The intended use of the Simplicity QD Easy P Infusion Set is to provide a means for infusion and/or injection of fluids into the body below the surface of the skin when attached to a MiniMed Paradigm pump or syringe.
Device Description
Sterling Medivations Inc.'s ("SMI") Simplicity™ QD Easy P Infusion Set is designed to provide a means for infusion and/or injection of fluids into the body below the surface of the skin when attached to the MiniMed Paradigm infusion pump or syringe. The Simplicity QD Easy P Infusion Set is designed for use by people with diabetes to provide a means to infuse or inject medication subcutaneously when attached to the MiniMed Paradigm infusion pump or syringe. It is inserted into the subcutaneous tissue of a patient and the Simplicity YP connector is attached to the medication reservoir. The device consists of four main parts: (1) an infusion catheter made from PTFE, (2) an infusion hub that provides the patient the capability of disconnecting tube from the infusion catheter, (3) a connecting tube and (4) a Simplicity YP connector consisting of a needle hub and reusable pump adapter and reservoir connector. The Simplicity QD Easy P Infusion Set is an infusion administration set, connecting to the Paradigm reservoir by means of a Simplicity YP connector consisting of a needle hub and reusable pump adapter and reservoir connector and subcutaneously in the patient through an indwelling catheter made of Polytetrafluorthylene (PTFE). The Sterling Medivations Simplicity QD Easy P Infusion Set may be used with any paradigm infusion device that delivers continuous or intermittent flow. 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 formed from a lumen made of AISI 304 stainless steel. The insertion needle is removed and a connector needle is attached to the indwelling catheter. This connector needle mates with the indwelling catheter forming a seal that permits the infusion of medication without leakage. The connector needle is made from AISI 304 stainless steel and it is connected to the connecting tubing with a connector housing. The connector tubing proximal end is attached to a Simplicity YP connector consisting of a needle hub and reusable pump adapter and reservoir connector for connection to a MiniMed Paradigm pump and reservoir. The connecting tube is solvent bonded to the connector housing and to the needle hub connector.

K 020990, K011187

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical components, materials, and sterilization of a standard infusion set, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes.
The device facilitates the infusion and/or injection of fluids (medication) into the body to treat a medical condition (diabetes), which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No
The device is described as an infusion set designed to deliver fluids and medication (specifically for people with diabetes to infuse insulin) subcutaneously. Its purpose is for administration, not for identifying the nature or cause of a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components made of materials like PTFE and stainless steel, and the intended use involves the physical infusion of fluids into the body. This is a hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "provide a means for infusion and/or injection of fluids into the body below the surface of the skin". This describes a device used on or in the body for delivering substances, not a device used to test samples from the body in a laboratory setting.
  • Device Description: The description details components like catheters, tubing, connectors, and needles, all of which are consistent with a device for delivering fluids subcutaneously. There is no mention of reagents, assays, or analysis of biological samples.
  • Anatomical Site: The device is used "below the surface of the skin" and in "subcutaneous tissue". IVDs typically analyze samples like blood, urine, or tissue outside the body.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on meeting standards related to intravascular administration sets, catheters, sterilization, and biocompatibility – all relevant to devices used for infusion, not in vitro testing.

In summary, the Simplicity QD Easy P Infusion Set is a device for administering fluids into the body, which falls under the category of a medical device for therapeutic or diagnostic delivery, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Douglas:

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. 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.

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