Intended Use
The MaxGuard Advanced Luer Activated Device with Antimicrobial Technology is a sterile single use positive displacement connector for needleless access to the IV line and/or IV catheter during IV therapy. The MaxGuard Connector can be used for direct injection, intermittent infusion, continuous infusion or aspiration. The MaxGuard with Antimicrobial Technology may inhibit the growth of microorganisms on the surfaces of the MaxGuard device. The antimicrobial agent is intended to reduce the possibility that the device may become microbially contaminated. The antimicrobial agent is not intended to be used as a treatment for existing infections. The MaxGuard with Antimicrobial Technology has been shown to provide a 4+ log reduction of the following organisms: Staphylococcus aureus, ATCC 6558 Staphylococcus epidermidis. ATCC 12228 Escherichia coli, ATCC 8739 Enterococcus faecalis, ATCC 51299 Pseudomonas aeruginosa, ATCC 9027 Klebsiella pneumonia. ATCC 4352 Candida albicans, ATCC 10231

No
The summary describes a physical medical device (a luer activated connector) with antimicrobial properties, and there is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would suggest the use of such technologies.

No
The device is described as a connector for IV lines and catheters that may inhibit the growth of microorganisms on its surfaces to reduce contamination, but it is explicitly stated that "The antimicrobial agent is not intended to be used as a treatment for existing infections." This indicates it's a preventative measure, not a device used to treat a disease or condition.

No

The device is described as a luer-activated connector for IV lines, used for fluid delivery and aspiration, with antimicrobial technology to prevent contamination. Its function is not to diagnose conditions but to facilitate IV therapy and inhibit microbial growth on its surface.

No

The device is described as a "sterile single use positive displacement connector" and mentions an "antimicrobial agent," indicating it is a physical hardware device with a chemical component, not software.

Based on the provided information, the MaxGuard Advanced Luer Activated Device with Antimicrobial Technology is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the device as a connector for accessing the IV line and/or IV catheter during IV therapy. This is a device used in vivo (within the body) for administering or aspirating fluids.
  • Antimicrobial Technology: While the device has antimicrobial properties, this is to inhibit microbial growth on the device surfaces to reduce contamination risk during its use in IV therapy. It's not used to diagnose a condition by testing a sample in vitro.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the device's ability to reduce microbial growth on its surfaces, not on its ability to detect or measure substances in a biological sample.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The MaxGuard device does not fit this description.

§ 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 Mr. Job:

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.
