More Information

No
The device description and intended use describe a mechanical syringe for anesthetic injection, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No.
A therapeutic device is one that treats a disease or condition. This device is used to inject anesthetic solutions, which aids in a medical procedure but does not directly treat a condition itself.

No

This device is used for injecting anesthetic solutions, which is a treatment or delivery function, not a diagnostic one. It does not identify or detect a disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is made of physical materials like chrome-plated brass, stainless steel, and aluminum, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for injecting anesthetic solutions into the oral cavity. This is a direct medical procedure performed on a patient, not a test performed on a sample taken from a patient.
  • Device Description: The device is a syringe, designed for delivering substances into the body. IVD devices are typically used for analyzing samples (like blood, urine, tissue) to diagnose or monitor conditions.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.

Therefore, the Miltex® Dental Aspirating Syringes are medical devices used for drug delivery, not IVD devices.

Dear Ms. Bosley:

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.

2

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 requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding postmarket surveillance, please contact CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometric's (OSB's) Division of Postmarket Surveillance at 240-276-3474. For questions regarding the reporting of device adverse events (Medical Device Reporting (MDR)), please contact the Division of Surveillance Systems at 240-276-3464. You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (240) 276-3150 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
