Intended Use
The Kurin Blood Culture Collection Set is a winged blood collection needle with flexible tubing intended for venipuncture to obtain blood samples. It is provided with a safety shield for covering the used venipuncture needle prior to disposal to aid in the prevention of needlestick injury if manually activated after the blood collection, the set also includes a safety shield and apparatus for connection to vacuum based collection vials.
Device Description
The Kurin device is a sterile, single use blood culture collection set. The Kurin includes a winged needle with flexible tubing and an attached vial adapter intended for venipuncture to obtain blood culture samples. Kurin is identical in every way to existing sets used to collect blood culture samples except for the insertion into the tubing of the Kurin blood capture chamber. The Kurin blood capture device sequesters the initial draw of blood upon initial venipuncture. The set is provided with a safety shield for covering the used needle prior to disposal. The amount of blood diverted is very small, estimated at a fraction of 1 ml.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical components and functionality of a blood collection set, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device is described as a blood culture collection set intended for venipuncture to obtain blood samples, and its function is to collect blood samples, not to treat a disease or condition.

No
Explanation: The device is intended for collecting blood samples and sequesters initial blood draw; it does not perform any diagnostic function itself.

No

The device description clearly states it is a sterile, single-use blood culture collection set including a winged needle, tubing, and a blood capture chamber. This is a physical medical device, not software.

Based on the provided information, the Kurin Blood Culture Collection Set is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "for venipuncture to obtain blood samples." This describes a device used for collecting a biological sample, not for performing a diagnostic test on that sample.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical components of the blood collection set, including the needle, tubing, safety features, and a "blood capture chamber" that sequesters a small amount of blood. It does not describe any components or processes for analyzing the blood or providing diagnostic information.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: The device's function is to collect blood. While the collected blood may be used for subsequent in vitro diagnostic testing (like blood cultures), the Kurin device itself does not perform the diagnostic test.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies listed focus on the physical and functional aspects of the collection set (sterilization, shelf life, leakage, flow rate, biocompatibility, etc.). There are no studies related to diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, or other metrics typically associated with IVD devices.
  • Predicate Devices: The predicate devices listed are also blood collection sets and adapters, which are not IVD devices.

In summary, the Kurin Blood Culture Collection Set is a device used to collect a sample that can then be used for in vitro diagnostic testing, but it does not perform the diagnostic test itself. Therefore, it is not an IVD device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Non-Clinical Testing:

  • Sterilization: The Kurin device is sterilized using a validated EO sterilization process which complies with ISO 11135-1:2006.
  • Aging/Shelf Life Test: The Kurin device was validated to achieve 1-year shelf life with protocols for up to 3 years of shelf life for sterility and performance.
  • Functional, Leakage and Tensile Test: The Kurin set confirmed the addition of the Kurin device shows no compromise to the function of the blood collection device in regards to functionality. With the addition of the device the product does not leak and passed tensile testing in accordance with sections 5.2 and 5.3 of ISO 1135-3.
  • Packaging Integrity and Shipping Test: This test was completed and the Kurin device passed all tests in accordance with ISO 11607 and ASTM D4169-14.
  • Biocompatibility Tests: The Kurin device passed two types of biocompatibility tests: the MEM Elution Test demonstrated that no leachables are present from the system and the IVH Blood Count Test which demonstrated that the blood path did not adversely affect the constituents of blood exposed to the systems fluid path.
  • User Verification Test: Testing was conducted to evaluate if the instructions for use were easy to understand and the functionality of the device.
  • Flow Rate Test: Testing verified that the addition of the Kurin Device into the tubing of the FDA cleared BD Vacutainer® brand blood collection set and Safety-Lok™ Blood Collection set did not change the flow rate of liquid passing through the device.

Clinical Testing:
No clinical test data is required of the Proposed Device.

N. Non-Clinical Testing

All testing met specifications for the subject device and demonstrates substantial equivalence to the predicates.

    1. Sterilization – The Kurin device is sterilized using a validated EO sterilization process which complies with ISO 11135-1:2006 Sterilization of health care products – Ethylene Oxide – Part 1: Requirements for development, validation and routine control of a sterilization process for medical devices.
  • Aging/Shelf Life Test– The Kurin device was validated to achieve 1-year shelf life with protocols 2. for up to 3 years of shelf life for sterility and performance.
    1. Functional, Leakage and Tensile Test – The Kurin set confirmed the addition of the Kurin device shows no compromise to the function of the blood collection device in regards to functionality. With the addition of the device the product does not leak and passed tensile testing in accordance with sections 5.2 and 5.3 of ISO 1135-3 - Transfusion equipment for medical use --Part 3: Blood-taking set for single use.
  • Packaging Integrity and Shipping Test This test was completed and the Kurin device passed all 4. tests in accordance with ISO 11607 and ASTM D4169-14.
    1. Biocompatibility Tests – The Kurin device passed two types of biocompatibility tests: the MEM Elution Test demonstrated that no leachables are present from the system and the IVH Blood Count Test which demonstrated that the blood path did not adversely affect the constituents of blood exposed to the systems fluid path.
    1. User Verification Test - Testing was conducted to evaluate if the instructions for use were easy to understand and the functionality of the device.
    1. Flow Rate Test – Testing verified that the addition of the Kurin Device into the tubing of the FDA cleared BD Vacutainer® brand blood collection set and Safety-Lok™ Blood Collection set did not change the flow rate of liquid passing through the device.
