nextaro® Transfer System (K183187)
Not Found
No
The device description details a purely mechanical transfer and mixing system with filters, spikes, and Luer connections. There is no mention of any computational or data-driven components that would suggest the use of AI or ML.
No.
The device is indicated for the transfer and mixing of drugs, not for directly treating a disease or condition.
No
The device is described as a sterile-packaged transfer device for the transfer and mixing of drugs contained in vials, designed to reconstitute pharmaceuticals and prepare drug solutions for administration. It does not measure or monitor biological parameters to provide diagnostic information.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical, sterile-packaged transfer device with spikes, filters, and Luer-Lock adapters, indicating it is a hardware device.
Based on the provided information, the nextaro® v, 20/20 is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is clearly stated as "for the transfer and mixing of drugs contained in vials." This describes a process related to preparing medication for administration to a patient, not for testing a sample taken from the human body to provide information about a physiological state, health, or disease.
- Device Description: The description details a device for transferring and filtering liquids between vials and a syringe. This aligns with drug preparation, not diagnostic testing.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or functions related to:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.).
- Detecting or measuring analytes (substances) in those samples.
- Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
The device is designed to facilitate the safe and efficient preparation of a drug solution for administration, which is a medical procedure, not an in vitro diagnostic test.

Device Description
The nextaro® v, 20/20 is a sterile-packaged transfer device with ventilation on solvent side with built-in particle filter (15µm nominal) installed on solvent and drug side and a female Luer-Lock adapter for the connection of a single-use syringe for a low-particle withdrawal of the prepared drug solution.
The nextaro® v, 20/20 consists of two components already assembled (screwed together) in the delivery condition. Each of the components has a plastic spike which is used to perforate the seals of a solvent vial, or lyophilizated pharmaceutical vial, respectively. The components have a male and female Luer adapter to create an air-tight inner media-carrying system with open ends at the spikes.
Both components are equipped with a filter element to prevent particles (fragments of vial seals, undissolved pharmaceutical) from being administered into the patient's circulatory system.
To be used as intended, the spike of the blue ("upper") part of the nextaro® v, 20/20 is used to perforate the seal of the solvent vial. The assembly is flipped vertically and the spike of the white ("bottom") part of the device is used to perforate the seal of the pharmaceutical vial. The solvent transfer process starts immediately due to the vacuum in the pharmaceutical vial.
The spike of the upper part has two lumen allows air to enter the solvent vial so that ventilation takes place during the transfer. The other lumen ensures that the solvent is transferred to the pharmaceutical vial.
After solvent transfer and reconstitution of the pharmaceutical by gentle swirling, the blue component of the device is removed from the white part by unscrewing, a standard syringe with a male Luer is attached to the exposed female Luer of the device to aspirate the prepared solution.

§ 880.5440 Intravascular administration set.
(a)
Identification. An intravascular administration set is a device used to administer fluids from a container to a patient's vascular system through a needle or catheter inserted into a vein. The device may include the needle or catheter, tubing, a flow regulator, a drip chamber, an infusion line filter, an I.V. set stopcock, fluid delivery tubing, connectors between parts of the set, a side tube with a cap to serve as an injection site, and a hollow spike to penetrate and connect the tubing to an I.V. bag or other infusion fluid container.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for pharmacy compounding systems within this classification is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Pharmacy Compounding Systems; Final Guidance for Industry and FDA Reviewers.” Pharmacy compounding systems classified within the intravascular administration set are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of this part and subject to the limitations in § 880.9.

Dear Olaf Broemsen:
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.

Summary / Conclusion
The nextaro® Transfer System and nextaro® v, 20/20, have the same indications, principles of operation, and technological characteristics, such as performance, materilization, biocompatibility, and packaging. The only technological difference is the spike design on the water side (upper part). Testing demonstrates that the difference does not present any new concerns of safety or effectiveness. The modifications made to the subject device, nextaro® v, 20/20, do not affect the intended use of the device, nor do they alter its fundamental scientific technology compared to the predicate device, the
8
nextaro® Transfer System. Thus, the nextaro® v, 20/20 is substantially equivalent to the predicate, nextaro® Transfer System.
