More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and other sections do not mention any AI or ML components; it is a simple saline solution for inhalation.

No
The device, Steri-Neb Saline, is described as a solution for respiratory therapy and tracheal lavage, specifically for dilution of solutions used in nebulizers. While it's used in conjunction with respiratory therapy, it's a sterile saline solution and not a therapeutic device itself, but rather a diluent or for lavage.

No

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states "For respiratory therapy and tracheal lavage," which are therapeutic applications, not diagnostic ones. The device description also focuses on its composition and use for dilution or lavage, without any mention of identifying, detecting, or monitoring medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a 3 mL solution of Sodium Chloride, which is a physical substance, 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 "respiratory therapy and tracheal lavage." This involves direct application to the patient's respiratory system, not the examination of specimens taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a sterile saline solution for inhalation and lavage. This is a therapeutic or procedural product, not a diagnostic one.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting substances, or providing information about a patient's health status based on in vitro testing.

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not fit that description.

3. Predicate Device

The predicate device identified for the substantial equivalence claim is Dey's 3 mL 0.9% Sodium Chloride Inhalation Solution USP. This product is distributed by Dey under Automatic Liquid Packaging, Incorporated's 510 (k) K840943, Pre-filled Respiratory Therapy Vial, cleared on April 24, 1983. Dey's Sodium Chloride Inhalation Solution USP 0.9% product is a plastic single-use vial containing sterile preservative-free solution for respiratory therapy and tracheal lavage.

Description of the Subject Device 4.

The subject device is 3 mL Steri-Neb Saline, 0.9% "/v Sodium Chioride Inhalation Solution USP. Steri-Neb Saline is used for respiratory therapy and tracheal lavage. For respiratory therapy, Steri-Neb Saline is used for dilution of solutions used in nebulizers. Steri-Neb Saline is a unit dose low density polyethylene vial containing sterile, preservative-free, clear, colourless, aqueous solution. The Steri-Neb Saline product contains 0.9% w/v Sodium Chloride USP in Water for Injection USP. The formulation contains no additives.

Intended Use of the Subject Device

The Steri-Neb Saline product is 0.9% Sodium Chloride Inhalation Solution USP in a plastic unit-dose vial. The Steri-Neb Saline plastic unit-dose vial is first separated from the strip of vials and then opened by twisting off the top of the vial. The Steri-Neb Saline is used for respiratory therapy and tracheal lavage. For respiratory therapy, the Steri-Neb Saline vial is emptied into the nebulizer reservoir by squeezing the solution from the opened vial. The Steri-Neb Saline product is a sterile single use product. Any solution remaining in the plastic unit-dose vial should be discarded.

Technological Characteristics of the Subject Device Compared to the Predicate ર. Device

The predicate device identified for the substantial equivalence claim is Dey's 3 mL 0.9% w/v Sodium Chloride Inhalation Solution USP. Dey's product is substantially equivalent to the Steri-Neb Saline product in that both products are plastic unitdose vials containing 0.9% Sodium Chloride Inhalation Solution USP for single-use in respiratory therapy and tracheal lavage. The solution for both the predicate and subject device is sterile and preservative-free. Comparison of the predicate device and the subject device indicate that there are no technological differences between the two products that raise new questions of safety and effectiveness. Details of the substantial equivalence claim are included in Attachments 3 through 8.
