Intended Use
The Duploject® is intended for use in the simultaneous delivery of two non-homogenous fluids or solutions onto a surgical site. The Duploject® is equipped with a syringe holder, which assures controlled, accurate dispensing, and a needle holder, which allows the contents of the syringes to mix prior to dispensing.
Device Description
The Duploject® is a single-use, disposable syringe, which is used in the application of two nonhomogenous fluids or solutions onto a surgical site. The Duploject® consists of two disposable syringes and withdrawal needles for reconstitution of the solutions. It also contains the following components for use in the simultaneous application of the two solutions: a clip, with a common plunger, is used to join the two identical disposable syringes together and ensures that equal volumes of the two components are fed through a common joining piece and mixed prior to dispensing. Three extra application needles and one extra joining piece are included in the package to use as replacements, if needed. The Duploject® is sterile and non-pyrogenic.

The description focuses on the mechanical function of a syringe for dispensing and mixing fluids, with no mention of AI, ML, or any computational processing.

No
"The Duploject® is a device used for dispensing and mixing fluids onto a surgical site, but it does not directly treat or diagnose a disease or condition. It is a delivery system, not a therapeutic agent itself."

No

The Duploject® is a device for delivering two non-homogenous fluids or solutions onto a surgical site. It does not perform any diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly states it is a single-use, disposable syringe with multiple physical components (syringes, needles, clip, joining piece). This indicates it is a hardware medical device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to deliver fluids onto a surgical site. This is an application directly on or within the body during a surgical procedure.
  • Device Description: The device is a syringe system for applying fluids to a surgical site. It does not involve testing samples of human origin in vitro (outside the body) to provide diagnostic information.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic results.

IVD devices are typically used to examine specimens such as blood, urine, or tissue to diagnose diseases, monitor health, or determine treatment. The Duploject®'s function is purely for the delivery of substances during surgery.
