Intended Use
The primary function of the NOVAguard™ Safety Needle is for the injection of fluids into or withdrawal of fluids from parts of the body below the surface of the skin. The needle stick prevention feature helps prevent accidental needle sticks by shielding the needle after use.
Device Description
NOV Aguard™ is a sharps injury protection device with a passively activated safety shield. The NOV Aguard™ product has a female luer connector, compatible with a luer-lock syringe, on one side and a stainless steel cannula on the other. A shield is mounted around the cannula. This product is packaged in a rigid container sealed by a Tyvek lid to facilitate sterilization. The product is removed from the package and connected to a luer-lock syringe simultaneously; this is accomplished when attaching the syringe, turning it in a clockwise direction. During this process, the shield is automatically moved to a position where the cannula tip is exposed so that the user can easily see it. An injection is given using the standard common technique. Inserting the cannula into the patient displaces the shield causing the shield legs to move apart and act like a spring. Upon removal, the spring force of the shield legs forces the shield over the tip of the cannula into a locked position. The NOV Aguard™ Safety Needle is an assembly of three components. A cannula, a hub and a safety shield.
More Information

No
The description focuses on mechanical features for needle safety and does not mention any AI/ML components or functions.

No.
The device's function is for the injection or withdrawal of fluids and to prevent accidental needle sticks; it does not directly treat or diagnose a disease or condition.

No

The device is described as a safety needle for injecting or withdrawing fluids, with a feature to prevent needle sticks. Its function is to facilitate medical procedures, not to diagnose conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a cannula, hub, and safety shield, indicating it is a hardware device with a safety feature, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "injection of fluids into or withdrawal of fluids from parts of the body below the surface of the skin." This describes a device used for direct interaction with the patient's body for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes in vivo, not for testing samples in vitro.
  • Device Description: The description details a needle with a safety shield designed for injection and withdrawal of fluids from the body. This aligns with a medical device used for patient care, not for laboratory testing of samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis. The function is purely mechanical for fluid transfer and safety.

Therefore, the NOVAguard™ Safety Needle is a medical device used for injections and fluid withdrawal, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
