More Information

No
The document describes a physical sharps container and does not mention any software, data processing, or AI/ML terms.

No.
The device is a container for disposing of sharps waste, not for treating or diagnosing any medical condition.

No
The device is described as a "disposable infectious waste container" for sharps, designed for safe disposal of medical waste. Its intended use and description do not involve diagnosing any medical conditions or diseases.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "sharps container (disposable infectious waste container)" in various physical sizes (1 gallon, 2 gallon, 3 gallon), indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Sharps Container Function: The Sharps Compliance Container is designed for the safe disposal of used needles and other sharp medical waste. Its purpose is to prevent injuries and the spread of infection from contaminated sharps. It does not perform any diagnostic tests on patient samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's a "disposable infectious waste container" for the disposal of sharps. It doesn't mention any diagnostic purpose.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Sharps Compliance Container is a medical device, but it falls under the category of waste management or containment devices, not In Vitro Diagnostics.

Dear Mr. Aladwani:

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.
