More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical safety syringe and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

No
The device is a safety syringe used for administering medication, not for providing therapy or treatment itself.

No
The device is described as a safety syringe for intramuscular and subcutaneous injection of medication, and for preventing needlestick injuries and reuse. There is no mention of it diagnosing any condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical syringe with a needle, intended for injection. It is a hardware device.

Based on the provided text, the CAREO Safety Syringe 1cc/mL is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "intramuscular and subcutaneous injection of medication into a patient." This is an in vivo (within a living organism) application, not an in vitro (outside of a living organism, typically in a lab) diagnostic test.
  • Device Description: The description details a syringe with a needle, designed for delivering substances into the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing samples (like blood, urine, etc.) or providing diagnostic information.

Therefore, the device is intended for therapeutic delivery, not for in vitro diagnostic purposes.
