Intended Use
The AMSafe® 0.9% Sodium Chloride Pre-Filled Normal Saline Flush Syringe, is intended for use in flushing compatible intravenous administration sets and indwelling intravenous access devices. Use according to the recommendations of the manufacturer for the appropriate device.
Device Description
AMSafe® Pre-Filled Normal Saline Flush Syringe is a polypropylene plastic syringe filled with 0.9% sodium chloride for injection, USP, and capped with a polypropylene cap. The device will be terminally sterilized by gamma radiation sterilization. The device will be marketed as a 12mL syringe with a 3mL, 5mL, or 10mL fill volume, and a 20mL syringe with 20mL fill volume. The products are in two different packages, one is poly blister package and the entire packaged device are gamma radiation sterilized for sterile delivery to a sterile field; another is PP wrapper as a dust cover for non-sterile field. The solution is sterile normal saline for injection and meets the requirements of USP<40>.
More Information

No
The device is a pre-filled syringe for flushing, and the description focuses on material properties, sterilization, and fill volumes. There is no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is a pre-filled syringe for flushing intravenous lines, not for treating any medical condition.

No

Explanation: The device is a pre-filled saline flush syringe used for flushing intravenous lines, not for diagnosing medical conditions. Its intended use is described as "flushing compatible intravenous administration sets and indwelling intravenous access devices."

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical syringe filled with saline solution, made of polypropylene plastic, and terminally sterilized. This indicates a hardware medical device, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to flush intravenous administration sets and indwelling intravenous access devices. This is a direct interaction with the patient's circulatory system, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is a pre-filled syringe containing saline solution for injection. This is a medical device used for administering a substance into the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to test a sample (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or to provide diagnostic information about a patient's condition. The purpose is purely for flushing and maintaining the patency of IV lines.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not fit that description.

Dear Jim Barley:

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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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

1

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) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; 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 https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.

For comprehensive regulatory information about mediation-emitting products, including information about labeling regulations, please see Device Advice (https://www.fda.gov/medicaldevices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance) and CDRH Learn (https://www.fda.gov/training-and-continuing-education/cdrh-learn).

The shelf life of the final finished sterilized device was evaluated using the recognized consensus standard on the requirements for materials, sterile barrier systems and packaging systems for terminally sterilized medical devices (ISO11607-1)

h) Conclusions:

The conclusions drawn from the nonclinical test that demonstrate that AMSafe® Pre-Filled Normal Saline Flush syringe is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the legally marketed predicate.
