(165 days)
The Halo® system is an airtight and leak proof closed system drug (CSTD) that mechanically prohibits the transfer of environmental contaminants into the system and the escape of drug or vapor concentrations outside the system, thereby minimizing individual and environmental exposure to drug vapor, aerosols and spills. The Halo® system also prevents microbial ingress for up to 7 days.
The Halo® is a Closed System Transfer Device (CSTD) for the safe handling of hazardous drugs, especially for the compounding and administering of hazardous drugs according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) definition of an airtight and leak proof closed system transfer device. It is a sterile singleuse device. There are five components of the Halo® system, Closed Vial Adaptor (CVA), Closed Syringe Adaptor (CSA), Closed Bag Adaptor (CBA), Closed Line Adaptor (CLA), and Closed Vial Converter (CVC). These components integrate with industry standard luer-lock syringes, IV bags, infusion sets, and other patient connections to form a complete closed system. This system prohibits the transfer of environmental contaminants into the system and the escape of drug or vapor concentrations outside the system, thereby minimizing individual and environmental exposure to drug vapor, aerosols, and spills. In addition, the components are designed to prevent microbial ingress into the system, including maintaining sterility of drugs in the vial for up to 7 davs. The ability to prevent microbial ingress for up to 7 days should not be interpreted as modifying, extending, or superseding a manufacturer labeling recommendations for the storage and expiration dating. Refer to drug manufacturer's recommendations and USP compounding guidelines for shelf life and sterility information.
The system uses industry compatible luer locks, bag spikes and spike ports, dual lumen spikes, single lumen needles, and dry to dry compression fit seals when connecting Halo® components together. A single lumen needle perforates the dry-to-dry compression fit seals for the transfer of drugs between Halo® components. Upon separation the needle is retracted and the seal membrane prevents transfer of environmental contaminants into the system and/or escape of drug or vapor.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not explicitly state the specific sample sizes (number of devices or tests performed) for each individual test conducted on the Halo® system. It implies that these tests were conducted as part of the regulatory submission (K180574 and referencing K150486).
- Sample Size: Not explicitly stated for each test.
- Data Provenance: The studies were conducted by J & J Solutions, Inc. d/b/a Corvida Medical and their testing partners for regulatory submission to the FDA. This is considered prospective data for the purpose of demonstrating substantial equivalence. The document doesn't specify the country of origin of the labs, but given the FDA submission, it's typically within the US or by labs adhering to US regulatory standards.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
This section is not applicable to this type of device and study. The Halo® system is a medical device (Closed System Transfer Device) for safe handling of hazardous drugs. Its performance is evaluated through laboratory-based, objective performance testing against established engineering, biological, and chemical standards (e.g., ISO, ASTM, USP). There is no "ground truth" to be established by human experts in the context of diagnostic interpretation, as this is not a diagnostic device.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This section is not applicable for the same reason as point 3. Adjudication methods are typically used in studies where human interpreters (e.g., radiologists, pathologists) determine a "ground truth" or make diagnoses, and discrepancies need to be resolved. The performance of the Halo® device is measured by quantitative and qualitative outcomes against predefined technical and safety specifications.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, If So, What Was the Effect Size of How Much Human Readers Improve with AI vs Without AI Assistance
This section is not applicable. The Halo® system is a physical medical device, not an AI or diagnostic software. Therefore, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving human readers with/without AI assistance is irrelevant to its evaluation.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
This section is not applicable. As stated above, this is a physical medical device, not a software algorithm.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
The "ground truth" for the Halo® device's performance is established through:
- Engineering and Physical Test Standards: Compliance with ISO (e.g., ISO 594, ISO 8536), ASTM (e.g., F2096, F1886, F88), and USP (e.g., USP 788) standards. These standards define the expected physical and chemical properties and performance limits.
- Biological Test Standards: Compliance with ISO 10993 series for biocompatibility and ISO 11135, ISO 11737-1, AAMI/ANSI ST72 for sterility.
- Direct Measurement of Device Functionality: Observing and quantifying performance metrics like "no leaks" in fluorescein or alcohol vapor tests, "pass" for force measurements, and direct measurement of microbial ingress protection (e.g., 7 days protection after 14 penetrations).
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
This section is not applicable. The Halo® system is a mechanical and biological device that is validated through physical and chemical testing, not through machine learning or AI. Therefore, there is no "training set" in the context of data-driven model development.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
This section is not applicable for the same reason as point 8.

SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE TESTING
Results from tests completed on the Halo® components demonstrate it to be an easy to use device that prevents microbial ingress and/or escape of drug or vapor through multiple reconnections of components up to 14 times and are substantially equivalent with respect to operational performance. Product testing consisted of the following:
| Product Functional Testing | Results |
|---|---|
| • Fluorescein Leak Test | No Leaks |
| • Alcohol Vapor Leak Test | No Leaks |
| • Pressure Test | No Leaks |
| • Insertion (Connection) and Retention Force | Pass |
| • ISO594-1 Part 1: General Requirements | Pass |
| • ISO 594-2 Part 2: Lock Fittings | Pass |
| • ISO 8536-4 Infusion equipment for medical use: Part 4 | Pass |
Package Integrity and Shelf Life
Packaging and Shelf Life validation was performed on aged Halo® packaging according to ASTM F2096: Standard Test Method for Detecting Gross Leaks in Medical Packaging by Internal Pressurization, ASTM F1886: Standard Test Method for Determining Integrity of Seals for Medical Device Packaging by Visual Inspection, and ASTM F88 standard test method for seal strength of flexible barrier materials. All testing passed.
Biocompatibilitv
Biocompatibility testing was performed on the Halo® materials according to FDA Guidance and ISO 10993-1 Biological evaluation of medical devices -- Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process. Testing included cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, systemic toxicity, and hemocompatibility according to standards set forth in ISO 10993- 4, Biological evaluation of medical devices -- Part 4: Selection of tests for interactions with blood, ISO 10993- 5, Biological evaluation of medical devices -- Part 5: Tests for In Vitro cytotoxicity, ISO 10993-10 Biological evaluation of medical devices -- Part 10: Tests for irritation and skin sensitization, and ISO 10993-11 Biological evaluation of medical devices -- Part 11: Tests for systemic toxicity. All testing passed. A chemical characterization and toxicological risk assessment was used to evaluate the subchronic systemic toxicity endpoint (see Extractables Screening section below).
{10}------------------------------------------------
Sterility
Sterilization validation was performed on the finished Halo® components according to ISO 11135 Sterilization of health-care products -- Ethylene oxide -- Requirements for the development, validation and routine control of a sterilization process for medical devices. Testing included pyrogenicity, bioburden, and EO residuals to standards set forth in ISO 10993-7 Biological evaluation of medical devices -- Part 7: Ethylene oxide sterilization residuals, ISO 11737-1 Sterilization of medical devices --Microbiological methods -- Part 1: Determination of a population of microorganisms on products, and AAMI/ANSI ST72 bacterial endotoxins - test methods, routine monitoring, and alternatives to batch testing. All testing passed.
DMA Compatibility
Compatibility testing was performed to validate Halo® compatibility with antineoplastic drugs and DMA(N,N-dimethylacetamid). Halo® was found to be compatible.
Extractables Screening
Extractables screening was completed to determine what compounds and their estimated concentrations are extracted from the Halo® Closed System Transfer Device for hazardous drugs (CSTD) under the conditions of the extractions (72 hours at 37°C) when extracted in the following solvents: hexane, 50% ethanol, pH 3 (HCI adjusted) 0.9% saline, and 33% aqueous dimethylacetamide (DMA). A toxicological risk assessment was performed on the extracted compounds.
Microbial Ingress Protection
Microbial ingress testing was performed on Halo® to validate microbial ingress protection after repetitive needle penetration of the seal. These test results were originally reported in K150486. Testing results demonstrate Halo® was protected against microbial ingress for a period of 7 days after breaching the seal 14 times with the CSA needle. All sealing features remain the same as the predicate devices and the design changes do not modify any of the sealing properties from the original predicate devices. The ability to prevent microbial ingress for up to 7 days should not be interpreted as modifying, extending, or superseding a manufacturer labeling recommendations for the storage and expiration dating. Refer to drug manufacturer's recommendations and USP compounding guidelines for shelf life and sterility information.
Particulate Testing
Particulate contamination testing was performed on the Halo® system according to USP 788 to demonstrate lack of contamination. Testing results demonstrated particulate levels in the Halo system are low and meet USP 788 requirements.
{11}------------------------------------------------
Substantial Equivalence Conclusion
Performance testing established that the proposed Halo® devices performed substantially equivalent (SE) to the performance testing on the predicate Halo® devices. Equivalence was determined using a side by side tabular comparison between the predicate and proposed Features, Intended Use, Labeling, Materials, Specifications, Performance Data, and Technological Aspects. The proposed devices are Substantially Equivalent to the predicate devices.
Based on the analysis of the comparison between the predicate and proposed devices regarding risk analysis, design controls, and performance evaluation the data shows the modifications do not raise different questions of safety or efficacy and demonstrates substantial equivalence to the predicate device.
