Intended Use
SIMS' Regional Anesthesia Trays are used to administer to a patient regional or local anesthesia.
Device Description
Regional Anesthesia Trays cover a broad product range, including; Continuous Epidural, Single Shot Epidural, Spinal, Nerve Block, Pediatric Epidural, and Combined Spinal/Epidural Trays. These trays are a compilation of the preparatory and surgical components required for administering anesthesia. The trays may include components such as: needles, syringes, filters, catheters, gloves, gauze sponges, drapes, The components are placed into a plastic tray, wrapped in CSR wrap, sealed, and sterilized by ethylene oxide. The trays are available in standard component configurations or can be customized to meet the needs of an individual user. All componentry supplied in these kits are from an approved list of components which are legally marketed devices.

No
The device description and intended use clearly define the product as a collection of standard medical components for administering anesthesia. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The performance testing described is for a physical component (catheter connector), not a software-based system.

No
The device is described as a compilation of preparatory and surgical components for administering anesthesia, not for treating a condition or disease.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a compilation of preparatory and surgical components required for administering anesthesia, not for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a compilation of physical components like needles, syringes, and catheters, packaged in a plastic tray. This indicates a hardware-based medical device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "administer to a patient regional or local anesthesia." This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on a patient, not a test performed on a sample taken from a patient to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The device is a collection of surgical components used for administering anesthesia. These components are used in vivo (within the body) during a medical procedure.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples (like blood, urine, tissue), detect analytes, or provide diagnostic information.

IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Testing of the epidural catheter connector was performed in accordance with BS 6196. Performance testing of the proposed modification to the epidural catheter connector demonstrates that it performed equal to or better than our current epidural catheter connector.

These trays are a compilation of the preparatory and surgical components required for administering anesthesia. The trays may include components such as: needles, syringes, filters, catheters, gloves, gauze sponges, drapes, The components are placed into a plastic tray, wrapped in CSR wrap, sealed, and sterilized by ethylene oxide.

INDICATIONS FOR USE

SIMS' Regional Anesthesia Trays are used to administer to a patient regional or local anesthesia.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

All components used in our Regional Anesthesia Trays are legally marketed devices. The inclusion of these components in these trays will have the same biocompatibility implications as their current usage. The modified epidural catheter connector housing is constructed of the same materials as is currently used in the device. The insert does not contact the patient or the fluid path, as such, there are not coxicological implications with the insert.

SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE DATA

Testing of the epidural catheter connector was performed in accordance with BS 6196. Performance testing of the proposed modification to the epidural catheter connector demonstrates that it performed equal to or better than our current epidural catheter connector.

SUMMARY OF NONCLINICAL AND CLINICAL TESTS

There were no nonclinical or clinical tests submitted with this submission.

CONCLUSION OF NONCLINICAL AND CLINICAL TESTS
