No
The summary describes a simple disinfecting cap with isopropyl alcohol, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
A therapeutic device is one that treats or alleviates a disease or condition. The SwabCap™ is a disinfecting cleaner and physical barrier for luer access valves, which serves a preventative rather than a therapeutic function.

No
The device is a disinfecting cleaner and physical barrier, not a tool for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical cap containing isopropyl alcohol, indicating it is a hardware device with a chemical component, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the SwabCap™ is for disinfecting and acting as a physical barrier on luer access valves prior to line access. This is a direct interaction with a medical device (the valve) and the patient's access point, not for testing samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical design of the cap and the presence of isopropyl alcohol for disinfection. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The provided information does not include any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status
    • Mentioning assays, reagents, or laboratory procedures

The SwabCap™ is a medical device used for infection control and maintaining the sterility of a patient's intravenous access point. It falls under the category of devices used in patient care, not for laboratory 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 Roshana Ahmed:

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is sending this letter to notify you of an administrative change related to your previous substantial equivalence (SE) determination letter dated April 28, 2009 and the correction letter dated March 6, 2019. Specifically, FDA is updating this SE Letter because FDA has better categorized your device technology under regulation 880.5440.

Please note that the 510(k) submission was not re-reviewed. For questions regarding this letter please contact Payal Patel, OHT3: Office of GastroRenal, Ob-Gyn, General Hospital and Urology Devices, 240-402-6029, Payal.Patel(@fda.hhs.gov.

Re: K083508 Trade/Device Name: SwabCapTM Regulatory Class: Unclassified Product Code: QBP Dated: November 24, 2008 Received: November 26, 2008

Dear Roshana Ahmed:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of April 28, 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 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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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
