Intended Use
The Compact Auto-Safety Injector (CASI) is indicated for assisting the self-administered subcutaneous injection of fixed doses of FDA approved drug products with viscous liquid formulations, which are presented in standard 1ml long BD Hypak® pre-filled syringes with staked needles. The CASI is primarily intended for home use by patients to aid and support their treatment regime or may be used by Health Care Professionals or caregivers.
Device Story
CASI is a single-use, disposable, hidden-needle auto-injector; facilitates self-administration of subcutaneous injections. Input: 1ml long BD Hypak pre-filled syringe with staked needle containing viscous liquid drug. Operation: mechanical spring-driven mechanism; user triggers injection; needle automatically retracts into device post-injection to prevent needlestick injuries. Used in home settings by patients or by healthcare professionals/caregivers. Output: delivered subcutaneous dose; retracted needle. Benefits: simplified administration for patients; enhanced safety via needle retraction.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Extensive design verification, functional, and performance testing conducted to demonstrate safety and effectiveness.
Technological Characteristics
Single-use, disposable, mechanical auto-injector. Features integrated needle retraction mechanism. Designed for 1ml long BD Hypak pre-filled syringes with staked needles. Non-electronic, spring-actuated.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring subcutaneous injection of fixed-dose, viscous liquid FDA-approved drugs using 1ml long BD Hypak pre-filled syringes with staked needles. Suitable for home use by patients or use by healthcare professionals/caregivers.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A syringe needle introducer is a device that uses a spring-loaded mechanism to drive a hypodermic needle into a patient to a predetermined depth below the skin surface.

## B. Device Information:
Trade/ Proprietary Name: Compact Auto-Safety Injector (CASI)
| Common Name: | Auto-Injector |
|----------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

## C. Comparison of Required Technological Characteristics
The CASI device applies the same technological characteristics as the predicate device. It is designed similarly to the devices that are currently marketed in the U.S.
The key difference of the CASI is that the syringe needle is retracted into the device following injection, rather than remaining exposed or simply covered as in the predicate device. Due to the technological identity and equivalent indications for use of the CASI device and the predicate device, no additional safety items were identified.
## D. Summary and Conclusion of Performance Tests
Extensive design verification, functional and performance testing have been conducted. The information provided in this premarket notification demonstrates that the CASI device is safe and effective for the intended use and is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device.

Dear Ms. Guang:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
