Intended Use
The intended use is to provide a means to infuse or inject insulin subcutaneously when used with any infusion device that delivers continuous or intermittent flow.
Device Description
Sterling Medivations, Inc.'s ("SMI") Simplicity ™ Soft QD Silver Infusion Set is designed for use by people with diabetes to provide a means to infuse insulin subcutaneously when used with any infusion device that delivers continuous or intermittent flow. The device consists of four main parts: (1) an infusion catheter made from FEP, (2) an infusion hub that provides the patient the capability of disconnecting tube from the infusion catheter, (3) a connecting tube and (4) a threaded reservoir connector. The Simplicity Soft QD Silver Infusion administration set, is designed for use by people with diabetes to provide a means to infuse insulin subcutaneously when used with any infusion device that delivers continuous or intermittent flow and inserted in the subcutaneous tissue of a patient. The Sterling Medivations Simplicity Soft QD Silver Infusion Set may be used with any infusion device that delivers continuous or intermittent flow. The administration set attaches to the reservoir/syringe by means of a threaded reservoir connector, and subcutaneously in the patient through an indwelling catheter made of Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP). The connecting tubing is made from a polyethylene tube. The 25 gauge-indwelling catheter is introduced into the subcutaneous tissue by a removable 27 gauge insertion needle made of AISI 304 stainless steel. The insertion needle is removed and a connector needle is attached to the indwelling catheter. This connector needle pierces a septum formits the infusion of medication without leakage. The connector needle is connecting tubing and a connector housing. The connector tubing proximal end is attached to a female Luer connector for attachment to the medicine reservoir. The connecting tube is solvent bonded to the connector housing and to the Luer connector. The quick disconnect allows the patient to temporally disconnect the pump reservoir from the indwelling catheter to better facilitate bathing and reservoir changes.

No
The device description focuses on the physical components and materials of an insulin infusion set, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML. The performance studies listed are related to material and sterilization standards, not algorithmic performance.

Yes

The device is designed to provide a means to infuse insulin subcutaneously for people with diabetes, which directly relates to the treatment of a disease.

No.
The device is an infusion set designed to deliver insulin subcutaneously, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly details multiple physical components made of materials like FEP, polyethylene, and stainless steel, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "infuse or inject insulin subcutaneously". This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for delivering medication.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical device (catheter, tubing, connectors) designed for subcutaneous insertion and delivery of insulin. This is consistent with an in vivo delivery system.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) in vitro (outside the body).
    • Providing information about a patient's health status based on sample analysis.
    • Reagents, calibrators, or controls used for testing.

The device is clearly designed for the administration of a substance into the body, which is the function of an in vivo medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Description of the New Device: Sterling Medivations, Inc.'s ("SMI") Simplicity ™ Soft QD Silver Infusion Set is designed for use by people with diabetes to provide a means to infuse insulin subcutaneously when used with any infusion device that delivers continuous or intermittent flow.

The Simplicity ™ Soft QD Silver Infusion Set proposed for commercial distribution is similar in all significant respects to the existing the Simplicity Soft QD Easy Infusion Set, K010788 and it has the same intended use.

The device consists of four main parts: (1) an infusion catheter made from FEP, (2) an infusion hub that provides the patient the capability of disconnecting tube from the infusion catheter, (3) a connecting tube and (4) a threaded reservoir connector.

The Simplicity Soft QD Silver Infusion administration set, is designed for use by people with diabetes to provide a means to infuse insulin subcutaneously when used with any infusion device that delivers continuous or intermittent flow and inserted in the subcutaneous tissue of a patient. The Sterling Medivations Simplicity Soft QD Silver Infusion Set may be used with any infusion device that delivers continuous or intermittent flow.

The administration set attaches to the reservoir/syringe by means of a threaded reservoir connector, and subcutaneously in the patient through an indwelling catheter made of Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP). The connecting tubing is made from a polyethylene tube.

The 25 gauge-indwelling catheter is introduced into the subcutaneous tissue by a removable 27 gauge insertion needle made of AISI 304 stainless steel.

Intended Use of the New Device: The intended use of the Simplicity Soft QD Silver Infusion Set is to provide a means to infuse or inject insulin subcutaneously when used with any infusion device that delivers continuous or intermittent flow.

Comparisons of the Technological Features of the New Device and Predicate Device:

The Simplicity Soft QD Silver Infusion Set proposed for commercial distribution is similar in all significant respects to the existing Simplicity Soft OD Easy Infusion Set 510(k) K010788.

The materials and manufacturing processes are substantially equivalent, the labeling is substantially equivalent and it has the same intended use as the Simplicity Soft QD Easy Infusion Set FDA 510(k) K010788.

The differences that exist between the new and predicate device are as follows:

  1. The Simplicity Soft QD Silver Infusion Set has a threaded reservoir connector and the predicate device has a luer connector. The threaded reservoir connector is identical to the connector used on the Sterling Medivations Simplicity Silver Soft Infusion Set FDA K 010846.

Performance Data Supporting Substantial Equivalence: To provide substantial equivalence the Simplicity Soft QD Silver Infusion Set meets the catheter requirements of:

CDRH 21 C.F.R. section 880.54400 Intravascular administration set,

ISO 10555 Sterile, single use intravascular catheters (Part 1: General Requirements), and
