Intended Use
Jeesung safety syringe and single use needles is a sterile, single-use, disposable and non-reusable, manual retractable safety syringe intended for injection of fluids into the body, while reducing the risk of sharps injuries and the potential for syringe reuse.
Device Description
Jeesung Safety Syringe and Single Use Needles is an integrated needle and piston syringe with an anti-needle-stick mechanism. There is a swell on the top of inside barrel, which can be used to fix the hub of needle to the top of inside barrel. Four legs on the bottom of hub are caught on the swell part on the top of inside barrel when the hub is pulled. After using this syringe (such as injecting medicine into body etc.), the hub of needle is pulled back to the inside of the barrel. Because the four legs of hub is bound to the top of the plunger which has a smaller swell part than the top of inside barrel for being caught. Therefore, by pushing plunger until it makes a binding sound, the hub can follow with the plunger is broken off and the needle cannot be come out of the barrel. This renders the needle unusable and safe from accidental needle sticks. Jeesung Safety Syringe and Single Use Needles has syringe capacity of 3cc attached with 18-30 gauge and the length of the needle (8mm, 10mm, 13mm, 19mm, 25mm, 32mm, 38mm).
More Information

No
The device description details a purely mechanical safety mechanism for a syringe and needle. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

No
The device is a syringe for fluid injection, designed for safety and to prevent reuse, not to treat or diagnose a disease or condition.

No

The device is described as a safety syringe intended for the injection of fluids, not for diagnosis. Its mechanism focuses on preventing needle-stick injuries and reuse.

No

The device description clearly details a physical syringe with a mechanical safety mechanism, not a software application.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "for injection of fluids into the body". This describes a device used on or in the body for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes, not a device used to examine specimens from the body in a laboratory setting.
  • Device Description: The description details a syringe and needle designed for injecting substances and preventing needle sticks. This aligns with a medical device used for administering treatments or collecting samples from the body, not for testing those samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This device is for administering substances into the body.

4. Device Description

Jeesung Safety Syringe and Single Use Needles is an integrated needle and piston syringe with an anti-needle-stick mechanism. There is a swell on the top of inside barrel, which can be used to fix the hub of needle to the top of inside barrel. Four legs on the bottom of hub are caught on the swell part on the top of inside barrel when the hub is pulled.

After using this syringe (such as injecting medicine into body etc.), the hub of needle is pulled back to the inside of the barrel. Because the four legs of hub is bound to the top of the plunger which has a smaller swell part than the top of inside barrel for being caught. Therefore, by pushing plunger until it makes a binding sound, the hub can follow with the plunger is broken off and the needle cannot be come out of the barrel. This renders the needle unusable and safe from accidental needle sticks.

Jeesung Safety Syringe and Single Use Needles has syringe capacity of 3cc attached with 18-30 gauge and the length of the needle (8mm, 10mm, 13mm, 19mm, 25mm, 32mm, 38mm).

renders the needle unusable and safe

syringe barrel. After standard
techniques for injection, the plunger
is withdrawn completely into the
barrel and snapped off and the
needle is contained within the
puncture-resistant barrel. This
renders the needle unusable and safe
from accidental needle sticks.

The proposed and predicate devices are the same indications for use, principle of operation, Lubricant for Barrel, product configuration, lubricant for needle, sharp injury prevention feature. The proposed device syringe capacity includes 3cc which are within the range of the predicate syringe 0.5cc to 10cc. The subject device needle sizes are 18-30G and needle length 8, 10, 13, 16, 19, 25, 32, 38mm which are within the range of predicate needle gauge 18-31G and needle length 8-38mm. Therefore, these differences do not affect substantially equivalency between the proposed devices and predicate device.
