The summary describes a blood collection tube and its performance in comparison to a predicate device, with no mention of AI or ML technology.
No
This device is a blood collection tube used for diagnostic purposes (hematology and lead tests), not for direct treatment or therapy.
No
This device is a blood collection tube, which is used to store and transport samples for testing. While the collected samples are used for diagnostic purposes (hematology and lead tests), the tube itself is not performing the diagnostic evaluation; it is simply a container for the specimen.
No
The device description clearly describes a physical blood collection tube with an anticoagulant additive, which is a hardware component.
Yes, this device is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use explicitly states "To collect, transport, store, and evaluate capillary blood specimens for hematology and lead tests." This involves the examination of specimens derived from the human body (blood) to provide information for diagnostic purposes (hematology and lead tests).
- Device Description: The device is a blood collection tube containing an anticoagulant additive, designed for collecting blood specimens.
- Performance Studies: The summary of performance studies describes the evaluation of assay results from blood collected in this device for hematology parameters and lead tests, comparing them to a predicate device used for the same purpose. This further reinforces its role in diagnostic testing.
- Predicate Device: The predicate device listed (Becton Dickinson's Microtainer® EDTA K tube) is also a blood collection tube used for in vitro diagnostic testing.
All these points align with the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device, which is used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.

Device Description
The Greiner MiniCollect® EDTA K3 tube is a non-sterile, non-evacuated blood collection device containing EDTA K3 anticoagulant additive, and is intended for use in evaluations of capillary blood specimens. The Greiner MiniCollect® tube cap is made from rubber and has "cross-cuts" to allow for direct collection into and sampling from the tube without having to remove the cap.

Summary of Performance Studies
Equivalency of assay results for both tubes was evaluated by testing paired samples collected in Greiner MiniCollect® EDTA K3 tubes and Becton Dickinson Microtainer® Brand EDTA K2 tubes. Test results from paired samples for 15 hematology parameters and lead tests were evaluated and good correlation was observed.

§ 862.1675 Blood specimen collection device.
(a)
Identification. A blood specimen collection device is a device intended for medical purposes to collect and to handle blood specimens and to separate serum from nonserum (cellular) components prior to further testing. This generic type device may include blood collection tubes, vials, systems, serum separators, blood collection trays, or vacuum sample tubes.(b)
Classification. Class II.

I. 510(k) SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS
Greiner Meditech, Inc. ("Greiner") is submitting a 510(k) premarket notification for its Greiner MiniCollect® EDTA tube with EDTA K3 for capillary blood collection. The Greiner MiniCollect® EDTA K3 tube is a non-sterile, non-evacuated blood collection device containing EDTA K3 anticoagulant additive, and is intended for use in evaluations of capillary blood specimens.
Greiner is claiming substantial equivalence to Becton Dickinson's Microtainer® EDTA K > tube (K940905). Both blood collection tubes have intended use and are made out of the same material, polypropylene plastic. The Becton Dickinson Microtainer® EDTA tube uses EDTA K2 as an additive, while the Greiner MiniCollect® EDTA tube uses EDTA K3 as an additive. The Greiner MiniCollect® tube cap is made from rubber and has "cross-cuts" to allow for direct collection into and sampling from the tube without having to remove the cap. The Becton Dickinson Microtainer® Brand EDTA tube caps are made of polyethylene. The equivalency of assay results for both tubes was evaluated by testing paired samples collected in Greiner MiniCollect® EDTA K3 tubes and Becton Dickinson Microtainer® Brand EDTA K2 tubes. Test results from paired samples for 15 hematology parameters and lead tests were evaluated and good correlation was observed.
Greiner's 510(k) has been submitted on August 27 , 1998 by Doug Harris, Managing Director, Greiner Meditech, Inc., 260 Gateway Drive, Suite 17A, Bel Air, MD 21014 (410/836-8228).

Dear Mr. Harris:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory In addition, FDA may publish further announcements action. concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
