The solutions meet the specifications of the applicable USP monograph for sodium chloride.
More Information

No
The device description and intended use are for prefilled saline syringes, which are a simple medical device and do not involve AI/ML. The document explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found".

No.
The device is indicated for flushing and maintaining the patency of intravascular catheters, which are maintenance and preventative actions, not therapeutic treatment of a disease or condition.

No
Explanation: The device is described as prefilled syringes with saline solution for flushing and maintaining patency of intravascular catheters, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a prefilled syringe with a saline solution, which are physical components, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is clearly stated as "flushing intravascular catheters and maintaining the patency of indwelling intravascular catheters." This is a therapeutic or procedural use, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces the intended use and mentions the contents (sterile 0.9% saline solution) and the purpose (flushing and maintaining patency). There is no mention of analyzing samples from the body or providing diagnostic information.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in those samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or prognosis of a disease or condition.

The device is a medical device used for a procedural purpose related to maintaining the function of intravascular catheters.

SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE TO:

SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE:

B.Braun has marketed the syringes used in this device since their clearance by the FDA in 1976 (K760392). The solutions used in this device have also been cleared for their intended use by FDA review. The solutions meet the specifications of the applicable USP monograph for 0.9% sodium chloride USP. The processes used to aseptically fill these syringes do not alter the properties or intended use of these materials. The intended use, design, and labeling (warnings and claims) are substantially equivalent to the above listed devices. There are no new issues regarding safety and effectiveness raised by B. Braun Medical, Inc.'s intent to introduce into interstate commerce the Braun Prefilled Syringes.

1 The term "substantially equivalent" as use herein is intended to be a determination of substantial equivalence from a FDA -requlatory point of view under the Federal Food. Drug, and Cosmetic Act and relates to the fact that the product can be marketed without premarket approval or reclassification. These products may be considered distinct from a patent point of view. The term "substantially equivalent" is not applicable to and does not diminish any patent claims related to this product or the technology used to manufacture the product.

SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS:

The aseptic filling of these syringes with the solution does not alter the intended use of the svringe or the solution. The manufacturing processes and controls adhere to currently accepted quidelines and standards of practice.

Currently marketed prefilled syringes incorporate similar features and are available from a number of manufacturers for the same intended use. A review of the current literature and MDRs indicate that there are no additional risks or concerns associated with the use of prefilled syringes solely for use in flushing intravascular catheters or in preventing blood clots in these catheters.
