Intended Use
The product is a standard piston type hypodermic syringe. Such device will be used to draw a quantity of pharmaceutical from its container and allow administration of the pharmaceutical directly to the patient. As an alternative use, and which the product will be specifically marketed for, the product will allow administration of the pharmaceutical to the patient via an intravenous port, heparin lock, or saline lock.
Device Description
The Ulti Care Low Dead Space syringe is substantially equivalent to the Becton Dicksnson MedSaver The syringe. The device is intended to minimize the consumption of expensive pharmacenticals by reducing the distance between the calibrated barrel of the syringe and the needle. The devise has a permanently attached needle that eliminates the tip and hub-of a normal needle/syringe combination. This results in less waste of pharmaceutical and greater efficiency. The intended device has the same technological characteristics as the presently marketed Becton Dickinson MedSaver using a manually operated piston type hypodemic syringe, injected molded plastic parts, a synthetic latex gasket and permanently attached stainless steel needle.

No
The description details a standard mechanical syringe with a focus on reducing dead space. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any computational processing that would suggest AI/ML.

No.
The device is a syringe used for administering pharmaceuticals, not for therapeutic treatment itself. It's an administration device, not a therapeutic device.

No
The device is described as a hypodermic syringe used for administering pharmaceuticals, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical syringe with a piston, barrel, needle, and gasket, indicating it is a hardware device.

Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to draw and administer pharmaceuticals directly to a patient, either directly or via an intravenous port. This is a direct interaction with the patient's body for therapeutic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details a standard hypodermic syringe with a permanently attached needle, designed for injecting substances into the body.
  • 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) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.

IVD devices are used outside the body to analyze samples and provide diagnostic information. This syringe is used inside the body to deliver medication.
