Intended Use
Automatically Retractable Safety Syringe (with fixed needle) (5cc/ml 22×1-1/4) is a sterile, single-use, disposable and non-reusable, retractable safety syringe which is intended to provide a safe and reliable method for intramuscular and subcutaneous injection of medication into a patient.
Device Description
The Automatically Retractable Safety Syringe (with fixed needle) 5cc/ml 22×11/4 is a piston syringe. The device is intended for medical purposes and consists of a calibrated hollow barrel and a movable plunger. At one end of the barrel there is a male connector (nozzle) for fitting the female connector (hub) of a hypodermic single lumen needle. The device is used to inject fluids into the body. Automatically Retractable Safety Syringe (with fixed needle) (5cc/ml 22×11/4") works like a conventional hypodermic syringe except for its ability to retract the contaminated needle inside of the syringe immediately after patient injection. Needle retraction is activated by the syringe user. The needle retracting mechanism is activated by a spring action mechanism after injection is completed, while the exposed needle remains safety inside the empty syringe barrel for disposal.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on a mechanical, spring-activated needle retraction mechanism, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is a syringe used for injecting medication, not for therapeutic treatment itself. Its primary function is a delivery mechanism, not a treatment.

No

The device is described as a syringe intended for injecting medication, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical syringe with a barrel, plunger, needle, and a mechanical retraction mechanism, indicating it is a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "intramuscular and subcutaneous injection of medication into a patient." This describes a procedure performed on a patient, not a test performed on a sample taken from a patient to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a syringe used for injecting fluids into the body. This aligns with a therapeutic or procedural device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This syringe's function is to deliver medication, which is a treatment, not a diagnostic test.

Proposed Indications 1.2.

The proposed indications for the predicate Anti-stick Vanishpoint and the submitted Automatically Retractable Syringe are the same. The design, intended use and construction are exactly the same.

Both the predicate and the submitted device are single-use, anti-stick piston type syringes. The function of the predicate and the submitted device is to provide a safe and reliable method of injecting medication into a patient. Both devices work like a simple piston syringe except for the syringe's ability to retract the contaminated needle inside of the syringe immediately after patient injection. Needle retraction is activated by the syringe user.

Statement of Intended Use 3.

Automatically Retractable Safety Syringe (with fixed needle) (5cc/ml 22×1-1/4) is a sterile, single-use, disposable and non-reusable, retractable safety syringe which is intended to provide a safe and reliable method for intramuscular and subcutaneous injection of medication into a patient.

Substantial Equivalence 4.

The submitted Automatically Retractable Safety Syringe is constructed to perform like the predicate Vanishpoint Syringe. Both devices are simple piston syringes with ability to retract the used needle into the body after use. Both devices are single use devices and constructed in the same manner.

Intended UseAutomatically Retractable Safety Syringe (with fixed needle) (5ml/CC 22G×1 1/4") is a sterile, single-use, disposable and non-reusable, retractable safety syringe which is intended to provide a safe and reliable method for intramuscular and subcutaneous injection of medication into a patient.The function of the VanishPoint™ Syringe is to provide a safe and reliable method of injecting medication into a patient or withdrawing blood from a patient. The VanishPoint™ Syringe works like a conventional hypodermic syringe except for its ability to retract the contaminated needle inside of the syringe immediately after patient injection. Needle retraction is activated by the syringe user. Because the contaminated needle is automatically withdrawn into the syringe barrel, The syringe user is protected from accidental needle sticks. These accidental needle sticks would occur between removing the needle from the patient and disposing of the syringe in a sharps disposable container.
Principle of operationThe needle is automatically retracted from the patient into the barrel of the syringe when the plunger is fully depressed. Automatically Retractable Safety Syringe reduces the risk of healthcare worker exposure to hazardous drugs during reconstitution, preparation, transport, and disposal.The needle is automatically retracted from the patient into the barrel of the syringe when the plunger is fully depressed.
