Intended Use
Spinal Needle (Quincke Bevel and Pencil Point) is intended for injection of local anesthetics into the subarachnoid space to provide spinal anesthesia for pain management. The device is intended to be used in a professional healthcare environment and not tested for MRI safety.
Device Description
Spinal Needles are long, flexible needles of small gauge (typically 18G to 27G) which are available with different types of tips: Pencil point and Quincke bevel. The Spinal Needles are available in a series of combination of needle size and length. The smaller size needles of Pencil point tip are provided with introducer needles to provide support for accessing the tough tissues. Spinal needles have a removable stylet that completely occludes the lumen to avoid block. The stylet is withdrawn after the spinal anesthesia needle has penetrated into the subarachnoid space for injecting anesthetic. The needle hub is luer connector (6% luer taper).
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics, materials, and sterilization of a standard spinal needle, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is described as being used for "injection of local anesthetics ... to provide spinal anesthesia for pain management," which directly addresses a medical condition (pain) and aims to treat it.

No.

The device is intended for the injection of local anesthetics for pain management, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical needle with various hardware components (stylet, hub, luer connector) and mentions non-clinical tests related to physical properties and biocompatibility, indicating it is a hardware device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The description clearly states the Spinal Needle is used for "injection of local anesthetics into the subarachnoid space". This is a procedure performed within the body (in vivo) for therapeutic purposes (pain management).
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of collecting or analyzing any biological specimens with this device.

The device is a surgical/procedural instrument used for delivering medication directly into a specific anatomical site.
