No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical components, sterilization, and basic performance characteristics of needles and syringes. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.
No
The device is intended for "general purpose fluid injection/aspiration" and to "inject fluid into or withdraw fluid from body," and does not itself treat or prevent disease.
No
This device is designed for fluid injection and aspiration, and filtration of drug solutions, which are therapeutic or procedural functions, not diagnostic ones.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components such as needles, hubs, caps, syringes, and filter membranes. The performance studies also focus on physical and biological 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 clearly states the devices are for "general purpose fluid injection/aspiration," "inject fluid into or withdraw fluid from body," and "injecting the drug into the human body to remove foreign substances from the drug solutions." These are all actions performed on the body or with substances being introduced into or removed from the body.
- Device Description: The description details components like needles, syringes, caps, and filters, all of which are consistent with devices used for administering or withdrawing substances from a living organism.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens in vitro (outside of the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. IVDs typically involve analyzing biological samples like blood, urine, or tissue.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on biocompatibility, physical performance (needle and syringe standards), sterilization, and shelf-life, which are relevant to devices used for injection and aspiration, not for in vitro analysis.
In summary, the device's function is to facilitate the physical act of injecting or withdrawing fluids from the body, which falls under the category of medical devices used for treatment or procedural purposes, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Different- Syringe Volume and Connector Type
The Syringe volume for proposed device is different from the predicate devices. However, this difference is just in dimension. Different volume device will be selected by physician per patient's condition. This difference does not affect intended use. Moreover, the syringe volume of the proposed syringe is covered by the syringe volume of the predicate device. Therefore, this difference does not affect substantially equivalence on safety and effectiveness.

The needle size and length for proposed device is different from the predicate device. However, this difference is just in dimension. Different size and length device will be selected by physician per patient's condition. This difference does not affect intended use. Moreover, the needle length of the range of the needle length of the predicate device. The needle size of the syringe is very close to that of the comparison product. Therefore, this difference does not affect substantially equivalence on safety and effectiveness with the predicate device.

| Indications | |||
| for Use | Membrane Filter Syringe | ||
| Membrane Filter Syringe is intended to be | |||
| used for medical purposes to inject fluid into | |||
| or withdraw fluid from body. The 0.5nm filter | |||
| operates when injecting the drug into the | |||
| human body to remove foreign substances | |||
| from the drug solutions. | The Greenmedi safety filter syringe is | ||
| intended to inject the drug solutions into | |||
| the human body. It is designed to prevent | |||
| needle stick injuries. The 0.5um filter | |||
| operates when injecting the drug into the | |||
| human body to remove foreign | |||
| substances from the drug solutions. | Same | ||

| Different-Configuration | |||
| The configuration of proposed syringe with needle is similar as predicate device, considering the needle may become | |||
| disengaged from the syringe when activating the syringe with luer-slip connector, therefore the proposed | |||
| syringe doesn't have the configuration of barrel with check valve. We think the difference on configuration will not raise | |||
| new questions on safety and effectiveness of the proposed device. | |||

| Different- Syringe Volume and Connector Type
The Syringe volume for proposed device is different from the predicate devices. However, this difference is just in dimension. Different volume device will be selected by physician per patient's condition. This difference does not affect intended use. Moreover, the syringe volume of the proposed syringe with covered by the range of the syringe volume of the predicate device. Therefore, this difference does not affect needle is substantially equivalence on safety and effectiveness. | | | |

Table 2. General Comparison of Filter Syringe
The needle size and length for proposed device is different from the predicate device. However, this difference is just in dimension. Different size and length device will be selected by physician per patient's condition. This difference does not affect intended use. Moreover, the needle length of the proposed syringe in the needle length of the predicate device. The needle size of the syringe is very close to that of the comparison product. Therefore, this difference does not affect substantially equivalence on safety and effectiveness with the predicate device.
