Intended Use
The MedAmicus Axia RSN™ is intended to minimize needle stick injuries when used for percutaneous introduction of guidewires or other devices.
Device Description
The MedAmicus Axia RSN™ is a single use device for percutaneous introduction of guidewires, or similar devices, up to 0.038 inches in diameter. The device is packaged as either sterile single units or as part of a kit. The device is designed with a shield as part of the safety needle mechanism to aid in the prevention of needle stick injuries. The needle of the device is retracted into the shield by pushing the button prior to removal of the device off the guidewire, or other device, and out of the body. After retraction, the shield covers the needle tip. The device is disposed of according to routine procedure in a sharps container.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use focus on a mechanical safety mechanism for preventing needle stick injuries. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any computational analysis of data.

No
The device is described as an introducer to minimize needle stick injuries, not as a device that treats or diagnoses a medical condition.

No
Explanation: The device is described as an introducer to minimize needle stick injuries, not to diagnose medical conditions. Its function is to facilitate the percutaneous introduction of guidewires or other devices.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical, single-use device with a needle, shield, and button mechanism, indicating it is a hardware medical device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "minimize needle stick injuries when used for percutaneous introduction of guidewires or other devices." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for a procedural purpose, not for testing samples in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a device for introducing guidewires into the body and a safety mechanism to prevent needle sticks. This aligns with a medical device used in a procedure, not a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostic testing.

The device is clearly a medical device designed for use during a medical procedure to enhance safety.

Dear Mr. Haskell:

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.
