Intended Use

The TriboGlide™ Lubricated Silicone-Free Syringe when combined with an appropriate gauge needle is used to inject fluids into, or withdraw fluids from, the body.

Device Description

The TriboGlide™ Silicone-Free Syringes are sterile and disposable (single use) standard polypropylene piston syringes without permanently attached needles. They consist of a polypropylene syringe barrel and plunger. Various syringe sizes include 0.5ml, 1ml, 3ml, 6ml, 10ml, 12ml, 60ml and 140ml. The lubricant used in the TriboGlide syringe is a fluorocarbon based non-silicone lubricant. The TriboGlide™ Silicone-Free Syringes, when combined with an appropriate gauge needle, are used to inject fluids into, and withdraw fluids from, the body.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) summary for TriboGlide™ Silicone-Free Syringes and outlines the testing conducted to demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices. However, the document does NOT contain information pertaining to a study involving AI, or any advanced computational device that would typically have an acceptance criteria table, sample sizes for test/training sets, expert involvement for ground truth, or MRMC studies.

The provided acceptance criteria and study information pertain to the performance of the syringe itself (biocompatibility, sterilization, luer taper compliance, etc.), not the performance of an AI or computational device in a medical imaging or diagnostic context.

Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request for:

• A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance (in the context of an AI device)
• Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance
• Number of experts used to establish the ground truth
• Adjudication method
• If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done
• If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
• The type of ground truth used
• The sample size for the training set
• How the ground truth for the training set was established

The document describes a traditional medical device (a syringe) and its validation through compliance with established standards and physical/biological testing, not a study of an AI algorithm's performance.

• 9. Device Description and Intended Use:
     The TriboGlide™ Silicone-Free Syringes are sterile and disposable (single use) standard polypropylene piston syringes without permanently attached needles. They consist of a polypropylene syringe barrel and plunger. Various syringe sizes include 0.5ml, 1ml, 3ml, 6ml, 10ml, 12ml, 60ml and 140ml. The lubricant used in the TriboGlide syringe is a fluorocarbon based non-silicone lubricant. The TriboGlide™ Silicone-Free Syringes, when combined with an appropriate gauge needle, are used to inject fluids into, and withdraw fluids from, the body.
• 10. Brief Description of Testing:
      The biocompatibility testing of the lubricated syringe was established based on tests in a FDA consensus standard. The sterilization cycle was validated using a FDA consensus standard to achieve a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10-6.
• 11. Declaration of Conformation to Applicable Standards:
      The TriboGlide syringe complies with

• Specific sections of ISO 7886-1, "Guidance for Sterile Hypodermic Syringe a. for SingleUse, Part 1: Syringe for Manual Use.

• 12. Substantial Equivalence Comparison:

The TriboGlide syringe without needle is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. Kendall Monoject® syringe as follows,

• Both the TriboGlide™ syringe and the Monoject® Intended Uses: 1. svringe are Single-Use manual svringes intended for medical use to inject fluids into and withdraw fluids from the body.
• ii. Labeling: Both of their labeling include the identity of the device, quantity and the required warnings and prescription statement according to 21 CFR 880.5860.
• The design of both syringes is identical. iii. Design and Materials: Both devices are comprised of a barrel and plunger with the exception of the type of lubricant. Both syringes are sterile and pyrogen free.
• 13. Conclusions Drawn: TriboGlide™ Silicone Syringes are substantially equivalent to legally marketed piston syringes for the same intended use. Any difference in technological characteristics did not raise a new issue of safety or effectiveness. Where a technological characteristic difference occurred, appropriate testing was conducted to demonstrate that the TriboGlide™ Silicone-Free Syringes were at least as safe and effective as legally marketed piston syringes for the same intended use.

Dear Mr. Sakhrani:

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.
