Intended Use
The Blood Collection Accessory (BUCA) is a single use, sterile and non invasive device used for connecting to venous access device for the collection of blood specimens.
Device Description
The Blood Collection Accessory (BUCA) is a single use device comprising of a holder made from polypropylene plastic with a male luer feature. A stainless-steel needle covered with a rubber sleeve is attached to the inside of the holder. The Blood Collection Accessory (BUCA) has a Holder that encases the Needle preventing any needle stick issue with user. The Holder of the Blood Collection Accessory (BUCA) also house the sample collection tube and protects the user or healthcare personnel from direct contact with blood specimen. The Adapter connected to the blood collection device for the blood transfer. The sample collection tube is inserted from the far end of the holder where the opening is located. This transfer is conducted until the required amount of blood is completed. The sample collection tube is then evacuated from the Blood Collection Accessory (BUCA) by pulling it away from the latter.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and material properties of a simple blood collection accessory, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is used for the collection of blood specimens, which is a diagnostic purpose, not therapeutic.

No

Explanation: The device is a blood collection accessory designed for collecting blood specimens. It does not perform any analysis or interpretation of the collected specimens, which are the functions of a diagnostic device. Its purpose is solely for sample acquisition.

No

The device description explicitly details physical components made of plastic and stainless steel, and the performance studies focus on physical properties and biocompatibility, not software functionality.

Based on the provided information, the Blood Collection Accessory (BUCA) is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the collection of blood specimens, not for the examination of the blood specimens to provide information about a physiological state, health, or disease.
  • Device Description: The device is a tool for physically collecting blood. It does not contain reagents, calibrators, or controls typically associated with IVD devices used for testing.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical characteristics of the device (luer lock, flow rate, holding strength, biocompatibility, sterilization) and its ability to collect blood effectively, not on the analytical performance of a diagnostic test.
  • Predicate Device: The predicate device (Vacutainer® Brand Multiple Sample Luer Adapter) is also a blood collection device, not an IVD.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on biological samples (like blood) to get diagnostic information. The BUCA is a tool used to obtain the biological sample.

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

Performance Data/Non-Clinical Testing:
The Blood Collection Accessory (BUCA) was tested for validation and verification of functions based on risk analysis and the results passed predetermined acceptance criteria.

Biocompatibility: Evaluated per the FDA Guidance titled Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, "Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process" - Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff issued in June 2016 with the following endpoints: Cytotoxicity, Sensitization, Irritation, Acute Systemic Toxicity, Pyrogenicity, Hemocompatibility (Coagulation, Platelets and Hemolysis).

Performance Data: Performance testing was carried out on the Blood Collection Accessory (BUCA) using applicable international standards as reference and predicate device as benchmark for comparison.

  • Luer Lok Adapter: Tested with reference to the ISO 80369-7:2016 and ISO 80369-20:2015.
  • Performance Testing (benchmarking tests related to the predicate device):
    • Flow Rate: The time taken to fill up a 3.0 ml blood collection Test tube with liquid of viscosity similar to blood is recorded.
    • Leakage: The maximum numbers of round of insertion and Test evacuation of blood collection tube the device can withstand before leakage start occurring at the device is recorded.
    • Evacuation Force Test: The force taken to insert or evacuate a blood collection tube into the holder of the device is recorded.
    • Holding Strength of Needle to Adapter Test: The force taken to dislodge the needle from the adapter is recorded.
    • Holding Strength of Sleeve to Adapter Test: The force taken to dislodge the sleeve from the adapter is recorded.
    • Deformation Test: Permanent change in outer diameter of the holder of the device before and after compression by an applied 5 kg force for 5 minutes is measured and recorded. This test assesses the quality of the holder.

Sterilization: Sterilization is done in accordance to ISO 11135-1:2014. The Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) is 10-6.

Key results: Results passed predetermined acceptance criteria. The non-clinical testing demonstrates that the Blood Collection Accessory (BUCA) is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
