The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical safety features and bench testing, with no mention of AI/ML algorithms or data processing.
No.
The device is an accessory for pre-filled syringes designed to prevent needlestick injuries, not to treat a disease or condition.
No
The device is described as an accessory for syringes, designed to prevent needlestick injuries, not to diagnose medical conditions. Its function is purely mechanical safety.
No
The device description clearly states it consists of three physical components: syringe holder, sleeve, and spring. It is an accessory for physical syringes.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is an "accessory with pre-filled ISO Standard glass syringes to aid in the protection of healthcare professionals, patients who self-inject doctor prescribed medications and individuals that assist seff-injecting patients, from accidental needlesticks." This describes a device used for safety and injury prevention during the administration of medication, not for diagnosing a condition or examining specimens from the human body.
- Device Description: The description reinforces this by explaining how the device covers the needle after injection to prevent sharps injury.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to test or analyze biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or to provide information about a patient's health status based on such analysis.
Therefore, the NovaGuard SA Pro Safety System is a medical device, but it falls under the category of a safety accessory for drug delivery, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Predicate Device:
NovaGuard SA Safety System 510(k) K141464.
Device Description:
The proposed device, NovaGuard SA Pro Safety System, is a non-sterile, single use anti needlestick accessory for pre-filled ISO standard glass syringes that are 1ml long with a max needle length of 5/8". The NovaGuard SA Pro Safety System consist of three components, syringe holder, sleeve and spring. The proposed device will be assembled along with the pre filled syringe by the pharmaceutical company. Upon completion of the injection, the needle is then covered by the sleeve protecting the user from potential sharps needle stick injury. There is a visual, tactile and audible recognition that the device safety feature has activated.
Indications for use:
Single use device that is indicated for use as an accessory with pre-filled ISO Standard glass syringes to aid in the protection of healthcare professionals, patients who self-inject doctor prescribed medications and individuals that assist self-injecting patients, from accidental needlesticks. The intended patient population is unrestricted and may include children and adults, and parenteral methods of administration.
Substantial equivalence:
Based on the indications for use, technology, materials of construction and principle of operation the proposed device, NovaGuard SA Pro Safety System, is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, NovaGuard SA Safety System 510(k) K141464.
The following modifications have been made to the predicate device, NovaGuard SA Safety System 510(k) K14146:
- . Syringe holder modifications to implement integrated clip features instead of a separate clip component.
- . Syringe holder modifications to aid in the molding and assembly process and to smooth the syringe holder fingers profile.
The predicate device. NovaGuard SA Safety System (K141464) includes a separate clip component. The proposed device, NovaGuard SA Pro Safety System includes an integrated clip feature on the syringe holder instead of a separate clip component. This change was implemented to facilitate the pharmaceutical manufacturer assembly process of the proposed device, NovaGuard SA Pro Safety System, with their prefilled syringe. This device modification eliminates the need to assemble a clip component as a separate operation.
