AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning)

No
The device description and intended use clearly describe a saline flush syringe, a physical medical device, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would incorporate AI or ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" and "Mentions image processing" fields are explicitly marked as "Not Found".

Therapeutic

Yes
The device is used to maintain the patency of intravenous vascular access devices, which is a therapeutic function aimed at ensuring the proper operation of medical equipment essential for patient treatment.

Diagnostic

No
The device is described as "Normal Saline I. V. Flush Syringes," intended "TO MAINTAIN THE PATENCY OF IN-DWELLING INTRAVENOUS VASCULAR ACCESS DEVICES (IVAD)." Its function is to clear lines, not to diagnose a condition or disease.

SaMD (Software as a Medical Device)

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical product, "Normal Saline I. V. Flush Syringes," and discusses sterilization and fill volumes, which are characteristics of a hardware device, not software.

IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)

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

Here's why:

• Intended Use: The intended use is "FOR USE TO MAINTAIN THE PATENCY OF IN-DWELLING INTRAVENOUS VASCULAR ACCESS DEVICES (IVAD)". This describes a direct medical intervention on a patient's vascular access device, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
• Device Description: The device is described as "Normal Saline I. V. Flush Syringes (0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP)". This is a sterile solution intended for flushing, not for analyzing a biological sample.
• Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or processes typically associated with IVDs, such as reagents, assays, or analysis of biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.).

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device's function is to maintain the patency of a medical device within the body, which falls outside the scope of an IVD.

Dear Mr. Aggarwal:

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 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.
