Intended Use
This device is intended for injection or aspiration of fluids using a Luer lock or Luer slip syringe. The needle protection device covers the needle after use to help prevent needle sticks. The EDGE™ safety device may be removed from the syringe when required by a specific medical procedure.
Device Description
This device is intended for injection or aspiration of fluids. The needle protection device covers the needle after use to help prevent needle sticks. The device features a "one-piece" design of needle hub and protective sheath with a living hinge. The needle cannula is permanently affixed into the hub. The sheath has an "arrow" indicating the bevel orientation, i.e. when the sheath is oriented to the right, the bevel is in the "up position". After the procedure is completed, the needle is pressed into the sheath using a one-handed technique. As the needle enters the protective sheath, the lugs on the needle hub snap into the clips of the protective sheath resulting in a "bottom snap" and the needle is contained within the sheath. In addition to the "bottom snap", the needle protection sheath for needles equal to or less than 1" has one needle retaining hook (except 30g) and the sheath for needles longer than 1" has two hooks. The EDGE™ safety device may be removed from the syringe when required by a specific medical procedure. An example is removal of the EDGE™ safety device from a blood sampling syringe. The EDGE™ safety device is then discarded into a sharps container.

No
The description focuses on mechanical features for needle safety and does not mention any computational or data-driven processes indicative of AI/ML.

No.
The device is described as a needle for injection or aspiration of fluids, designed with a safety feature to prevent needle sticks. It does not exert any therapeutic effect on the body but rather is a tool for administering treatment (via fluid injection) or collecting samples (via fluid aspiration).

No

The device is described as being for "injection or aspiration of fluids" and is a "needle protection device" to prevent needle sticks. It does not measure, analyze, or interpret any biological, physical, or chemical parameters to provide diagnostic information.

No

The device description clearly details a physical needle protection device with a "one-piece" design, needle hub, protective sheath, living hinge, and mechanisms for securing the needle. This is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "injection or aspiration of fluids using a Luer lock or Luer slip syringe." This describes a device used for administering or withdrawing substances from the body, not for testing samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the mechanical aspects of the needle and its safety features for preventing needle sticks. It does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring specific analytes
    • Providing diagnostic information
    • Reagents or test strips

The device is clearly a hypodermic needle with a safety mechanism, designed for use in medical procedures involving fluid transfer.
