Intended Use
The Medline Retractable Safety Syringe is used to inject fluids into, or withdraw fluids from, the body. In addition, this safety syringe is designed to aid in the prevention of needle stick injuries and reduce the potential for syringe reuse.
Device Description
The Medline Retractable Safety Syringe is a retractable type piston syringe, designed to aid in the prevention of needle stick injuries. This single-use, disposable syringe consists of the following components: 1. Barrel - The barrel has a scale showing the capacity of the syringe. In addition, the tip of the barrel has a luer lock fitting for the user in affach a needle. 2. Plunger - Once the plunger is fully depressed, it engages the needle assembly. As the plunger is retracted, the needle assembly is retracted into the barrel. Once the plunger is fully retracted and locked in place, the plunger is snapped off leaving the needle in the barrel of the syringe. 3. O-Ring - The O-ring minimizes the risk of leakage around the adapter. 4. Gasket - The gasket maintains the fluid in the barrel between the adapter and plunger. 5. Luer Lock or Needle Holder - The luer lock facilitates passage of the fluid, while holding the needle in place. 6. Hub Holder - Engages the plunger after the injection. 7. Locking Ring - A plastic insert at the top of the barrel. After the injection, the health care professional retracts the plunger with the needle into the barrel. Once the plunger is fully retracted, the plunger is locked into position at the top of the barrel. This safety mechanism makes sure the needle cannot be pushed back out the tip of the barrel. 8. Needle - Pre-attached single lumen stainless steel needle which penetrates the patient's skin to inject/withdraw fluid. (1ml syringe only) 9. Short Cap - Protective cover for the needle tip. Removed upon use. (1ml syringe only) 10. Big Cap - Protective cover for the plunger. (1ml syringe only) The Medline Retractable Safety Syringe functions in a manner similar to standard syringes for fluid injection/withdrawal. After use, the health care professional fully depresses the plunger to engage the luer assembly. Once the luer assembly is engaged, pulling back the plunger causes the adapter and the attached needle to be withdrawn into the safety of the barrel. This retraction into the barrel of the syringe can be visually confirmed. In this position against the flange, single-handed lateral pressure on the plunger results in a controlled fracture of the plunger. Once this safety mechanism has been activated, the syringe is permanently disabled and the needle is completely secured within the barrel. Both the syringe and plunger are discarded in a Sharp's container.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description details a purely mechanical syringe with a retraction mechanism. There is no mention of software, data processing, or any computational elements that would suggest the use of AI or ML.

No
The device is a syringe used for injecting or withdrawing fluids, and its primary therapeutic function is to safely administer or remove substances from the body, rather than directly treating a condition itself. The safety features are to prevent injury and reuse, not to provide therapy.

No
Explanation: The device is a safety syringe used for injecting or withdrawing fluids, with features to prevent needle stick injuries and syringe reuse; it does not perform diagnostic functions.

No

The device description clearly outlines multiple physical components (barrel, plunger, needle, etc.) and its function involves mechanical actions (injection, withdrawal, retraction). There is no mention of software as a component or function.

Based on the provided information, the Medline Retractable Safety Syringe is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is clearly stated as "to inject fluids into, or withdraw fluids from, the body." This describes a direct interaction with the patient's body for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes within the body, not for testing samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description details the mechanical components of a syringe designed for fluid delivery and withdrawal, with a safety mechanism for needle retraction. There is no mention of components or functions related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Testing of biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Reagents or assays
    • Measurement of analytes
    • Diagnostic information derived from sample analysis

In summary, the Medline Retractable Safety Syringe is a medical device used for administering or collecting substances directly from a patient, which falls under the category of devices used in vivo, not in vitro.
