Intended Use
AN-E epidural needle is intended for the transient delivery of anesthetics to provide neuraxial anesthesia or to facilitate placement of an epidural catheter. AN-SI spinal needle and AN-SII spinal needle are intended for the transient delivery of anesthetics to provide neuraxial anesthesia.
Device Description
The proposed device, Anesthesia conduction needles, including Epidural Needle for Single Use (AN-E), Spinal Needle for Single Use (AN-SI, AN-SII) was developed by LCCS Products Limited to meet urgent demands on prevention of cross- infection. Anesthesia conduction needles, is a kind of sterile and sharp hollow-device used for transferring anaesthetic to epidural cavities. The device can be used for introducing dedicated ducts into epidural cavities for convenience of injecting anaesthetic continuously. Anesthesia conduction needles fit into an introducer needle. This is a simple hypodermic needle to make the initial puncture through the skin to aid in the placement of the anesthesia conduction needle. The later can facilitate the placement of an epidural catheter for continuous infusion of local anesthetics into the epidural space. The needle tubing is stabilized during puncture with use of an inner stylet. This stylet is withdrawn after the anesthesia conduction needle has reached its anatomical site for neuraxial anesthesia. Then the anesthetics can be applied transiently (i.e., within minutes) by the professional anesthetist. Alternatively or additionally, an epidural catheter may be placed through the anesthesia conduction needle. The needle is withdrawn and the epidural catheter tip may remain in the epidural space for pain treatment.The stylet hub is made of HDPE, the needle hub is made of resin, the raw material of the needle tubing and stylet is stainless steel, the jacket is PP, all the raw materials are biocompatible.

No
The device description and intended use describe a simple mechanical needle for delivering anesthetics or placing catheters. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing that would suggest the use of AI or ML.

No.
The device facilitates the delivery of anesthetics, which are therapeutic agents, but the needles themselves are not therapeutic; they are instruments used in a medical procedure to administer treatment.

No

The device is intended for the delivery of anesthetics and the placement of catheters, which are therapeutic and interventional functions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly describes physical needles made of stainless steel and other materials, intended for insertion into the body. It does not mention any software components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "transient delivery of anesthetics" and to "facilitate placement of an epidural catheter." This describes a device used for a medical procedure (administering medication and placing a catheter), not for testing samples from the human body to diagnose or monitor a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a sterile, sharp, hollow needle used for transferring anesthetic into the body. This aligns with a surgical or procedural device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Activity: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) for a therapeutic and procedural purpose.
