The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and compliance with ISO standards for syringes and connectors, with no mention of AI or ML.
No
The device is described as being used to verify needle tip placement in the epidural space, not for therapeutic intervention like injection or aspiration.
No
The device is used to verify needle tip placement in the epidural space using the Loss of Resistance technique, which is a procedural verification, not a diagnostic determination of a medical condition.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components (glass syringe, plunger, brass tip) and the performance studies focus on physical properties and connections, not software functionality.
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 syringe is for verifying needle tip placement in the epidural space using the Loss of Resistance technique. This is a procedural technique performed directly on a patient, not a test performed on a sample of biological material in vitro (outside the body).
- Device Description: The description details a glass syringe with specific fittings for neuraxial applications. It does not mention any reagents, test strips, or other components typically associated with IVD devices that analyze biological samples.
- Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: The entire description focuses on the mechanical function of the syringe in conjunction with a needle for a procedural purpose. There is no mention of analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or any other biological sample.
IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on biological samples to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This syringe's function is entirely procedural and related to the physical placement of a needle within the body.

Device Description
The Artiglass NRFit TM tip Glass Syringes provided not sterile with ISO 80369-6 (NRFit™) compliant fittings. They are available in 5mL and 10mL, lock and slip configurations and 5mL and 10mL lock configurations. The NRFit™ tips allow for connections of neuraxial specific applications while reducing the likelihood of misconnections to non-neuraxial devices. The syringe assembly consists of a borosilicate neutral with a graduated scale in milliliters (mL), a borosilicate neutral glass plunger and a nickel-plated brass tip. The plunger rod is amber colored to designate a device intended to only connect to ISO 80369-6 compatible devices such as spinal or epidural needles.

Even though the geometry of the tip is slightly different in the subject device manufactured by Artiglass, the results of the biocompatibility testing performed by Artiglass on the previously cleared syringe can be considered adequate also to assess the biocompatibility of the subject device.
The materials of the components of the test article are identical to the correspondent components of the subject medical device in its final finished form in formulation, processing, and no other chemicals have been added. No changes in material have occurred since the biocompatibility testing performed by the manufacturer on the predicate device Artiglass L.O.R. Glass Syringe. The tip shape does not pose new issues of biocompatibility as the test article represents a worst case in respect to the subject device.
Clinical and Animal Tests:
Clinical tests were not required to demonstrate performance of between the subject and predicate devices. Product functionality has been adequately assessed by nonclinical tests.
Conclusion:
The submitted and the predicate device have the same indications for use and technological characteristics. The test results and comparison results show that the proposed device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in performance, materials, intended use, technological and operational characteristics.
Based on the intended use, technological characteristics, and performance testing, the proposed Artiglass NRFitTM Tip L.O.R. Glass Syringes has been shown to be appropriate for its intended use and is considered to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
