The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and safety features of a sharps disposal container, with no mention of AI or ML.
No.
The device is a container for the safe disposal of hazardous sharps, not for treating any medical condition or disease.
No
Explanation: The device is a container for the safe disposal of hazardous sharps and does not perform any diagnostic functions.
No
The device description clearly states it is an injection molded polypropylene plastic container, which is a physical hardware product, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the "safe disposal of hazardous sharps" in various healthcare settings. This is a waste management function, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples in vitro (outside the body).
- Device Description: The description details a container for collecting sharps waste. It does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological specimens.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical properties of the container (puncture resistance, leak resistance, impact, handle strength), which are relevant to its function as a waste disposal unit, not a diagnostic device.
- Predicate Device: The predicate device is also a "Sharps Collectors," further confirming the device's purpose is waste disposal.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such function.

Dear Mr. Rongero:
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.
