No
The description focuses on a mechanical needle protection mechanism and does not mention any computational or data-driven features indicative of AI/ML.

No
The device is described as a safety needle for aspirations and injections, with a primary function of preventing needle sticks after use. It does not perform any therapeutic function.

No
Explanation: The device is described as a safety needle for aspirations and injections of fluids, with a primary function of preventing needle sticks after use. There is no mention of it being used to diagnose conditions or processes.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "hypodermic needle with protection device," indicating a physical hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "aspirations and injections of fluids." This describes a procedure performed directly on a patient, not a test performed on a sample taken from a patient in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a "hypodermic needle with protection device," which is a tool for administering or withdrawing substances from the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific substances, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is a tool for administering or withdrawing substances, which is a different category of medical device.

Dear Mr. Holland:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
