No
The device description and intended use clearly indicate a simple, sterile solution and syringe for balloon inflation, with no mention of any computational or analytical capabilities that would involve AI or ML.

No
The device is described as syringes containing sterile water and sodium chloride for balloon inflation, and it explicitly states, "Devices are not intended for wound irrigation, injection or IV Administration." This indicates it is for a procedural function (inflation) rather than for treating or curing a disease or condition.

No
The device, VitalCare Sterile Water and 0.9% Sodium Chloride in syringes, is described as being used for "balloon inflation." This function is not related to diagnosing a condition or disease but rather to a procedural or therapeutic step.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical product consisting of pre-filled syringes containing sterile water and saline solution, manufactured from polypropylene. It is not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is clearly stated as "used for balloon inflation." This is a direct application within the body (in vivo) for a medical procedure, not for testing samples taken from the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the composition of the sterile water and saline solution and the materials of the syringe. It does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Testing of biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detection or measurement of analytes
    • Diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions based on sample analysis.

Therefore, the VitalCare Sterile Water and 0.9% Sodium Chloride syringes, as described, are medical devices intended for in vivo use, not in vitro diagnostic testing.

Dear Mr. Mcavenia:

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 vour 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.
