No
The summary describes a simple mechanical connector for fluid administration and contains no mention of AI or ML.

No
This device is an accessory for fluid administration and does not directly provide therapeutic treatment itself.

No
The device is described as an accessory for administering fluids, not for diagnosing conditions or diseases.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical, single-use, sterile, non-pyrogenic device intended for use as an accessory to an intravascular administration set. This indicates a hardware component, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for the administration of fluids to a patient through a cannula placed in a vein or artery. This is a direct interaction with the patient's circulatory system for therapeutic or supportive purposes.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This device does not perform any such testing.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces its use as an accessory to an intravascular administration set, which is consistent with delivering substances into the body, not analyzing samples from the body.

Therefore, the ICU Needleless Connector is a medical device used for patient care, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 880.5440 Intravascular administration set.

(a)
Identification. An intravascular administration set is a device used to administer fluids from a container to a patient's vascular system through a needle or catheter inserted into a vein. The device may include the needle or catheter, tubing, a flow regulator, a drip chamber, an infusion line filter, an I.V. set stopcock, fluid delivery tubing, connectors between parts of the set, a side tube with a cap to serve as an injection site, and a hollow spike to penetrate and connect the tubing to an I.V. bag or other infusion fluid container.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for pharmacy compounding systems within this classification is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Pharmacy Compounding Systems; Final Guidance for Industry and FDA Reviewers.” Pharmacy compounding systems classified within the intravascular administration set are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of this part and subject to the limitations in § 880.9.
