Device Description
The Clip-On Spacer is designed to clip around the plunger rod of the Rebit® pre-filled syringe. It is held in place using a hook-hole closure which resists opening, once closed, under axial compression of 28N. When the plunger rod is depressed into the syringe barrel, the Clip-On Spacer limits the volume of solution delivered from the syringe to within ± 1.5% of the syringe volume (1 mL) ± 2% of the expelled volume according to EN ISO 7886-1:1997 "Sterile hypodermic syringes for single use -- Part 1: Syringes for manual use"..

The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical properties and volume delivery accuracy, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device is described as an accessory for a prefilled syringe, designed to aid in the accurate delivery of a prescribed volume of medication, not to directly treat or diagnose a disease or condition.

No

Explanation: The device is a 'Clip-On Spacer' designed to help administer a specific volume of medication from a pre-filled syringe. Its function is to limit the volume of solution delivered, not to diagnose a condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical "Clip-On Spacer" that clips around a syringe plunger rod and is held in place with a hook-hole closure. This describes a hardware component, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The Clip-On Spacer is described as a mechanical accessory designed to limit the volume of medication delivered from a pre-filled syringe. It physically interacts with the syringe plunger rod.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Testing: The description focuses on the mechanical function of controlling volume delivery and does not mention any testing of biological samples or providing diagnostic information.

The device is a delivery aid for a therapeutic product, not a diagnostic tool.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The Clip-On Spacer is intended only for use with pre-filled syringes containing 22 mcg/0.5 mL or 44 mcg/0.5 mL of Rebit®, during the titration stage of treatment. The spacer clips onto the plunger of the syringe so that the distance which the plunger inserts into the barrel when depressed is controlled.

Instructions for use are provided with the Rebit® pre-filled syringe for manual titration with the syringe. These instructions cover all aspects of the treatment regime and are not affected by use of the Clip-On Spacer. The Clip-On Spacer is simply an accessory provided to assist the user in injecting a portion of the Rebit® pre-filled syringe. The use of the Clip-On Spacer during injection of Rebit® in no way affects the treatment regime approved by FDA under BLA STN BL 103780/0.

The Clip-On Spacer is designed for use with Rebit® prefilled syringes containing The Clip-On Spacer is designed for use with Rebile pro mode of may and therapy.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The Clip-On Spacer has been tested for volume delivery accuracy, force and drop testing and risk analysis. The accuracy of volume delivered was within ±1.5% of the syringe volume (1 mL) and ±2% of the expelled volume in accordance with EN ISO 7886-1;1997. The Clip-On Spacer is able to bear axial compression of 28N (14N x 2) without deforming or opening the hook-hole closure. The rigidity of the Clip-On Spacer and the sturdiness of the closing system are strong enough to take a fall of 1 meter on a hard ground without any impact on the safety of the closing system. The results of a risk analysis performed according to ISO/EN 1441 indicated that there is no risk inherent in using the Clip-On Spacer and there are no additional hazards induced with the injection of Rebit® with the spacers compared to manual titration.

Key Metrics (Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV, etc.)

The accuracy of volume delivered was within ±1.5% of the syringe volume (1 mL) and ±2% of the expelled volume.
The Clip-On Spacer is able to bear axial compression of 28N (14N x 2).
