17 devices · GMDN 58169
This category includes single-use containers designed to collect and hold specimens from the oral or respiratory tract, such as saliva, sputum, or nasal secretions, without any added chemicals or growth media. These devices are used in both home and clinical settings to gather samples for later laboratory analysis, such as detecting infections or measuring biomarkers.
As single-use devices with no additives, they are regulated as in vitro diagnostic (IVD) tools and are typically supplied sterile or clean for immediate use. Their classification depends on the intended use and jurisdiction, but they do not include swabs, brushes, or other sampling components—only the receptacle itself.
