Intended Use
Oak Ridge Products Sharps containers are a single-use, disposable, non-sterile containers intended to be used for healthcare purposes for safe disposal of hazardous sharps such as hypodermic needles, syringes, lancets and blood needles. The target population is for trained healthcare professionals. The containers 0330-150S and 0370-1500 are intended to be used in areas where there is no unsupervised patient access. The 0330-150M container with the counterbalanced closure is intended to be used in areas that have unsupervised patient access.
Device Description
The Oak Ridge Products Sharps Containers are of injection molded polypropylene plastic, designed for a single-use by health care professionals. No part of the container is intended to come in contact with patients. The containers are designed to be puncture resistant. leak resistant on the sides and bottom, impact resistant, closable and stable. Large access openings allow for disposal of sharps with one hand use. The plastic used for the sharps containers are of a similar chemical formula as the comparable predicate devices and many of the sharps objects that will be placed within the container such as plastic syringe bodies. These containers are suitable for a terminal disposal by incineration and all materials used are fully consumable during incineration. The Oak Ridge Products Sharps Containers are made of three parts (a base, a lid, and a closure) that form a single unit. The lid and closure come preassembled with the base not attached. Parts are nested to together to reduce storage and shipping requirements. The health care facility performs the final assembly on-site by snapping the lid to the base.

The device is a sharps container, intended for the safe disposal of hazardous sharps, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is an injection molded polypropylene plastic container, which is a physical hardware product, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the safe disposal of hazardous sharps. This is a containment and safety function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical properties of the container (puncture resistant, leak resistant, etc.) and its function in holding sharps. It does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies are all related to the physical integrity and functionality of the container for sharps disposal (puncture resistance, leak resistance, impact resistance, etc.). There are no studies related to diagnostic accuracy or analysis of biological materials.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is typically used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not interact with or analyze such specimens.

The device is a container for waste disposal, specifically hazardous sharps waste.

Device Description

The Oak Ridge Products Sharps Containers are of injection molded polypropylene plastic, designed for a single-use by health care professionals. No part of the container is intended to come in contact with patients. The containers are designed to be puncture resistant. leak resistant on the sides and bottom, impact resistant, closable and stable. Large access openings allow for disposal of sharps with one hand use. The plastic used for the sharps containers are of a similar chemical formula as the comparable predicate devices and many of the sharps objects that will be placed within the container such as plastic syringe bodies. These containers are suitable for a terminal disposal by incineration and all materials used are fully consumable during incineration.

The Oak Ridge Products Sharps Containers are made of three parts (a base, a lid, and a closure) that form a single unit. The lid and closure come preassembled with the base not attached. Parts are nested to together to reduce storage and shipping requirements. The health care facility performs the final assembly on-site by snapping the lid to the base.

The Medium capacity container is offered with two different models. The model 0330-150S has a sliding closure which when fully snapped locks the access opening for final disposal. This configuration is intended for OR areas where a large easy access is required for disposal of sharps objects. The model 0330-150M uses a counter balanced door that is suitable for use with unrestricted patient access. Both devices are free standing or can be wall mounted with a locking wall bracket PN 1030-9904.

The Large container lid design allows for use as a conventional sharps container or disposal of larger sharps. This is accomplished by two closures. The lid is design in two regions which are connected by a large flexible hinge. The lid regions and hinge are molded as a single component.

For use as a standard sharps collector: The entire lid is snapped onto the base. The small opening and closure are used. This provides a high capacity sharps collector for small to moderate sized sharps objects. When the container is full the small closure is closed by pressing down on the three snaps marked on the closure. Once snapped the container is ready for disposal.

For use as a large sharps collector: One half of the lid is snapped onto the base, the other half is folded over leaving the large opening. A small strap and hook which is molded as part of the lid is used to keep the large closure in the open position. This allows one half of the lid to act as a large closure, allowing single hand disposal of large sharps objects. The flexible hinge area is covered on the underside of the lid by a guard that prevents sharps objects from penetrating the thinner hinge area of the lid. When the container is full, the strap is released. Both the large half lid and the small closure are snapped closed the container is ready for disposal.

Both the hinge guard and small aperture closer are installed at the time of manufacture and becomes integral to the lid assembly. The fastening method used is permanent and not removable by the user.

Lids and closures are uncolored translucent material allowing for a visual determination of fill level. The base is made from a high strength material to support the large capacity of the container. The recommended fill level is engraved onto the plastic and corresponds to the fill level line on the product identification label. Carrying handles are molded into the upper rim of the container allowing for fingers to be above the fill level.

8. Substantial Equivalence Discussion of Similarities and Differences:

The Oak Ridge Products Multi-Purpose Sharps Containers are similar to the Oak Ridge Products Sharps Containers in:

  • Intended use
  • . Target population
  • Materials ●
  • Design ●
  • Performance testing

9. Intended use comparison:

The intended use of the new Oak Ridge Products Multi-Purpose Sharps Container is the same as the predicate device. Oak Ridge Products Sharp Containers intended for the disposal of contaminated sharps waste in a healthcare facility.

10. Design and Material Comparison:

The design and functional characteristics of the Oak Ridge Products Sharps Containers and the predicate device are similar. The Oak Ridge Products Multi-Purpose Sharps Container parts are nestable and when assembled form a single unit. These units have features to prevent contact between user and the contents and are designed for a visual determination of the maximum capacity. None of the devices have features that bend, break, or shear needles. The devices are designed for a single use by a locking feature in the lid and closure or access door.

They are constructed of an injection molded polypropylene. Oak Ridge Products Sharps Containers are colored red with translucent lid that allows for a visual determination of content level.
