The device description focuses on mechanical components and automated injection based on user activation, with no mention of AI or ML for decision-making or analysis.
No
The device is an auto-injector designed for the administration of FDA-approved drugs and biologics. It is a drug delivery system, not a device that itself provides a therapeutic effect.
No
Explanation: The device is an auto-injector designed for the transfer and subcutaneous injection of drugs, not for diagnosing medical conditions. Its function is to administer medication.
No
The device description clearly outlines multiple physical components including housing, syringe, needle shield, plunger rod, trigger button, and vial adaptor. These are all hardware components, making it a hardware device with mechanical functions.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the "transfer and automated subcutaneous injection of FDA approved drugs and biologics in compatible vials." This describes a device used to administer a drug to a patient, not a device used to perform a test on a sample taken from the body to diagnose a condition or monitor health.
- Device Description: The description details components related to drug aspiration and injection (syringe, needle, plunger rod, trigger button, vial adaptor). There are no components or functions described that would be used for in vitro testing (e.g., reagents, test strips, analyzers).
- Lack of IVD Keywords: The document does not mention any terms typically associated with IVDs, such as "in vitro," "diagnostic," "assay," "test," "sample," "analyte," "reagent," etc.
- Predicate Devices: The listed predicate devices (Mixject Dispensing Pin and Autoject 2) are also drug delivery devices, not IVDs.
In summary, the Flexi-Q DV Auto-injector is a drug delivery device designed for administering medication subcutaneously. It does not perform any in vitro diagnostic testing.

Device Description
The Flexi-Q DV Auto-injector (also called: FUDAI DV)) is designed to allow people with or without minor dexterity problems (or with a help of a care giver) to aspirate a drug in solution form from a standard 13mm vial and automatically inject themselves subcutaneously with the drug.
The device is comprised of the following parts;
- -Housing: The outer shell/covering of the device. The Housing which encloses and protects the inner components including the syringe, is designed to be used while held with one hand and provides the user with visibility of the solution/ drug before, during and after injection via a window.
- -Syringe: A standard 1mL long glass syringe is assembled within the Housing. The syringe includes a staked 1/2 27G needle and an elastomeric syringe piston. The syringe is marked with a single graduation line indicating the dose volume to be aspirated and delivered (any dosage between 0.3 to 1.0mL is possible; e.g., 0.3 or 0.4 or 0.5 or 0.6 etc. up to 1.0mL). i.e., different Flexi-Q Auto-injector versions will be available, each for a single dosage volume, and according to physician prescription, the patient will use the Flexi-Q Auto-injector version specifically marked for his/her prescribed dose volume. The "single dose - single device" Flexi-Q auto-injectors are illustrated in page 11-13, Figure I. The syringe needle is used to penetrate the Vial Adaptor septum (for solution/reconstituted drug aspiration) and then to administer the subcutaneous injection to the patient.
- -Needle Shield: The needle shield covers the needle before injection. When depressed against the skin, the shield "unlocks" the Trigger Button to allow activation and injection. After the injection is completed, the shield locks in place, keeping the needle from being accessible and helping protect the user from accidental needle stick injury.
- Plunger Rod: A rigid rod that is connected to the syringe piston and protrudes out of the Auto-injector's Housing. The Plunger Rod is used to aspirate the solution/reconstituted drug into the syringe and adjust the volume to be injected to the predefined dosage.
- Trigger Button (Red INJECT Button): This button enables the user to activate the injection process after is has been unlocked by the user pressing the shield against the skin at the injection site. Once pressed the device advances the injection needle into the subcutaneous tissue followed by injection of the drug.
- One Vial Adaptor (Gray Connector): The Sterile, Single use Vial Adaptor . functions as a connector between the Auto-injector and the drug vial and provides a fluid path to enable aspiration of the drug. The syringe needle penetrates a septum (assembled inside the Vial Adaptor) made of thermoplastic elastomer while a plastic spike (part of the Vial Adaptor) penetrates the vial stopper. While attached to the Auto-injector, the Vial Adaptor conceals the Needle Shield and thus preventing inadvertent activation.
In certain cases when additional vial may be used (per drug prescription), additional sterile vial adaptor(s), may be used.
