The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and material properties of a standard syringe, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
No
A syringe is a delivery device for substances, not a therapeutic device itself. Its intended use is for injecting or withdrawing fluids, which can include therapeutic agents, but the syringe itself does not provide therapy.
No
The device is a syringe, intended to inject or withdraw fluids from the body. Its function is to administer or extract substances, not to provide diagnostic information about a patient's condition.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components (barrel, plunger, stopper, lubricant, luer lock connector) and mentions testing against hardware standards (ISO 7886-1, ISO 594-1, etc.), indicating it is a physical medical device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, the Freedom™ Syringe is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "inject fluids into, or withdraw fluids from, the body." This describes a direct interaction with the human body for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes within the body, not for examining specimens outside the body.
- Device Description: The description details a standard syringe for fluid handling in a clinical setting. There is no mention of components or functions related to analyzing biological specimens.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are typically used to examine specimens such as blood, urine, tissue, etc., to provide information about a person's health. The Freedom™ Syringe does not perform any such analysis.
Therefore, the Freedom™ Syringe is a medical device, but it falls under a different classification than an IVD.

Device Description
The Freedom™ Syringe is a single-use medical device consisting of a calibrated hollow barrel and movable plunger (piston). The plunger contains a rubber stopper on the end that is positioned within the syringe barrel. A small amount of medical-grade silicone is used as a lubricant. The lubricant, stopper on the end of the plunger, and the syringe barrel are the components which make contact with the fluid path of the device. The syringe barrel contains a standard male luer lock connector that is compatible with standard female luer hubs. Freedom™ Syringes have a nominal capacity of 10ml, and are available sterile or non-sterile for further processing. The syringe is available in 5 different plunger colors: white, blue, red, yellow, or green.

Indications for Use
The Freedom™ Syringe is intended to inject fluids into, or withdraw fluids from, the body.
Device Description
The Freedom™ Syringe is a single-use medical device consisting of a calibrated hollow barrel and movable plunger (piston). The plunger contains a rubber stopper on the end that is positioned within the syringe barrel. A small amount of medical-grade silicone is used as a lubricant. The lubricant, stopper on the end of the plunger, and the syringe barrel are the components which make contact with the fluid path of the device. The syringe barrel contains a standard male luer lock connector that is compatible with standard female luer hubs. Freedom™ Syringes have a nominal capacity of 10ml, and are available sterile or non-sterile for further processing. The syringe is available in 5 different plunger colors: white, blue, red, yellow, or green.
Principles of Operation
Freedom™ Syringes are manually operated by the user through the advancement and/or withdrawal of the syringe plunger within the barrel. Syringe content volume is measured by the user through the printed scale on the outside of the syringe barrel. These operating principles are identical to that of the predicate device and the vast majority of piston syringes currently on the market.
Comparison to Predicate Device
The indications for use, technological characteristics, and principles of operation of the Freedom™ Syringe are substantially equivalent to those of the DMC Medical Single-Use Polycarbonate Syringe product line (predicate device). Both devices have been designed and tested to ensure compliance with the same set of consensus standards. The table on the following page provides additional comparison between the subject device (Freedom™ Syringe) and the predicate device (the DMC Medical Single-Use Polycarbonate Syringe).

intended to inject fluids into, or

| Commentary regarding Indications for Use | As seen within the row above, the Indications for Use for the predicate
device are not identical to the Indications for Use of the Freedom™™
Syringe. However, the Freedom™™ Syringe is a piston type, single use
syringe, and as such the differences between the two Indications for
Use are not considered to impact substantial equivalence. | |
Technological Differences between Predicate and Subject Device
The only known technological difference between the Freedom™ Syringe and the predicate device is the differing materials that make up the syringe barrel (as noted in the table above). The Copolyester material utilized in the Freedom™ Syringe has been tested according to all applicable standards and found to be equivalent to the polycarbonate syringe barrel used by the predicate device with respect to function and compliance with these standards.
