The document describes a mechanical safety syringe and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.
No.
The device is a safety syringe designed for injecting medication and preventing needlestick injuries, not for treating a disease or condition itself.
No
The entire description focuses on the function of the syringe for delivering medication, not for diagnosing any condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical syringe with a needle, which is a hardware medical device, not software.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD devices are used to examine specimens taken from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to get information about a person's health. They are used in vitro (outside the body).
- The CAREO Retractable Safety Syringe is used to inject medication into a patient. This is an in vivo (within the body) application.
- The intended use explicitly states it's for "intramuscular and subcutaneous injection of medication into a patient." This is a direct administration of a substance into the body, not the analysis of a sample taken from the body.
The description clearly indicates it's a device for administering medication, not for diagnostic testing of biological samples.

The syringe should not be used for blood collection.
The CAREO Retractable Safety Syringe aids in the prevention of needlestick injuries. In addition, when the user breaks the plunger, the CAREO Retractable Safety Syringe reduces the possibility of syringe reuse.
6. TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
Life-Shield Products, Inc., makes a claim of substantial equivalence of the CAREO Retractable Safety Syringe to the SECUREGARD® Retractable Safety Syringe (K012121) based on similarities in intended use, design, technological and operational characteristics. Both are indicated for injecting fluids into the body, while helping to reduce the risk of sharps injuries. Both syringes are piston syringes that use permanently attached single lumen hypodermic needles. Both syringes are provided sterile, single-use, and disposable. Both syringes require the user to manually retract the needle-plunger into the syringe barrel, break off the plunger rod, and discard the pieces.
7. TESTING
Testing provided in this premarket notification includes biocompatibility, packaging integrity, standards conformity, and simulated use testing. Side-by-side testing of the CAREO Retractable Safety Syringe and the SECUREGARD® Retractable Safety Syringe shows that the two products are equivalent. Simulated use testing using 500 syringes demonstrates that the CAREO Retractable Safety Syringe performs according to specification. Testing also supports the claimed Indications for Use.
