Intended Use
DMC Medical piston type syringes are single use syringes intended for injecting fluids into or withdrawing fluids from the body.
Device Description
DMC Medical Single-Use Polycarbonate Syringe is offered in the same configurations as the predicate. It is made from a calibrated hollow barrel, and a moveable piston with a plunger tip at the end of the piston. The piston shaft does not contact any part of the fluid path, rather the tip which attaches to the shaft and the barrel are fluid path components. Individual components are made from properly tested materials included in this submission. Additionally, there is a small amount of lubricant for moving the piston shaft smoothly along the inside surface of the barrel. The connector is a universal luer threaded style connector. The device is used in general medicine in clinical, hospital, or other settings of healthcare professionals.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and material properties of a standard syringe, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is described as a syringe intended for injecting or withdrawing fluids, which is an instrumental function rather than a therapeutic one. It does not provide any treatment or therapy to the patient.

No

The device description indicates it is a syringe used for injecting or withdrawing fluids, which is a therapeutic or procedural function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a barrel, piston, plunger tip, and lubricant, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "for injecting fluids into or withdrawing fluids from the body." This describes a device used directly on or in a patient for therapeutic or diagnostic procedures, not for testing samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description details a syringe, which is a tool for administering or collecting substances from a living organism. It doesn't mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing samples, reagents, or any other elements typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or screening purposes. This syringe's function is to physically move fluids into or out of the body.

Trade Name:DMC Medical Single-Use Polycarbonate Syringe
Common Name:Syringe, Hypodermic
Classification Name:Piston Syringe, 21 CFR 880.5860, Class II Device, Product Code: FMF

Legally Marketed Predicate Devices for Substantial Equivalence:

*K070856 - ICU Medical Single-Use Syringe

Rationale for SE:

The ICU Medical Single-Use Syringe is a Class II device that is offered pre-sterilized or in bulk for offer to other kit manufacturers. The ICU Medical Single-Use Polycarbonate Syringe is made from identical materials and by the same processes.

Description of Submitted Device:

DMC Medical Single-Use Polycarbonate Syringe is offered in the same configurations as the predicate. It is made from a calibrated hollow barrel, and a moveable piston with a plunger tip at the end of the piston. The piston shaft does not contact any part of the fluid path, rather the tip which attaches to the shaft and the barrel are fluid path components. Individual components are made from properly tested materials included in this submission. Additionally, there is a small amount of lubricant for moving the piston shaft smoothly along the inside surface of the barrel. The connector is a universal luer threaded style connector. The device is used in general medicine in clinical, hospital, or other settings of healthcare professionals.

Intended Uses of the DMC Medical Syringe:

DMC Medical piston type syringes are single use syringes, intended for injecting fluids into or withdrawing fluids from the body.

The operational characteristics, when compared to the predicate device, are identical. The user connects the syringe via the threaded luer, then manually advancing or withdrawing the plunger internal to the barrel, is able to express or withdraw fluids are measured via the printed external housing of the barrel; measurements are indicated in ml (milliliters). Operation is similar for most all piston syringes whether fitted with a threaded luer end or a slip-fit only end.

Safety and Performance:

DMC Medical syringes conform to the requirements offSO 7886-1, an FDA recognized standard. Additionally, the Sterility Assurance Level, (SAL) has been established to meet the 10- level. The single use syringes are packaged in a way as to ensure conformity with ISO 10993-1, including minimizing residual gases as well as discourage re-use.

Non-clinical Testing:

DMC Medical syringes are tested to ISO 7886-1, as well as pressure testing to failure. All syringes conform to ISO 10993-1, including minimizing residual gases. This testing ensures that the devices meet the needs of the healthcare professional using them. Additionally, the testing demonstrates that the device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the predicate device.

Conclusion:

The materials, performance, and operational features of both the submitted device and the predicate device are substantially equivalent and are safe and effective for their intended use.
