Intended Use
NO-POKES™ is a disposable needle recapping aid that helps prevent recapping injury by providing repository for the needle cap (other than the user's hand) in which to place the cap while using the syringe. This keeps the user's hand away from the needle during uncapping and recapping. The cap of the capped needle is placed in the NO-POKES™ . The "wax-like" substance in the NO-POKES™ holds the cap securely while the operator uses the needle. After the procedure, while the cap is secured in the NO-POKES™, the operator inserts the needle back into the cap without exposing his/her hand to the needle. The NO-POKES™ container has an adhesive on the base to hold it to the desired surface while in use.

No
The device description details a simple mechanical aid for needle recapping, with no mention of computational processing, algorithms, or learning capabilities.

No
The device is described as a "needle recapping aid" that helps prevent injury by providing a secure place for the needle cap, not for treating or diagnosing any medical condition.

No
The device is described as a "disposable needle recapping aid" that prevents injury by holding a needle cap. Its function is to provide a safe repository for a needle cap during use, not to diagnose any medical condition or diseases.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical product made of a container with a "wax-like" substance and adhesive, designed to hold a needle cap. This is a hardware device, not software.

Based on the provided information, the NO-POKES™ device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • NO-POKES™ Function: The NO-POKES™ device is a physical aid designed to prevent needle stick injuries during the process of recapping a needle. It provides a safe place to hold the needle cap.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: The device does not interact with biological specimens, perform any tests, or provide any diagnostic information about a patient's health. Its function is purely mechanical and safety-related.

Therefore, the NO-POKES™ falls under the category of a general medical device, specifically a safety device, rather than an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Howell:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls.
