Device Description
The proposed device, Needleless Connector, is a sterile single patient use connector for needleless access to the IV line and/or IV catheter during IV therapy. It can be used for direct injection, intermittent infusion, continuous infusion or aspiration. The proposed device is a needleless connector which can be activated by a male luer, and the flush volume for the device is 5ml. The device can be used for less than 7 days and 100 activations. The Needleless Connector also suitable for power injection of contrast media into the central venous system only through IV line that is also indicated for power injection at a maximum pressure of 325psi and a flow rate of 10ml/s.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and material properties of a needleless connector, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is a needleless connector for IV lines, facilitating infusions and aspirations. It does not exert a therapeutic effect on the body but rather provides access for therapies.

No

The device description clearly states its purpose as a connector for IV lines for administration (injection, infusion, aspiration) and power injection of contrast media, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical, sterile, single-patient use connector for IV lines, which is a hardware component. The performance studies also focus on physical properties and testing of this hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The intended use is for accessing the IV line and/or IV catheter during IV therapy for infusion, injection, or aspiration. This is a direct interaction with the patient's circulatory system for therapeutic purposes, not for examining specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces the intended use as a connector for accessing the IV line.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical and functional aspects of the connector (microbial ingress, pressure resistance, luer compatibility, biocompatibility), which are relevant to a device used for fluid delivery and access, not for diagnostic testing.

In summary, the Needleless Connector is a medical device used for administering substances to or withdrawing substances from a patient's body via an IV line, which falls under the category of devices used in patient care and treatment, not in vitro diagnostics.
