No
The description details a mechanical lancing device with adjustable depth, focusing on physical function and safety testing. There is no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
No.
The device is used to obtain a blood sample for diagnostic purposes (glucose monitoring or other tests), not to treat a condition. While the blood sample may be used to guide therapy, the lancing device itself is not a therapeutic device.
No
Explanation: The device is a lancing device used to obtain a blood sample. It does not analyze or interpret the sample to make a diagnosis; it is only a tool for sample collection.
No
The device is described as a "mechanical blood lancet holder" and undergoes "mechanical design verification and validation testing," indicating it is a physical hardware device.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. Examples include blood glucose meters, pregnancy tests, and tests for infectious diseases.
- The Medifun Lancing Device is a tool used to obtain a sample (capillary blood). It is a mechanical device that facilitates the collection of the sample, but it does not perform any diagnostic testing on the sample itself.
- The description explicitly states its purpose is to "obtain a capillary blood sample for glucose monitoring or other test that require one or two drops of blood." The glucose monitoring or other test would be performed by a separate IVD device.
Therefore, the Medifun Lancing Device is a medical device used in conjunction with IVD devices, but it is not an IVD itself.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
Medifun Lancing Device, Model No. LD-E1 is a reusable lancing device for the single user. Itshould be used with the proper sterile lancet for the capillary blood sampling. It could automatically inject the lancet into and retract it from the fingertip to obtain a capillary blood sample for glucose monitoring or other test that require one or two drops of blood. A depth adjustable cap allows the best depth of skin penetration for each individual user. Alternative site testing (palm or forearm) can be performed by installing the clear cap on the lancing device.

Dear Tyra Chiu:
We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
