More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on mechanical components and pressure measurement, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities.

No
The device is described as dispensing fluids and monitoring pressure, which are diagnostic and procedural functions, not therapeutic ones.

No

The device is intended to dispense fluids and monitor pressure, which are interventional or monitoring actions, not diagnostic for identifying a disease or condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a plastic syringe, plunger, manometer, and connecting tube, indicating it is a hardware device with a mechanical function.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "dispense fluids to the body and monitor the pressure of those fluids." This involves direct interaction with the patient's body, not the examination of specimens in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description details a syringe, manometer, and connecting tube, all components used for delivering substances and measuring pressure within the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens obtained from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device's function falls outside of that definition.

Predicate:

Atrion Medical Products Balloon Catheter Inflation Device, cleared for market on October 10, 1997 under 510(k) submission K972964. The new device will have the same intended use as the Monarch (IN 2125)/Intellisystem (IN 1125), which was cleared for market on November 25, 1997 under 510(k) submission K973230.

Device Description/Intended Use:

The Atrion Medical QL™ Fluid Dispensing Syringe consists of a plastic syringe with a screw-type plunger and a locking lever and rotating palm grip that control the plunger, a manometer to measure pressure and a connecting tube.

The svringe is intended for single use by healthcare professionals to dispense fluids to the body and monitor the pressure of those fluids.

Technological Characteristics:

The Atrion Medical QL™ Fluid Dispensing Syringe has an operating pressure range of vacuum to gauge capacity, depending on the manometer attached, while the predicate device has a range of vacuum to 10 or 20 atm, depending on the manometer attached. There are no other significant technological characteristics that distinguish the two devices, and no differences that should pose a risk to patient safety.

Summary of Safety Testing:

The materials of the device which contact the solution in use have been tested using USP guidelines and the results of these studies indicate that the product is safe for its intended use.
