This category includes open-ended tubes or vessels made of glass or plastic, designed specifically for measuring the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) of whole blood samples. These devices are used in clinical laboratories to assess inflammation by determining how quickly red blood cells settle in a vertical tube over a set time period.
As single-use in vitro diagnostic (IVD) devices, they are intended for one-time use only and may be used independently or in conjunction with other IVD tools such as ESR analysers or scaled rulers for reading results. Their regulation follows general IVD requirements for single-use devices, focusing on safety and performance without claims of sterility or drug content.
