The device description explicitly states that the device operates in an "entirely mechanical fashion" and there is no mention of AI or ML in the provided text.
No
The device is described as a blood lancing device intended for producing capillary whole blood samples, which is a diagnostic tool, not a therapeutic one.
No
This device is intended for producing blood samples, not for diagnosing a condition. It is a lancing device to obtain blood, which can then be used for diagnostic tests, but the device itself does not perform diagnostics.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "single-use blood lancing device" with "an integral sharps injury prevention feature" and comprises "a lancing module and a vacuum creation module which operate in an entirely mechanical fashion." This clearly describes a physical, mechanical device, not software.
Based on the provided information, the TAP Lancet is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is "for producing microliter capillary whole blood samples." It explicitly states it "does not collect or transport such samples." IVDs are typically used to perform tests on biological samples to diagnose, monitor, or screen for diseases or conditions.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the mechanical function of lancing and creating a vacuum to initiate blood flow. It doesn't mention any components or processes related to analyzing or testing the blood sample itself.
- Lack of IVD-related information: The document does not contain information typically found in IVD submissions, such as details about reagents, analytical performance characteristics (like sensitivity, specificity, accuracy in relation to a specific analyte), or calibration.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the device's ability to successfully produce a blood sample (success rate of 95.0%), not on the accuracy or reliability of any diagnostic measurement performed on the sample.
The TAP Lancet is a device used to obtain a biological sample (blood), which can then be used for in vitro diagnostic testing, but the device itself does not perform the diagnostic test.

| Device Description: | The TAP Lancet is a single-use blood lancing device with an integral
sharps injury prevention feature intended for producing microliter
capillary whole blood samples. The TAP Lancet comprises a lancing
module and a vacuum creation module which operate in an entirely
mechanical fashion. The device uses a lancet and vacuum to initiate

| Intended Use/Indications for Use: | The TAP Lancet is a single-use blood lancing device intended for producing microliter capillary whole blood samples. It does not collect or transport such samples. |
| Indications for Use Comparison | The indications for use of the candidate device are the same as the indications for use of the predicate device. |
| Technological Comparison | The technological characteristics of the candidate device are the same as the technological characteristics of the predicate device. The TAP Lancet blade length (1 mm) ensures that insertion risk has been mitigated. The blade length is shorter than the skin thickness (epidermal and dermal layers), which averages approximately 1-2 mm thick at the target collection site. Furthermore, the base of the blade bottoms out on the surface, preventing the blade tip from inserting any farther than its total length. The blade length was specifically designed to target capillary blood vessels such as arterioles and venules within the dermis layer of the skin, while minimizing invasiveness and preventing penetration beyond the subcutaneous layer. TAP Lancet incision size is 0.175 mm x 0.050 mm x 30 (maximum depth: 1mm). Predicate device incision size is Max Length: 5 mm and Max Depth: 2 mm. |
| Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions | Non-clinical performance studies were conducted to confirm the overall functional specification testing of the device against its design specifications and intended use and to support substantial equivalence. The following testing was conducted:
Package Integrity Testing:
Package integrity testing was conducted to verify that the package formed a sealed sterile barrier. Package integrity testing included seal strength integrity evaluation via bubble leak testing (ASTM F2096), and seal peel strength evaluation (ASTM F88). Ship testing was conducted according to ISTA 2A with environmental conditioning.
Shelf-life and Ship Testing:
Shelf-life testing was conducted according to ASTM F1980.
Biocompatibility Testing:
The biocompatibility of the device materials was demonstrated via testing conducted in accordance with ISO 10993-1.
Pyrogenicity Testing:
The device was evaluated for pyrogenicity. The results demonstrated that the device is considered non-pyrogenic and meets the requirements of the Pyrogen Test, ISO 10993-11 guidelines.
Usability Testing:
The usability of the TAP Lancet with the instructions for use was |
| | |
| evaluated in an actual-use study and is discussed in the clinical testing | |
| section of this submission. The device, in conjunction with the | |
