No
The summary describes a blood collection system and its performance in molecular diagnostic assays, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is used for the collection and processing of blood for diagnostic testing, not for therapeutic intervention.

No
The device is used for the collection, transport, and processing of blood for testing, including in molecular diagnostics. It is a sample collection and preparation device, not a diagnostic device itself.

No

The device description clearly states it is a system of tubes, holders, and needles for blood collection, which are physical hardware components.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the VACUETTE® system is used for the collection of venous blood for testing in the clinical laboratory, and specifically mentions the use of VACUETTE® EDTA K3 Tubes for testing plasma and whole blood in molecular diagnostics. This aligns with the definition of an IVD, which is a device intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body for the purpose of providing information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces the intended use by stating the tubes are used to "collect, transport and process blood for testing serum, plasma or whole blood in the clinical laboratory."
  • Performance Studies: The document describes performance studies comparing the device to predicate devices for use in molecular diagnostic (nucleic acid PCR) assays, which are IVD tests.
  • Predicate Devices: The predicate devices listed are also IVD devices (blood collection tubes used for testing).

While the document doesn't explicitly use the term "IVD" in the intended use statement, the function and purpose of the device as described clearly fall under the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

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

Studies were conducted to demonstrate substantial equivalence of the Greiner Studies were conducted to demonet. Becton Dickinson (BD) Vacutainer® Brand PPT™ Plasma Preparation Tube and Glass K3 EDTA Tube when samples from these tubes are used in molecular diagnostic (nucleic acid PCR) assays.

The conclusion from the studies were that the HIV-1 and HCV PCR results from the The contractly healthy blood donors' and patients' samples collected in the Greiner and BD tubes were substantially equivalent.

Dear Ms. Judi Smith:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of April 15, 2005.

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
