Intended Use
The device is indicated for use as a dispenser, a measuring device and a fluid transfer device. It is used to deliver fluids into the body via extension sets and feeding tubes in neonatal and small pediatric patients.
Device Description
The NeoMed NeoConnect™ Enteral Syringes are standard piston style syringes consisting of a syringe barrel with integral ENFit syringe tip, syringe plunger, syringe gasket, and supplied with a syringe tip cap. They are provided in varying sizes ranging from 0.5ml to 100ml nominal capacity. The integral syringe tip is a female ENFit connector which is compatible only with feeding tubes and extension sets that have ENFit male connectors to form a dedicated system that prevents wrong-route administration of fluids. They possess translucent barrels to provide visualization of fluid contents and volume.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and physical properties of a standard syringe, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is described as a dispenser, measuring device, and fluid transfer device used to deliver fluids. It does not exert any direct therapeutic action on the body.

No

The device is described as a dispenser, measuring device, and fluid transfer device used to deliver fluids into the body. This function does not involve diagnosing conditions or identifying diseases.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (syringe barrel, plunger, gasket, tip cap) and the performance studies focus on physical characteristics and functionality of these components, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for dispensing, measuring, and transferring fluids into the body via extension sets and feeding tubes. This is a direct interaction with the patient's body for therapeutic or nutritional purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details a standard syringe with an ENFit connector designed for enteral feeding. This is a delivery mechanism for substances into the gastrointestinal tract.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. IVDs are typically used to analyze blood, urine, tissue, etc., outside of the body.

Therefore, the NeoMed NeoConnect™ Enteral Syringe is a medical device used for administering fluids to patients, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.
