No

The device description explicitly states it is comprised of polypropylene plastic, indicating it is a physical container and 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 the "collection and disposal of medical sharps." This is a physical containment and disposal function, not a diagnostic test performed in vitro (outside the body) on specimens like blood, urine, or tissue.
  • Device Description: The device is described as an "accessory to a single lumen hypodermic needle" that provides "safe collection of sharps." This reinforces its role in handling medical waste, not in performing a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This sharps container does not fit that description.
