Intended Use
Sharpsmart™ S2 disposable sharps container are intended to be used in healthcare facilities, including nursing stations, medication carts, laboratories, dental offices, emergency rooms, surgical rooms, treatment rooms, emergency vehicles, veterinarian office and other small quantity waste generators for the safe disposal of hazardous sharps. This device is intended for "Over-the-Counter" use.
Device Description
The Sharpsmart™ S2 disposable sharps container is intended to be used in patient rooms, medication rooms, operating rooms, physicians' offices or any other patient care area requiring the use of a sharps container. It is a two-piece injection-molded container made from a polypropylene copolymer. The container is designed with a closure mechanism that allows multiple lid re-openings, while ensuring secure between uses. Both handle and lid can be secured out of the way for safe, unobstructed disposal of sharps. The S2 container is capable of standalone use. A Unique bracket design is offered as an additional measure to secure mounting on vertical or horizontal surfaces to prevent toppling. The bracket is not required for the use of the container. It only offers a secondary option for the user for ease of use. The containers are closable, puncture resistant, leak proof on the sides and bottom and stable. The label, containing an overfill warning and an easily visible fill line, is adhered to the container at the factory. The containers are translucent and are red or yellow. The label is white and red with the biohazard warning. Sharpsmart™ S2 disposable sharps containers are available in a 1 quart size. Each product has two parts, which assemble together to form a unit. Assembly is easily visualized. They can be nested together to reduce storage space. The container is designed and certified to comply with penetration requirements, as represented though product testing for Test methods: AS/NZS 4031:1992 and Test Method: roprosence and the Transport of Dangerous Goods. 15th revised Ed. 6.1.5.3The Sharpsmart™ S2 disposable sharps containers meet or exceed OSHA recommendations for sharps containers.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and safety features of a sharps container, with no mention of AI or ML technology.

No.
The device is a sharps container used for the safe disposal of hazardous sharps, which is a waste management tool, not a device used for treating a medical condition or ailment.

No.
The device is a sharps container designed for the safe disposal of hazardous sharps, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly details a physical, injection-molded container made of polypropylene copolymer, designed for the disposal of sharps. It describes physical characteristics, assembly, and testing related to puncture resistance, leak resistance, and impact, all indicative of a hardware device. There is no mention of software components.

Based on the provided text, the Sharpsmart™ S2 disposable sharps container is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the safe disposal of hazardous sharps in healthcare settings. This is a waste management function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical characteristics of the container (material, design, closure, size, etc.) and its ability to safely contain sharps waste. There is no mention of it being used to examine specimens or provide diagnostic information.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The Sharpsmart™ S2 container does not perform any such function.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies listed focus on the physical integrity and safety features of the container (puncture resistance, leak resistance, impact testing, etc.), which are relevant to its function as a sharps disposal container, not a diagnostic device.

In summary, the Sharpsmart™ S2 disposable sharps container is a medical device used for the safe disposal of medical waste, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.
