To collect, transport, store, and evaluate capillary blood specimens for hematology and lead tests.
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.

No
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.

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.

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).
