The device description explicitly states its operation is manual and there is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the summary.
No
Explanation: A therapeutic device is one that treats or manages a disease or condition. This device is a syringe used for fluid injection/withdrawal, which is a delivery mechanism and not a treatment itself.
No
The device is described as a "Microliter Dosing Syringe" intended to "inject fluid into, or withdraw fluid from the body." Its primary function is fluid delivery or aspiration, not to diagnose a condition or provide diagnostic information.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical syringe-based device with components like a barrel, plunger, and tip cap, and its operation is manual. There is no mention of software as a component or the primary function.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The description clearly states the device is a syringe intended to "inject fluid into, or withdraw fluid from the body." This is a direct interaction with the body, not an examination of a specimen outside the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "intravitreal use," which means injecting or withdrawing fluid within the eye. This is a therapeutic or procedural use, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
- Device Description: The description details the physical components of a syringe and its intended manual operation for fluid handling. There is no mention of analyzing or testing a biological sample.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and safety of the syringe itself (leakage, force, particulate matter, endotoxins), not on the accuracy or reliability of a diagnostic test result.
The device is a medical device used for administering or removing substances from the body, specifically in the eye, but it does not perform an in vitro diagnostic test.

Substantial Equivalence Discussion:
The subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device when evaluating intended use and technological characteristics.
- The intended use is equivalent to the predicate device.
- The technological characteristics of the subject device are substantially equivalent to the . predicate device with only minor differences; these minor differences do not introduce or increase safety risk.
- . Congruence completed performance testing according to the ISO 7886-1 standard and USP for subvisible particulate testing. The Microliter Dosing Syringe met the applicable requirements of ISO 7886-1 and USP . These standards were also used by the predicate device TriboFilm StaClear. In addition, endotoxin testing according to USP was performed with the Microliter Dosing Syringe to establish conformance to the limits recommended for ophthalmic devices in FDA guidance. The Microliter Dosing Syringe test results demonstrate its performance characteristics are substantially equivalent to the predicate device. Refer to the Non-clinical Testing section below for a list of performance testing completed.
- . Biocompatibility testing was conducted in accordance with ISO 10993-1:2018 to demonstrate that the Microliter Dosing Syringe is as safe and effective as the legally marketed predicate device, and that any minor differences in technological characteristics do not raise questions of safety and effectiveness as compared to the predicate device (K200242). Refer to the Biocompatibility Testing section below for a list of the biocompatibility testing completed.
- . The differences between the predicate device (K200242) and the subject device for device volume, device materials, syringe volume and shelf-life do not introduce new or different questions of safety and effectiveness when compared to the predicate device based on successful completion of biocompatibility testing, non-clinical testing and performance testing conducted to support substantial equivalence.
- Adequate performance testing has been completed to support that the differences in connector types do not raise new or different questions of safety and effectiveness between the subject device and the predicate device. Substantial equivalence is also claimed despite difference in sterilization method (electron beam irradiation for Microliter Dosing Syringe compared to ethylene oxide sterilization for predicate device (K200242)), based on having an identical Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10-6 and based on successful completion of biocompatibility testing, non-clinical testing and performance testing conducted with devices treated with electron beam irradiation.
