More Information

Not Found

No
The description details a physical container for sharps disposal and mentions no software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would indicate AI/ML.

No
The device is a sharps container used for the safe disposal of medical sharps, which is a waste management product, not a therapeutic device.

No

The device is a sharps container, used for the safe disposal of medical sharps, rather than for diagnosing any medical condition.

No

The device description clearly indicates it is a physical container made of polypropylene for the disposal of sharps, not a software application.

Based on the provided text, the Noble Sharps container is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "safe disposal of used medical sharps." This is a containment and disposal function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical characteristics and function of the container for holding sharps. There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting substances, or providing diagnostic information.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: The text does not mention any components or processes related to in vitro diagnostics, such as reagents, assays, sample analysis, or diagnostic results.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment. The Noble Sharps container's purpose is solely for the safe handling and disposal of potentially hazardous medical waste.

Dear Mr. Job:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
