More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical needle-free insulin delivery system and explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found".

No
The device is used for the delivery of insulin, which is a therapeutic agent, but the device itself does not provide a therapeutic effect. It is a delivery system.

No
The device is an insulin delivery system, which administers insulin rather than diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description clearly states "Needle-Free Insulin Delivery System," which implies a physical hardware component for delivering insulin. The submission is for a labeling change only, further suggesting an existing 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 "subcutaneous injection of U-100 insulin." This describes a method of delivering a substance into the body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose or monitor a condition.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a "Needle-Free Insulin Delivery System." This further reinforces its function as a delivery mechanism.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device's function is to administer medication, which is a therapeutic action, not a diagnostic one.
