More Information

Pre-amendment

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and sterilization properties of a reusable dental syringe, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is a syringe used for injecting anesthetic solutions, which is a delivery mechanism, not a device that directly performs therapy.

No
The device, a dental cartridge syringe, is used for injecting anesthetic solutions. It is not described as being used to identify or analyze a disease or condition. Its function is interventional (delivery of medication), not diagnostic.

No

The device description explicitly states it is made from chrome-plated brass and stainless steel, indicating it is a physical hardware device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The description clearly states the device is a dental cartridge syringe used for injecting anesthetic solutions into the oral cavity. This is a procedure performed on the body, not a test performed on a specimen taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for injecting anesthetic, not for analyzing a biological sample.

The device is a surgical/dental instrument used for a therapeutic procedure (administering anesthetic), not a diagnostic test.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Results of in-house testing with Hu-Friedy dental cartridge syringes demonstrated that they performed within recommended specifications of the applicable clauses of ISO 9997-Dental Cartridge Syringes, ISO 11499-Dental Cartridges for Local Anesthetics and ISO 13402-Surgical and Dental Hand Instruments. Verification criteria included loading of cartridges, plunger rod testing, plunger movement testing, aspiration testing and corrosion testing.

In addition, Hu-Friedy successfully completed an outside laboratory qualification study of the proposed steam sterilization cycles. The resulting recommended instructions to dental facilities for routine sterilization of the reusable dental syringes conform to ANSI/AAMI ST79.

Device Description:

Hu-Friedy dental cartridge syringes are made from chrome-plated brass and stainless steel. Syringes are reusable, sterilizable and packaged non-sterile.

Intended Use:

These devices are intended for use by dental professionals only. The devices are indicated to be used in conjunction with anesthetic needles and anesthetic cartridges for injection of anesthetic solutions in the oral cavity.

Technological Characteristics:

Hu-Friedy will offer 2 patterns of syringes, the CW type cartridge syringe and the A type cartridge syringe. Both patterns of cartridge syringe are compatible with a standard 1.8ml anesthetic vial. According to ISO 9997: 1999, both patterns are classified as type 2a- aspiration by force produced by drawing the plunger away from the needle. The needle mounting threads for both patterns are available in standard imperial threads.

Performance Characteristics:

Results of in-house testing with Hu-Friedy dental cartridge syringes demonstrated that they performed within recommended specifications of the applicable clauses of ISO 9997-Dental Cartridge Syringes, ISO 11499-Dental Cartridges for Local Anesthetics and ISO 13402-Surgical and Dental Hand Instruments. Verification criteria included loading of cartridges, plunger rod testing, plunger movement testing, aspiration testing and corrosion testing.
