No
The device description details a simple tubing set for fluid transfer, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any components that would suggest AI/ML capabilities. The performance studies are bench tests focused on physical and chemical properties.
No
The device is described as a transfer set for contrast media, facilitating the movement of fluids between containers and syringes for diagnostic imaging procedures, rather than directly treating a disease or condition.
No
This device is described as a "sterile tubing set connection" for transferring contrast media to syringes, and its intended use explicitly states "transfer of fluids." It does not perform any diagnostic function.
No
The device description clearly details physical components like tubing, spikes, connectors, and packaging, indicating it is a hardware device.
Based on the provided text, the Liebel-Flarsheim™ IBP Transfer Set is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is clearly stated as the "transfer of Optiray® (loversol) Imaging Bulk Package contrast media to empty, single-use only, sterile syringes on syringe based contrast injection systems". This describes a device used for the physical transfer of a substance within a medical procedure, not for testing samples taken from the human body.
- Device Description: The description details a tubing set with connectors designed for fluid transfer. It does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Detecting or measuring substances in samples
- Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment based on sample analysis.
The device is a medical device used in conjunction with a contrast agent for imaging procedures, but its function is purely mechanical transfer, not diagnostic testing.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Liebel-Flarsheim™ IBP Transfer Set is indicated for the transfer of Optiray® (loversol) Imaging Bulk Package contrast media to empty, single-use only, sterile syringe based contrast injection systems indicated for the controlled, automatic intra-vascular administration of radiopaque contrast agents for their indicated procedures. The IBP Transfer Set is to be discarded after the container has been emptied or after 12 hours have elapsed since the container was penetrated, whichever occurs first.
Contra-indications for the use of this device are determined by the prescribing physician at the time of used upon the contrast media package inserts.

Device Description
The Liebel-Flarsheim™ IBP Transfer Set is a sterile tubing set connection between Optiray® (Ioversol) contrast media imaging bulk packages (hereinafter Optiray IBPs) and empty sterile singleuse syringes on syringe-based automatic contrast injection systems. The Liebel- Flarsheim™ IBP Transfer Set consists of a small bore (1/8" ID) clear polyvinyl chloride (PVC) tube with standard medical component end terminations. Bonded to the proximal end of the PVC tube is a vented IV spike that is used to pierce a rubber stopper belonging to an imaging bulk contrast media container. Distally, a self-sealing Luer type connector (Smiths Medical Nu- Site®) is bonded to the opposite end of the PVC tube. The Liebel-Flarsheim™ IBP Transfer Set, shown in the image below, has an overall length of 19-inches, a protective cap on the IV Spike, and both untethered and tethered protective caps on the Luer end to protect the Nu-Site® Luer Activated fitting between syringe fills. The transfer sets are individually packaged in blister packs with a perimeter heat sealed Tyvek lid. Sealed blister packs are packaged in an outer box containing 50 units (50 units/box) which are terminally sterilized with ethylene oxide.
The Liebel-Flarsheim™ IBP Transfer Set is intended for the transfer of fluids from bulk containers to empty sterile syringes on syringe-based contrast injection systems.

5.1. Device Information
Device Description and Intended Use
The Liebel-Flarsheim™ IBP Transfer Set is a sterile tubing set connection between Optiray® (Ioversol) contrast media imaging bulk packages (hereinafter Optiray IBPs) and empty sterile singleuse syringes on syringe-based automatic contrast injection systems. The Liebel- Flarsheim™ IBP Transfer Set consists of a small bore (1/8" ID) clear polyvinyl chloride (PVC) tube with standard medical component end terminations. Bonded to the proximal end of the PVC tube is a vented IV spike that is used to pierce a rubber stopper belonging to an imaging bulk contrast media container. Distally, a self-sealing Luer type connector (Smiths Medical Nu- Site®) is bonded to the opposite end of the PVC tube. The Liebel-Flarsheim™ IBP Transfer Set, shown in the image below, has an overall length of 19-inches, a protective cap on the IV Spike, and both untethered and tethered protective caps on the Luer end to protect the Nu-Site® Luer Activated fitting between syringe fills. The transfer sets are individually packaged in blister packs with a perimeter heat sealed Tyvek lid. Sealed blister packs are packaged in an outer box containing 50 units (50 units/box) which are terminally sterilized with ethylene oxide.
The Liebel-Flarsheim™ IBP Transfer Set is intended for the transfer of fluids from bulk containers to empty sterile syringes on syringe-based contrast injection systems.
Image /page/4/Picture/4 description: The image shows a medical device, specifically an extension set with a needleless connector. The set includes a clear, flexible tube forming a loop, connected to a white connector at one end and a clear connector with a purple valve at the other. Two blue caps are also visible, one attached to the clear connector with a blue tether and the other detached, likely for covering the connector when not in use.

Indications for Use
The Liebel-Flarsheim™ IBP Transfer Set is indicated for the transfer of Optiray® (loversol) Imaging Bulk Package contrast media to empty, single-use only, sterile syringes on syringe based contrast injection systems indicated for the controlled, automatic intra-vascular administration of radiopaque contrast agents for their indicated procedures. The IBP Transfer Set is to be discarded after the contrast media container has been emptied or after 12 hours have elapsed since the container was penetrated, whichever occurs first.
Contra-indications for the use of this device are determined by the prescribing physician at the time of use based upon the contrast media package inserts.
Risk Analysis Method
The Liebel-Flarsheim™ IBP Transfer Set was assessed for risks to health associated with the use of intravascular administration sets and accessories. Risks including but not limited to device malfunctions, bio-incompatibility risks, infection risks, and improper use were assessed. This device risk analysis was conducted in accordance with ISO 14971:2012 Medical Devices – Application of Risk Management to Medical Devices.
5.2. Substantial Equivalence
The Liebel-Flarsheim™ IBP Transfer Set is substantially equivalent to the ulrich Transfer Set (K161723) predicate device, currently legally marketed in the United States of America. The Liebel-Flarsheim™ IBP Transfer Set has the same intended use and substantially equivalent indications for use as the ulrich Transfer Set. The Liebel-Flarsheim™ IBP Transfer Set is indicated for the transfer of Optiray® (Ioversol) Imaging Bulk Package contrast media while the ulrich Transfer Set is indicated for the transfer of Omnipaque™ (Iohexol) Imaging Bulk Package contrast media. The Liebel-Flarsheim™ IBP Transfer Set uses equivalent overall design and operating principals to the ulrich Transfer Set. The materials of the components are comparable to the predicates.
Similar tests and test methods performed in accordance with the same standards were used with the transfer set and the predicate device to validate the design. Safety questions have been evaluated for the transfer set through extensive design verification and validation testing. The above described differences do not adversely affect the safety or effectiveness of the transfer set as compared to the predicate device for the following reasons:
- a. Biocompatibility: An evaluation of biocompatibility was performed in compliance with ISO 10993-1:2018.
- b. Performance Testing (Bench): Bench testing, including but not limited to functional testing, chemical compatibility, and microbial ingress testing, was performed to verify the device for its intended use. The acceptance criteria were chosen to ensure that the device performs in an equivalent than the predicate device.
