Profile: Medical Wire & Equipment Co. Ltd. offers products for veterinary, obstetrics and gynecology fields. We provide Transwabs® & Virocult®, Dryswabs®, specimen containers, Amnicators® and laboratory products for obstetrics & gynecology field. The Amnicators are the method for the easy and rapid detection of amniotic fluid, which is a sign of prematurely ruptured foetal membranes during pregnancy. They are swabs with nitrazine-impregnated buds which rapidly change color from yellow to blue in the presence of amniotic fluid. The Transwabs and Dryswabs are designed for optimum specimen collection, which are available in shaft-standard plastic, fine plastic, straight wire and flexible twisted wire. We also manufacture a number of products for monitoring sterility, and hygiene or cleanliness in sterile or clean production areas.

• Amniotic Fluid Sampler (FDA Code: HIO / 884.1550)

The amniotic fluid sampler (amniocentesis tray) is a collection of devices used to aspirate amniotic fluid from the amniotic sac via a transabdominal approach. Components of the amniocentesis tray include a disposable 3 inch 20 gauge needle with stylet and a 30 cc. syringe, as well as the various sample collection accessories, such as vials, specimen containers, medium, drapes, etc. The device is used at 16-18 weeks gestation for antepartum diagnosis of certain congenital abnormalities or anytime after 24 weeks gestation when used to assess fetal maturity.

• Anaerobic Transport Culture Media (FDA Code: JSL / 866.2390)

A transport culture medium is a device that consists of a semisolid, usually non-nutrient, medium that maintains the viability of suspected pathogens contained in patient specimens while in transit from the specimen collection area to the laboratory. The device aids in the diagnosis of disease caused by pathogenic microorganisms and also provides epidemiological information on these diseases.

• Cotton Swabs

• Culture Media Quality Control Kit (FDA Code: JTR / 866.2480)

A quality control kit for culture media is a device that consists of paper discs (or other suitable materials), each impregnated with a specified, freeze-dried, viable microorganism, intended for medical purposes to determine if a given culture medium is able to support the growth of that microorganism. The device aids in the diagnosis of disease caused by pathogenic microorganisms and also provides epidemiological information on these diseases.

• Culture Media Supplements (FDA Code: JSK / 866.2450)

A supplement for culture media is a device, such as a vitamin or sugar mixture, that is added to a solid or liquid basal culture medium to produce a desired formulation and that is intended for medical purposes to enhance the growth of fastidious microorganisms (those having complex nutritional requirements). This device aids in the diagnosis of diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms.

• ENT Applicator (FDA Code: KCJ / 874.5220)

An ear, nose, and throat drug administration device is one of a group of ear, nose, and throat devices intended specifically to administer medicinal substances to treat ear, nose, and throat disorders. These instruments include the powder blower, dropper, ear wick, manual nebulizer pump, and nasal inhaler.

• Labeled Medical Laboratory Equipment (FDA Code: LXG / 862.2050)

General purpose laboratory equipment labeled or promoted for a specific medical use is a device that is intended to prepare or examine specimens from the human body and that is labeled or promoted for a specific medical use.

• Microbiology Diagnostic Device (FDA Code: LIB / 866.2660)

A microorganism differentiation and identification device is a device intended for medical purposes that consists of one or more components, such as differential culture media, biochemical reagents, and paper discs or paper strips impregnated with test reagents, that are usually contained in individual compartments and used to differentiate and identify selected microorganisms. The device aids in the diagnosis of disease.

• Microorganism Differentiation Strip and Reagent Disc (FDA Code: JTO / 866.2660)

• Non-Propagating Transport Culture Media (FDA Code: JSM / 866.2390)

• Non-Sterile Absorbent Tipped Applicator (FDA Code: KXF / 880.6025)

An absorbent tipped applicator is a device intended for medical purposes that consists of an absorbent swab on a wooden, paper, or plastic stick. The device is used to apply medications to, or to take specimens from, a patient.

• Quality Control Kits (FDA Code: JTR / 866.2480)

• Selective and Differential Culture Media (FDA Code: JSI / 866.2360)

A selective culture medium is a device that consists primarily of liquid or solid biological materials intended for medical purposes to cultivate and identify certain pathogenic microorganisms. The device contains one or more components that suppress the growth of certain microorganisms while either promoting or not affecting the growth of other microorganisms. The device aids in the diagnosis of disease caused by pathogenic microorganisms and also provides epidemiological information on these diseases.

• Selective and Non-Differential Culture Media (FDA Code: JSJ / 866.2360)

• Specimen Collection Device (FDA Code: LIO / 866.2900)

A microbiological specimen collection and transport device is a specimen collecting chamber intended for medical purposes to preserve the viability or integrity of microorganisms in specimens during storage of specimens after their collection and during their transport from the collecting area to the laboratory. The device may be labeled or otherwise represented as sterile. The device aids in the diagnosis of disease caused by pathogenic microorganisms.

• Stainless Steel Surgical Wire

• Sterile Absorbent Tipped Applicator (FDA Code: KXG / 880.6025)

• Sterile Cotton Swabs

• Sterile Specimen Container (FDA Code: FMH / 864.3250)

A specimen transport and storage container, which may be empty or prefilled, is a device intended to contain biological specimens, body waste, or body exudate during storage and transport in order that the matter contained therein can be destroyed or used effectively for diagnostic examination. If prefilled, the device contains a fixative solution or other general purpose reagent to preserve the condition of a biological specimen added to the container. This section does not apply to specimen transport and storage containers that are intended for use as part of an over-the-counter test sample collection system for drugs of abuse testing.
