Intended Use
The Safety Male Luer is intended to provide leak-free handling of potentially hazardous fluids, such as chemotherapy, radioactive isotopes, and blood products, during all three phases of drug handling when the SML is used in conjunction with the SmartSite® Needle Free Valve port: the preparation of the drug, the administration of the drug to the patient, and waste handling. The Safety Male Luer is intended to reduce environmental surface contamination of the work area. The Safety Male Luer is indicated for use when reconstituting, dispensing/ transferring, administering, and disposal of potentially hazardous fluids, such as chemotherapy, radioactive isotopes, and blood products, as well as non-hazardous fluids. The Safety Male Luer is intended for use with the SmartSite® Needle Free Valve port or standard open female luers.
Device Description
The SML is a sealed male luer. The SML is designed to promote safe handling of fluids and medications, particularly hazardous or cytotoxic drugs. Leakage of drug into the environments is effectively avoided during all phases of drug handling when the SML is used in conjunction with the SmartSite® Needle Free Valve port: the preparation of the drug, the administration of the drug to the patient, and waste handling. The SML is a passive device – it requires no cap and automatically seals upon disconnection. An optional female cap will be provided for transport and an optional priming cap will be provided to allow the user to prime as necessary. The Safety Male Luer (SML) is a unique male luer connector that is intended to be used with the currently marketed SmartSite® Needle Free Valve port and standard open female luers. The SML design includes an internal mechanism that causes the luer to seal when disconnected. In doing so, it prevents the dripping or accidental spillage of fluids that otherwise occur when using a standard, unsealed male luer. Thus, the SML is intended to provide leak-free handling of potentially hazardous fluids, such as chemotherapy, radioactive isotopes, and blood products. Furthermore, the SML reduces environmental surface contamination of the work surface when used to reconstitute, dispense/transfer, administer, and dispose of hazardous or non-hazardous fluids when used in conjunction with SmarSite® Needle-Free Valve port.

No
The device description explicitly states it is a "passive device" with an "internal mechanism" for sealing, and there is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the provided text.

No.
The device is designed for safe handling of fluids to prevent leakage and contamination during preparation, administration, and waste handling of substances like chemotherapy, not for direct therapeutic treatment of a patient's disease or condition.

No

The device is designed for safe handling and transfer of fluids, particularly hazardous ones, to prevent leakage and contamination. It does not perform any diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical, mechanical luer connector with an internal sealing mechanism, not a software product.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the device's function as providing leak-free handling of fluids (chemotherapy, radioactive isotopes, blood products, etc.) during drug preparation, administration, and waste handling. This is a function related to the handling and delivery of substances, not the examination of specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the mechanical design of the luer connector and its ability to seal upon disconnection to prevent leakage. This reinforces its role in fluid handling, not diagnostic testing.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring analytes
    • Providing diagnostic information
    • Using reagents or assays

The device is a medical device used in the context of patient care and drug handling, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

(a)
Identification. An intravascular administration set is a device used to administer fluids from a container to a patient's vascular system through a needle or catheter inserted into a vein. The device may include the needle or catheter, tubing, a flow regulator, a drip chamber, an infusion line filter, an I.V. set stopcock, fluid delivery tubing, connectors between parts of the set, a side tube with a cap to serve as an injection site, and a hollow spike to penetrate and connect the tubing to an I.V. bag or other infusion fluid container.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for pharmacy compounding systems within this classification is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Pharmacy Compounding Systems; Final Guidance for Industry and FDA Reviewers.” Pharmacy compounding systems classified within the intravascular administration set are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of this part and subject to the limitations in § 880.9.

The SML is a passive device – it requires no cap and automatically seals upon disconnection. An optional female cap will be provided for transport and an optional priming cap will be provided to allow the user to prime as necessary.

The Safety Male Luer (SML) is a unique male luer connector that is intended to be used with the currently marketed SmartSite® Needle Free Valve port and standard open female luers. The SML design includes an internal mechanism that causes the luer to seal when disconnected. In doing so, it prevents the dripping or accidental spillage of fluids that otherwise occur when using a standard, unsealed male luer. Thus, the SML is intended to provide leak-free handling of potentially hazardous fluids, such as chemotherapy, radioactive isotopes, and blood products.

Dear Ms. Lewis:

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 cnactment 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. Fxisting 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.
