Intended Use
The UNIVEC Nonreusable Locking Syringe with Coupling Assembly can be used by health care professionals, diabetics and other persons for injection of insulin, tuberculin, immunization serum, and other injectible medications.
Device Description
The UNIVEC Nonreusable Syringe with Coupling Assembly provides a single use function. This assembly, inserted between the syringe plunger and the syringe rubber stopper, will decouple the plunger from the stopper (and disable the syringe) after injecting one dosage of serum. The assembly materials will be fabricated from the same polypropylene as the syringe.

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on a mechanical mechanism for single-use functionality and does not mention any computational or data-driven components. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly "Not Found".

No
The device is a syringe used for injecting medications, which is a delivery mechanism, not a therapeutic agent itself. Its primary function is to administer a substance that may or may not be therapeutic.

No
The device is described as a syringe used for injecting medications, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical syringe with a mechanical assembly for disabling it after single use. There is no mention of software components.

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 injection of medications into a person. This is an in vivo (within a living organism) application, not an in vitro (outside of a living organism) diagnostic test.
  • Device Description: The device is a syringe designed to deliver substances into the body and then be disabled. This aligns with drug delivery, not diagnostic testing of samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This syringe's function is solely for administering substances.

§ 880.5570 Hypodermic single lumen needle.

(a)
Identification. A hypodermic single lumen needle is a device intended to inject fluids into, or withdraw fluids from, parts of the body below the surface of the skin. The device consists of a metal tube that is sharpened at one end and at the other end joined to a female connector (hub) designed to mate with a male connector (nozzle) of a piston syringe or an intravascular administration set.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
