No
The summary describes a mechanical safety syringe with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No.
The device is used for aspirating and injecting fluids and includes a safety feature for needlestick protection, but its primary function is not therapeutic.

No
The device is described as a safety syringe used for aspirating and injecting fluid, with a built-in safety feature for needlestick protection. There is no mention of it being used to diagnose conditions or process diagnostic information.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a "syringe assembly and a needle assembly," which are physical hardware components. The performance study also involves the physical use of the syringe.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "general purpose use in aspirating and injecting fluid" and "needlestick protection." This describes a device used directly on or with a patient for therapeutic or protective purposes, not for testing samples in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical components of a syringe and a safety feature, consistent with a device used for administering or withdrawing substances from a living being.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples like blood, urine, or tissue to provide information about a person's health or condition. This syringe does not fit that description.

Dear Dr. Chang:

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.
