Intended Use
The Merit 10mL Syringe is used to inject fluids into, or withdraw fluids from, the body.
Device Description
The Merit 10mL Syringe is a device consisting of a calibrated hollow barrel into which is inserted a closely fitted movable plunger and seal. The barrel contains a male Luer lock connector (which conforms to ISO 594-1 & 2 standards) which is compatible for attaching devices with standard female Luer hubs.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical and material properties, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is used for injecting or withdrawing fluids, which is a common medical procedure, but it does not inherently treat diseases or conditions.

No
Explanation: The device is a syringe used for injecting or withdrawing fluids, which is a therapeutic or procedural function, not a diagnostic one. It does not analyze physiological data or provide information about a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical syringe with a barrel, plunger, and Luer lock connector, which are hardware components.

Based on the provided information, the Merit 10mL Syringe is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "inject fluids into, or withdraw fluids from, the body." This describes a direct interaction with the patient's body, not the examination of specimens in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description details a syringe for fluid handling within the body.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens, diagnostic purposes, or any of the typical characteristics of an IVD device.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens such as blood, urine, or tissue to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The Merit 10mL Syringe is a medical device used for administering or collecting substances directly from a living organism.
