More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and functional performance of a syringe, with no mention of AI or ML technology.

No.
This device is designed to measure and administer medication/nutrition, not to treat or cure a disease or condition.

No
The device is described as an oral/enteral syringe used to measure and administer medication and nutrition, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical syringe, which is a hardware component, not a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, the MED-RX® Oral/Enteral Syringe is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "measure and administer oral medication and enteral nutrition." This involves delivering substances into the body, not analyzing samples from the body to diagnose or monitor a condition.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical characteristics of a syringe designed for administration, not for collecting or processing biological samples for diagnostic testing.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used with biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any process related to diagnostic testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. The MED-RX® Oral/Enteral Syringe's function is purely for administration.

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

Verification of functional performance of the MED-RX® Oral/Enteral Syringes has been performed. The MED-RX® Oral/Enteral Syringes were subject to numerous performance tests including device functionality, device compatibility with luer and other small bore non-luer devices, cap resistance to leakage, separation of the cap during typical storage conditions, and for natural rubber latex content. All bench testing was successfully completed on both configurations of the MED-RX® Oral/Enteral Syringe: the overmold enteral tip syringe and the enteral tip syringe.

Device Description

The MED-RX® Oral/Enteral Syringe is available in two configurations, an enteral tip syringe and an overmolded enteral tip syringe. Both configurations of the MED-RX® Oral/Enteral Syringe are available in various volumes, from 1 to 60mL. All MED-RX® Oral/Enteral Syringe feature graduation markings along the barrel of the syringe, are provided with a tip cap, and are incompatible with standard luer devices. The MED-RX® Oral/Enteral Syringes are provided sterile, and are single use and disposable.

Indications for Use

The MED-RX® Oral/Enteral Syringes are to be used by a healthcare professional to measure and administer oral medication and enteral nutrition. The MED-RX® Oral/Enteral Syringes are sterile, single use, and for pediatric use only.

Substantial Equivalence

The information provided in the premarket notification demonstrates that the proposed device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed devices. The proposed MED-RX® Oral/Enteral Syringes are substantially equivalent to the predicate BD Oral/Enteral Sryinge with BD UniVia Connection (K112434). Both proposed and predicate devices have the same intended use to be used by a healthcare professional to measure and administer oral medication and enteral nutrition. Both the proposed device and the predicate device are manufactured from equivalent materials and feature distinct enteral connectors that are not compatible with luer devices or other small bore non-luer devices. The MED-RX® Oral/Enteral Syringes and the BD Oral/Enteral Sryinge with BD UniVia Connection are single-use, sterile devices, packaged in peelable pouches and sterilized using gamma radiation. There are no significant differences between the

proposed MED-RX® Oral/Enteral Syringes and the predicate device, BD Oral/Enteral Srvinge with BD UniVia Connection (K112434). Therefore the proposed device can be considered substantially equivalent to a legally marketed device.

Non-Clinical Test Summary

Verification of functional performance of the MED-RX® Oral/Enteral Syringes has been performed. The MED-RX® Oral/Enteral Syringes were subject to numerous performance tests including device functionality, device compatibility with luer and other small bore non-luer devices, cap resistance to leakage, separation of the cap during typical storage conditions, and for natural rubber latex content. All bench testing was successfully completed on both configurations of the MED-RX® Oral/Enteral Syringe: the overmold enteral tip syringe and the enteral tip syringe.

Summary of Sterilization

Each MED-RX® Patient Delivery Set is individually packaged using a medical grade film pouch and sterilized using gamma radiation to a sterility assurance level of 1 x 10°. The radiation dose has been validated as per ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11137-1: 2006.

Summary of Biocompatibility Tests

Biocompatibility testing was successfully completed on sterile finished devices. The MED-RX® Oral/Enteral Syringes are classified as limited duration, mucosal membrane contacting devices. Both configurations of the MED-RX® Oral/Enteral Syringe were tested for biocompatibility. A summary of the testing completed and the relevant standards are listed in Table 1.

Dear Cheryl Brown,

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 (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) 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. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing 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 statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.
