No
The device is a simple mechanical luer cap and the summary contains no mention of AI, ML, or any related computational techniques.

No
The device is a luer cap designed to cover male luer fittings, reducing the risk of touch contamination and medication leakage. Its function is to maintain sterility and prevent leakage, not to treat or diagnose a disease or condition.

No
The device is a luer cap designed to cover male luer fittings, reducing the risk of contamination and medication leakage. Its purpose is to prevent leakage and contact/environment contamination, not to diagnose a condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly indicates a physical "Luer Cap" which is a hardware component. The performance studies also focus on physical properties like leakage and ease of use with different luer tips.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to cover male luer fittings to reduce contamination and leakage. This is a physical barrier function, not a diagnostic test performed on samples from the human body.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces the function of preventing leakage and contamination during transport.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific substances, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on leakage and ease of use, which are relevant to a physical barrier device, not an IVD.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or screening purposes. This device does not fit that description.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Liquid leakage testing was performed in accordance with FDA Recognized Standard ISO 594-1. The Patient Safe® Luer Cap will reduce the risk of touch contamination and medication leakage.
A simulated use study was conducted by Retractable Technologies, Inc, to ensure the Patient Safe® Luer Cap can effectively be used by the clinician while promoting aseptic technique. The subject device was attached to six (6) different types of luer tips. The Patient Safe® Luer Cap satisfied all requirements of the protocol to protect the luer tip from touch contamination, liquid leakage and ease of use.

Date of Summary Preparation:February 14, 2011
Trade Name:Patient Safe® Luer Cap
Common Name:Luer/ Tip Cap
Classification Name:FMF - Piston Syringe
Device Classification:Class II
Legally Marketed Substantially Equivalent Device:K801311 - Burron Multi-AD Syringe Cap
Description of Device:The Patient Safe® Luer Cap is for use on luer tips of other devices to prevent leakage and contact and/or environment contamination during transport to patient area.
Intended Use:The intended use of the Patient Safe® Luer Cap is to cover male luer fittings (luer lock and luer slip), to reduce the risk of touch contamination and medication leakage.
Engineering Testing:Liquid leakage testing was performed in accordance with FDA Recognized Standard ISO 594-1. The Patient Safe® Luer Cap will reduce the risk of touch contamination and medication leakage.
Simulated Use Study:A simulated use study was conducted by Retractable Technologies, Inc, to ensure the Patient Safe® Luer Cap can effectively be used by the clinician while promoting aseptic technique. The subject device was attached to six (6) different types of luer tips. The Patient Safe® Luer Cap satisfied all requirements of the protocol to protect the luer tip from touch contamination, liquid leakage and ease of use.
Comparison of Technical Characteristics:The Patient Safe® Luer Cap and the predicate device are similar in design, technological characteristics and materials. Biocompatibility testing was performed on all materials with acceptable results. The subject luer cap has the same intended use as other luer/tip caps currently being marketed.
Substantial Equivalence:The manual operation, similar design and materials between the predicate device and the subject device do not raise new issues of safety and effectiveness. As an accessory device, the Patient Safe® Luer Cap is made of a material currently approved by the FDA and does not raise new issues of safety and effectiveness. It is our opinion that the devices are substantially equivalent.
