Intended Use
The EXELINT Aluminum Hub Blunt Needles are intended to be used in a variety of medical, pharmaceutical and laboratory procedures to extract fluid or medication from vials or ampoule for transfer or for irrigation.
Device Description
The EXELINT Aluminum Hub Blunt Needles are sterile, non-pyrogenic, single use fluid transfer needles consisting of blunt Type 304 stainless steel cannulas staked into aluminum luer lock hubs. The gauge and length of the cannula determines the final gauge and length of the product. The hubs are identical for all of the needles. Each needle is packaged into a Polypropylene tube and sealed with a polypropylene cap. The needles are final packaged into a multineedle box and ETO sterilized.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and sterilization of a blunt needle, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is described as a blunt needle intended for fluid transfer and irrigation, not for treating or diagnosing a medical condition.

No
Explanation: The device is described as a blunt needle intended for fluid transfer and irrigation, not for diagnosing medical conditions. It is used to extract fluid or medication for transfer, which is a procedural step rather than a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical needle made of stainless steel and aluminum, which are hardware components.

Based on the provided information, the EXELINT Aluminum Hub Blunt Needles are not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "extract fluid or medication from vials or ampoule for transfer or for irrigation." This describes a procedure performed on or with a patient or for preparing substances for patient use, not for examining specimens in vitro (outside the body) to provide diagnostic information.
  • Device Description: The description details a sterile needle for fluid transfer, which aligns with the intended use and not with the components or function of an IVD device (which typically involve reagents, calibrators, controls, etc., used to analyze biological samples).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, providing diagnostic information, or any of the typical components or processes associated with IVD devices.

Therefore, the EXELINT Aluminum Hub Blunt Needles are a medical device used for fluid handling, but not an IVD.

§ 880.5440 Intravascular administration set.

(a)
Identification. An intravascular administration set is a device used to administer fluids from a container to a patient's vascular system through a needle or catheter inserted into a vein. The device may include the needle or catheter, tubing, a flow regulator, a drip chamber, an infusion line filter, an I.V. set stopcock, fluid delivery tubing, connectors between parts of the set, a side tube with a cap to serve as an injection site, and a hollow spike to penetrate and connect the tubing to an I.V. bag or other infusion fluid container.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for pharmacy compounding systems within this classification is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Pharmacy Compounding Systems; Final Guidance for Industry and FDA Reviewers.” Pharmacy compounding systems classified within the intravascular administration set are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of this part and subject to the limitations in § 880.9.
