Intended Use
The Isolyser SDS is a sharps container intended for use in non-clinical settings for the disposal of contaminated sharps.
Device Description
The Isolyser Syringe Disposal System (SDS) has the same uses as other sharps containers in commercial distribution: to provide safe and effective disposal of medical sharps. The major difference between the Isolyser SMS 1000 and the SDS relate to the setting in which the device will be used. The SDS is intended for use in non-clinical settings while the Isolyser SMS 1000 is used in clinical settings. As is true for the Isolyser SMS 1000, the SDS is closable, puncture resistant and leakproof on the sides and the bottom. The fluorescent orange BIOHAZARD warning labels are clearly visible with lettering in contrasting color and are affixed by adhesive to the SDS containers. Like the SMS 1000, the SDS container maintains a stable and upright position. There is no feature to bend, break, or shear the needle off the hub of the syringe. When the SDS is full, the user adds water to the SDS to activate the "Gel-loc" system. After replacing the cap on the SDS, the user shakes the container well. The user then places the SDS into the carton provided and seals it with tape. The user then disposes of the sealed carton according to local, state and federal laws. The disposal methods for the SMS 1000 and the SDS are quite similar. As is true for SMS 1000, the SDS containers are designed so that no user is required to reach by hand into the container to retrieve the contaminated reusable sharps. As indicated on all labels for SDS containers, safe and effective disposal of the waste is easily accomplished.

No
The description focuses on the physical characteristics and disposal mechanism of a sharps container, with no mention of AI or ML technology.

No.
The device is a sharps container for the disposal of contaminated sharps, not for therapeutic use.

No
The device is a sharps container for disposal of contaminated sharps, not a diagnostic device.

No

The device is a physical sharps container, which is a hardware device, not software.

Based on the provided text, the Isolyser SDS is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "disposal of contaminated sharps" in non-clinical settings. This is a waste management function, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical characteristics of a sharps container (closable, puncture resistant, leakproof) and its function in safely containing sharps waste. It also describes a system for solidifying the contents for disposal. None of these functions relate to diagnosing a condition or analyzing a biological sample.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any components or processes related to:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring specific substances in samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment decisions

The Isolyser SDS is clearly described as a device for the safe disposal of medical waste, which falls under a different regulatory category than IVD devices.

As is true for the Isolyser SMS 1000, the SDS is closable, puncture resistant The fluorescent orange and leakproof on the sides and the bottom. BIOHAZARD warning labels are clearly visible with lettering in contrasting color and are affixed by adhesive to the SDS containers. Like the SMS 1000, the SDS container maintains a stable and upright position. There is no feature to bend, break, or shear the needle off the hub of the syringe.

When the SDS is full, the user adds water to the SDS to activate the "Gel-loc" system. After replacing the cap on the SDS, the user shakes the container well. The user then places the SDS into the carton provided and seals it with tape. The user then disposes of the sealed carton according to local, state and federal laws.

The disposal methods for the SMS 1000 and the SDS are quite similar. As is true for SMS 1000, the SDS containers are designed so that no user is required to reach by hand into the container to retrieve the contaminated reusable sharps. As indicated on all labels for SDS containers, safe and effective disposal of the waste is easily accomplished.

(5) Intended Use for Isolyser SDS

The Isolyser SDS is intended for use in non-clinical settings for the disposal of contaminated sharps.

(6) Technical Characteristics for Isolyser SDS

The SDS container has essentially the same technical characteristics as the Isolyser SMS 1000. The materials and method of manufacturing the SDS container itself is nearly identical to the methods used to manufacture the SMS 1000. The only technical difference for the SDS product relates to the method of disposal. To dispose of the SDS, the user applies the Isolyser disposal Gel-Loc System for disposal. To dispose of the Isolyser SMS 1000, the user adds a catalyst to the contents before disposal. This change does not materially affect the safety or effectiveness of the device.

Dear Mr. Bonner:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions The general controls provisions of the Act of the Act. include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major requlations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Requlations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP requlation may result in requlatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531
