The subject device includes a contraindication for pediatric use. This does not impact the safety and effectiveness of subject device as the intended use is still within the scope of the predicate device. Similarly, the subject device is only offered with a syringe volume of 1mL which differs from the predicate device that is offered with a syringe volume of 1mL and 3mL. This does not impact the safety or effectiveness since the operational volume is still within the cleared volume of the predicate device.
Lastly, the supplier of the syringes has changed the material of the barrel from polycarbonate (PC), Calibre Megarad 2081-15 to generic polycarbonate. A biocompatibility evaluation was conducted by the supplier to demonstrate this change does not impact the safety or effectiveness of the Instylla Delivery Kit. The supplier of the syringes also confirmed that the syringes now conform with the requirements of ISO 80369-7. This differs from the predicate device where the barrel of each syringe contained an ISO 594-2 compliant fixed male luer connector. This does not impact the safety and effectiveness of subject device as there are no changes being made to the design or materials of the syringes.
The subject and predicate device differ from one another in packaging and labeling. The intended use, indications, principle of operation, and technological characteristics remain identical between the subject and predicate device.
Performance Data
Verification testing was conducted for product specifications related to packaging changes to the Instylla Delivery Kit. Modifications include updating the label stock suppliers for the shelf box and 2x2 label, adding patient chart peelable labels to the shelf box, and adding a heat-resistant aqueous coating to the shelf box. These changes do not impact the functional design specifications of the Instylla Delivery Kit. Therefore, only packaging validation was repeated for the Instylla Delivery Kit and no additional performance testing was performed.
The syringes of the subject device are compliant against FDA recognized standards ISO 7886-1 and ISO 80369-7.
Biocompatibility Testing
The supplier of the syringes has changed the material of the barrel from polycarbonate (PC), Calibre Megarad 2081-15 to generic polycarbonate. A biocompatibility evaluation was conducted in accordance with the FDA Guidance for Industry, Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, "Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process." The Instylla Delivery Kit with modified packaging and labeling is classified as an external communicating device, indirectly contacting blood for a limited duration (≤24 hours). Biocompatibility testing on the updated syringes was performed per the FDA Guidance. The results of the testing concluded that the updated barrel material supplier does not raise any additional biocompatibility concerns.
