The device is described as a "sharps management system" for needle encapsulation, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical sharps management system that encapsulates needles, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is described as a "sharps management system that fully encapsulates the needle of a luce-look syringe." This is a physical device designed to prevent needlestick injuries after a syringe has been used.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces its function as a physical containment system for used needles and syringes.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Purpose: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of disease or impairment. IVDs are used to perform tests on biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to gain diagnostic information.

The Needle Guard is a safety device for handling contaminated sharps, not a diagnostic tool.
