No
The device description clearly indicates it is a physical sharps container made of injected molded parts, not software.
Based on the provided information, the MedSource Sharps Dart is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. They are used outside of the body (in vitro) to diagnose, monitor, or screen for diseases or conditions.
- MedSource Sharps Dart Function: The MedSource Sharps Dart is a container designed for the safe disposal of contaminated sharps (like syringes and needles). Its purpose is to protect users from injury and facilitate proper waste management. It does not perform any diagnostic testing or analysis of biological specimens.
The description clearly states its function is for the "storage, such sharps as small syringes, blood needles, lancets, and angio-caths prior to disposal consideration." This is a waste management and safety function, not a diagnostic one.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use

2. Device Description
The MedSource Sharps Dart (MSD) sharps container consists of two injected molded parts-a tubular tapered cone and a polypropylene closure. Its small size of 0.6 L qualifies it as a pocket sharps container as defined by ISO 23907 First Edition 2012-09-01, Sharps injury protection-Requirements and test

methods-Sharps containers. It is designed for the storage, such sharps as small syringes, blood needles, lancets, and angio-caths prior to disposal consideration. It's intended to be used in remote settings for sharps containers are not convenient and accessible such as EMS, home healthcare, etc. It is a single use device.
The MSD sharps container was designed using the above standard, ISO 23907, and its design includes the required features specified in the standard. It meets the performance requirements for the standard. In addition, it has also been tested by an independent laboratory to meet the requirements for puncture resistance specified in ASTM F2132-01 (Re-approved in 2008). Both standards are FDA recognized.
The predicate device, Covidien Sharps Shuttle, was selected because of its tubular-conical configuration with a polypropylene hinge-closure , which is very similar to the construction of the MedSource Sharps Dart. They are also similar in their weight and dimensions. When comparing such factors as Indications for Use, Performance, Technology, and method of manufacture, the data shows substantial equivalence between both the Covidein Sharps Shuttle and the MedSource Sharps Dart.
Although both devices are considered to be substantially equivalent, they have been or are being cleared at different periods of regulation. At the time that the predicate device was approved, there was not an FDA recognized standard for sharps container. However, Medsource Sharps Dart was designed following FDA recognized standards for the products with respect to puncture resistance testing and leak testing.
