Intended Use
The INJEX ™- and ROJEX ™ needle- free Injection System Extra is exclusively designed to deliver medicines that can be administrated subcutaneously by jet injection propelling a jet of liquid medicine through the skin into subcutaneous tissue under high pressure. This medical device is intended for the application of prescription drugs and to sale by or on the order of a physician. Target Population: Patients who have to be injected with liquid pharmaceuticals.
Device Description
The INJEX™ and ROJEX™ Systems Extra are medical devices to apply liquid medicine needle-free through the skin into the subcutaneous tissue. The process is based on the generation of a defined high velocity jet of fluid to penetrate the skin and to transport the medicine to the subcutaneous tissue. The energy source to accelerate the fluid within the ampoule is an internal spring. The INJEX™ Injector is designed for multi- use. To tense the spring within the small hand- held injector for injection the reset box is used. For patient's safety the injector is equipped with two safety mechanisms. The automatic mechanism will be deactivated by mounting the ampoule onto the injector, and before injecting The ROJEX™ Injector is a disposable medical device for single- use. For patient's safety the injector is equipped with a manual safety mechanism, the safety ring. Before injecting the dose of medicine to the individual the safety ring needs to be shifted into the safe- off position. To transfer the medicine from its different repositories into the ampoule several adapters are designed. In case, medicines in cartridges are used an aid is available: the transporter. The INJEX™ Systems Extra consist of two main components which are re- usable: - . INJEX™ Injector - . Reset Box The ROJEX™ Systems Extra represent the disposable medical device: - · ROJEX™ Injector, pre- tensed The three accessories for INJEX™ needle- free Injection systems Extra are: - Transporter, re- usable . - Adapter, sterile, usable for one medicine repository . - Ampoule, sterile, for single- use .
More Information

No
The description focuses on the mechanical aspects of a needle-free injection system and does not mention any AI or ML components.

No
The device delivers medication, but it does not inherently treat diseases or conditions itself. Its function is to facilitate the injection of therapeutic drugs.

No

The device is designed to deliver medicine subcutaneously via jet injection, not to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components including injectors, a reset box, adapters, a transporter, and ampoules. The device's function is based on a physical mechanism (spring tension) to deliver medication.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "deliver medicines that can be administrated subcutaneously by jet injection." This is a therapeutic delivery method, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device description focuses on the mechanism of delivering liquid medicine into the subcutaneous tissue. It describes injectors, ampoules, and adapters for transferring medicine. None of these components are related to analyzing biological samples for diagnostic purposes.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring analytes
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or prognosis of a disease or condition

The device is clearly described as a system for administering medication, which falls under the category of therapeutic devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

§ 880.5430 Nonelectrically powered fluid injector.

(a)
Identification. A nonelectrically powered fluid injector is a nonelectrically powered device used by a health care provider to give a hypodermic injection by means of a narrow, high velocity jet of fluid which can penetrate the surface of the skin and deliver the fluid to the body. It may be used for mass inoculations.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Rösch AG MedizintechnikPage 2 / 2

The three accessories for INJEX™ needle- free Injection systems Extra are:

  • Transporter, re- usable .
  • Adapter, sterile, usable for one medicine repository .
  • Ampoule, sterile, for single- use .
  • E Intended Use:

The INJEX™ - and ROJEX™ needle- free injection systems Extra are designed for the delivery of medicines which are administrated subcutaneously by jet injection. Because of the absence of a needle, the fluid is transferred from an ampoule via its mirco- orifice through the aid of a capillary, high velocity, to the body.

F Comparison of Required Technological Characteristics: The INJEX™ - and ROJEX™ needle-free injection systems Extra picture the same technological characteristics as the predicated devices. The key difference of the ROJEX™ injector is its mainly plastic composition and single- use mode. Both devices, INJEX™ - and ROJEX™ injectors, are suitable to deliver liquid pharmaceuticals into the subcutaneous tissue of the body. Due to the technological identity and the same indications for use, no additional safety items had to be investigated.

  • G Summary and Conclusions of non- clinical Tests
    In addition to the supplier's raw material testing reqarding the ampoule, biological effects as cytotoxicity, tissue irritation, systemic toxicity, and sensitisation were analysed.
