No
The device description details a purely mechanical injection pen with no mention of computational or adaptive capabilities.
No.
The device is a drug delivery device designed to inject insulin, but it does not provide any therapeutic effect on its own. The therapeutic effect comes from the insulin, not the injection pen.
No
The device is described as an "Injection Pen" for "injecting insulin into the body," indicating its function is therapeutic (delivery of medication), not diagnostic (identifying a condition).
No
The device description clearly details a physical injection pen with mechanical components (spring-loaded knob, threaded rod and nut mechanism, digital display) for setting and delivering insulin doses. It is a hardware device.
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 injection of insulin into the body." This describes a device used in vivo (within the living body) for drug delivery.
- Device Description: The description details a mechanical device for injecting a substance into the body using a needle. This is consistent with an in vivo drug delivery system.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment. IVDs are used in vitro (outside the living body) for these purposes.
Therefore, the Disetronic Injection Pen is a drug delivery device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Disetronic Injection Pen is a reusable devices that provides a method of accurately injecting a selected dose of insulin from a fluid cartridge through a single lumen hypodermic needle. The device can be used by health professionals or for self-injection by the patient. The device is similar in appearance and size to a ball point pen, hence the description. It is cylindrical in shape and has a retractable dosage know at the top that resembles the "clicker" used to extend and retract the tip of a ball point pen beyond its housing.
The internal mechanisms used to set and activate the injection are identical across the oroduct line. Each pen operates in the following manner. After the cartndge is loaded into the barrel and the needle is attached, the user pushes a button on the side of the pen opposite the digital display. This releases a sonng loaded 'knob' at the top of the pen The knob is then twisted in a clockwise direction which increments the digital display to show the dose to be delivered. The needle can is removed and the needle is inserted into the injection site. The 'knob' at the top of the pen is depressed which advances the plunger to displace the chosen dose. After the injection, the needle is removed from the pen and discarded.
The Pen models are differentiated in that different models of pens differ in the amount of drug represented by each incremental click of the dose setting mechanism. These differences are determined by differences in the threaded rod and nut mechanism of each model which determines the distance, and therefore the dose each click of the dosage knob represents.

§ 880.5860 Piston syringe.
(a)
Identification. A piston syringe is a device intended for medical purposes that consists of a calibrated hollow barrel and a movable plunger. At one end of the barrel there is a male connector (nozzle) for fitting the female connector (hub) of a hypodermic single lumen needle. The device is used to inject fluids into, or withdraw fluids from, the body.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
