Intended Use
The Stericycle Sharps Management Service Reusable Sharps Container is intended for use in health care facilities for the storage and transport for disposal of syringes and other medical sharps waste.
Device Description
The Stericycle Sharps Management Service Reusable Sharps Container is a single piece, reusable, sharps container that is intended to be used in health care facilities where medical sharps waste is generated. The container is injection molded of polypropylene copolymer with a uniform nominal thickness of 0.125". The container is available in 2 and 4 gallon sizes and in red or yellow color. The lid of the container is constructed so that the sharps waste is disposed safely and effectively by gravitational force when the waste is placed in the inner tray. The Stericycle Sharps Containers utilize a counterbalanced lid design that acts as a protective barrier to keep sharps objects within the container from coming back up through the lid and anyone from reaching into the container to retrieve sharps waste.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and safety features of a reusable sharps container, with no mention of AI or ML technology.

No
The device is a container for disposing of medical sharps waste, not for treating any medical condition.

No

The device is a container for storing and transporting medical sharps waste, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical container made of injection-molded polypropylene copolymer, which is a hardware component. The performance studies also focus on the physical properties and durability of the container.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is clearly stated as "storage and transport for disposal of syringes and other medical sharps waste." This is a physical containment and management function, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample from the human body.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical characteristics of a container designed for sharps disposal. It does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical integrity and safety of the container (vibration resistance, impact resistance, leak resistance, puncture resistance, stacking resistance, topple resistance). These are relevant to a sharps container, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting analytes, providing diagnostic information, or any other characteristic typically associated with an IVD.

An IVD is a medical device intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens derived from the human body in order to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This sharps container does not fit that definition.

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

The FDA has not established a performance standard for this product under Section 514. However, the Stericycle Sharps Management Service Reusable Sharps Container complies with criteria identified in FDA guidance documents. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards on blood borne pathogens, as outlined in 29 CFR 1910.1030, Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations controlling the transport of regulated medical waste as outlined in 49 CFR 173.197, and has passed nonclinical performance testing as summarized in the table below.

Testing Type (each test performed on both 2- and 4-gallon Container sizes):

  • Life-cycle testing: Subsequent to conditioning of units representative of reprocessing and transport of the 2- and 4-gallon Reusable Sharps Containers, the units were tested and evaluated for the following parameters:
    • Vibration Resistance: ISTA 3E, Result: Pass
    • Impact Resistance: The filled container maintains its integrity when dropped 4 ft. to a concrete surface and retains its solid contents., Result: Pass
    • Leak Resistance: The container loses no liquid over a 24-hour period., Result: Pass
    • Needle Puncture Resistance: ASTM F2132-01:2008, Result: Pass
  • DOT Vibration Resistance: 49 CFR 178.608, Result: Pass
  • DOT Impact Resistance: 49 CFR 178.603, Result: Pass
  • DOT Stacking Resistance: 49 CFR 178.606, Result: Pass
  • Topple Resistance: AS/NZS 4261:1994, Appendix D, Result: Pass

The collective results of the performance testing demonstrate that the Stericycle Sharps Management Service Reusable Sharps Container meets the established specifications necessary for consistent performance of its intended use throughout its planned lifetime and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

Dear Dr Adels:

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.
