No
The summary describes a blood collection tube, which is a passive device and does not mention any computational or analytical capabilities that would involve AI/ML.

No
This device is a blood collection tube used for evaluating blood-sedimentation-rates, which is a diagnostic purpose, not a therapeutic one. Therapeutic devices are used for treating or alleviating a disease or condition.

No
The device is a blood collection tube used to evaluate blood sedimentation rates, which is a measurement rather than a diagnostic interpretation itself.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "blood collection device," which is a physical hardware component.

Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "To evaluate blood-sedimentation-rates". This is a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample (blood) outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The device is a "blood collection tube with citrate solution" used for "evaluations of blood sedimentation rate". This confirms it's a tool used to collect and prepare a sample for an in vitro diagnostic test.

The core function of the device is to facilitate a diagnostic test performed on a sample taken from the body, which is the definition of an in vitro diagnostic device.

I. 510(K) SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS

Greiner America, Inc. ("Greiner") is submitting a 510(k) premarket notification for its Greiner Vacuette® eurythrocyte sedimentation rate ("ESR") blood collection tube with citrate solution. The Greiner Vacuette® ESR blood collection tube with citrate solution is an evacuated blood collection device intended for use in evaluations of blood sedimentation rate.

Greiner is claiming substantial equivalence to Becton Dickinson's Vacutainer® brand citrate ESR tube. Both blood collection tubes have the same intended use and contain the same stopper material and additive. The tube material for both the Greiner product and for the Becton Dickinson product is glass. The equivalency of assay results of the two tubes was evaluated by testing paired samples collected in Greiner Vacuette® tubes and Becton Dickinson Vacutainer® tubes. Test results from paired samples for eurythrocyte sedimentation rate were evaluated and good correlation was observed.

Greiner's 510(k) has been submitted on April 1, 1997, by Ed Maier, Managing Director, Greiner America, Inc., P.O. Box 953279, Lake Mary, Florida 32795-3279 (407/333-2800).
