Intended Use
The Sol-Care Safety Hypodermic Needle is used in conjunction with a standard syringe. This device is used for aspiration and administration of medication. The Sol-Care Safety Hypodermic Needle safety mechanism covers the needle after use. In the activated position, the needle cover guards against accidental needle stick during normal handling and disposal of the used needle/syringe combination.
Device Description
The Sol-Care Safety Needle is a sterile, single use, standard hypodermic needle with a shield to enclose the needle after use. The device is available in 18 to 30 gauge and in lengths from 3/8" to 1-1/2". In addition, the needle tip is available in a regular bevel. The Sol-Care Safety Needle has a shield that covers the needle point after use. In the activated position, the needle shield guards against accidental needle stick during normal handling and disposal of the used needle/syringe combination. The Sol-Care Safety Needles are sterilized by Ethylene Oxide Gas and supplied sterile in blister pack. One hundred blister packs are packaged in a chipboard box. Each Blister pack and chipboard box is labeled with the contents and the appropriate information per the FDA's Quality System Regulation and Labeling requirements.
More Information

No
The device description and intended use focus on a mechanical safety mechanism for a hypodermic needle and do not mention any computational or data-driven features indicative of AI/ML.

Yes
Needles used for aspiration and administration of medication are considered therapeutic devices as they are directly involved in treating or managing a patient's condition by delivering or removing substances from the body.

No
The device is a hypodermic needle used for aspiration and administration of medication, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical hypodermic needle with a safety shield, which is a hardware component. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component of the 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 "aspiration and administration of medication." This involves interacting directly with the patient's body (drawing fluids or injecting substances), not analyzing samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical characteristics of a needle and its safety mechanism for preventing needlesticks. There is no mention of reagents, assays, or any components used for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical elements associated with IVDs, such as:
    • Analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or other biological samples.
    • Detecting or measuring specific substances (analytes).
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

The Sol-Care Safety Hypodermic Needle is a medical device used for direct patient care, specifically for delivering or withdrawing substances from the body.
