Intended Use
The DR Safety Syringe is used to inject fluids into or withdraw fluids from the body. In addition, the DR Safety Syringe is designed to aid in the prevention of needle stick injuries. The Sterile Hypodermic Needle for single use is intended for use with syringes and injection devices for general purpose fluid injection/aspiration.
Device Description
The DR Safety Syringe is a retractable type piston syringe, designed to aid in the prevention of needle stick injuries. This single-use, disposable syringe provided sterile and consists of the following components for 3ml and 5ml safety syringe: Barrel, Plunger, Stopper, Luer Assembly, hypodermic needle, Locking Ring and O-Ring. 0.5ml and 1ml safety syringe: Barrel, Plunger, Stopper, needle hub, needle tube, protective cap, Locking Ring and O-Ring The DR Safety Syringe functions in a manner similar to standard syringes for fluid injection/withdrawal. After use, the health care professional fully depresses the plunger to engage the luer assembly/needle hub. Once the luer assembly/needle hub is engaged, pulling back the plunger causes the adapter and the attached needle to be withdrawn into the safety of the barrel. This retraction into the barrel of the syringe can be visually confirmed. Once this safety mechanism has been activated, the syringe is permanently disabled and the needle is completely secured within the barrel. Both the syringe and plunger are discarded in a Sharp's container. The DR Safety Syringes are available for 0.5mL, 1mL, 3mL, 5mL. The 0.5ml and 1ml DR Safety Syringes with fixed needle and 3ml, 5ml DR Safety Syringes with exchangeable needle are used to inject fluids into or withdraw fluids from the body. The DR Safety Syringes are designed to aid in the prevention of needle stick injuries
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical features and standard biocompatibility/performance testing, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device is a syringe and needle system primarily used for the injection or withdrawal of fluids from the body and for preventing needle-stick injuries, not for treating a disease or condition itself.

No

Explanation: The device, a safety syringe, is used for injecting or withdrawing fluids from the body and for preventing needle stick injuries. It does not perform any diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (Barrel, Plunger, Stopper, Luer Assembly, hypodermic needle, etc.) and describes mechanical functions for fluid injection/withdrawal and sharps injury prevention. The performance studies also focus on physical and material properties, not software validation.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "inject fluids into or withdraw fluids from the body" and to "aid in the prevention of needle stick injuries." This describes a device used for direct interaction with the body for therapeutic or diagnostic procedures, not for testing samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description details a syringe and needle, which are instruments for administering or collecting substances from a living organism. It does not describe a device used to analyze biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples, reagents, or any process that would be performed on a sample outside of the body to provide diagnostic information.

Therefore, the DR Safety Syringe is a medical device, but it falls under the category of devices used for injection and aspiration, not in vitro diagnostics.
