No.
The device's intended use is to prevent accidental needle stick injuries, not to treat or diagnose a disease or condition. It is a safety device for healthcare workers.
No
The device is described as a needle protector used to prevent accidental needle stick injuries, not to diagnose any condition.
No
The device description clearly describes a physical, disposable needle protector made of materials and having a hinged assembly, lock, and ribbed area. There is no mention of software components.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to prevent accidental needle stick injuries. This is a physical safety function, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The description details a mechanical device designed to shield a needle after use. It does not involve analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
- Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions
The device is a safety accessory for a medical procedure (hemodialysis/apheresis), not a diagnostic tool.

Device Description
The AV Fistula Needle Protector (AVFNP) is a disposable, single-use, non-sterile needle protector, which is used as an aid in preventing accidental needle stick injuries upon completion of hemodialysis and apheresis procedures. The design of the AVFNP is compatible with currently marketed AV Fistula needle sets produced by most major manufacturers.
The hinged assembly allows the AVFNP to be included on AV Fistula needle sets at the time of manufacture or during a hemodialysis or apheresis procedure (i.e., before needle insertion or just prior to withdrawal). Once the AVFNP is clipped over the tubing, it can be engaged at any time by moving the AVFNP down the tubing to rest behind the butterfly wings of the AV Fistula needle. Prior to withdrawal of the needle, the AVFNP should be held securely between the index finger and thumb while the other hand pulls the tubing and needle assembly into the AVFNP. This position shields the point of the needle. A lock, an additional safety feature, can be activated once the needle has been shielded by pressing the top and bottom of the AVFNP together. This lock restricts further access to the needlepoint and contains any blood that may drop from the needle. An audible click can be heard when the lock is activated.
The AVFNP can be operated with either hand and leaves the other hand free to apply pressure to the puncture point and/or stabilize the AVFNP while withdrawing the needle. The AVFNP can be stabilized by holding, between the index finger and thumb, either the ribbed area on the front (e.g., when health care professional applies pressure to the puncture site during withdrawal of the needle) or the thumb rest on the back (e.g., when patient applies pressure to the puncture site during withdrawal of the needle).
