No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and material properties of a standard syringe with an ENFit connector, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
No
The device is described as a standard piston syringe for measuring and administering enteral nutrition, which functions as a drug delivery vehicle rather than providing therapy itself.
No
The device is described as a standard piston syringe for administering enteral nutrition, not for diagnosis.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "standard piston syringe" made of physical materials (polypropylene, polyisoprene) and includes a physical connector and cap. The performance studies listed are all related to the physical properties and functionality of a hardware device.
Based on the provided information, the Medline ENFit Syringe is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "measure and administer enteral nutrition." This involves delivering substances directly into the gastrointestinal system, which is an in-vivo (within a living organism) process.
- Device Description: The description details a standard syringe with a specific connector for enteral feeding. It does not mention any components or functions related to testing samples of biological material outside the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Detecting or measuring specific analytes
- Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases
The device is clearly designed for the delivery of substances into the body, which falls under the category of medical devices used for treatment or administration, not in vitro diagnostics.

Dear Stephanie Blair:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

Device Description
The Medline ENFit Syringe is a standard piston syringe which incorporates an ENFit connector. The device incorporates a female ENFit connector for connection to an enteral access device. The Medline ENFit Syringe is designed to mate with a range of enteral feeding extension sets. The 3-piece design syringe consists of a polypropylene barrel and plunger rod and a polyisoprene stopper. The Medline ENFit syringe comes with a cap as other predicate devices seen below. The Medline ENFit syringe will be sold as non-sterile. The performance of the Medline ENFit Syringe is equivalent to the predicate devices.
Indications for Use
The Medline ENFit Syringe is intended to be used in clinical or home care settings by users ranging from clinicians to laypersons (under the supervision of a clinician) to measure and administer enteral nutrition.
Summary of Technological Characteristics
Medline ENFit Syringes are made of polypropylene and are non-sterile, single-use devices. In addition, the ENFit Syringe is made of semi-rigid materials to reduce the likelihood of forced fits between flexible connectors that are not intended to connect with each other, as recommended in FDA Final Guidance for Industry: Safety Considerations to Mitigate the Risks of Misconnections with Small-bore Connectors Intended for Enteral Applications (February 11, 2015).
In addition, Medline ENFit Syringes are similar in design, intended use, function and internal and external characteristics to the predicate device cleared under K142128. Covidien Kangaroo™ Enteral Feeding Syringes with ENFit connector, as well as K152857, NeoMed NeoConnect™ Enteral Syringes with ENFit™ Connector and compatible NeoSecure™ Tip Caps.
