Intended Use
Intended for use with a vascular access device for the administration of drugs and solutions. The CLEARLINK Antimicrobial Luer Activated Device is an in-line injection site which can be connected to standard male Luer adapters (e.g., syringes or sets) for the continuous or intermittent fluid administration or the withdrawal of fluids. The CLEARLINK Antimicrobial Luer Activated Device contains an antimicrobial agent (metallic silver) that may inhibit the growth of microorganisms on the coated surfaces of the CLEARLINK device. The antimicrobial agent is intended to reduce the possibility that the device may become microbially contaminated. The antimicrobial agent is not intended to be used as a treatment for existing infections.
Device Description
The CLEARLINK Antimicrobial Luer Activated Device consists of a clear housing encasing a gland and center post. The gland functions as the valve that provides a seal against the syringefluer connector when the device is being used. The gland has a slit that opens when activated by the syringe/luer connector. The gland also provides a surface that can be easily swabbed with antiscptic before each connection. The hard surfaces of the CLEARLINK Antimicrobial Luer Activated Device are coated with a proprietary silver technology that may destroy or inhibit the growth of microorganisms on the coated surfaces of the CLEARLINK device. The antimicrobial agent is intended to reduce the possibility that the device may become microbially compromised.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the mechanical function and antimicrobial coating of a luer activated device, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No.
The device's intended use is for the administration of drugs and solutions and to inhibit microbial growth on its surfaces, not to treat or cure a disease or condition.

No

The device is intended for the administration or withdrawal of fluids and contains an antimicrobial agent to inhibit microbial growth on its surfaces. It does not perform any diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (housing, gland, center post) and a physical coating (silver technology), indicating it is a hardware device with an antimicrobial feature, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the administration and withdrawal of fluids in conjunction with a vascular access device. This is a therapeutic and procedural use, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the mechanical function of the valve and the antimicrobial coating. It does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples for diagnostic purposes.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Language: The text does not use any language typically associated with IVDs, such as "analyte," "sample," "detection," "measurement," "diagnosis," or "screening."
  • Antimicrobial Function: The antimicrobial agent is intended to prevent microbial contamination of the device itself, not to diagnose an infection in a patient.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This device does not perform such a function.
