No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and material properties of a syringe, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
No.
The device is described as a "dispenser, a measuring device and a fluid transfer device" used to "deliver fluids into the body enterally," which are functions of a medical device, not a therapeutic device. It does not exert a therapeutic effect itself.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a dispenser, a measuring device, and a fluid transfer device used to deliver fluids enterally, indicating a therapeutic or delivery function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly describes physical syringes with specific capacities and connectors, indicating it is a hardware medical device. The performance studies also focus on physical properties and testing of the syringe hardware.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for dispensing, measuring, and transferring fluids into the body enterally. This is a direct interaction with the patient for therapeutic or nutritional purposes, not for examining specimens in vitro (outside the body) to obtain diagnostic information.
- Device Description: The description details a syringe designed for delivering fluids into the gastrointestinal tract, consistent with enteral feeding or medication administration.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information.
IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to diagnose diseases, monitor health, or determine treatment. This device's function is to deliver substances into the body.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use

DEVICE DESCRIPTION IV.
The Enteral Syringe with ENFit Connector (10 ml to 60 ml) and the Enteral Syringe with ENFit Low Dose Tip (1 ml to 5 ml) are both sterile, standard piston style enteral syringes with an integrated female ENFit compatible connector compliant to the requirements of ISO DIS 80369-3, First Edition, Small-bore Connectors for Liquids and Gases in Healthcare Applications – Part 3: Connectors for Enteral Applications and designed to be compatible with male ENFit connectors.
The Enteral Syringe with ENFit Connector has capacities of 10, 20, 30 and 60 ml and is available in two different connector confiqurations: Centerline and Offset.
The Enteral Syringe with ENFit Low Dose Tip is a low dose syringe and has capacities of 1. 3 and 5 ml. The ENFit Lose Dose tip is a modification of the ENFit connector designed for the delivery of low doses of fluids for enteral feeding.
V. INDICATIONS FOR USE
The device is indicated for use as a dispenser, a measuring device and a fluid transfer device. It is used to deliver fluids into the body enterally. It is intended to be used in clinical or home care settings by users ranging from clinicians to laypersons (under the supervision of a clinician) for patients in all age groups.
VI. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE
Both the subject Enteral Syringe with ENFit Connector (10 ml to 60 ml) and Enteral Syringe with ENFit Low Dose Tip (1 ml to 5 ml) devices and predicate Oral/Enteral Syringes with ENFit Connector (12 ml to 100 ml) and Low Dose Tip Oral/Enteral Syringes with ENFit Connector (0.5 ml to 6 ml) devices are a standard piston-style syringe with an integral female ENFit Connector. The ENFit Connector for both the VR Medical and NeoMed devices were designed to be compliant with ISO DIS 80369-3, First Edition, Small-bore Connectors for Liquids and Gases in Healthcare Applications – Part 3: Connectors for Enteral Applications.
Both the Enteral Syringe with ENFit Low Dose Tip (1 ml to 5 ml) and predicate Low Dose Tip Oral/Enteral Syringes with ENFit Connector (0.5 ml to 6 ml) incorporate the same ENFit low dose tip design to ensure accuracy when dispensing small volumes.
The ENFit connectors on both the subject and predicate devices are compatible only with enteral access devices or accessories having ENFit compliant or compatible male connectors to prevent misconnections to non-enteral devices. Both the subject and predicate devices are available in both sterile and non-sterile versions.
