They are leakproof on the sides and bottom. They are labeled with the Biohazard warning symbol. The label color is orange-red, with lettering and symbol in contrasting color in accordance with OSHA regulations. The labels are attached directly to the surface of the container by a permanent adhesive. The One Quart Phlebotomy Container is secured to a tray or table top in an adhesive-backed injection molded plastic base. There are no features to bend, break, or shear the needle. The lid incorporates a "needle key" which can be used to unscrew needles from blood collection tube holders. After blood collection, the needle is inserted into the slotted opening and slid forward until firmly seated, and turned to unscrew the needle from the tube holder. The lid has two openings: one intended to accommodate blood tube needles only and the other, larger opening to accept larger sharps such as butterfly needles. Both openings have covers that may be temporarily closed during transportation. Each cover also has a tab that is inserted in slots for final locking closure for disposal.

Based on the provided information, the Bemis One Quart Phlebotomy Container is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is clearly stated as a "sharps disposal container" for the "safe disposal of needles and syringes." This is a device used for waste management and safety, not for performing diagnostic tests on biological samples.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical characteristics of the container (material, size, puncture resistance, leakproofness, labeling, lid features for needle disposal), not on any components or functions related to analyzing biological specimens.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of reagents, assays, sample handling for analysis, or any other elements typically associated with IVD devices.

In summary, the Bemis One Quart Phlebotomy Container is a medical device designed for the safe containment and disposal of sharps, which is a different category than an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
