The device description and intended use clearly define a simple, empty container for intravenous solutions. There is no mention of any computational or analytical capabilities, let alone AI/ML. The "Not Found" entries for AI/ML mentions and training/test data further support this conclusion.
No.
This device is an empty container used for the administration of intravenous solutions, acting as a storage and delivery mechanism rather than providing a therapeutic effect itself.
Is this device a diagnostic device?
No
The device is an empty container used for the administration of intravenous solutions and medications, not for diagnosis.
No
The device description clearly describes a physical container (bag) made of EVA material, intended for holding and administering intravenous solutions. There is no mention of software components or functionality.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the administration of intravenous solutions to a patient. This is a therapeutic or delivery function, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the physical characteristics of the bag as a container for fluids and how it is used to deliver those fluids intravenously. There is no mention of analyzing samples from the body or providing information for diagnosis.
- Lack of Diagnostic Elements: The description does not mention any components or processes related to testing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information.
IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device is a container for delivering substances into the body, not for analyzing substances from the body.

Device Description
The Empty EVA Bag is an empty container used for administration of intravenous solutions to the patient using an intravascular administration set. Medication transfer in and out of the container is done using aseptic technique.
The empty bags are filled by connecting them to containers - generally glass bottles closed by a pierceable membrane - containing one or more solutions through standard spikes and tubing. After filling, the transfer set is removed and the bags are clamped by means of inviolable clamps to secure the contents prior to their administration. To make the fluid outflow from the bag towards the patient, the container can be then attached to an intravascular administration set via the spike port and twist - off connector.
When the bag is already filled, other medications can be added using the injection port. The bags range in volume capacity from 150 ml to 5000 ml.
The device is sold sterile and cannot be re-used or re-sterilized; it is discarded after use. The Empty EVA Bag is intended for use by qualified staff.

SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE DISCUSSION:
The Empty EVA Bags are same or similar in materials, design and intended use to the predicate device (K101412).
The indications for use for the predicate device (TPN solution) are narrow er in comparison to the proposed indications for use for the subject device (general intravenous solution). This difference in the indications for use between the subject device and the predicate devices is not critical since both the devices are empty containers made of Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) material intended for administration of solutions to patient using an intravascular administration set.
Expanding the IFU from TPN to general use does not affect the safety and effectiveness of the device, as also proved by the additional biocompatibility tests performed on the subject device to assess the subacute/subchronic toxicity endpoints considering that patients may repeatedly use the Empty EVA Bag and its replacements for general intravenous solutions.
The non-clinical tests performed on the Empty Eva Bags demonstrate that the proposed general IFU raises no different questions of safety and effectiveness as compared to its predicate device.
The subject device has the same technological characteristics and design as the predicate device: both the devices include a tube and a connector to the transfer set, an inviolable clamp that closes the bag outflow after transfer, an injection port which allows injection of fluids when the bag is already filled and a spike port which allows the fluid to outflow from the bag towards the patient for administration.
The Empty EVA Bags cannot be used for more than 24 hours and are intended for use by qualified staff, just as the predicate device.

DISCUSSION OF NON CLINICAL TESTS
Non clinical tests were conducted to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device. The test results demonstrated that the proposed device complies with the applicable sections of the standards listed below:
Biocompatibility:
The materials used to manufacture the subject device are the same as those used for the predicate device.
Biocompatibility has been tested according to the requirements of ISO 10993-1, "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices, Part 1: Evaluation and Testing"
The following biocompatibility tests were performed:
- Cytotoxicity, ISO 10993-5:2009: "Biological evaluation of medical devices Part 5: Tests for in o vitro cytotoxicity"
- ロ Sensitization and Intracutaneous reactivity, ISO 10993-10: 2010: "Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 10: Tests for irritation and skin sensitization"

- ם Subacute/Subchronic Toxicity, ISO 10993-11: "Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 11: Tests for systemic toxicity"
Sterilization Validation:
Sterilization validation process was performed on the subject EVA Empty Bag according to Recognized Consensus Standard:
-
AAMI / ANSI / ISO 11135-1:2014, Sterilization of health care products -Ethylene oxide Part 1: ロ Requirements for the development, validation, and routine control of a sterilization process for medical devices.
The subject device was tested for EO and ECH residuals according to: -
ם ISO 10993-7:2008 Biological evaluation of medical devices- Part 7: Ethylene oxide sterilization residuals.
Bacterial Endotoxin and Rabbit Pyrogen Testing:
LAL test was performed according to:
- USP 39th ed. 2016: Bacterial Endotoxins Test 0
- ם USP 39th ed. 2016: Transfusion and infusion assemblies and similar medical devices
- ם USP 38 Pyrogen Test
- ם ISO 10993-11:2017 Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 11: Tests for systemic toxicity

Performance tests:
The subject device was tested in order to verify compliance with:
- ロ ISO 15747:2010 "Plastic containers for intravenous injections", as follows: Resistance to temperature stability and pressure, Resistance to leakage, Transparency, Water vapour permeability, Removal of injection site protection ability, Tightness of the injection point, Tightness of the Hanger, Legibility of the characters, Particle Leak Test
- ロ ISO 8536-4:2013 "Infusion equipment for medical use- Part 4: Infusion sets for single use, gravity feed"
- Evaluation of functional conformity in contact with "Sodium Chloride 0.9% water for injections"
- Evaluation of compatibility test (plastic migration) in contact with parenteral solution "ALL-IN-ONE solution" (OLIOCLINOMEL N4-550E-Baxter Healthcare)
- Evaluation of compatibility test (drug stability) in contact with parenteral solution "ALL-IN-ONE solution" (OLIOCLINOMEL N4-550E-Baxter Healthcare)
CONCLUSION:
Valmed believes that the submitted Empty EVA bag is substantially equivalent in its intended use, design, component materials, function, biocompatibility, sterility assurance level and packaging to the currently cleared predicate device based on the supported nonclinical testing.
