The device description and performance studies focus on the physical components, materials, and sterilization of a saline flush syringe with an integrated disinfectant cap. There is no mention of any computational or algorithmic processes that would suggest the use of AI or ML.
No
The device is a flushing syringe and a disinfect cap used to clean IV catheters and tubing, which are procedural accessories rather than a direct therapeutic treatment.
No
The device is intended for flushing IV catheters and tubing, and disinfecting luer access valves. It does not identify or diagnose a disease or condition.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical medical device consisting of a syringe, saline solution, and an integrated cap containing disinfectant. There is no mention of software as a component or function of the device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for flushing IV catheters and IV tubing, and disinfecting luer access valves. These are actions performed directly on or in relation to the patient's vascular access system.
- Device Description: The device is a pre-filled syringe with saline and an integrated disinfectant cap. It is used for physical actions (flushing and disinfecting).
- Lack of In Vitro Testing: The description does not mention any testing of samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body to diagnose, monitor, or screen for diseases or conditions.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical and functional aspects of the device (syringe standards, biocompatibility, sterilization, aging, shipping) and a simulated clinical setting for flushing. There are no studies related to analyzing biological samples.
IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform such functions.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The flush syringe is intended for flushing IV catheters and IV tubing. The integrated SwabCap® is intended for use on swab-able luer access valves as a disinfecting cleaner prior to line access and to act as a physical barrier to contamination between the line accesses. SwabCap® will disinfect the valve five (5) minutes after application and act as a physical barrier to contamination for up to ninety-six (96) hours under normal conditions if not removed.

Non Clinical Testing Data to Demonstrate Safety: All of the non clinical testing was conducted in accordance to the requirements of design control.
DESIGN VERIFICATION
Excelsior has demonstrated that the SwabFlush"" syringe meets all ISO 7886-1: Sterile Hypodermic Syringes for single use standards and ISO 594-1&-2: Conical fittings with a 6 % (Luer) taper for syringes, needles and certain other medical equipment.
The device was confirmed to meet all biocompatibility requirements of ISO 10993: Biological evaluation of medical devices.
Sterilization validations were performed to validate the effectiveness of the sterilization methods to achieve the desired sterility assurance level.
Additional tests performed ensure the SwabFlush" syringe functions to hold and apply a SwabCap®, while not affecting the disinfectant content of the SwabCap®. The saline flush was verified to comply with 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection USP monograph requirements. The verification also included the controlled aging of SwabFlush" to verify all product requirements including sterility throughout the shelf life. Ship testing was performed on a representative final packaged product for drop, vibration, and compression as specified by applicable ISTA or ASTM standards.
All results met the criteria established in the testing.
DESIGN VALIDATION
A Design Validation was done to verify that the SwabFlush™ meets the clinical need expected for a typical flush procedure in a simulated clinical setting.
Conclusion
Based on the information provided in this 510(k) premarket notification, SwabFlush" is substantially equivalent in terms of safety and effectiveness to the predicate devices identified above.

SwabFlush"
Intended Use/Indications for Use
The flush syringe is intended for flushing IV catheters and IV tubing. The integrated SwabCap® is intended for use on swab-able luer access valves as a disinfecting cleaner prior to line access and to act as a physical barrier to contamination between the line accesses. SwabCap® will disinfect the valve five (5) minutes after application and act as a physical barrier to contamination for up to ninety-six (96) hours under normal conditions if not removed.
Technological Characteristics
The SwabFlush" syringe has the same technological characteristics as the predicates. SwabFlush" syringe and predicate syringes are all single use, disposable prefilled saline syringes.
The SwabFlush" syringe is similar in design and uses the same types of materials as the Excelsior Medical Disposable Syringe with Normal Saline (K962938) and Saline prefilled Syringe(s) in Sterile Field Packaging (K082837). The SwabFlush" syringe, like the predicate syringes, has a standard male luer lock fitting which is intended to connect to standard female luer lock fittings, including luer access valves. The saline contained in the SwabFlush" syringe and predicate syringes meet the same requirements for 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP. Both the SwabFlush™ syringe and predicate syringes meet the same requirements for syringe functional characteristics such as, but not limited to, injection force and liquid/air leakage. The SwabFlush" syringe is filled, sterilized, and packaged using the same equipment and processes of the Disposable Syringe with Normal Saline (K962938). The SwabFlush " syringe and the Disposable Syringe with Normal Saline (K962938) are intended for the same user and indicated for the same use.
The integrated SwabCap® within the SwabFlush™ syringe is identical to the predicate device. There have been no changes to the intended use, design, materials or processing of SwabCap® as cleared under K083508.
Technological Modifications
The SwabFlush" has two unique technological modifications from the predicate devices. The first is a modification of the thumb press end of the plunger. Instead of a flat surface, the end has an open cup feature that allows a single fully assembled and packaged SwabCap® to be integrated with the syringe. The second modification is in the form of rounded recesses molded into the opening of the syringe barrel. This feature prevents a fully injected syringe plunger from rotating. This anti-rotational feature allows the fully injected syringe to become a tool for SwabCap® application and facilitates its installation to the luer access device.
Substantial Equivalence Discussion
The subject device is similar to the predicate devices based on intended use, technology and design. No changes have been made to the design of the SwabCap® as cleared by the FDA for integration into the syringe plunger.
