Device Description
ANTHOGYR has developed cartridge syringes which are substantially equivalent to legally marketed and FDA cleared predicate devices. Intraligamental syringes ERGOJECT and MINIJECT are syringes for every kind of anesthesia, especially intraligamental and intraseptal that requires high pressure. ANTHOGYR intraligamental syringes feature an ergonomic handle constructed of thermoplastic resin and have a leverage factor of three (ERGOJECT) or five (MINIJECT) to make it easier to use and an anti-reverse, non-ratcheting mechanism that prevents the plunger from slipping during injection. Aspirating dental cartridge syringes ANTHOGYR developed a full range of dental cartridge syringes including: Self aspirating syringe (ISO 9997 Type 2b - Aspiration under the effect of strength produced by the bending of a diaphragm in the cartridge), Aspirating syringe (ISO 9997 Type 2a -Aspiration under the effect of strength produced by the receding of the button in relation to the needle) and dental syringes without aspiration (ISO 9997 Type 1).
More Information

No
The device description focuses on mechanical features and compliance with standards, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device is strictly for injecting anesthetic solutions and does not directly treat or prevent a medical condition.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a syringe intended to inject anesthetic solutions. Its function is to deliver a substance, not to analyze or identify a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly describes physical hardware components (syringes, handles, plungers, mechanisms) and their mechanical functions, with no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "inject anesthetic solutions in the oral cavity." This is a direct medical intervention on a patient, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details syringes used for injecting substances into the body. This aligns with a medical device used for treatment or intervention, not a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting markers, or providing diagnostic information.

IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device clearly operates in vivo (within the body).

§ 872.6770 Cartridge syringe.

(a)
Identification. A cartridge syringe is a device intended to inject anesthetic agents subcutaneously or intramuscularly. The device consists of a metal syringe body into which a disposable, previously filled, glass carpule (a cylindrical cartridge) containing anesthetic is placed. After attaching a needle to the syringe body and activating the carpule by partially inserting the plunger on the syringe, the device is used to administer an injection to the patient.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 872.9.

Dear Mr. Geneve:

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 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.

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 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115.
