The description focuses on mechanical design changes and safety features, with no mention of AI or ML.
No
The device is described as a blood access device for blood purification and other treatments requiring an extracorporeal circuit, as well as for preventing needle stick injuries. While it facilitates medical treatments, its primary function is access and safety, not direct therapeutic intervention or treatment of disease.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a "blood access device for blood purification and for other treatments requiring an extracorporeal circuit or larger volumes of blood," and a "sharps safety feature requiring physical action by the clinician to aid in the prevention of accidental needle stick injuries." These functions do not involve diagnosing a medical condition.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical medical device (fistula needle) with hardware components and a mechanical safety feature. There is no mention of software as a component or the primary function of the device.
Based on the provided text, the Nipro® SafeTouch Safety Fistula Needle is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is described as a "blood access device for blood purification and for other treatments requiring an extracorporeal circuit or larger volumes of blood." This describes a device used on the patient for treatment, not a device used to test samples from the patient in a laboratory setting.
- Device Description: The description details a needle and tubing system for accessing blood vessels, consistent with a device used for direct patient care. It also mentions a safety feature for preventing needle stick injuries, which is relevant to the clinical use of the device.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD device, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Providing diagnostic information
- Using reagents or assays
- Being used in a laboratory setting
The device is clearly intended for direct clinical use on a patient for therapeutic purposes (blood purification, etc.), not for diagnostic testing of samples.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Nipro® SafeTouch Safety Fistula Needle is intended for use as a blood access device for blood purification and for other treatments requiring an extracorporeal circuit or larger volumes of blood. Secondly, it is designed with an active sharp safety feature requiring physical action by the clinician to aid in the prevention of accidental needle stick injuries.
The Nipro® SafeTouch Safety Fistula Needles is intended for use as a blood access device for blood purification and for other treatments requiring extracorporeal circuit. The Nipro SafeTouch Safety Fistula Needle aids in the prevention of accidental needle stick injuries. The compatibility of available configurations is the responsibility of the physician in charge.

Device Description
This 510(k) Summary of Safety and Effectiveness is being submitted in accordance with the requirements for the Safe Medical Device Act (SMDA) 1990.
The Nipro® SafeTouch Safety Fistula Needle includes arterial and venous fistula adapter consisting of flexible tube and needle with an active sharps safety feature (non-implanted blood access device) as described in 21 CFR 876.5540. The Nipro® SafeTouch Safety Fistula Needle was previously described in detail as part of Premarket Notification cleared by FDA under K002813 on November 21, 2000.
The fistula needle included in this 510(k) is modified to include a change in material of the Safety AVF hub from ABS to PMMA compounds consisting of Methyl Methacrylate Polymer and Butadiene Polymer and a change in the shape of the Safety AVF stopper to enhance the activation of the safety mechanism.
The sharps injury prevention system is connected between winged needle and polyvinyl chloride tubing and consists of three parts, the Safety Hub, Safety Stopper and Safety Protector. The needle is attached to the Safety Hub and is connected to the Safety Stopper. The Safety Protector then covers the Safety Hub.
The safety feature is easily operated through the release of a latch mechanism whereby the user slides a winged cover over the needle, as it is removed from the patient. Once the needle is covered, the safety cover latches into place. The safety feature presented in this document represents a substantially equivalent version of the current brand, which previously cleared FDA in K002813.
The Nipro® SafeTouch Safety Fistula Needle includes 2 basic types of design with clamps which remain the same: fixed wing type (stationary) and turnable wing type (rotating) which is offered in 96 configurations with options within it to include needle gauge, needle length, type of needle, and tubing length availability. A table with all the device configurations is included in Section 3 of this report.
The devices are packaged sterile and are labeled for single use only. There is no ability to clean and reuse these devices. They are restricted for sale by or on the order of a physician. The results of biocompatibility data support the equivalence of the predicate device and include sterility safety, pyrogenicity, intracutaneous reactivity, systemic iniection, hemolysis, implantation testing. Please refer to Tab 9 of the Biocompatibility Section.

Dear Mr. Bliss:
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 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.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
