Intended Use
The intended use of the VanishPoint® Blood Collection Set is to provide safe and reliable access to the vascular system to obtain blood specimens from patients. It may be used for any patient population with consideration given to adequacy of vascular anatomy and appropriateness of procedure. The VanishPoint Blood Collection Set aids in the prevention of needlestick injuries.
Device Description
The VanishPoint® Blood Collection Set is designed to collect blood specimens from patients. The VanishPoint® Blood Collection Set aids in the prevention of needlestick injuries through its retraction mechanism. The device will initially be available with either 7" or 12" tubing, ¾" length needles and gauge sizes of 19, 21, 23 and 25.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on mechanical features for safety and blood collection, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functions.

No
The device is described as a blood collection set for obtaining specimens and preventing needlestick injuries, not for treating a disease or condition.

No

Explanation: The device is a blood collection set and its intended use is to obtain blood specimens, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical blood collection set with needles, tubing, and a retraction mechanism, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the VanishPoint® Blood Collection Set is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "obtain blood specimens from patients" and "provide safe and reliable access to the vascular system." This describes a device used for the collection of a biological sample from the body.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical components and the mechanism for preventing needlestick injuries. It describes a tool for blood collection, not a device that performs a diagnostic test on a sample in vitro (outside the body).
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device analyzing the blood sample, detecting specific substances, or providing any diagnostic information. Its function is solely to collect the sample safely.
  • Predicate Device: The predicate device, the BD Vacutainer Push Button Blood Collection Set, is also a blood collection device, not an IVD.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The VanishPoint® Blood Collection Set's function is limited to the collection of the specimen itself.

§ 880.5440 Intravascular administration set.

(a)
Identification. An intravascular administration set is a device used to administer fluids from a container to a patient's vascular system through a needle or catheter inserted into a vein. The device may include the needle or catheter, tubing, a flow regulator, a drip chamber, an infusion line filter, an I.V. set stopcock, fluid delivery tubing, connectors between parts of the set, a side tube with a cap to serve as an injection site, and a hollow spike to penetrate and connect the tubing to an I.V. bag or other infusion fluid container.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for pharmacy compounding systems within this classification is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Pharmacy Compounding Systems; Final Guidance for Industry and FDA Reviewers.” Pharmacy compounding systems classified within the intravascular administration set are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of this part and subject to the limitations in § 880.9.
