The description focuses on the mechanical operation of a spring-loaded injection system and does not mention any computational or data-driven components indicative of AI/ML.
No.
This device is for delivering medication and vaccines, but it does not provide the therapy itself. It is a delivery system for therapeutic substances.
No
Explanation: The device is a needle-free injection system intended to deliver medications and vaccines, not to diagnose conditions.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components (injector, reset station, syringe, filling adapter) and describes a mechanical process for drug delivery, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "deliver various medications and vaccines intradermally." This describes a method of administering substances into the body, not for testing samples from the body to diagnose conditions.
- Device Description: The description details a system for injecting liquids, including components like an injector, syringe, and filling adapter. This aligns with a drug delivery system, not a diagnostic test.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or detecting specific analytes to provide diagnostic information.
Therefore, the PharmaJet Needle-free Injection System is a drug delivery device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The PharmaJet Needle-free Injection System is intended to deliver various medications and vaccines intradermally by means of a narrow, high velocity fluid jet, which penetrates the skin and delivers the medicine or vaccine into the dermis. Healthcare providers who routinely administer injections may use the PharmaJet Needle-free Injection System. It may also be used by patients authorized by their physicians to self-inject, or have other individuals administer injections of prescribed medication.

Device Description
The PharmaJet 0.1 ml Needle-free Iniection System (PharmaJet Svstem) is a compact, spring-loaded needle-free hypodermic injection system. The PharmaJet System consists of an injector; a reset station; a single use, sterile disposable filling adapter; and, a single use, sterile, disposable needle-free syringe. The components of the system may be sold separately for replacements as they are used. The components of the PharmaJet System are unique and cannot be used with any other needle-free system.
An injector is placed in the reset station and the lid is depressed to reset the spring in the injector. A health care worker puts a filling adapter into a vial of liquid medicine or vaccine. A Needle-free syringe is placed into the filling adapter, the liquid is drawn into the Needle-free syringe and is slightly over filled. The filled Needle-free syringe is removed from the adapter and the plunger is broken off and discarded. The Needle-free syringe is placed into the injector with a ¼ turn to the right, which positions the plunger so that a 0.1ml dose is ready for use. The Needle-free syringe is placed against the injection site; gentle pressure is applied until the inner housing stops. This action allows the trigger to be released. By depressing the trigger the spring is released and the plunger moves forward into the needle-free syringe barrel discharging the contents. Once the injection has been performed, the Needle-free syringe is properly disposed of and a new syringe may be filled, injector reset, and the system again prepped for use.
Injector: The Injector is a reusable compact spring-actuated needle-free hypodermic injector consisting of the body, inner body/safety collar, trigger, and spring. The injector is made with stainless steel and injection molded amorphous thermoplastic polyetherimide.
Needle-free syringe: The Needle-free syringe is a sterile, single use, transparent, disposable, polypropylene container consisting of the barrel to hold 0.1ml of medicine or vaccine, a plunger to discharge the medicine or vaccine through a small diameter orifice at the forward end of the barrel, and a silicone seal on the plunger to prevent leakage of the medicine or vaccine rearward.
Reset Station: The Reset Station is used to prepare (reset) the spring, within the injector, for an injection. The reset station is made with stainless steel and injection molded amorphous thermoplastic polyetherimide.
Filling Adapter: The filling adapter allows the needle-free syringe to be filled from medicine or vaccine storage vials. The filling adapter, which does not contact the patient, is made of injection-molded polycarbonate.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Non-clinical Tests: Bench Testing was performed to establish that the system meets the requirements of the PharmaJet 0.1ml Product and Engineering Specifications and the essential requirements of ISO21649:2006 Needle-free injectors for medical use methods. Tests successfully completed include: Temperature, storage temperature, free-fall, vibration, shock, dose accuracy, life cycle, performance profile upper and lower acceptance limits and emitted noise testing according to ISO21649:2006; Needle-free Syringe Irradiated Dose Test for Robustness; and Microbial Ingress Testing.
Animal testing: Performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence to an intradermal injection using the Terumo 1cc Allergy syringe.
Results: The test results indicate that the PharmaJet 0.1 ml Needle-free Injection System is substantial equivalence to the Terumo 1 cc Allergy Syringe with regards to the three primary endpoints: bleb diameter, depth of penetration based on dermal height, dye dermal contact area, and the secondary calculated endpoint of skin volume occupied by the dye.
Maximum irradiated sterility dose test: Done on the needle-free syringe to demonstrate material robustness.
Microbial ingress testing: Done on the Filling Adapter to demonstrate that it can be disinfected using common disinfection techniques.
Biological testing: Conducted to demonstrate that the PharmaJet Needle-free Syringe and Filling Adapter meet the requirements for safe short term exposure.
Functional testing: After Gluteraldehyde-based and peroxide-based high level disinfection show no degradation of performance or damage to Injectors or Reset Stations.
Conclusion: Pre-clinical testing and bench testing have shown that for intradermal delivery with needle-free jet injection the PharmaJet 0.1 ml Needle-free Injection System is as effective, as safe, and performs as well as, or better than one of the predicate devices.
