Intended Use
Vials Adapters Ø20 mm and Ø13mm are indicated for the transfer and mixing of drugs contained in vials.
Device Description
The vial Adapters (VA) Ø20mm and Ø13mm are sterile polycarbonated devices which allows easy transfer of fluids into and out of drug vials. It incorporates a siliconized hollow spike for puncturing the stopper in the neck of a vial and a luer fitting that allows connection of a syringe on opposite side. After puncturing the hollow spike seats securely around the ferrule of drug vial utilizing the "legs" of the vial adapter. The opposite side of the vial adapter contains a Luer fitting for the connection of a standard Luer Lock syringe for the reconstitution and removal of the contents of the drug vial. The proposed VA is available in two Ø20 mm and Ø13mm diameter to accommodate respective size of drug vials and is available in 3 configurations, no filter, in-line 5-micron or 15-micron disc filter sub- assembly for particulate filtration.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical and fluid dynamics properties, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is described as an adapter for transferring and mixing drugs, which is a tool for drug preparation and delivery, not a device that directly treats or diagnoses a disease.

No
The device is described for "transfer and mixing of drugs" and "easy transfer of fluids into and out of drug vials," indicating its function in drug preparation and administration, not diagnosis. The performance studies focus on mechanical and fluid flow properties, not diagnostic accuracy.

No

The device description clearly states it is a sterile polycarbonated device with physical components like a spike, luer fitting, and optional filters, indicating it is a hardware 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 clearly stated as "transfer and mixing of drugs contained in vials." This is a mechanical function related to drug administration, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.
  • Device Description: The description details a device for physically connecting a syringe to a drug vial for fluid transfer. It does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment decisions based on in vitro analysis.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on mechanical integrity, fluid flow, filtration efficiency, and packaging – all related to the physical function of transferring fluids, not diagnostic accuracy.

In summary, the device's purpose is to facilitate the safe and efficient transfer of drugs, which falls under the category of medical devices used for drug delivery or administration, not in vitro diagnostics.

the same principle of operation as the predicate device, Vial Adapter (K171796). However, following differences were noted in device design:

The proposed device is offered in different size, i.e., Ø20mm and Ø13mm, however this difference is for a different diameter vial, but the intended use is the same. The size difference of proposed device led to the difference in packaging size from the predicate. The sterilization process is validated to a minimum SAL 10th. The proposed device can be equipped with an inline 5-micron or 15-micron disc filter sub- assembly for particulate filtration. The performance testing of the filters met required acceptable criteria. These differences in device design do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.

The predicate and proposed devices share the same principle of operation and fundamental technology when utilizing the proposed device. The following table compares Vial Adapter Ø20 mm and Ø13 mm to the Predicate Device Vial Adapter 15 mm with respect to intended use, technological characteristics and principles of operation, providing more detailed information regarding the basis for the determination of substantial equivalence.

8. Substantial Equivalence:

The proposed device, Vial Adapter Ø20mm and Ø13mm, has the same intended use and substantially similar indications for use, technological characteristics and principles of operation as the identified predicate device. Differences in the size of vial adapters Ø20mm and Ø13mm are for different diameter vials, but intended use is the same. Based on the size differences, the packaging size differ from the predicate device. The sterilization process is validated to a minimum SAL 10-6. The configurations of in-line 5-micron or 15-micron disc filter sub- assembly for particulate filtration is different than that of the predicate. However, the performance testing of the filters met required acceptable criteria. There are no significant differences between the vial adapters Ø20mm and Ø13mm and the predicate device that would adversely affect the use of the product. Any differences in technological characteristics do no raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. Further, testing demonstrates substantially equivalent performance between the device and the predicates. Accordingly, the Vial Adapter Ø20mm and Ø13mm are substantially equivalent to the predicate device in design, function, material, and intended use.

9. Summary of Non-Clinical Testing:

The vial adapter was evaluated, and risk assessment was performed to ensure that the device modifications did not introduce any new potential risks.

The following tests were performed as a result of the risk assessment to ensure that all potential risks associated with the device design are mitigated to acceptable levels.
