No.
The device description states its purpose is to inject or withdraw fluids, which are diagnostic or procedural functions, not therapeutic. There is no mention of treating a disease or condition.
No
The device description and intended use state that the syringe is used to inject or withdraw fluids, which is a therapeutic or procedural action, not a diagnostic one. There is no mention of measurement, analysis, or interpretation aimed at identifying a medical condition.
No
The device description clearly describes a physical syringe with a barrel, plunger, and Luer Lock connector, indicating it is a hardware device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "inject fluids into or withdraw fluids from the body." This describes a direct interaction with the patient's body for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes in vivo (within the living organism).
- Device Description: The description details a syringe for injecting or withdrawing fluids, which is consistent with in vivo use.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the living organism) to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes.
IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the body. This syringe is designed to administer or remove substances directly from the body.
