Intended Use
The Saf-T-Syringe's primary intended use is to provide a safe, accurate and reliable method of injecting medication into a patient. The syringe is available in a 3cc, 5cc and 10cc with various needle sizes. The needle automatically withdraws and prevents accidental needle sticks. 3cc, 5cc, and 10cc Syringes are available for: Prescription Use
Device Description
The Saf-T-Syringe is a 3cc, 5cc, and 10cc, sterile, non-toxic, non-pyrogenic, disposable, one-hand operated, passively activated, automatic retraction, plunger type, Anti-Stick syringe with a unique, dedicated luer-lock hypodermic needle, as detailed within this submission and in relevant patents. The syringe includes an interchangeable needle; 18 gauge to 25 gauge and lengths of 5/8", 1" and 1-1/2". The primary intended use of the device is to administer safe and accurate subcutaneous and intramuscular injections. Its secondary intended use is to retract and contain the contaminated needle after injection which renders the syringe inoperable for reuse, while not introducing any additional steps to the one-handed operating method, for the purpose of aiding in the prevention of accidental needle stick injuries.

No
The description focuses on the mechanical features of the syringe for needle retraction and safety, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
A therapeutic device is one that treats or heals a disease or condition. This device is a syringe designed for the safe administration of medication, not for treating a condition itself. Its primary function is a delivery mechanism, not a therapeutic intervention.

No
Explanation: The device is a syringe designed for administering medication and preventing needle stick injuries, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical syringe with various hardware components (plunger, needle, luer-lock, etc.) and does not mention any software component.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Saf-T-Syringe Intended Use: The Saf-T-Syringe's intended use is clearly stated as "to provide a safe, accurate and reliable method of injecting medication into a patient" and "to administer safe and accurate subcutaneous and intramuscular injections." This involves introducing substances into the body (in vivo).
  • No Specimen Testing: The description does not mention any testing of specimens or analysis of biological samples.

The Saf-T-Syringe is a medical device used for administering medication, not for diagnostic testing of samples.
