Explanation: The device described is a sharps container, designed for the safe disposal of hazardous sharps, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device is a physical sharps container made of polyethylene plastic with a locking lid, designed for the disposal of hazardous sharps. It is a hardware device, not software.

Based on the provided text, the M500-100 sharps container is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "safe disposal of hazardous sharps" in a medical clinic setting. This is a containment and disposal function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical characteristics of the container (material, lid, size, stability) and its function in holding used syringes and other sharps. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: The text does not mention any components or processes related to testing, analyzing, or diagnosing any medical condition or characteristic using samples from the human body.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The M500-100 sharps container's purpose is solely for the safe handling and disposal of medical waste.

Summary of Performance Studies

In all rest, the M500-100 sharps container met or exceeded the criteria set as pass. These test were conducted using the quidelines of the American Standards for Testing and the British Standards of Testing. This container when filled with water and allowed to stand showed no signs of leaksge from the container. With the lid locked in place and the container filled with syringes the container was dropped from a suspended string 3 feet in the air onto a hard floor. The locked lid did not open up and there were no signs of the contents spilling out or protruding through the bottom. Since syringes are placed into this container sharp side down always in a vertical position, it is unlikely that a sharp could of would protrude through the top.
