing the needle from the implanted port; and a needle guard shrouds the needle before use. Some models include a Ysite as an alternate female luer injection site with an additional white cap and white clamp to prevent fluid flow. A thermoformed tray with a heat sealed tyvek lid provides a sterile barrier. The LifeGuard™ Safety Infusion Set is fabricated from biocompatible, medical grade materials. The LifeGuard™ Safety Infusion Sets are supplied as sterile, non-latex, nonpyrogenic, intended for single use only and are manufactured out of non-DEHP PVC. De-accessing the needle is done as with any standard non-coring needle, using a one-handed (dominant hand) technique to remove the needle while stabilizing the port with the nondominate hand. As the needle is removed, the passive sharps injury protection feature is actuated by sliding the needle holder upward, · which encapsulates the needle within the needle trap.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical features for sharps injury protection and standard infusion set functionality. There is no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is described as an "infusion set" used to access vascular ports for administering fluids or withdrawing blood. Its primary safety feature is needle encapsulation to prevent needlestick injuries, which is a protective rather than a therapeutic function.

No

Explanation: The device is an infusion set used to administer fluids and withdraw blood, and it includes a safety feature to prevent needlestick injuries. Its function is to provide access to vascular ports, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines multiple physical components made of materials like PVC, including tubing, clamps, connectors, a needle holder, a needle trap, and a needle guard. It is a physical medical device with a sharps injury protection feature.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to access implanted vascular ports to administer fluids and/or withdraw blood, and to facilitate safe needle removal. This is a device used for accessing the body and delivering/collecting substances, not for performing tests on samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description details a physical device with tubing, needles, connectors, and safety features for accessing a vascular port. It does not describe components or processes for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of reagents, assays, analysis of biological samples, or any other typical characteristics of an IVD.
  • Performance Studies: The performance study focuses on the failure rate of the sharps injury protection feature, which is a mechanical safety aspect of the device, not a diagnostic performance metric.
  • Predicate Devices: The predicate devices are also infusion sets, which are not IVDs.

In summary, the LifeGuard™ Safety Infusion Set is a medical device used for accessing the vascular system for therapeutic or collection purposes, not for performing diagnostic tests on samples.

Technological Characteristics:

The LifeGuard™ Safety Infusion Set is manufactured from the same materials as the LifePort® Infusion Set. The current LifePort® Infusion Set does not have a sharps injury protection. The LifeGuard™ Safety Infusion set needle; components and safety mechanism are all fabricated out of medical grade materials. The LifeGuard™ Safety Infusion Set operates the same as a standard non-coring needle with the addition of a safety feature to help prevent needlestick injuries.

Performance Data

Horizon Medical Products, Inc. certifies that the materials used to manufacture the winged needle holder, base and needle trap are the same materials used in the manufacture of the LifePort® Infusion Set predicate device (refer to Biocompatibility Matrix). The same manufacturing process and type of sterilization that are used for the manufacture of Horizon's predicate device and Horizon's other legally marketed medical devices will be used to manufacture and sterilize the LifeGuard™ Infusion Set. The cannula tubing, Y-connector (minus synthetic polyisoprene injection port with shinkwrap), non-coring needle, female luer connector, white clamp and white cap remain identical to the LifePort® Infusion set predicate device. Since the critical features of the device have not changed, performance results will be identical to the predicate device (LifePort® Infusion Set). Testing was performed on the LifeGuard™ Safety Infusion Set to show adequacy of the device design and substantial equivalency.

A Simulated Use Study (n=500) demonstrated that the failure rate of the sharps injury protection feature is less than 1.1% (at 95% confidence) or less than 1.5% (at 99% confidence). Test results demonstrated that the LifeGuard™ Safety Infusion Set is substantially equivalent to the noted predicate devices commercially in distribution for the same intended use.
