The Animas ezSerter™ Infusion Set Inserter is intended to aid in the insertion of the Animas ezSet™ infusion sets. This device is intended for home use and is a prescription device.
The Animas ezSerter™ Infusion Set Inserter is a simple device for automatically inserting the cannula of the Animas ezSef™ angled infusion sets subcutaneously. The inserter is composed of several molded plastic pieces and stainless steel springs. An elongated molded plastic housing acts as a handle and a quide for an internally mounted spring-loaded carrier. An opening in the proximal end of the carrier accepts and retains the handle of the introducer needle hub.
This document, K021700, is a 510(k) summary for the Animas ezSerter™ Infusion Set Inserter. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a performance study with detailed acceptance criteria and expert-read ground truth.
Therefore, the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, study data, sample sizes, expert qualifications, and ground truth establishment is not available in this document.
The 510(k) summary describes:
- Device Name: Animas ezSerter™ Infusion Set Inserter
- Intended Use: To aid in the insertion of Animas ezSet™ infusion sets.
- Predicate Device: MiniMed Sil-Serter™ Infusion Set Insertion System
- Comparison of Technical Features: Both are spring-loaded devices where the user loads the infusion set, compresses a spring, and activates the device. The 510(k) states that "The differences between the new device and the predicate devices do not affect the safety or effectiveness of the device." This statement implies that the device's performance is considered to be on par with the predicate, but specific performance data or acceptance criteria are not detailed in this summary.
In summary, this document is a regulatory submission for substantial equivalence and does not contain the kind of detailed performance study results, acceptance criteria, or ground truth methodology typically found in clinical validation reports for AI/diagnostic devices.

| Name of Device: | Animas ezSerter TM Infusion Set Inserter | |

Description of the New Device: The Animas ezSerter™ Infusion Set Inserter is a simple device for automatically inserting the cannula of the Animas ezSef™ angled infusion sets subcutaneously. The inserter is composed of several molded plastic pieces and stainless steel springs. An elongated molded plastic housing acts as a handle and a quide for an internally mounted spring-loaded carrier. An opening in the proximal end of the carrier accepts and retains the handle of the introducer needle hub.
The inserter may be held in either hand. To operate the inserter, the user places a sterile infusor base into the carrier. The spring-loaded retainer locks the base in place, automatically aligning and retaining the insertion needle axis. The user then folds the front flap of the adhesive pad up under the retainer trigger to expose the introducer needle and cannula. The user draws back the carrier until it locks in the cocked position. At this stage, the sliding safety may be switched to the "locked" position to prevent the accidental release of the carrier while the inserter is positioned or the site is cleaned. The protective sleeve over the cannula is then removed.
A small fold is formed at the infusion site by pinching the skin between the thumb and finger of the free hand. After releasing the safety, the inserter is held at approximately a 30 degree angle to the surface of the skin. The proximal edge of the inserter is positioned at the edge of the skin fold with the needle is pointing towards the middle of the fold. When the release button is pressed, the carrier
{1}------------------------------------------------
springs forward, quickly and smoothly inserting the needle and cannula subcutaneously. The skin fold is released and the backing paper is removed from the front flap of the adhesive pad. The adhesive pad is then smoothed over the skin, covering the point of entry with the transparent window of the pad. The sides of the introducer needle hub are pinched together to release the introducer needle from the cannula housing; the inserter and attached needle are withdrawn. The inserter is set aside while the rear backing paper is removed and the pad is smoothed to the skin. The tubing set may then be attached to the cannula housing to allow the insulin to flow into the infusion site. The retainer button is pressed to release the introducer needle from the inserter for disposal.
Intended Use of the New Device: The Animas ezSerter™ Infusion Set Inserter is intended to aid in the insertion of Animas ezSet™ infusion sets.
This device is intended for home use and is a prescription device.
Comparision of the Technological Features of the New Device and the Predicate Device: The new device and the predicate devices are substantially similar in terms of technology. Both are spring loaded devices. The user must load the infusion set into the device, compress a spring and activate the device by pressing a trigger button.
The differences between the new device and the predicate devices do not affect the safety or effectiveness of the device.

Dear Mr. Mosenkis:
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
