The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and flushing effectiveness of a blunt plastic cannula, with no mention of AI or ML.
No.
The device is described as a cannula to access injection sites and vials for injection/aspiration of fluids, primarily for preventing needlesticks, rather than treating a medical condition.
No.
The device is a blunt plastic cannula used for accessing injection sites and vials, primarily for fluid injection/aspiration and flushing. Its intended use is to replace hypodermic needles and prevent needlesticks, which are functional purposes rather than diagnostic ones.
No
The device description clearly indicates it is a physical, sterile, single-use plastic cannula, not a software product.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the device's function as a replacement for hypodermic needles to access injection sites and vials for fluid injection/aspiration and flushing. This is a direct interaction with the patient's circulatory system or medication delivery system, not the analysis of biological samples in vitro (outside the body).
- Device Description: The description reinforces its use for penetrating septums and accessing fluid paths, consistent with its intended use.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.).
- Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples.
- Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment based on the analysis of biological samples.
- Performance Studies: The performance study focuses on flushing effectiveness within an injection site, which is a functional assessment of the device's mechanical performance in a clinical setting, not an analytical performance study typical of IVDs.
In summary, the B-D® Blunt Plastic Cannula is a medical device used for accessing and manipulating fluids within the body's delivery systems, not for performing diagnostic tests on biological samples.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The B-D® Blunt Plastic Cannula replaces hypodermic needles currently used to access injection sites, as well as, vials designed for penefration with needleless IV access cannula. The B-D@ Blunt Plastic Cannula provides access to fluid path for Injection/aspiration of fluids. Use of this device prevents accidental hypodermic needlesticks in this application. These devices can also be used to flush pre-slit injection sites.

Summary of Performance Studies
The B-D® Blunt Plastic Cannula and competitive cannula were used to flush compatible blood filled injection sites per Becton Dickinson protocol. The number of red blood cells remaining in the injection site measured flushing effectiveness. The experiment was designed to examine the following variables: (1)Cannula brand, (2)Quantity of flush(3 or 10cc), (3) Rotation of syringe during flush, and (4) Cannula insertion depth.
The 0.80" outside diameter of the B-D® Blunt Plastic Cannula stem allows access to the Baxter InterLnk®, Abbott LifeShield®, and McGaw SafeLine® pre-slit septums. Unlike the B-D® Blunt Plastic Cannula, competitive cannula are not compatible with all of these injection sites.
The test accounted for the following variables for flushing injection sites:
- (1) Cannula Brand
- (2) Quantity of Flush The quantity of flush was limited to 3cc and 10cc of saline. For both quantities, the flow rate was 1cc/sec.
- (3) Rotation of Syringe The effect of rotation was examined by allowing rotation for some trials and no rotation for others. However, rotation was not performed with the Abbott LifeShield® pre-slit septum due to the restrictive internal diameter of the site.
- (4) Cannula insertion depth Cannula insertion depth, the length of the cannula within the site, was tested at full and partial insertion of the cannula into the site. For partial insertion, a spacer was placed over the cannula to reduce the length of the cannula within the site by .080". Because the stem length of each cannula and the septum thickness of each injection site varied, spacers were made so that the cannula insertion depth was identical for each cannula/site combination for full and partial insertion for a given experiment.
Conclusion: The B-D® Blunt Plastic Cannula was observed to provide superior flushing effectiveness as compared to the competitive cannula tested.

5.1 Injection Site Flushing Evaluation
Test Description:
The B-D® Blunt Plastic Cannula and competitive cannula were used to flush compatible blood filled injection sites per Becton Dickinson protocol (Tab 4). The number of red blood cells remaining in the injection site measured flushing effectiveness. The experiment was designed to examine the following variables: (1)Cannula brand, (2)Quantity of flush(3 or 10cc), (3) Rotation of syringe during flush, and (4) Cannula insertion depth.
The 0.80" outside diameter of the B-D® Blunt Plastic Cannula stem allows access to the Baxter InterLnk®, Abbott LifeShield®, and McGaw SafeLine® pre-slit septums. Unlike the B-D® Blunt Plastic Cannula, competitive cannula are not compatible with all of these injection sites.
The test accounted for the following variables for flushing injection sites:
- (1) Cannula Brand
- (2) Quantity of Flush The quantity of flush was limited to 3cc and 10cc of saline. For both quantities, the flow rate was 1cc/sec.
- (3) Rotation of Syringe The effect of rotation was examined by allowing rotation for some trials and no rotation for others. However, rotation was not performed with the Abbott LifeShield® pre-slit septum due to the restrictive internal diameter of the site.
- (4) Cannula insertion depth Cannula insertion depth, the length of the cannula within the site, was tested at full and partial insertion of the cannula into the site. For partial insertion, a spacer was placed over the cannula to reduce the length of the cannula within the site by .080". Because the stem length of each cannula and the septum thickness of each injection site varied, spacers were made so that the cannula insertion depth was identical for each cannula/site combination for full and partial insertion for a given experiment.

Summary/Conclusion:
As noted in Section 7.1 of the 510(k), we developed four(4) experiments to assess the flushing effectiveness of competitive cannula. The experiments compared the performance of the cannula in their respective, compatible pre-slit injection sites. Flushing effectiveness was assessed by counting the remaining red blood cells in the injection site after flushing. The injection sites were flushed under controlled test conditions which reflect hospital protocol or user technique.
Conclusion: The B-D® Blunt Plastic Cannula was observed to provide superior flushing effectiveness as compared to the competitive cannula tested.
