The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and functionality of a pen needle for insulin injection, with no mention of AI or ML.
No.
This device is a pen needle, which is used for the delivery of a therapeutic substance (insulin) but does not itself provide a therapeutic effect. It is an accessory to a drug delivery system.
No
The device is a pen needle intended for the injection of insulin, which is a therapeutic action, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical medical device (pen needles) with hardware components (cannula, hub, shields, packaging) and manufacturing processes (injection molding, adhesive, lubrication, sterilization). There is no mention of software as a component or function of the device.
Based on the provided information, the Droplet® Pen Needles are not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the subcutaneous injection of insulin using a pen injector device. This is a direct administration of a substance into the body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
- Device Description: The description details a needle designed for injection, not for collecting or analyzing biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Testing of biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Detection or measurement of analytes
- Diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions based on sample analysis
IVD devices are used to perform tests outside of the body on samples taken from the body to provide information about a person's health. The Droplet® Pen Needles are used to deliver a substance into the body.

Device Description
The Droplet® Pen Needles are sterile, single use needles designed to be used with commercially available pen-injectors for the subcutaneous injection of insulin. Pen needles are used by consumers, caregivers and healthcare professionals. The pen needle assembly consists of a double-ended cannula that is assembled into an injection molded hub using adhesive. The hub has internal threads, which allow it to be screwedonto the pen injector device. This allows the cartridge end of the cannula to penetrate through the rubber septum of the cartridge. The patient end and the cartridge end of the cannula are lubricated using a silicone based lubricant for ease of injection and rubber septum penetration. There is an inner needle shield assembled over the patient end of the cannula to protect the needle point from damage and accidental needle sticks. There is also an outer protective container. Each pen needle assembly is protected with a peel away seal to provide a sterility barrier. To use a pen needle, the user needs to remove the seal, remove the outer protective cap and attach it to the pen injector. Then the user removes the inner protective cap to expose the needle and make an injection. Following the injection the user inserts the used pen needle into the outer cap to remove the pen needle from the pen injector and dispose of it immediately. The pen needle is individually packaged and sterilized with Gamma radiation. It is intended for single use only. Droplet® Pen Needles are available in the following lengths and gauges: 4 mm x 32G, 5 mm x 32G, 6 mm x 32G, 8 mm x 32G, 5 mm x 31G, 6 mm x 31G, 8 mm x 31G, 10 mm x 29G, 12 mm x 29G.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Verification/Validation testing was done according to the requirements of ISO 11608-2:2012. All testing met the applicable requirements, including tests for materials, dimensions, flow rate, bond between hub and needle tube, freedom from defects, lubrication, dislocation of measuring point at patient end, functional compatibility with needle-based injection systems, ease of assembly and disassembly, and pre-conditioning of needles. Biocompatibility testing (Cytotoxicity, Sensitization, Intracutaneous Reactivity, Haemocompatibility, System toxicity (acute), Subchronic toxicity (subacute toxicity)) was conducted based on ISO 10993-1 and successfully passed. Sterility testing ensured the device's sterility over its shelf life.
