Intended Use
Intended for use with a vascular access device for the administration of drugs and solutions. The V-Link 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 V-Link Antimicrobial Luer Activated Device contains an antimicrobial agent (metallic silver) that may reduce the growth of microorganisms on the coated surfaces of the V-Link device. The antimicrobial agent is not intended to be used as a treatment for existing infections.
Device Description
The V-Link 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 syringe/luer 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 antiseptic before each connection. The hard surfaces of the V-Link Antimicrobial Luer Activated Device are coated with a proprietary silver technology that may reduce the growth of microorganisms on the coated surfaces of the V-Link device.

No
The summary describes a mechanical luer-activated device with an antimicrobial coating. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any software-driven functionality that would suggest the use of these technologies.

No
The device is used for the administration of drugs and solutions, and to reduce microbial growth on its surface, not to treat a disease or medical condition.

No

The device is an in-line injection site for administering drugs and solutions, designed to prevent microbial growth on its surfaces, not to diagnose diseases or conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (housing, gland, center post) and a physical coating (silver technology). It is a hardware device with an antimicrobial feature.

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 direct interaction with the patient's circulatory system for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes in vivo, not for examining specimens in vitro.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the mechanical function of the valve and the antimicrobial coating on the device surfaces. It does not describe any components or processes related to analyzing biological specimens outside of the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: 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 information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions based on in vitro analysis.

The antimicrobial aspect is related to reducing microbial growth on the device itself, not for diagnosing or treating infections through in vitro testing.

§ 880.5440 Intravascular administration set.

(a)
Identification. An intravascular administration set is a device used to administer fluids from a container to a patient's vascular system through a needle or catheter inserted into a vein. The device may include the needle or catheter, tubing, a flow regulator, a drip chamber, an infusion line filter, an I.V. set stopcock, fluid delivery tubing, connectors between parts of the set, a side tube with a cap to serve as an injection site, and a hollow spike to penetrate and connect the tubing to an I.V. bag or other infusion fluid container.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for pharmacy compounding systems within this classification is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Pharmacy Compounding Systems; Final Guidance for Industry and FDA Reviewers.” Pharmacy compounding systems classified within the intravascular administration set are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of this part and subject to the limitations in § 880.9.

Dear Ms. Hedden:

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.

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 (OS) 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.
