Integra® Miltex® N-Tralig® Intraligamentary Syringe is indicated to be used in conjunction with anesthetic needles and cartridges for injection of anesthetic into the periodontal ligament.
Device Description
The Integra® Miltex® N-Traligamentary Syringe is a cartridge syringe intended to inject anesthetic agents into the intraligamentary space (i.e., periodontal ligament). The device consists of a stainless steel syringe body into which a disposable, previously filled, glass carpule (a cylindrical cartridge) containing anesthetic is placed. After attaching a needle to the barrel cap, the device is used to administer an injection to the patient. The Integra® Miltex® N-Tralig® Intraligamentary Syringe delivers 0.2cc of anesthetic with each ratchet. The ratchet action of the syringe allows for the slow infiltration of anesthetic during the Periodontal Ligament Injection (PDL injection) to help minimize patient discomfort. The 30° adapter helps provide a better angle with difficult-to-reach injections. The syringe comes with a solid barrel and a window barrel.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical function and sterilization of a syringe, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes.
The device is used to inject anesthetic into the periodontal ligament to alleviate patient discomfort during dental procedures, which directly addresses a medical condition (pain) and provides relief.

No

This device is designed to inject anesthetic agents into the periodontal ligament, which is a therapeutic function rather than a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is a stainless steel syringe body with a mechanism for delivering anesthetic, which are physical hardware components. There is no mention of software as part of the device's function.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
  • Device Function: The Integra® Miltex® N-Tralig® Intraligamentary Syringe is a device used to administer a substance (anesthetic) into the body. It is not used to examine specimens taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the injection of anesthetic into the periodontal ligament, which is a therapeutic action, not a diagnostic one.

Therefore, based on the provided information, this device falls under the category of a medical device used for treatment, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

There are no significant differences in technology, intended use, or design between the subject devices and the predicates selected.

Performance Standards:

One standard has been promulgated under Section 514 of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act for cartridge syringes: ISO 7405 Second edition 2008-12-15, dentistry - evaluation of biocompatibility of medical devices used in dentistry as published in the Federal Register (Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997: Modifications to the List of Recognized Standards, Recognition List Number: 034; 01/30/2014).

The complete list of standards used to evaluate the Integra® Miltex® N-Tralig® Intraligamentary Syringe are as follows:

· AAMI TIR12:2010 – Designing, testing, and labeling reusable medical devices for reprocessing in health care facilities: A guide for medical device manufacturers

• AAMI TIR30:2011 – A compendium of processes, materials, test methods, and acceptance criteria for cleaning reusable medical devices

• ANSVAAMI/ISO 17665-1:2006/(R)2013 (EN ISO 17665-1:2006) – Sterilization of health care products - Moist heat - Requirements for the development, validation and routine control of sterilization process for medical devices (FDA 14-261)

  • ANSI/AAMI ST79:2010/A1:2010/A2:2011/A3:2012/A4:2013 Comprehensive guide to steam sterilization and sterility assurance in health care facilities (FDA 14-439)

• ISO 14971 - Medical devices - Application of risk management to medical devices (FDA 5-40)

• ISO 7153-1 – Surgical instruments -- Metallic materials -- Part 1: Stainless steel (FDA 8-344)

· ISO 7405 - Dentistry - Evaluation of biocompatibility of medical devices used in dentistry [Including: Amendment 1 (2013)] (FDA 4-212)

Non-Clinical Testing PerformedResults
Manual Cleaning ValidationPass
Pulse pre-vacuum sterilization validation at 132°C for 4 minutesPass
Pulse pre-vacuum sterilization validation at 134°C for 3 minutesPass
Gravity Displacement Steam Sterilization Validation at 132°C for 15 minutesPass

No biocompatibility testing was performed on the proposed devices as 420, 303, and 301 stainless steels are recognized as suitable stainless steels for surgical instruments, parts, and assemblies per ISO 7153-1. Stainless steel has a long history of safe and effective use, and has been used in other medical devices that have been cleared by the FDA.

Conclusions drawn from Non-Clinical Data:

All necessary testing has been performed on the Integra® Miltex® N-Tralig® Intraligamentary Syringe and the results support the conclusion that the subject devices are substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate devices based on intended use, materials, technology, and design and as such, do not raise any concerns of safety or effectiveness.
