Intended Use
The Shrouded Plastic Cannula is intended to provide additional protection against inadvertent "needlestick" injuries to health care providers during the administration of fluids and medications. The Shrouded Plastic Cannula provides the ability to penetrate a split septum injection site or Y-site for entry into a intravascular system without the need of a sharp needle.
Device Story
Device consists of shrouded blunt tubular cannula with female luer attachment; connects to male luer lock/slip connectors on tubing sets or syringes. Used by healthcare providers to access intravascular systems via pre-slit, natural rubber septums (e.g., BEC, MED-NET, IMED injection sites). Eliminates need for sharp needles, reducing risk of accidental needlestick injuries during fluid/medication administration.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data; bench testing only. Performance data referenced from predicate device (K945070).
Technological Characteristics
Blunt tubular cannula with female luer attachment. Materials identical to predicate. Sterilization via validated ethylene oxide process.
Indications for Use
Indicated for healthcare providers requiring needleless access to intravascular systems via pre-slit, natural rubber septums for fluid and medication administration.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A hypodermic single lumen needle is a device intended to inject fluids into, or withdraw fluids from, parts of the body below the surface of the skin. The device consists of a metal tube that is sharpened at one end and at the other end joined to a female connector (hub) designed to mate with a male connector (nozzle) of a piston syringe or an intravascular administration set.
