No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and material properties of a syringe, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
No.
The device is a syringe intended for injecting or withdrawing fluids, which is a delivery mechanism, not a therapeutic agent itself.
No.
Explanation: The device is a syringe intended for injecting or withdrawing fluids. It does not analyze data to provide diagnostic information.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical syringe with a barrel, plunger, and luer tip, intended for manual fluid injection and aspiration. It is a hardware device.
Based on the provided information, the VitreJect Syringe is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "inject fluids into, or withdraw fluids from, the body." This describes a device used directly on or within a living organism (in vivo).
- Device Description: The description details a syringe for fluid injection and aspiration, a mechanical action performed on a patient.
- Anatomical Site: The indicated anatomical sites are "intracameral and intravitreal," which are locations within the eye of a living patient.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical and biological properties of the syringe itself (ISO standards, particulate testing, biocompatibility) and its interaction with the body (in vitro and in vivo studies, toxicological risk assessment). These are not studies related to analyzing samples outside the body to diagnose a condition.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) taken from the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The VitreJect Syringe is used on the body for therapeutic or procedural purposes.

Device Description
The VitreJect Syringe is designed to provide a means of fluid injection and aspiration. It is a luertip piston syringe consisting of a 1 mL hollow barrel with gradient markings and a plunger with an incorporated plunger stopper. The VitreJect Syringe barrel component is available in two configurations, a luer-slip or luer-lock tip, for the fitting of a compatible hypodermic needle. The VitreJect Syringe plunger is available in two configurations: standard dead space or low dead space. It is intended for manual use by health care professionals. The VitreJect Syringe is single use only, non-toxic, non-pyrogenic, and sterilized by ethylene oxide gas. The VitreJect Syringe is suitable for ophthalmic use.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Non-clinical testing was performed to confirm the safety and effectiveness of the VitreJect Syringe as compared to the predicate device. Performance testing was performed as per the design control system. The following tests were conducted:
- ISO 7886-1
- Freedom from Extraneous Matter
- Lubricant Quantification
- Tolerance on Graduations
- Plunger Stopper Detachment
- Barrel Flange to Plunger Distance
- Dead Space
- Freedom from Leakage
- Piston Operational Force
- Plunger Fit
- ISO 80369-7
- Luer Connector
- Particulate Testing
- USP Particulate Matter in Injections
- USP Particulate Matter in Ophthalmic Solutions
- Biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1)
- Chemical Characterization
- Cytotoxicity
- Sensitization
- Irritation, Intracutaneous Reactivity
- Irritation, Ocular
- Irritation, Intravitreal Injection
- Irritation, Intraocular
- Acute Systemic Toxicity
- Pyrogenicity
- Hemolysis
The results of the in vitro and in vivo studies were acceptable. A chemical characterization study was performed to identify and quantitate the extractables and/or leachables that may be released from the test article. A toxicological risk assessment was then conducted on the chemical characterization testing data to address the biological endpoints of systemic toxicity (subacute/subchronic) and genotoxicity and summarize the biological safety of the VitreJect Syringe. The toxicological risk assessment demonstrated an acceptable level of risk of systemic exposure to the extractable compounds. Therefore, this biological safety testing demonstrates the subject device is biocompatible for its intended use.
The VitreJect Syringe met the applicable requirements of ISO 7886-1, ISO 80369-7, USP , and USP . Biocompatibility testing demonstrates the subject device is as safe and effective as the legally marketed predicate device, and that minor differences in technological characteristics do not raise new or different questions of safety and effectiveness compared to the predicate device. The biocompatibility testing data and particulate test data in conjunction with the performance test data in compliance with ISO 7886-1 demonstrate that the VitreJect Syringe met the established safety and performance characteristics of the device and demonstrate substantial equivalence.

Below the company name, the words "ADVANCED DRUG DELIVERY" are written in a smaller, sans-serif font.
- The subject device and the predicate device are indicated for intravitreal use. The subject ● device is additionally indicated for intracameral use. This additional indication was evaluated through intraocular injection irritation testing, demonstrating that the VitreJect Syringe is biocompatible for intracameral use. This difference in indication for use does not raise new or different questions of safety and effectiveness.
- The subject device and predicate device are substantially equivalent with only minor technological differences in device materials, dimensional specifications, connection type, plunger type. OcuJect completed performance testing according to ISO 7886-1, ISO 80369-7, USP and USP and the VitreJect Syringe met the applicable requirements. The ISO 7886-1. USP and USP standards were also utilized by the StaClear Syringe to demonstrate performance. The VitreJect Syringe demonstrates its performance characteristics are substantially equivalent to the predicate and reference device.
- Biocompatibility testing demonstrates the subject device is as safe and effective as the ● legally marketed predicate device, and that minor differences in technological characteristics do not raise new or different questions of safety and effectiveness compared to the predicate device.
The biocompatibility testing data and particulate test data in conjunction with the performance test data in compliance with ISO 7886-1 demonstrate that the VitreJect Syringe met the established safety and performance characteristics of the device and demonstrate substantial equivalence.
X. CONCLUSIONS
The VitreJect Syringe met the established safety and performance characteristics for a piston syringe. Suitability of the subject device for the additional indication of intracameral and intravitreal use was evaluated through endotoxin, biocompatibility, and particulate testing. The additional indication for intracameral administration routes does not raise any new or different questions of safety or effectiveness. Testing demonstrates the VitreJect Syringe is as safe and effective as the predicate device and will perform as intended. The Vitrelect Syringe is substantially equivalent to the StaClear Syringe cleared under K200242.
