Intended Use
The Surguard™ Safety Syringe is a device intended for the manual aspiration of fluids, and for the injection of fluids into parts of the body below the surface of the skin. The syringe will also be used to withdraw medication from vials. This device is intended for insulin, allergy, or general use injections. Additionally, after withdrawing the needle from the patient, the safety feature can be manually activated to cover the needle to minimize the risk of accidental needlestick.
Device Description
The Surguard Safety Syringe consists of a graduated hypodermic syringe barrel with a permanently affixed needle (also called cannula) and an integrated safety feature component, which is permanently attached at the top of the syringe barrel close to the needle. The safety feature component can swivel to allow users additional flexibility in positioning the syringe and bevel for use. The locking mechanisms are located within the body of the sheath and at the collar that attaches to the top of the syringe barrel. The syringe portion is the same as Terumo's Insulin and Terumo's Allergy/General Syringe that are the subject of K882083 and K980796 respectively. No changes were made to the syringes other than a minor modification to outside of the barrel to allow for secure attachment of the safety feature. The syringe is a device intended to inject fluids into, or withdraw fluids from, parts of the body below the surface of the skin. The syringe will also be used to withdraw medication from vials. The syringe barrel will be graduated in insulin units for use with insulin or in cc/ml units for allergy or general use. The allergy/ general use syringe is offered with an intradermal bevel for intradermal injections and a regular bevel typically used for subcutaneous injections. The general use syringe has a regular bevel, which can be used for common injections such as intradermal, intramuscular, or subcutaneous. The insulin syringe will contain orange-colored needle cap and the allergy/general use syringe will contain a noncolored (white) cap. The safety sheath is activated after syringe use and prior to disposal to minimize the possibility of sharps injury. The safety sheath is activated with a one-handed operation by pressing the sheath against a firm surface, thereby engaging the needle into the sheath. The user will visually confirm the needle is locked beneath the locking tab.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical features and physical properties, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device is used for the administration of therapeutic agents (insulin, allergy medication) but is not itself a therapeutic device as it does not directly treat a condition. It is a delivery mechanism.

No

The device is described as a syringe for the aspiration and injection of fluids, and for withdrawing medication. Its purpose is to deliver or remove substances from the body, not to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical syringe with a needle and a safety feature, indicating it is a hardware device. The performance studies also focus on physical characteristics like force and integrity.

Based on the provided text, the Surguard™ Safety Syringe is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for the manual aspiration and injection of fluids into parts of the body below the surface of the skin, and for withdrawing medication from vials. This involves direct interaction with the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a hypodermic syringe with a needle and a safety feature. This is a device designed for delivering or withdrawing substances from a living organism.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The description of the Surguard Safety Syringe does not mention any such use or interaction with patient specimens outside the body.

Therefore, the Surguard™ Safety Syringe is a medical device intended for in-vivo use (within the body), not an in-vitro diagnostic device.
