Intended Use
This device is a safety hypodermic syringe for intramuscular and subcutaneous injection of medication to patients. This device aids in prevention of needlestick injuries. EO sterilized, non-pyrogenic, and latex free.
Device Description
The OMI Retractable Safety Syringe works like this: STEP 1 After cap removal, fluid draw-up and aspiration is unchanged from conventional syringes. STEP 2 As the plunger rod is depressed and the plunger stopper makes contact with the needle hub, the elastic membrane conforms to the conical shape of the needle hub. The plunger stopper membrane stretches until the plunger rod is fully depressed and maximum fluid is expelled from the svringe. STEP 3 At the point of full plunger rod depression, the application of the injection force overcomes the strength of the web joining the inner and outer portions of the needle hub. As this web fractures and the outer portion of the needle hub moves forward, the plunger stopper membrane is simultaneously pierced by the conical end of the hub, releasing the inner portion of the hub carrying the needle to be retracted into the hollow stem of the plunger rod by the coiled spring. The activation force is controlled. The extra pressure required at the end of the injection stroke to retract the needle is minimal. The entire procedure designed for singlehanded use, with no change to common habits. STEP 4 The fracturing of the needle hub and the piercing of the plunger stopper allow the needle to be forced into the plunger rod by the coiled spring. The speed of this retraction and the minimal dead space avoids blood or fluid spatter. Retraction is accompanied by an audible "click" and the highly visible separation of the needle hub. The syringe is EO sterilized, non-pyrogenic, and latex free.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description details a purely mechanical mechanism for needle retraction, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No
The device is a safety syringe designed to prevent needlestick injuries during medication injection, not to provide a therapeutic effect itself.

No

Explanation: The device is a safety hypodermic syringe for injecting medication and preventing needlestick injuries, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly details a physical hypodermic syringe with mechanical components for needle retraction, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "intramuscular and subcutaneous injection of medication to patients." This is a therapeutic and preventative use (preventing needlestick injuries), not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details the mechanism for injecting medication and retracting the needle. There is no mention of analyzing samples from the body (like blood, urine, etc.) to diagnose a condition.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not perform any such analysis.

The device is a safety hypodermic syringe, which is a medical device used for administering substances into the body.

§ 880.5860 Piston syringe.

(a)
Identification. A piston syringe is a device intended for medical purposes that consists of a calibrated hollow barrel and a movable plunger. At one end of the barrel there is a male connector (nozzle) for fitting the female connector (hub) of a hypodermic single lumen needle. The device is used to inject fluids into, or withdraw fluids from, the body.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Dear Mr. Kamm:

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.

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. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 8010 tartoon. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
