Intended Use
The Velano Vascular Blood Collection Adapter is indicated for use as a blood collection system that manually diverts the initial specimen prior to collection of a subsequent test sample to reduce the frequency of blood culture contamination when contaminants are present in the initial blood sample compared to blood cultures drawn with standard procedure without manual diversion.
Device Description
The Blood Collection Adapter is a sterile, single-use device that removes the initial portion of the blood specimen (potentially contaminated) into a waste or discard tube prior to collecting a subsequent blood sample. The Blood Collection Adapter is comprised of a transfer device, a waste tube, a skirt that holds the waste tube in place, and an adapter inside the transfer device that is used for narrow neck culture tubes and additional blood collection tubes. The device is designed to be attached to a newly placed IV-line, vascular access device, or venipuncture needle set and is not intended for blood specimen collection from preexisting lines or IV site. Place a new peripheral IV catheter prior to drawing blood sample. The device collects approximately 3mL of the initial blood sample into the waste tube. The subsequent blood sample is collected directly into a culture bottle (not provided by Velano Vascular) or into an evacuated tube for additional processing.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical and functional aspects of a blood collection system, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No.
The device's intended use is to improve blood collection for diagnostic purposes by reducing contamination, not to treat or prevent a disease or condition.

No

The device description indicates its purpose is to "manually divert the initial specimen prior to collection of a subsequent test sample to reduce the frequency of blood culture contamination." It is a blood collection system, not a device that analyzes or interprets data for diagnostic purposes. Its function is to facilitate a cleaner blood sample, which is then used for diagnosis, but the device itself does not perform the diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (transfer device, waste tube, skirt, adapter) and describes physical actions (removes initial portion of blood, attached to IV-line, collects 3mL). The performance studies also focus on physical and mechanical testing. There is no mention of software as a component or function of the device.

Based on the provided information, the Velano Vascular Blood Collection Adapter is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states that the device is used as a "blood collection system" and is designed to "reduce the frequency of blood culture contamination when contaminants are present in the initial blood sample." This directly relates to the collection and preparation of a biological specimen (blood) for subsequent in vitro diagnostic testing (blood cultures and other blood tests).
  • Device Description: The description details how the device collects blood samples, including diverting an initial portion and collecting a subsequent sample for "culture bottle" or "evacuated tube for additional processing." This further confirms its role in preparing samples for laboratory analysis.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies include a "contamination study" where the device's ability to prevent contamination of test samples is evaluated. This type of study is relevant to the performance of a device used in the collection of samples for diagnostic testing.
  • Predicate Device: The predicate device listed, K192247; Magnolia Steripath® Gen2 Blood Collection System, is also a blood collection system designed to reduce contamination for diagnostic testing. This suggests that devices with this function are typically classified as IVDs.

While the device itself doesn't perform the diagnostic test, its function is to collect and prepare a biological specimen specifically for in vitro diagnostic procedures. This falls under the scope of IVD devices as defined by regulatory bodies.

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

Functional and Safety Testing:
To verify that the device design meets its functional and performance requirements, devices underwent physical and mechanical testing. As a result of verification and validation activities and risk assessment, testing ensured the device design meets its functional and performance requirements. The following tests were performed:

  • Visual inspection
  • Simulated shipping
  • Dimensional measurements
  • Activation force
  • Inlet compatibility
  • Outlet compatibility
  • Simulated use
  • Discard volume
  • Multiple engagements

A contamination study was performed to validate the device performs as intended. Under simulated use conditions, test samples were contaminated with various organisms (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus Cereus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa). Test samples using the Blood Collection Adapter demonstrated no growth and all positive control test samples demonstrated growth of each organisms evaluated.
