The summary describes a mechanical needle with a safety feature and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.
No.
A therapeutic device is one that treats a disease or condition. This device is a needle for injection/aspiration and venipuncture, and its primary function is to aid in preventing needlestick injuries, not to treat a medical condition.
No
The device is a needle intended for general purpose fluid injection and/or aspiration, and venipuncture to obtain blood collection. Its purpose is not to diagnose conditions, but rather to facilitate medical procedures.
No
The device description clearly indicates a physical needle with a sharps injury prevention feature, which is a hardware component. The performance studies also focus on physical characteristics and functionality of the needle.
Based on the provided information, the Easy Point™ Needle is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "general purpose fluid injection and/or aspiration, and venipuncture to obtain blood collection." This describes a device used directly on a patient for therapeutic or diagnostic sample collection purposes, not for testing samples in vitro (outside the body).
- Device Description: The description reinforces the intended use for percutaneous injection, aspiration, and blood collection. It focuses on the physical characteristics and safety features related to these procedures.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze or test biological samples, reagents, or any other components typically associated with IVD devices.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The Easy Point™ Needle is a tool for obtaining the specimen, not for performing the diagnostic test itself.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Engineering Testing: Performance testing on the EasyPoint™ Needle was performed according to applicable design requirements of ISO 594-1, ISO 594-2, ISO 7864, ISO 7886 and ISO 9626. Those tests include, liquid leakage, air leakage, dead space and needle puncture force. Additional performance tests were developed by Retractable Technologies, Inc. to measure the functionality force, deactivation force, chamber strength/ rigidity, cannula/ hub bond strength.
Simulated Use Study: A simulated use pre-market study was performed to demonstrate through human factors validation testing that the EasyPoint™ Needle device performs safely and effectively when used by a variety of healthcare workers in a simulated use scenario.
Comparison of Technical Characteristics: The subject EasyPoint™ Needle utilizes a retraction based safety mechanism like the predicate device VanishPoint® Syringe. The 2nd predicate device, BD PrecisionGlide® single lumen needle is available as a stand-alone needle but does not have an integrated safety mechanism. The BD single lumen needle is also available as a needle/barrel combination syringe. The EasyPoint™ Needle will initially be sold as a stand-alone needle for use with luer fitting devices. The VanishPoint® Syringe and BD single lumen needle are commercially available in various needle length and gauge sizes. Biocompatibility testing has been performed on the EasyPoint™ Needle in accordance with ISO 10993 with acceptable results.

Substantial Equivalence:
Conclusion:
The operation, similar design and materials between the subject device and the predicate devices do not raise new issues of safety and effectiveness when used as labeled: The intended use of the subject and predicate devices is virtually identical. In engineering testing, the subject device performed as well or better than the predicate devices. The Simulated Use Study demonstrates that the subject device will perform as intended. The necessary Biocompatibility testing was performed with acceptable results and a Sterilization Validation was performed according to ISO 11137 to ensure sterility of (SAL 106). It is our opinion that the devices are substantially equivalent.
The EasyPoint™ Needle is substantially equivalent to the Vanish Point® Syringe and BD PrecisionGlide® single lumen needle. The intended uses are the same No new concerns regarding safety and effectiveness were raised.
