No
The device is a blood collection tube and the description focuses on its physical components and function in separating serum from blood. There is no mention of any computational or analytical capabilities that would involve AI/ML.
No.
The device is described as a blood collection tube used for laboratory testing, not for treating or diagnosing a disease.
No
The device is a blood collection tube used for collecting, transporting, separating, and processing blood for clinical laboratory testing. It does not directly diagnose conditions but rather prepares samples for diagnostic tests.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components (plastic tube, closure assembly, gel barrier, silica clot activator, silicone surfactant coating) and its function involves physical processes (blood collection, centrifugation, separation). There is no mention of software as a component or primary function.
Based on the provided information, yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the blood collected in this tube is "primarily used for clinical laboratory testing in chemistry using patient serum" and "may be used for other assays requiring serum specimens as determined by the laboratory." This directly aligns with the definition of an IVD, which is a device intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body for the purpose of providing information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease or injury.
- Device Description: The description details how the device processes blood to separate serum for "clinical laboratory assays involving the use of patient serum." This further supports its role in preparing specimens for in vitro diagnostic testing.
- Intended User / Care Setting: The intended user is "clinical laboratory testing in chemistry," which is a setting where IVD testing is performed.
The device is a specimen collection and preparation device that is an integral part of the IVD testing process. While it doesn't perform the diagnostic test itself, it provides the necessary specimen in a suitable format for subsequent in vitro diagnostic analysis.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Vacutainer™ PLUS SST™ Tube is a plastic evacuated blood collection tube with silica clot activator and gel that provides a means of collecting, transporting, separating, and processing blood in a closed tube. Blood collected in a Vacutainer™ PLUS SST™ Tube is primarily used for clinical laboratory testing in chemistry using patient serum, but may be used for other assays requiring serum specimens as determined by the laboratory. In addition, the Vacutainer™ PLUS SST™ Tube is compatible with many commonly used therapeutic drugs therefore suitable for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). Blood can be collected, processed and stored in a Vacutainer™ PLUS SST™ tube for at least 24 hours for therapeutic drug monitoring without large losses in recovery.

Device Description
The Vacutainer™ PLUS SST™ Tubes are sterile, plastic, evacuated blood collection tubes. The Vacutainer™ PLUS SST™ Tube consists of: (1) a closure assembly, (2) an inert polyester gel barrier, (3) silica clot activator, and (4) a silicone surfactant coated plastic tube. The specimen is centrifuged and the barrier material forms at the serum/blood clot interface, mechanically separating the serum from cells. The serum portion is used for clinical laboratory assays involving the use of patient serum.

Summary of Performance Studies
Clinical evaluations were performed to determine the safety and efficacy of the Vacutainer™ PLUS SST™ Tube. The results of the clinical evaluation demonstrated that blood can be collected, processed and stored in a Vacutainer™ PLUS SST™ tube for at least 24 hours for therapeutic drug monitoring without large losses in recovery. The storage conditions and time until analysis should be considered when collecting blood in Vacutainer™ PLUS SST™ tubes for TDM. This will ensure specimen integrity is maintained.
