Intended Use
The syringe, as supplied, is a device with a small barrel, plunger and fixed needle, calibrated in units of insulin (U-100), to be used to administer (infuse) insulin subcutaneously. It incorporates features that include reuse prevention and sharps injury prevention.
Device Story
1mL Unitract Insulin Syringe is a sterile, single-use, fixed-needle syringe for subcutaneous insulin delivery. Device features include automatic needle retraction and auto-disable mechanism to prevent reuse and sharps injuries. Operation involves manual filling and injection; upon completion of the injection stroke, the plunger engages a spring-based mechanism at the proximal end, triggering automatic needle retraction into the barrel. Simultaneously, the plunger locks into the outer collar, preventing further movement. Used by patients or clinicians for insulin administration. Benefits include reduced risk of needle-stick injuries and prevention of syringe reuse.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance testing verified design specifications, including peak activation forces for retraction, spring reaction forces, and auto-disable override forces. Chemical testing included extractable trace metals, non-volatile residue, and pH. Biocompatibility testing included cytotoxicity and pyrogens, with fluid path materials meeting USP Class VI requirements. Sterilization validated per DIN EN 550:1994.
Technological Characteristics
Fixed-needle piston syringe; 27G x 1/2" or 29G x 1/2" needle sizes. Materials: biocompatible plastics and stainless steel. Energy source: mechanical spring-based retraction. Sterilization: ethylene oxide (EO) per DIN EN 550:1994. Connectivity: none (standalone).
Indications for Use
Indicated for subcutaneous administration of U-100 insulin in patients requiring insulin therapy.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A piston syringe is a device intended for medical purposes that consists of a calibrated hollow barrel and a movable plunger. At one end of the barrel there is a male connector (nozzle) for fitting the female connector (hub) of a hypodermic single lumen needle. The device is used to inject fluids into, or withdraw fluids from, the body.

| Device Description: | The 1mL Unitract® Insulin Syringe is a sterile, fixed needle, single<br>use, syringe, consisting of a barrel and plunger assembly. The<br>syringe is supplied in two needle sizes, being 27G x ½" and 29G x<br>½".<br><br>The devices function in a manner similar to standard syringes for<br>filling and mixing insulin and subcutaneous injection, but also<br>incorporates a sharps injury prevention (automatic needle retraction)<br>and reuse prevention (auto disable) feature.<br><br>The syringe, as supplied, is a device with a small barrel, plunger and<br>fixed needle, calibrated in units of insulin (U-100), to be used to<br>administer (infuse) insulin subcutaneously. It incorporates features<br>that include reuse prevention and sharps injury prevention.<br><br>The sharps injury prevention feature allows for automatic and full<br>retraction of the needle into the syringe barrel immediately after the<br>full dose has been expelled; where the rate of retraction may be<br>controlled by the user. The reuse prevention feature also engages<br>immediately after retraction, which prevents further movement of<br>the plunger in either direction. |

Below the word "UNILIFE" is the phrase "medical solutions" in a smaller font. To the right of the word "UNILIFE" is a graphic that looks like a backwards "L" shape.
Substantial Equivalence:
The 1mL Unitract® Insulin Syringe has identical indications for use to the cited predicate # K080877 which is to infuse drugs; whilst incorporating a sharps injury prevention feature. The device design and technology is identical to K080877. The label changes to the 1mL Unitract® Insulin Syringe do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness based on its similarities to the cited predicates in terms of design and intended use.
The ImL Unitract® Insulin Syringe has identical needle retraction mechanisms to the cited predicate # K080877. The syringe is filled; and at the end of the injection stroke once the full dose has been expelled, the plunger engages the needle to allow retraction into the syringe barrel. The auto disable feature of the 1mL Unitract® Insulin Syringe is integrated within the plunger design, where after full retraction, the plunger engages with the collar outer to prevent movement of the plunger in either direction. This feature requires no secondary action by the user to disable the syringe.
The characteristics of the 1mL Unitract® Insulin Syringe spring based mechanism are identical to the technology of the cited predicate # K080877. The 1mL Unitract® Insulin Syringe spring mechanism is located on the proximal end of the syringe to allow retraction into the barrel.
The design of the 1mL Unitract® Insulin Syringe integrates the technological design characteristics of the cited predicate, and having identical operating procedures for aspiration and injection, has been demonstrated to have no significant differences.
The syringe components are manufactured from biocompatible materials and stainless steel.
Mechanical performance tests were conducted to verify the device meets design specifications based on the requirements of the FDA Consensus Standard and the voluntary standards.
Additional performance testing was conducted on the safety features relating to peak activation forces of the retraction mechanism, spring reaction forces and forces to override the auto disable feature.
Chemical testing included Reducing (Oxidisable) Matter, Extractable Trace Metals, Non-Volatile Residue, pH and chemical residues (EO Sterilisation).
Biocompatibility testing of the finished devices included Cytotoxicity and Pyrogens; with all materials in the fluid path meeting USP Class VI requirements.
Sterilisation processes are validated to European Standard DIN EN 550:1994, Sterilisation of medical devices - Validation and routine control of ethylene oxide sterilisation to a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10°.
Manufacturing process control requires functional, chemical and biological tests be performed on each production lot number.
The 1mL Unitract® Insulin Syringe with 27G x 1/2" or 29G x 1/2" needle submitted in this 510(k) is determined as substantially equivalent to the cited predicate devices based on performance testing, intended use and design principles of operation and technology, used for the subcutaneous infusion of insulin.
