Intended Use
The intended use of the device is to inject medicaments subcutaneously, intramuscularly, or via I.V. access ports. This device is intended for all adult patient populations based upon the appropriate needle size selection by the physician or clinician, and is governed by the specific drug being administered. Any pediatric applications is at the discretion of the physician and governed by the specific drug being administered.
Device Description
The Gettig Styrl-Ject® Delivery System is a sterile, single use hypodermic syringe cartridge device designed to be similar to current single use products. The device consists of two basic constituents - a previously filled glass carpule, and plastic syringe. The carpule features a plastic retainer with a frangible button. When ready to use, the carpule retainer button is snapped off, exposing the rubber diaphragm insert. Until, the button is snapped the carpule needle path remains sterile, thus eliminating the need for an alcohol swab. The plastic syringe is also sterile until ready for use via the plunger rod encapsulating the needle rear extension. After removal of the threaded plunger rod, the carpule is then inserted into the clear plastic syringe allowing the syringe needle rear extension to puncture the rubber diaphragm creating a path for medicament administration. Then the syringe plunger rod is engaged with the plunger and the cover (needle or luer) is removed, to allow aspiration and injection. The syringe can be configured for a variety of needle sizes for subcutaneous injection as well as for I.V. applications via butyl and needleless access ports.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use focus on a mechanical syringe system with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No.
The device is a delivery system for injecting medicaments, not the medicament itself or a device that directly provides therapy.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a hypodermic syringe system for injecting medicaments, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one. It delivers substances rather than collecting information for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (glass carpule, plastic syringe, needle, plunger rod) and mechanical actions (snapping off a button, inserting a carpule, engaging a plunger rod) for drug delivery, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is clearly stated as "to inject medicaments subcutaneously, intramuscularly, or via I.V. access ports." This describes a device used for administering substances into the body, not for testing samples from the body to diagnose conditions.
  • Device Description: The description details a syringe and carpule system for delivering medication. It does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Testing of biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detection or measurement of analytes
    • Diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions

The device is a drug delivery system, which falls under a different regulatory category than IVDs.

§ 872.6770 Cartridge syringe.

(a)
Identification. A cartridge syringe is a device intended to inject anesthetic agents subcutaneously or intramuscularly. The device consists of a metal syringe body into which a disposable, previously filled, glass carpule (a cylindrical cartridge) containing anesthetic is placed. After attaching a needle to the syringe body and activating the carpule by partially inserting the plunger on the syringe, the device is used to administer an injection to the patient.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 872.9.
