Intended Use
The AMSure® Enteral Feeding Syringe with ENFit Tip is indicated for use as a dispenser, a measuring device, and a fluid transfer device. It is used to deliver fluids into the gastrointestinal system of a patient who is physically unable to eat and swallow. The enteral syringes are intended to be used in clinical or home care settings by users ranging from laypersons (under the supervision of a clinician) to clinicians in adults only.
Device Description
The AMSure® Enteral Feeding Syringes with ENFit Tip are standard piston style syringes consisting of a syringe barrel with ENFit syringe nozzle, syringe plunger, syringe stopper and protective cap. The devices are made with polypropylene and polyisoprene rubber. The plunger can be linearly pulled and pushed along the inside wall of the barrel, allowing the syringe to take in and expel fluid through the nozzle at the front end of the barrel. The integral syringe nozzle has a female ENFit connector designed to be compatible only with enteral access devices or accessories having ENFit compliant or compatible male connectors to form a dedicated system that prevents wrong-route administration of fluids. The Enteral Feeding Syringes with ENFit Tip have a capacity of 60mL for single-use. The devices are provided either sterilized by EtO or non-sterile.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and material properties of a standard syringe, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No.
The device is described as a dispenser, measuring device, and fluid transfer device used to deliver fluids into the gastrointestinal system and its functions are mechanical in nature, not therapeutic.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a dispenser, measuring device, and fluid transfer device used to deliver fluids into the gastrointestinal system. Its stated purpose is for feeding, not for detecting, monitoring, or diagnosing a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components made of polypropylene and polyisoprene rubber, and the performance studies detail testing of these physical attributes. There is no mention of software as a component or function of the device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "deliver fluids into the gastrointestinal system of a patient." This is a direct interaction with the patient's body for therapeutic or nutritional purposes.
  • Device Description: The device is a syringe designed for delivering fluids.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD is a medical device used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This device does not perform any such tests on samples.

The device is clearly intended for administering substances into the body, not for analyzing samples from the body.

The enteral syringe to be used in clinical or home care settings by users ranging from laypersons (under the supervision of a clinician) to clinicians in adults only.

5 Indications for Use

The AMSure® Enteral Feeding Syringe with ENFit Tip is indicated for use as a dispenser, a measuring device, and a fluid transfer device. It is used to deliver fluids into the gastrointestinal system of a patient who is physically unable to eat and swallow. The enteral syringes are intended to be used in clinical or home care settings by users ranging from laypersons (under the supervision of a clinician) to clinicians in adults only.

6 Product Comparison Summary

The proposed AMSure® Enteral Feeding Syringe with ENFit Tip and the predicate device are intended for patients who require enteral nutrition due to illness or injury which prevents normal chewing and swallowing. These products are enteral syringes that have the same intended use, similar indications for use, the same function, and the same general characteristics.

The technological characteristics of the proposed devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate Monoject™ Enteral Feeding Syringe with ENFit Connector (K160419).

Four of the six syringe models are non-sterile and are for single patient use for up to 8 uses within 24 hours when cleaned according to the cleaning instructions provided in the Instructions for Use. The cleaning procedure was validated according on FDA's 2015 Guidance document titled "Reprocessing Medical Devices in Health Care Settings: Validation Methods and Labeling", and also tested to demonstrate the same performance after cleaning (8 washes within 24 hours) as the predicate device (K160419). The difference from the predicate device (cleaning procedure) does not impact safety and effectiveness. The performance of the proposed device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
