The description focuses on the physical characteristics and materials of standard medical needles and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.
No.
The device (spinal, pencil point, and epidural needles) is used for the "transient delivery of anesthetics," which is an intervention, but not a therapy itself. It facilitates a therapeutic procedure (regional anesthesia) or catheter placement.
No
The device is described as an instrument for delivering anesthetics or facilitating epidural catheter placement, not for making a diagnosis.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components like plastic/K-Resin hubs, stainless steel cannulas, and stylets, indicating it is a hardware medical device, not software-only.
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 transient delivery of anesthetics to provide regional anesthesia or to facilitate placement of an epidural catheter." This describes a procedure performed directly on a patient for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes within the body.
- Device Description: The device is a needle designed for injection into the body.
- 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, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.
IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is clearly intended for in vivo (within the body) use.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
Specialty needles (Spinal Needle, Pencil Point Needle, and Epidural Needle) are intended for the transient delivery of anesthetics to provide regional anesthesia or to facilitate placement of an epidural catheter.

Device Description
Anesthesia conduction needles consist of different styles. All the needles consist of a plastic or K-Resin hub connected to a stainless steel cannula. Some of the needles have stylets made of the same steel whereas others have stylets made of plastic. Some of the needles have wings, which can be attached to the hub for more stability depending on user procedure. The needles have been categorized as following:
- Spinal Needles (Quincke)
- Pencil Point Spinal Needle (Whitacre)
- Epidural Needles (Tuohy & Hustead)
The differences between the styles of needles are the tip of the needle, which is pencilpoint-tip (Whitacre), curved and sharp needle (Toulty) or sharp needle tin (Quincke)
Needle Style: Spinal Needle (Quinke), Gage Size Range: 18g to 27g, Length Range: 1 ½" to 6"
Needle Style: Pencil Point Spinal Neede (Whitacre), Gage Size Range: 18g to 27g, Length Range: 1 ½" to 6"
Needle Style: Epidural Needle (Tuohy, & Hustead), Gage Size Range: 16g to 25g, Length Range: 1 ½" to 6"
These needles will be provided as sterile, single use, disposable devices. They will be packaged individually or included in regional anesthesia trays.

Dear Mr. Ansari:
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.

Page 2 -Mr. Ansari
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0120. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
