Intended Use
The Removal System Large Bore 60 cc Syringe is used with the Removal Catheters to inject fluids into or withdraw fluids and/or tissues from the body. It can be used for aspiration removal of fluid and/or tissue in the form of abscess fluid, infected materials, etc.
Device Description
The Removal System Large Bore 60 cc Syringe is a general piston syringe constructed using a barrel, plunger, plunger seal, and large bore Toomey tip adapter that acts as a quick-release connector. The quick-release connector is compatible with the Removal System Catheters' sideport connector to establish an airtight seal. The twist-to-lock plunger with barrel tabs maintains the retracted position of the plunger.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical function of a syringe and do not mention any AI or ML components or capabilities.

Yes
The device is used to inject or withdraw fluids/tissues from the body, including the aspiration removal of abscess fluid and infected materials, which are therapeutic actions.

No

The device is described as a syringe used for injecting or withdrawing fluids and tissues, which is a therapeutic or procedural function, not a diagnostic one. There is no mention of it being used to identify or analyze medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical syringe with a barrel, plunger, and seals, indicating it is a hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is used to "inject fluids into or withdraw fluids and/or tissues from the body." This is a direct interaction with the patient's body for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes in vivo.
  • Device Description: The description details a syringe, which is a tool for manipulating fluids and tissues within the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a physiological state, health, or disease.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples like blood, urine, tissue, etc., in a laboratory or clinical setting to diagnose or monitor conditions. This syringe is used for direct patient intervention.

Dear Kaitlyn Weinkauf:

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.

Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).
