No
The summary describes a blood collection tube, which is a passive device for sample collection and processing, with no mention of any computational or analytical capabilities that would involve AI/ML.

No
The device is used to collect, transport, and process blood for testing and therapeutic drug monitoring, not for providing therapy.

No
The device is used to collect, transport, and process blood samples for testing, but it does not perform the diagnostic testing itself. It is a sample collection and preparation device.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Blood Collection Tube," which is a physical hardware component used for collecting blood. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component of the device.

Based on the provided information, the device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the tubes are used to "collect, transport and process blood for testing serum in the clinical laboratory." This directly aligns with the definition of an IVD, which are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a "Blood Collection Tube," which is a common type of IVD accessory used in the process of obtaining samples for in vitro testing.
  • Intended User / Care Setting: The intended user is the "clinical laboratory," which is the typical setting where in vitro diagnostic testing is performed.

Therefore, the VACUETTE® Blood Collection Tubes with Clot Activator, Gel Separator, and Standard Stopper are considered IVDs because they are used in the collection and processing of human specimens for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Dear Ms. Smith:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of December 16, 2009.

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 Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. 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 Parts 801 and 809); and good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820).
