More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a prefilled syringe with Heparin Lock Flush Solution and a change to the stopper material. There is no mention of AI or ML technology in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

Yes
The device is intended for "maintenance of patency of vascular access devices," which is a preventative measure to ensure proper function of medical equipment, thereby contributing to patient treatment and care.

No

Explanation: The device is a heparin lock flush solution intended for maintaining the patency of vascular access devices. Its purpose is to prevent clots and keep the device open, which is a therapeutic or maintenance function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical syringe prefilled with a solution, and the submission focuses on a change to a physical component (the stopper material). There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component of the device.

Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is explicitly stated as "maintenance of patency of vascular access devices only." This is a therapeutic or maintenance function performed directly on the patient's vascular system, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a prefilled syringe containing a solution for flushing vascular access devices. This aligns with a medical device used for patient care, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health condition.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device's function is purely mechanical/chemical in maintaining the function of a medical device (the vascular access device) within the patient.

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

Modifications to BD PosiFlush™ Heparin Lock Flush Syringe were evaluated using a risk management process. This risk assessment process was performed in accordance with ISO14971. The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.

Biocompatibility evaluation was conducted in accordance with the FDA Guidance Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, "Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process," June 16, 2016. The battery of testing included the following tests and assessments. Cytotoxicity (per ISO10993-5), Hemolysis (per ISO10993-4). Acute systemic toxicity (per ISO10993-11), Sub-Chronic Toxicity (Per ISO10993-11), Intracutaneous reactivity (per ISO10993-10), Ocular irritation (per ISO 10993-10), Partial thromboplastin Time (ISO10993-4). Sensitization (per ISO10993-10). Pvrogenicity (per ISO 10993-11), Genotoxicity (per ISO 10993-3) and Chemical extractable analysis (per ISO 10993-18).

Design Verification testing was also conducted to ensure the device met the predetermined acceptance criteria for the following tests; Container Closure Integrity, Break Loose/Break Out/Sustaining force, Stopper Separation, Leakage, Pump Force, Ship Test, Dead Space, Syringe Induced Reflux were performed to demonstrate that the subject device met predetermined acceptance criteria per BD's internal specification.

The BD PosiFlush™ Heparin Lock Flush Syringes have been verified to meet the established performance criteria above. The results of design verification testing demonstrate that the modifications made to the subject device do not affect the safety and efficacy of the device and demonstrated the same intended use, fundamental scientific technology and operating principles.
