No
The device description and intended use are for a simple mechanical syringe, with no mention of AI/ML or related technologies.

No.
Explanation: The device, a syringe, is used for injecting or withdrawing fluids, which are procedures, not therapies. The device itself does not provide a therapeutic effect.

No
The device is described as a syringe used to inject or withdraw fluids, which is a therapeutic or procedural function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it consists of a calibrated hollow barrel and a movable plunger, which are physical hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "inject fluids into, or withdraw fluids from, the body." This describes a direct interaction with the patient's body for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes within the body, not for testing samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a syringe with a barrel and plunger for fluid transfer, and a Luer connector for attaching needles or other devices. This is consistent with a device used for administering or collecting substances from a living organism.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of:
    • Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples
    • Providing information about a patient's health status based on sample analysis
    • Reagents or other components typically associated with IVD tests

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This syringe's function is purely mechanical for fluid handling within or from the body.

9. Substantial Equivalence/ Conformity with Standards

Similarities/ Differences of the proposed device when compared to 9.1 the predicate:

9.1.1 Intended Use

The Becton Dickinson (B-D) General Purpose syringes are intended for general purpose fluid aspiration/ injection. Merit Medical 1-mL Syringes are used to inject fluids into, or withdraw fluids from, the body. As such, the Intended Uses of the MMS and B-D syringes are equivalent.

9.1.2 Materials

Materials used in the manufacture of MMS syringes are typically used in the manufacture of general-purpose syringes, including the predicate device.

9.1.3 Design

The design of the MMS syringe is typical for syringes, including that of the predicate.

9.1.4 Operational Principles

The MMS syringe is manually operated by advancing and withdrawing the plunger in the barrel. The operating principles are identical for all manual syringes, including the predicate.

9.1.5 Technology

The same fundamental technology is used in the design of the MMS svringes as is employed in the design of all manual syringes, including the predicate.

9.1.6 Safety and Performance

MMS has provided a statement that its syringes will conform to the requirements of ISO 7886-1:1993, an FDA- recognized consensus standard, before marketing the devices. This statement and the data that will be collected to support conformance will be used to demonstrate safety and performance in lieu of demonstrating substantial equivalence with the predicate device.

Dear Ms. Erskine:

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.
