More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use are purely mechanical and do not mention any computational or data-driven features. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No.
The device facilitates the infusion of IV fluids but does not directly cure, treat, or mitigate disease or injury, which are characteristics of therapeutic devices.

No
The Intended Use / Indications for Use section states the device "is indicated to facilitate the infusion of IV fluids... into the patient," which describes a therapeutic or delivery function, not a diagnostic one. Device Description further details it as an "extension set," also supporting a facilitative role for fluid delivery rather than diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is comprised of tubing, connectors, and a pinch clamp, which are physical hardware components.

Based on the provided information, the EZ-Connect device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "facilitate the infusion of IV fluids from a plastic bag or solution container into the patient." This describes a device used for delivering substances into the body, not for testing samples from the body to diagnose conditions.
  • Device Description: The description details components like tubing, luer lock connectors, a needleless connector, and a pinch clamp. These are all typical components of an IV administration set, not an IVD device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or functions related to:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment decisions based on sample analysis.

The EZ-Connect is clearly a device used for the delivery of fluids to a patient, which falls under the category of medical devices used for treatment or support, not in vitro diagnostics.

§ 880.5440 Intravascular administration set.

(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.

Dear Ms. Holland:

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 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
