Intended Use
The container is intended for use by healthcare providers, such as hospitals, laboratories, medical clinics, veterinary clinics and other facilities where needles are generated. The container is designed to safely contain sharps prior to removal from the generating facility, during transportation and until ultimate treatment and disposal of the sharps.
Device Description
The Enviro Sharp Solutions 3 is a reusable plastic sharps disposal container. It features a mail drop, torturous path tumbler lid for safe and easy disposal of sharps. Simply deposit syringes horizontally into the opening of the lid, and they are deposited automatically into the container. When the container is full, the tumbler will indicate that it is time to replace the unit. Just insert the locking tabs to secure the container in a closed position and replace it with a clean sanitized unit. Using our proprietary equipment, Sci-Med Waste employees will empty and sanitize the unit and return it to the facility to use for the next switch out. The durable high-density polyethylene construction of the Enviro Sharp Solutions 3 makes it leakproof, puncture resistant and stable. It meets or exceeds all OSHA recommendations for sharps containers, and because it is reusable, it is more environmentally friendly and less expensive than disposable alternatives.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the mechanical features and material properties of a reusable sharps disposal container, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device is a sharps disposal container designed to safely contain contaminated sharps, not to treat a medical condition or perform a therapeutic function on a patient.

No

This device is a container designed for the safe disposal of sharps, not for diagnosing medical conditions. Its function is containment and safety, not diagnostic assessment.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "reusable plastic sharps disposal container" and details its physical features and construction, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to safely contain sharps waste generated by healthcare providers. This is a waste management function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device is a container for sharps disposal. It does not perform any tests on biological samples or provide diagnostic information.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting analytes, or providing any kind of diagnostic result.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical integrity and safety features of the container (puncture resistance, leak resistance, etc.), which are relevant to its function as a sharps container, not a diagnostic device.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.
