The summary describes a physical device containing isopropyl alcohol for disinfection and a physical barrier. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.
No.
The device's intended use is disinfection and barrier to contamination for luer access valves, not for treating a disease or condition in a patient.
No
Explanation: The device is described as disinfecting needleless luer access valves and providing a physical barrier to contamination. This is a preventative and disinfecting function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical cap containing isopropyl alcohol, designed to fit on luer access valves. This indicates a hardware component, not a software-only 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 disinfect and provide a physical barrier to contamination for needleless luer access valves. This is a direct action on a medical device (the valve) to prevent infection, not a test performed on a sample from the human body to diagnose a condition.
- Device Description: The device contains isopropyl alcohol and is designed to fit on a luer access valve. This aligns with a disinfection and barrier function, not an in vitro diagnostic test.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing a biological sample (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Detecting or measuring substances in a sample
- Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or prognosis of a disease or condition
- Reagents, calibrators, or controls used in a laboratory setting
The device's function is to maintain the sterility of a medical device (the luer access valve) used in patient care, which falls under the category of a general medical device, not an IVD.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
When left in place for five (5) minutes, DualCap Solo™ disinfects needleless luer access valves; thereafter the caps provide a physical barrier to contamination up to ninety-six (96) hours under normal conditions if not removed.

§ 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.

Dear Donald Solomon:
This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of January 27, 2012.
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at. https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration. Iisting of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal
