The device is for administering medication, not for providing therapy itself.
No
The device is designed to deliver medicine or vaccines, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description clearly outlines four main hardware components: Injector, Reset Box, Ampule, and Vial Adapter. This indicates it is a physical medical device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "deliver various medicines and vaccines by means of a narrow, high velocity jet of fluid which penetrates the surface of the skin and delivers the medicine or vaccine to the body." This describes a device used for administering substances into the body, not for testing samples from the body.
- Device Description: The description details a system for needle-free injection of medications into subcutaneous tissue. It focuses on the mechanism of delivery and the components involved in that process.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on testing in vitro (outside the body).
The device is clearly designed for therapeutic administration of substances, which falls outside the scope of In Vitro Diagnostics.

Device Description
Equidyne Systems Injex 30 Injector System is a means of administering subcutaneous medications without the use of needles. The needle free injector utilizes a high velocity focused jet of liquid to penetrate the skin and deposit the medication in the subcutaneous tissue. The process takes place in a fraction of a second. Needle free injection is useful in a wide range of drug therapy including immunization vaccines, hormones and local anesthetics, as well as the administration of insulin to the diabetic population, where individuals may need a number of injections per day. The Injex 30 Injector system consists of four main components; Injector A small re-usable hand held Injector, Reset Box A compact re-usable Reset Box used to reset and store the Injex 30 Injector, Ampule A disposable, sterile 0.3 ml Ampule that functions like a needle syringe to draw the medication from the medicine bottle or vial using a hand draw with a plunger. Once the Ampule is loaded into the Iniex 30 Iniector, the dose is injected into the individual by releasing the Safety and pressing the trigger. Vial Adapter A disposable, sterile Vial Adapter facilitates the transfer of the medication from the medicine bottle or vial to the Ampule. The Injex 30 Injector can deliver variable doses of fluid medication from 0.05 ml to 0.30 ml.

The chicken breast was used as a human subcutaneous tissue model due to its similarity to human tissue. Chicken breasts were injected with 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25 and 0.30 ml of colored water using the Injex 30 Injector. The injection sites were then dissected and the flow and dispersion of the colored water was examined and compared. The results were compared to the predicate device.

Dear Mr. Barley:
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. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.
