The summary describes a physical blood collection device and its performance characteristics, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for data analysis, image processing, or any other function.
No.
The device is strictly for blood collection for diagnostic purposes (measurement of HbA1c to monitor glycemic control), not for treatment or therapy.
No
The device is a blood collection device, which is used to collect samples for analysis. The analysis itself determines the diagnostic information, not the collection device.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "single-use, sterilized whole blood specimen collection and transportation device" that uses physical mechanisms (capillary action and vacuum extraction) and contains a chemical (lithium heparin). This indicates it is a physical hardware device, not software only.
Based on the provided text, the TAP Blood Collection® Device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device itself.
Here's why:
- It's a specimen collection device: The primary function of the TAP Device is to collect a blood sample. It doesn't perform any diagnostic testing or analysis on the sample.
- The diagnostic testing happens elsewhere: The text explicitly states that the collected sample is "transported for analysis in a clinical laboratory for determination of Hemoglobin Alc (HbA1c) using tests intended for monitoring glycemic control." The HbA1c test itself, performed in the laboratory, is the IVD.
- Its intended use is for sample collection and transport: The intended use and device description focus on the process of obtaining and preparing the sample for analysis, not on the analysis itself.
Therefore, the TAP Blood Collection® Device is a specimen collection and transport device that is used in conjunction with an IVD (the HbA1c test) to obtain the necessary sample for diagnostic testing.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The TAP Blood Collection® Device is a lithium heparin coated single use device intended to collect capillary blood from the upper arm of adults (21 years of age or older). The TAP Blood Collection® Device is for measurement of HbA1c on blood specimens which can be collected by self-administration of the TAP Device by a layperson or by a healthcare worker in a healthcare setting. The collected sample is then transported for analysis in a clinical laboratory for determination of Hemoglobin Alc (HbA1c) using tests intended for monitoring glycemic control.

Device Description
The TAP Blood Collection® Device (herein “TAP Device”) is a single-use, sterilized whole blood specimen collection and transportation device that uses a combination of two mechanisms, capillary action and vacuum extraction, to obtain a capillary blood sample from the upper arm. The device contains lithium heparin as an anticoagulant.
The device is intended for self-administration by a layperson or by a healthcare worker.
When the TAP Device is actuated, it collects the sample in an integrated reservoir and provides a visual indicator (fill indicator window) to the end user to confirm that the collection is complete and sufficient blood has been collected to conduct HbA1c testing. The sample collection time is 7 minutes or less and typically takes 2-3 minutes. The TAP Device is then sent to the laboratory for testing. The sample must be tested within 6 hours from time of collection or as indicated in the HbA1c test system package insert (whichever is less).

5.2. Performance Data
The purpose of this submission is to request a change in indications to add layperson use for the collection of the capillary blood sample.

Seventh Sense previously conducted bench studies to confirm the overall functional performance of the TAP Device against its design specifications and intended use as part of the original (predicate) TAP Device Premarket Notification (K161521). The previous performance testing remains valid as those studies are independent of the user and were specific to the design and functional performance requirements of the TAP Device.
In addition, Seventh Sense previously evaluated product performance attributes by conducting extensive clinical studies to confirm the overall functional performance of the TAP Device against its design specifications and intended use. These studies, detailed in the Premarket Notification for K161521, were conducted to support the design and functional properties of the TAP Device and remain valid for the candidate TAP Device.
The following additional testing was conducted in support of the proposed change in indications:
- . Usability testing to demonstrate that laypeople can successfully use the TAP Device to self-collect a blood sample according to the product's written instructions for use.
- . Analytical performance testing to confirm a blood sample collected by the layperson is adequate for HbA1c testing in a clinical laboratory. This study includes matrix comparison of TAP Device samples that are self-collected by laypeople compared to venous blood samples collected by a healthcare worker as well as evaluation of intraoperator repeatability (precision).
Performance Data Conclusions
The usability study demonstrated that laypeople can successfully use the TAP Device to selfcollect a blood sample according to the TAP Device written instructions for use.
The analytical performance testing demonstrated that self-collected TAP Device samples provide similar HbA1c test results when compared to venous blood samples collected by a healthcare worker. The study also demonstrated sufficient repeatability for HbA1c testing when multiple samples are self-collected with the TAP Device.
