No
The device description and intended use are for a simple plastic holder for venipuncture needles, with no mention of any computational or analytical capabilities. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".

No.
The device is described as a holder for needles used in venipuncture procedures, which is a diagnostic or collection procedure, not a therapeutic one. Its intended use is to facilitate blood collection, not to treat a condition.

No
Explanation: The device description states its use is for routine venipuncture procedures with needles, and it holds a predicate device that is a luer adapter. There is no mention of analysis, diagnosis, or interpretation of patient data. It is a support device for sample collection, not a diagnostic device.

No

The device description clearly states it is a single-use disposable plastic device, indicating it is a physical hardware product, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "routine venipuncture procedures using butterfly needles and/or hypodermic luer needles." This describes a procedure for collecting a sample (blood), not for performing a diagnostic test on a sample.
  • Device Description: The device is a "single-use disposable plastic device to be used in routine venipuncture procedures." This further reinforces its role in sample collection.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze a sample, detect a substance, or provide any diagnostic information. IVDs are designed to perform tests on biological samples to diagnose, monitor, or screen for diseases or conditions.
  • Predicate Device: The predicate device (K921520 Becton Dickinson VACUTAINER® Brand luer adapter) is also a device used for blood collection, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

The VACUETTE® Holdex® Holder is a device used in the collection of a biological sample (blood), which is a step that precedes in vitro diagnostic testing, but the device itself does not perform the diagnostic test.
