Intended Use

The Medwell Technology Polycarbonate Syringes are intended to inject fluids into or withdraw fluids from the body.

Device Description

The Medwell Technology PC Syringes are provided sterile or in bulk non-sterile for further processing (e.g. sterilization). They are single use devices consisting of rigid polycarbonate barrels with luer slip or luer lock tips and various colored plungers with a synthetic rubber tip (stopper). The syringe barrels are printed with graduated markings in cc (1- 30 milliliters) indicating the volume of liquid inside the various size syringe barrels.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) summary for Medwell Technology Polycarbonate Syringes, a Class II medical device. It details the device description, indications for use, comparison to a predicate device, and non-clinical performance testing.

However, the provided text does not contain information about the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets those criteria in the context of an AI/human-in-the-loop system's diagnostic performance.

The document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence of a physical medical device (syringes) to a previously cleared predicate device, based on material composition, manufacturing methods, physical performance characteristics (like compliance with ISO standards for syringes), biocompatibility, and sterilization. It explicitly states: "Neither animal nor clinical testing was required to demonstrate performance of the subject and predicate devices. Product functionality has been adequately assessed by non-clinical tests."

Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information (acceptance criteria for AI performance, sample sizes for AI test/training sets, expert qualifications, MRMC studies, etc.) from this document because it is irrelevant to AI/diagnostic device performance studies.

The input provided is a medical device clearance document for syringes, not for an AI diagnostic device.

Dear Jonathan Gilbert:

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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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

{1}------------------------------------------------

801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.

*Subject device PC syringe components are comprised of same materials and manufactured using same manufacturing methods. K171131 references identical materials and manufacturing methods for standard PC syringes (NRFIT tip configurations excluded).

**Predicate device was cleared with performance testing supported by 1 year shelf life. 3 year shelf life assigned for subject device is consistent with performance data testing (accelerated aging, device performance and packaging verification) and raises no new questions about safety or performance.

The clinical technique, indications for use, technical specifications, materials used, sterility status (validation and sterility assurance level) as well as the biocompatibility status are identical between the subject and predicate syringes.

{5}------------------------------------------------

8. Non-Clinical Performance Testing:

The performance of the subject Medwell Technology PC Syringes is identical to the predicate devices as no material, manufacturing or technological changes have occurred.

Testing per ISO 7886-1, ISO 80369-7, and ISO 10993-1 were conducted to demonstrate conformance to the recognized standards and substantial equivalence with the predicate device.

Biocompatibility Testing:

In accordance with ISO 10993-1, the syringe complies with the standards for patient contact profile > 24 hrs < 30 days.

Sterile Barrier Packaging Test

Sterile barrier packaging testing was performed on the proposed device, which include visual inspection (ASTM F1886/F1886M-16), seal strength (ASTM F88/F88-15) and dye penetration test (ASTM F1929-15). The test result showed that the device package can maintain its integrity.

Sterilization and Shelf-Life Test

The EO sterilization method has been validated per ISO 11135 and defines the routine control and monitoring parameters. The shelf life of the Sterile Hypodermic Syringe for Single Use is 3 years, determined based on stability studies which includes accelerated aging. Sterilization and shelf-life testing listed were performed on the proposed device.

Animal and Clinical Tests

Neither animal nor clinical testing was required to demonstrate performance of the subject and predicate devices. Product functionality has been adequately assessed by non-clinical tests.

9. Conclusion:

The differences between the predicate and the subject device do not raise any new or different questions of safety or effectiveness. The Medwell Technology PC Syringes are substantially equivalent to the Standard Syringes of K171131 with respect to the indications for use, target populations, treatment method, and technological characteristics.

§ 880.5860 Piston syringe.

(a)
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.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
