No
The device description explicitly details physical components (barrels, plungers, caps, etc.) made of specific materials and describes physical design features and testing related to these hardware components.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the "delivery of liquid medication, formula and breast milk." This is a delivery mechanism for substances into the body, not for testing samples from the body to diagnose a condition.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the physical components and safety features related to oral/enteral administration, not on any reagents, assays, or analytical processes used to test biological samples.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies described are related to the physical properties and functionality of the syringe (leakage, volume accuracy, tip dimensions, biocompatibility), not to the accuracy or reliability of a diagnostic test.
- Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information.
In summary, the Oral Enteral Syringe is a medical device used for administering substances, not for performing in vitro diagnostic tests.

Device Description
The Oral Enteral Syringe is intended as a single use, sterile, device for the delivery of liquid medication, formula and breast milk. The Oral Enteral Syringe comes in multiple volume sizes ranging from 1cc to 60cc [e.g., 1cc, 3cc, 10cc, 20cc, 30cc and 60cc]. The VR Medical Oral Enteral Syringe, as well as the predicate device [Phillips Children's Medical Venture Oral/ Enteral Syringe (K100099)] has 'labeling' on the device itself, i.e., highly visible labeling on side of barrel marked ORAL/ENTERAL ONLY, and the utilization of bright orange colorant for the plunger and cap that easily distinguishes the syringe for feeding and not other uses.
The Oral Enteral Syringe incorporates safety connectors which eliminate the risk of IV administration through the feeding tube, i.e., the safety connectors will not mate with Luer Lock or Leur slip fittings.
The VR Medical Oral Enteral Syringe design incorporates various components, e.g., barrels, plungers, caps and end caps, which are comprised of commercially available materials with demonstrated acceptable biocompatibility, as listed below:
- Barrel Material: Polypropylene 370Y
- Piston Material: Thermoplastic Elastomer IR307
- Plunger Material: Polypropylene 370Y
- Plunger Colorant: Orange Pigment*
- Cap Material: Polypropylene 370Y
- Cap Colorant: Orange Pigment (P21024)
- Barrel Gradation Ink: PPE Ink Series (on outside of barrel)
- Nozzle Material: Polypropylene 370Y (molded with barrel)
The Oral Enteral Syringe does not contain natural rubber latex, DEHP, or BPA.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Design verification tests were performed on the Oral Enteral Syringe as a result of the risk analysis and product requirements. The following tests and analysis were conducted demonstrating the VR Medical Oral Enteral Syringe met the acceptance criteria:
- Syringe Tip Tensile Test: VR Medical Syringe and Phillips Syringe (K100099) tested. Justification: Actual proposed device and predicate (K100099) tested.
- Syringe Liquid Leakage Test: VR Medical Syringe tested. Justification: Actual proposed device tested.
- Volume Measurement Accuracy Testing (manual. ISO 7886-1 and syringe pump, ISO 7886-2): VR Medical Syringe and Phillips Syringe (K100099) tested. Justification: Actual proposed device and predicate (K100099) tested.
- ISO 7886-1 requirements (excluding tip requirements): VR Medical Syringe tested. Justification: Actual proposed device tested.
- Size and Material Inspection: VR Medical Syringe tested. Justification: Actual proposed device tested.
- Biocompatibility Analysis (Syringe materials): Referenced to predicate. Justification: VR Medical device component materials and processes identical to referenced predicate (except orange colorant).
- Biocompatibility Analysis (Orange colorant): Referenced to 21 CFR 178.3297. Justification: These colorants are cleared (or FDA listed) as food contact substance.
- Sterilization Related Testing: VR Medical Syringe tested. Justification: Actual proposed device tested.
- Storage and Shelf Life Testing (accelerated-time aging): VR Medical Syringe tested. Justification: Actual proposed package and device tested.
- Storage and Shelf Life Testing (real time aging): Referenced to predicate. Justification: VR Medical device packaging identical to referenced predicate device package/ process.
- Package Related Testing: VR Medical Syringe tested. Justification: Actual proposed device tested.
- ISO 80369-1 requirements: VR Medical Syringe tested. Justification: Actual proposed device tested.
Analytical comparisons and lab testing of the VR Medical device tip's dimensions to the others devices listed in the ISO 80369-1 allow the conclusions that:
- The VR Medical and Phillips Children's device tips are substantially equivalent.
- The VR Medical device tip is not substantially equivalent to the Wei Gao Group Syringe tip
- The VR Medical device tip is not compliant with the ISO 594 standard's tip requirements.
- The VR Medical device tip is not compliant with other small-bore connectors listed in the ISO 80369-1 except Enteral feeding tips.
Syringe tip analytical engineering evaluation again demonstrates that the width (outside diameter, OD) of the VR Medical syringe tip is larger than the ISO 594 Female Luer Connector standard IV connector inner diameter (ID) dimensions [4.27-4.31 mm]. Thus, the VR Medical syringe tip cannot physically fit into an ISO 594 rigid female Leur connector and does not conform to the ISO 594 standard's requirements.
These analyses demonstrated that the VR Medical Oral Enteral Syringe's tip dimensions fit well within the female connector of commercially available feeding tubes, e.g., the MPS Acacia Enteral Feeding Tube's female connector (K080328), the AMERITUS Enteral Feeding Tube's female connector (K100526) and the NeoMed Enteral Only Extension Set's female connector (K100288).

