No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical and material properties, sterilization, and risk management, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No

The device is an infusion set and needle set used for administering fluids and drugs, and for blood sampling, through surgically implanted vascular ports. While it facilitates the delivery of therapeutics, it is a tool for administration rather than a therapeutic device itself.

No
The device is an infusion set used for administering fluids, drugs, and for blood sampling. It does not perform diagnostic functions.

No

The device description clearly details physical components such as needles, tubing, Luer caps, adapters, pinch clamps, and a safety guard handle and base, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states the device is an "intravascular administration set" used for "accessing surgically implanted vascular ports," "administration of fluids and drugs," "blood sampling," and "power injection of contrast media."
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: The device's function is to facilitate access to the vascular system and administer or withdraw substances. It does not perform any analysis or testing of a specimen in vitro (outside the body).

The device is a medical device used for accessing and interacting with the patient's vascular system, not for diagnostic testing of biological samples.

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

Testing was performed to show that the kit components maintain their biological safety and functional efficacy after ethylene oxide (EO) sterilization. The kit components met all predetermined acceptance criteria. Risk management, including a failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA), of the subject devices was conducted in accordance with BS EN ISO 14971:2012, Medical Devices – Risk Management for Medical Devices. The risks were analyzed, mitigated and reduced to an acceptable level, and re-evaluation showed that the remaining risks are outweighed by the benefits of the device, and that the device is acceptable for its intended use.

4 Component is included in kits as a post-sterile operation; it is sterilized separately, prior to kitting.

Testing was performed to show that the kit components maintain their biological safety and functional efficacy after ethylene oxide (EO) sterilization. The kit components met all predetermined acceptance criteria. Risk management, including a failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA), of the subject devices was conducted in accordance with BS EN ISO 14971:2012, Medical Devices – Risk Management for Medical Devices. The risks were analyzed, mitigated and reduced to an acceptable level, and re-evaluation showed that the remaining risks are outweighed by the benefits of the device, and that the device is acceptable for its intended use.

| Summary of
Substantial
Equivalence | Based on the intended use, technological characteristics, and safety and performance testing, the
subject PowerLoc® MAX Power-Injectable Infusion Set and SafeStep® Huber Needle Set with or
without the stabilization accessory included in kit configurations, meet the requirements that are
considered sufficient for its intended use as compared to the predicate devices cited. Therefore, the
subject devices are substantially equivalent to the predicates. |
