Intended Use
Becton Dickinson insulin syringes are intended for subcutaneous injection of insulins.
Device Description
The BD Insulin Syringes - Ultra-Fine™ and Ultra-Fine™ II are designed for the subcutaneous injection of a desired dose of insulin. The syringe has a graduated barrel, a plunger rod and needle/hub assembly. The needle shield is colored orange. The Ultra-Fine™ Insulin Syringe has a 30g x 1/2" (12.7mm) needle and is available in 1cc (100 units), 1/2 cc (50 units), and 1/3 cc (30 units) sizes. The Ultra-Fine™ II 31g x 1/2" (8mm) needle and is available in 1cc (100 units), ½ cc (50 units), and 1/3 cc (30 units) sizes. These devices operate on the principles of a piston syringe. The syringe fluid path is sterile (gamma irradiation sterilization), non-toxic, non-pyrogenic and single use, disposable.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical aspects of a syringe and do not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

No.
Insulin syringes are delivery devices for medication, not therapeutic devices themselves. They do not treat or cure a condition; they merely facilitate the administration of a therapeutic substance (insulin).

No

Explanation: The device is an insulin syringe intended for subcutaneous injection of insulins, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (syringe barrel, plunger rod, needle/hub assembly) and mentions bench tests related to the performance of these physical components. It operates on the principle of a piston syringe, which is a mechanical function, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "subcutaneous injection of insulins." This describes a device used to administer a substance into the body, not to perform tests on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a syringe designed for injecting fluids. It doesn't mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, etc.).
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of testing, analysis, diagnosis, or any other activities typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is clearly for administering a substance directly into the body.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Bench tests relating to the performance of the needle length were conducted. The tests performed included needle pull-out force, hub pull-off forces, needle angularity, needle break-off testing and dose accuracy. The results demonstrate that the BD Insulin Syringes performs equivalent to the predicate devices and is safe and effective when used as intended.

§ 880.5860 Piston syringe.

(a)
Identification. A piston syringe is a device intended for medical purposes that consists of a calibrated hollow barrel and a movable plunger. At one end of the barrel there is a male connector (nozzle) for fitting the female connector (hub) of a hypodermic single lumen needle. The device is used to inject fluids into, or withdraw fluids from, the body.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

510K Summary of Safety and Effectiveness (Continued)

5. Intended Use:

BD Insulin Syringes are intended for the subcutaneous injection of insulins

Technological Characteristics: 6.

The BD Ultra-Fine™ and Ultra-Fine™ II insulin syringes and the predicate devices have the identical technological characteristics and perform as piston syringes.

The only difference between the principal devices and the predicate device is the needle gauge.

7. Performance:

Bench tests relating to the performance of the needle length were conducted. The tests performed included needle pull-out force, hub pull-off forces, needle angularity, needle break-off testing and dose accuracy. The results demonstrate that the BD Insulin Syringes performs equivalent to the predicate devices and is safe and effective when used as intended.

The term "substantial equivalence" as used in this 510(k) notification is limited to the definition of substantial equivalence found in the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended and as applied under 21 CFR 807, Subpart E, under which a device can be marketed without pre-approval or classification. A determination of substantial equivalency under this notification is not intended to have any bearing whatsoever on the resolution of patent infringement suits or any other patent matters. No statements related to, or in support of substantial equivalence herein shall be construed as an admission against interest under the US patent Laws or their application by the courts.

Dear Mr. Schalago:

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. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
