Intended Use
The proposed device is indicated for use as a dispenser, a measuring device, and a fluid transfer device. It is used to deliver fluids into the gastrointestinal system of a patient who is physically unable to eat and swallow. The enteral syringes are intended to be used in clinical or home care setting by users ranging from laypersons (under the supervision of a clinician) to clinicians, in all age groups.
Device Description
The proposed device is a disposable enteral feeding syringe provided in a variety of sizes from 1ml~60ml. This device incorporates a female ENFit connection to an enteral access device with male ENFit connector. The propsoed syringe is sterilized by Ethylene Oxide Gas to achieve a SAL of 10 and supplied sterility maintenance package which could maintain the sterility of the device during the shelf life of five years.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and material properties of a syringe, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No.
The device is described as a dispenser, measuring device, and fluid transfer device used to deliver fluids. It is not described as treating, preventing, or mitigating a disease or condition.

No.
The device is described as a dispenser, measuring device, and fluid transfer device, used to deliver fluids for feeding, not to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a disposable enteral feeding syringe, which is a physical hardware device. The performance studies also focus on physical properties and testing of the syringe hardware.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is used to "deliver fluids into the gastrointestinal system of a patient". This is a direct interaction with the patient's body for therapeutic or supportive purposes.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. They are used outside the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The description of the enteral feeding syringe and its connection to an enteral access device further confirms its use for delivering substances into the body.

The device described is a medical device used for patient care, specifically for enteral feeding, which is a form of delivering nutrition or medication directly into the digestive system. This falls under the category of medical devices used for treatment or support, not for diagnostic testing of samples.

Product Comparison Summary

The proposed device and predicate device are intended for patients who require enteral nutrition due to illness or injury which prevents normal chewing and swallowing. These products are enteral syringes that have the same smalll-bore connector, similar intended use and product specification

The difference between the proposed device and predicate device is the size of the syringe; both the proposed device and the predicate device comply with the relevant international Standards. Therefore the differences on syringe size will not raise new problems on safety and effectiveness of the proposed device.

8. Substantially Equivalent (SE) Conclusion

Based on the comparison and analysis above, the proposed devices are determined to be Substantially Equivalent (SE) to the predicate device.
