The summary describes a mechanical vial adapter and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.
No
The device is described as a sterile vial adapter for the transfer and mixing of drugs, and it does not have any direct therapeutic effect on a patient. It is an accessory for drug preparation and administration.
No
Explanation: The device is indicated for the transfer and mixing of drugs, which is a therapeutic or drug delivery function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "sterile packaged vial adapter," which is a physical hardware component.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the "transfer and mixing of drugs contained in vials." This describes a process related to drug preparation and administration, not the diagnosis of a disease or condition using in vitro methods.
- Device Description: The description details a "sterile packaged vial adapter" for withdrawing or injecting solutions into drug vials. This is a medical device used in the preparation of medications, not for testing biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information.
IVDs are devices intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens derived from the human body solely or principally for the purpose of providing information concerning a physiological state, state of health, or disease or congenital abnormality. This device does not fit that definition.

Device Description
The nextaro® va, 15mm, 5μm is a sterile packaged vial adapter for single withdrawal of drug solutions with a single-use syringe via Luer adapter from drug vials or for one-time injection of a low-particle and sterile solution with immediate withdrawal of the prepared drug solution with a single-use syringe via Luer adapter from drug vials.
The nextaro® va has a plastic spike which is used to perforate the seal of a vial and a female luer adapter for connecting a standard syringe with male luer lock.
The fluid transfer assembly is designed with an in-line filter to ensure that any particulates (fragments of vial seals, undissolved pharmaceutical) remain in the vial.
To be used as intended, the nextaro® va is attached to a vial and the spike perforates the rubber stopper of the vial. After attachment to the drug vial, a low-particle, sterile solvent can be transferred into the drug vial with a syringe via the female luer and mixed and/or the drug solution can be drawn up with the single-use syringe.

| Packaging size | The packaging dimensions have been changed from the currently marketed 20mm Vial
Adapter to accommodate a 15mm Vial Adapter. The packaging material is the same.
Packaging testing has been shown that the packaging of the subject and the predicate
device are substantially equivalent. |
| Filter type and
filter material | The subject and the predicate device are equipped with filter elements, to retain
fragments which could be punched out during perforation of the vial seals from being
transferred or aspirated into the ready-to-use solution. The same applies for
undissolved pharmaceutical agent particles.
The proposed device has an alternative material for the in-line filter. The filter in the
predicate device is made of woven polyethylene terephthalate (mesh filter), while the
filter in the subject device is made of an acrylic copolymer matrix on non-woven nylon
support (membrane filter).
A retention rate of ≥80 % of particles with a size of ≥ 20 µm was confirmed for the
predicate device and for the subject device, so that both devices meet the
requirements of ISO 8536-4. The performance of the filters (retention) of the subject
and predicate devices has been shown to be substantially equivalent.
The biocompatibility tests show that the subject device is biocompatible and can be
regarded as substantially equivalent regarding biocompatibility. |

Summary / Conclusion
The nextaro® va and nextaro® va, 15mm, 5μm have equivalent indications, principles of operation and technological characteristics. The only technical differences are: (1) the modified geometry / dimensions of the device (adapted to vials with a diameter of 15mm), (2) the adapted packaging design and (3) the material of the filter.
Testing demonstrates that the differences do not present any new concerns of safety or effectiveness. The modifications made to the subject device, nextaro® va, 15mm, do not affect the intended use of the device nor do they alter its fundamental scientific technology compared to the predicate device, the nextaro® va. Thus, the nextaro® va, 15mm, 5μm is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, nextaro® va.
