Intended Use
Safety blood collection needles with/without needle holder are intended to be used with vacuum blood collection tubes for multiple collections of venous blood. The safety shield is intended to aid in the protection against, accidental needle stick injuries.
Device Description
The Safety blood collection needles with/without needle holder is used in routine venipuncture procedures. That is composed of a bottom sheath, rubber cap, needle hub, connecting base, safety shield, needle tube, upper sheath, and optional needle holder, which are made from PP, PE, ABS, rubber, and SUS materials. The proposed device has various configurations and sizes, differing in various colors for easy recognition by use. The threaded hub is one side that connects with the needle holder, which is used to quide the needle into a vacuum blood collection tube. This end of the needle is shorter and is fitted with a rubber cap and a needle hub. The Safety blood collection needles with /without needle holder are manufactured from tubular stainless steel sharpened at both ends that are attached: - The opposite end of the needle tube is ¾" ~ 1 ½″ for blood collection and is fitted with a protective sleeve. - The needle hub and protective cap protect the needle tube. The self-locking mechanism is positioned within the center and the proximal end of the sheath. The hinge structure could let clinical personnel flexibly adjust the sheath to the designed position for use. The safety feature is easily operated by releasing a latch mechanism whereby the user slides a safety shield over the needle as it is removed from the patient. Once the needle is covered, the safety shield locks in place.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and material properties of a blood collection needle with a safety shield. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance testing sections.

No.
This device is a blood collection needle used for diagnostic purposes (collecting blood samples), not for treating a disease or condition.

No

The device is a safety blood collection needle, which is used for collecting blood samples. It does not analyze, interpret, or diagnose medical conditions; its sole purpose is the safe collection of blood.

No

The device description explicitly lists physical components made of materials like PP, PE, ABS, rubber, and SUS, and the performance studies include physical and material testing. This indicates it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the collection of venous blood using vacuum blood collection tubes. It is a tool for obtaining a sample, not for performing a diagnostic test on the sample itself.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical components and function of a blood collection needle and optional holder. It does not describe any reagents, assays, or analytical components used to test a sample.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: The device's purpose is to safely and effectively draw blood. It does not analyze the blood or provide any diagnostic information about the patient's health.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical characteristics, sterility, and safety features of the needle, not on the accuracy or reliability of a diagnostic test.

In vitro diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is a tool for obtaining the specimen, not for the diagnostic process itself.

(7)Blood Collection Set with Holder for Single Use, and (8)Safety Blood Collection Set with Holder for Single Use. The proposed device only compares with (2) and (4), included in the predicate device. Therefore, it does not affect the safety and effectiveness comparison that can be considered substantially equivalent.

#2: configuration and materials

Most of the materials used by the proposed device and the predicate device are the same, except for the upper sheath/needle cap. The proposed device uses PE, but the predicate device uses PP. However, the biocompatibility testing of the proposed device proves to be safe and complies with ISO 10993. Therefore, it does not affect the safety and effectiveness comparison that can be considered substantially equivalent.

#3: Needle gauge and length

The proposed device has a broader range of needle gauges and lengths than the predicate device. The performance testing of all specifications of the proposed device proves to be safe and effective and complies with ISO 9626 and ISO 7864. Therefore, it does not affect the safety and effectiveness comparison that can be considered substantially equivalent.
