More Information

Not Found

No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical device for holding needles during venipuncture and includes performance testing based on mechanical attributes. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML.

No
The device is a needle holder designed to assist in venipuncture for blood collection, which is a diagnostic procedure, not a therapeutic one.

No
The device is a needle holder used during venipuncture to hold a needle or blood collection set; it does not perform any diagnostic function itself.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical, reusable device (needle holder) and describes mechanical testing, indicating it is hardware.

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 a device to "attach and hold a VACUTAINER® Brand needle or VACUTAINER® Blood Collection Set during venipuncture." This describes a device used during the process of collecting a sample from a patient, not a device used to perform a test on a sample in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description reinforces its function as a holder for needles during blood collection.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, providing diagnostic information, or any other activities typically associated with IVD devices.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This needle holder is a tool used in the process of obtaining the specimen, not in the analysis of it.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

In accordance with 21 CFR § 820.30 Design Verification requirements, mechanical testing was conducted to confirm product performance for three key attributes: overtorque (the torque required to activate the release mechanism prematurely), activation force (the force necessary to activate the mechanism to release the needle after venipuncture), and spinout (security of needle after insertion). A total of 30 holders were tested according to established BDVS procedures for these attributes, with results indicating acceptable product performance.