Device Description
The Oral Enteral Syringe is intended as a single use, sterile, device for the delivery of liquid medication, formula and breast milk. The Oral Enteral Syringe comes in multiple volume sizes ranging from 1cc to 60cc [e.g., 1cc, 3cc, 10cc, 20cc, 30cc and 60cc]. The VR Medical Oral Enteral Syringe, as well as the predicate device [Phillips Children's Medical Venture Oral/ Enteral Syringe (K100099)] has 'labeling' on the device itself, i.e., highly visible labeling on side of barrel marked ORAL/ENTERAL ONLY, and the utilization of bright orange colorant for the plunger and cap that easily distinguishes the syringe for feeding and not other uses.

K110853 page 3 of 4
The Oral Enteral Syringe incorporates safety connectors which eliminate the risk of IV administration through the feeding tube, i.e., the safety connectors will not mate with Luer Lock or Leur slip fittings. Analytical comparisons and lab testing of the VR Medical device tip's dimensions to the others devices listed in the ISO 80369-1 allow the conclusions that:
- The VR Medical and Phillips Children's device tips are substantially equivalent. .
- The VR Medical device tip is not substantially equivalent to the Wei Gao Group ● Syringe tip
- The VR Medical device tip is not compliant with the ISO 594 standard's tip . requirements.
- The VR Medical device tip is not compliant with other small-bore connectors . listed in the ISO 80369-1 except Enteral feeding tips.
Syringe tip analytical engineering evaluation again demonstrates that the width (outside diameter, OD) of the VR Medical syringe tip is larger than the ISO 594 Female Luer Connector standard IV connector inner diameter (ID) dimensions [4.27-4.31 mm]. Thus, the VR Medical syringe tip cannot physically fit into an ISO 594 rigid female Leur connector and does not conform to the ISO 594 standard's requirements.
While VR Medical has searched for an applicable standard for the dimensions of feeding tubes' rigid female connectors, none were found. However, in order for hospitals to purchase feeding tubes from a variety of manufactures and be assured that these different devices will all be compatible with the hospitals' existing equipment, the industry utilizes the same female connector ID dimensions, e.g., a 'common use'. To ensure these 'common use' dimensions. the VR Medical syringe was evaluated against three different commercially available feeding tubes in relation to their rigid female connectors.
These analyses demonstrated that the VR Medical Oral Enteral Syringe's tip dimensions fit well within the female connector of commercially available feeding tubes, e.g., the MPS Acacia Enteral Feeding Tube's female connector (K080328), the AMERITUS Enteral Feeding Tube's female connector (K100526) and the NeoMed Enteral Only Extension Set's female connector (K100288).
The VR Medical Oral Enteral Syringe design incorporates various components, e.g., barrels, plungers, caps and end caps, which are comprised of commercially available materials with demonstrated acceptable biocompatibility, as listed below:

| * It is important to note that the US FDA has already concluded in 21 CFR 178.3297 that these colorants are cleared (or FDA listed) as food contact substance, e.g., acceptable use as an indirect food additive for use as a component of materials used in manufacturing, packaging, transporting or holding food. |
The Oral Enteral Syringe does not contain natural rubber latex, DEHP, or BPA.
Conclusion
The conclusions drawn from the actual conducted (as well as the referenced) analytical engineering evaluations, the nonclinical tests and the commercial use of similar and predicate devices, demonstrate that the VR Medical Oral Enteral Syringe is as safe, as effective and performs at least as safely and effectively as the legally marketed (predicate) devices.
