Intended Use

The I.V. Catheter System is designed to gain access to and deliver a short term (<30 days) intravascular catheter into the patient's vascular system to sample blood, monitor blood pressure, or administer fluids.

Device Story

I.V. Catheter System provides short-term vascular access for blood sampling, pressure monitoring, or fluid administration. Device comprises a catheter tube, hub, and introducer housing containing a stainless steel needle, flash chamber, and passive safety mechanism. During insertion, the needle automatically blunts as the catheter is threaded into the vessel; the blunt tip locks in place to prevent accidental needlesticks during disposal. Used in clinical settings by healthcare providers; requires no change to conventional venipuncture technique. Benefits include reduced risk of sharps injuries to clinicians while maintaining standard catheter performance.

Clinical Evidence

Simulated use study with 50 participants and 500 insertions. Primary endpoints: successful insertion, sharps injury incidence, and user feedback on technique. Results: 100% success rate; zero sharps injuries or protective feature failures reported. Participants confirmed the device is intuitive and requires no change to standard clinical technique.

Technological Characteristics

Stainless steel needle; radiopaque catheter; passive self-blunting safety mechanism; EtO sterilized. Meets ISO 10993-1 (biocompatibility) and ISO 10555-5 (introducer needle) standards. Manual insertion; 1-handed or 2-handed operation.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring short-term (<30 days) vascular access for blood sampling, blood pressure monitoring, or fluid administration via an intravascular catheter.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An intravascular catheter is a device that consists of a slender tube and any necessary connecting fittings and that is inserted into the patient's vascular system for short term use (less than 30 days) to sample blood, monitor blood pressure, or administer fluids intravenously. The device may be constructed of metal, rubber, plastic, or a combination of these materials.

Catheter System Johnson & Johnson Medical 2500 Arbrook Boulevard P.O. Box 90130 Arlington, Texas 76004-3130 Date: February 6, 1998 # 1. REGULATORY AUTHORITY Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990, 21 CFR 807.92 ## 2. CONTACT PERSON Linda G. Hill (817) 784-4791 ### 3. NAME OF MEDICAL DEVICE: Catheter, Intravascular, Short Term Classification Name: Common/Usual Name: I.V. Catheter Proprietary Name: To be determined #### 4. DEVICE CLASSIFICATION: The General Hospital Panel has classified Intravascular Catheters (21 CFR 880.5200) into Class II, Special Controls under section 513 of the Act. ### 5. STATEMENT OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE: The I.V. Catheter System is substantially equivalent to JJM's existing CRITIKON* OCR I.V. Catheter and to Bio-Plexus' existing Punctur-Guard® Blood Collection Needle. See attached Comparison Matrix, Table 1. ### 6. INTENDED USE: The I.V. Catheter System is designed to gain access to and deliver a short term (<30 days) intravascular catheter into the patient's vascular system to sample blood, monitor blood pressure, or administer fluids. {1}------------------------------------------------ ### 510(k) SUMMARY (continued) ## 7. DESCRIPTION OF DEVICE: The I.V. Catheter System contains a short term intravascular catheter and a catheter introducer. The intravascular catheter consists of a slender catheter tube and a catheter hub. The catheter introducer consists of a housing that contains a flash chamber, a flash plug, a stainless steel needle and a needle safety mechanism. The I.V. Catheter System is designed to reduce the risk of accidental needlesticks. # 8. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL TESTING: The I.V. Catheter System meets ISO 10993-1 requirements for material safety and biocompatibility. The introducer needle meets the requirements of ISO 10555-5. The I.V. catheter has previously received FDA clearance. ## 9. SUMMARY OF SIMULATED USE STUDY: There were 50 participants and a total of 500 I.V. Catheter Systems were successfully inserted and evaluated. No sharps injuries or failures of the protective feature occurred. The results of this study support the claim that the I.V. Catheter System can reduce the risk or accidental needlestick injuries. The positive responses from the 50 participants reqarding insertion and use characteristics indicate the the I.V. Catheter System is intuitive in nature, requires little or no change in usual technique, and meets customer requirements. ### 10.CONCLUSION: The material testing and simulated use data indicate that the I.V. Catheter System is safe and effective for it's intended use. {2}------------------------------------------------ # TABLE 1.
