More Information

Not Found

No
The device description explicitly states its function is mechanical, and there is no mention of AI, ML, or any computational processing in the summary.

No.
This device is described as a piston syringe used for injecting or withdrawing fluids, which is a mechanical function and does not provide a therapeutic effect itself beyond serving as a tool for administration or collection.

No

The device description indicates its function is mechanical, primarily for injecting or withdrawing fluids, which are actions associated with treatment or administration, not diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical syringe with a barrel, plunger rod, and gasket, and the performance studies focus on physical and biological characteristics of the hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "to inject fluids into or withdraw fluids from the body." This describes a device used for direct interaction with the body for therapeutic or diagnostic procedures, not for testing samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description details a mechanical device (syringe) for fluid handling. It doesn't mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information based on those samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of reagents, assays, sample analysis, or any other elements typically associated with IVD devices.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or screening purposes. This syringe does not fit that description.

807.92(b)(3)

Conclusions drawn from non-clinical and clinical tests:

There are no differences in fundamental scientific technology and operational mode.

There are non-significant differences in materials and physical specifications. The material change is due to the predicate materials not being able to withstand Ebeam sterilization and although there are slight dimensional changes the predicate and the subject device both remain in compliance with all aspects of ISO 7886-1 substantiating the claim of equivalence.

The results of the performance testing and the comparison of technological characteristics with the predicate device demonstrate that the Nipro Syringe with and without Needle performs equivalent to the predicate device when used as intended.

Dear Jessica Oswald-Mcleod:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm for the CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics/Division of Postmarket Surveillance.

For comprehensive regulatory information about mediation-emitting products, including information about labeling regulations, please see Device Advice (https://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/) and CDRH Learn (http://www.fda.gov/Training/CDRHLearn). Additionally, you may contact the Division of Industry and Consumer Education (DICE) to ask a question about a specific regulatory topic. See the DICE website (http://www.fda.gov/DICE) for more information or contact DICE by email (DICE@fda.hhs.gov) or phone (1-800-638-2041 or 301-796-7100).
