Sterile, single use needles intended for use with pen injector devices for the subcutaneous injection of drugs
The Insupen Pen Needle/ Insupen ORIGINAL Pen needle/ Insupen ADVANCED Pen Needle are sterile, single use, single patient pen needles intended for use with pen injector devices for the subcutaneous injection of drugs. Pen needles are used by consumers, caregivers and healthcare professionals. The intended patients for this device is the population from newborn to elderly. The device can be used both in domestic and professional environment. It is considered MR unsafe. The list of drugs tested and intended to be used with Pikdare's pen needle are Insulin, peptic hormone, peptic glucagon-like-1, and drug for the treatment of osteoporosis. All compatibility is checked following the requirements of ISO 11608-2:2012.
The pen needle assembly consists of a double-ended cannula that is assembled into an injection molded hub by gluing. The hub has internal threads which allow it to be screwed onto the pen injector device. This allows the cartridge end of the cannula to penetrate through the rubber septum of the cartridge. The patient end and the cartridge end of the cannula are lubricated using a silicone based lubricant for ease of injection and pen cartridge septum penetration. There is an inner needle shield assembled over the patient end of the cannula to protect the needle tip from damage and accidental needle sticks. Each pen needle is protected with a sealed medical paper which together with the primary container provide a sterility barrier. The pen needle is packaged in boxes and sterilized with ETO. It is intended for single patient and single use only. To use a pen needle, the user needs to remove the medical paper, screw the needle onto the pen injector device. Then the user removes both the outer cap and the inner protective cap to expose the needle and make an injection. After the injection, the needle is unscrewed from the pen injector device and disposed in an appropriate container respecting applicable regulations and laws.
The document describes the acceptance criteria and study results for the Pikdare Insupen Pen Needle, Insupen ORIGINAL Pen Needle, and Insupen ADVANCED pen needle.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
The document states that "Test were performed on both products, the total availability on sample of the fact that the Predicate Device is manufactured in Pikdare factory in Italy (Pikdare is the contract manufacturer of Droplet G34 Pen Needle)." This implies the testing was done on the actual manufactured products (both the subject device and the predicate device).
- Sample size: Not explicitly stated with a specific number for each test, but it is implied that sufficient samples were used to meet the requirements of the listed ISO standards.
- Data provenance: The predicate device is manufactured in Italy by Pikdare S.p.A. The testing described for both the subject device and the predicate device was presumably performed by or on behalf of Pikdare S.p.A. in Italy. All tests refer to recognized international standards (ISO).
- Retrospective or prospective: The data appears to be prospective, collected specifically for the 510(k) submission to demonstrate compliance with standards and substantial equivalence.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
Not applicable. This is a medical device (pen needle) conformity assessment, not an AI or diagnostic imaging study that relies on expert interpretation for ground truth. The "ground truth" here is defined by meeting the objectively measurable criteria specified in ISO and ASTM standards.
4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
Not applicable, for the same reason as point 3. The assessment is based on objective measurements against predefined standards.
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:
No. This is not an AI-assisted diagnostic device.
6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
Not applicable. This is not an AI-based device.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
The "ground truth" is defined by the technical specifications and performance requirements established by recognized international standards (e.g., ISO 11608-2, ISO 9626, ISO 10993-1, ISO 7864, ASTM F756, USP General Chapter <151>). The device performance is objectively measured against these established criteria.
8. The sample size for the training set:
Not applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning device that requires a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device.

Description of Device: [807.92(a)(4)]
The Insupen Pen Needle/ Insupen ORIGINAL Pen needle/ Insupen ADVANCED Pen Needle are sterile, single use, single patient pen needles intended for use with pen injector devices for the subcutaneous injection of drugs. Pen needles are used by consumers, caregivers and healthcare professionals. The intended patients for this device is the population from newborn to elderly. The device can be used both in domestic and professional environment. It is considered MR unsafe. The list of drugs tested and intended to be used with Pikdare's pen needle are Insulin, peptic hormone, peptic glucagon-like-1, and drug for the treatment of osteoporosis. All compatibility is checked following the requirements of ISO 11608-2:2012.
The pen needle assembly consists of a double-ended cannula that is assembled into an injection molded hub by gluing. The hub has internal threads which allow it to be screwed onto the pen injector device. This allows the cartridge end of the cannula to penetrate through the rubber septum of the cartridge. The patient end and the cartridge end of the cannula are lubricated using a silicone based lubricant for ease of injection and pen cartridge septum penetration. There is an inner needle shield assembled over the patient end of the cannula to protect the needle tip from damage and accidental needle sticks. Each pen needle is protected with a sealed medical paper which together with the primary container provide a sterility barrier. The pen needle is packaged in boxes and sterilized with ETO.

(1) Wall definition are declared based on the current revision of the standard.
In conclusion, analyzing the main differences between the subject device and the Predicate device, below these are the main consideration:
-
Pikdare Pen Needles are manufactured using both AISI304L and AISI 305 while the Predicate devices use AISI 304L only. AISI 305 is mentioned in the ISO 9626:2016 where it is stated that "tubing shall be made in the stainless steels listed in the ISO 15510" and our material is included in the standard, therefore there is no new impact on safety and performances.
-
Needle features and wall are confirmed to be compliant with ISO 9626 considering all the possible dimensions defining the wall. So there is no risk about the safety of the subject device With reference to needle's size G34, which is not covered by ISO 9626 requirements for stiffness, Pikdare SpA chooses to characterize the tube of this needle according to thestiffness test limits of G33 TW (as defined in ISO 9626:2016).
-
The Pikdare pen needle will be under OTC as well as the Predicate device K192082,
{8}------------------------------------------------
- The Pikdare pen needle intended use is for injection of drugs in general as well as the Predicate device K192082. This feature does not introduce critical differences and new risks (migration and transfer tests has been carried out on needles with both intended uses).
The differences above indicated do not raise new questions of safety and/or functionality for the subject device. Considering that the Predicate device is covering G34 and 3,5mm only, while the Subject device is intended to cover the range of pen needles of G29 - G30 - G31 - G32 - G33 and G34 with lengths varying from 12mm to 3,5mm. we can declare that the products with extended gauges and lengths do not pose any new concerns in terms of safety and performance, since they have been submitted to tests according to the following recognized consensus standards:
-ISO 11608-2 Needle based injection system for medical use - Requirements and test methods - part 2: needles
-ISO 9626 Stainless steel needle tubing for the manufacture of Medical Devices – Requirements and Test Methods
-ISO 10993-1 Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a Risk management Process
and the risk assessment carried out on them hasn't identified further risks not reduced to unacceptable level.
So, Pikdare pen needle product line has been demonstrated not having any impact on functional compatibility related to the combination of the pen needle with the pen injector devices including dose accuracy and limited differences in flow rates directly related to the differences of needle's internal diameter.
Based upon the above comparisons to the Predicate device. Pikdare Pen Needles are substantially equivalent to the Predicate device.
Non-Clinical Performance Data: [(807.92(b)(1)]
