This device is an insulin syringe designed for administering medication, not for providing therapy or treatment itself.
No
The device is described as a syringe used to administer insulin subcutaneously. Its features focus on drug delivery, sharps injury prevention, and reuse prevention, not on diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical syringe with a barrel, plunger, and needle, incorporating mechanical features for safety and reuse prevention. It is a hardware device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "administer (infuse) insulin subcutaneously." This is a direct administration of a substance into the body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose a condition.
- Device Description: The description details a syringe designed for injecting insulin, with features for safety and reuse prevention. It does not describe any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Testing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Detecting or measuring analytes
- Providing diagnostic information
- Reagents or test strips
The device is clearly intended for therapeutic administration, not diagnostic testing.

Device Description
The 1mL Unitract® Insulin Syringe is a sterile, fixed needle, single use, insulin (U-100) syringe, consisting of a barrel and plunger assembly. The syringe is supplied in two needle sizes, being 27G x ½" and 29G x ½".
The devices function in a manner similar to standard syringes for filling and mixing insulin and subcutaneous injection, but also incorporates a sharps injury prevention (automatic needle retraction) and reuse prevention (auto disable) feature.
The sharps injury prevention feature allows for automatic and full retraction of the needle into the syringe barrel immediately after the full dose has been expelled; where the rate of retraction may be controlled by the user. The reuse prevention feature also engages immediately after retraction, which prevents further movement of the plunger in either direction.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Mechanical performance tests were conducted to verify the device meets design specifications based on the requirements of the FDA Consensus Standard ISO 8537:1991 Sterile single-use syringes, with or without needle, for insulin and the voluntary standard AS 1077:1992, Single-use syringes (sterile) for the injection of 100 units per millilitre insulin (U-100).
Additional performance testing was conducted on the safety features relating to peak activation forces of the retraction mechanism, spring reaction forces and forces to override the auto disable feature.
Chemical testing included Reducing (Oxidisable) Matter, Extractable Trace Metals, Non-Volatile Residue, pH and chemical residues (EO Sterilisation).
Biocompatibility testing of the finished devices included Cytotoxicity and Pyrogens; with all materials in the fluid path meeting USP Class VI requirements.
Sterilisation processes are validated to European Standard DIN EN 550:1994, Sterilisation of medical devices - Validation and routine control of ethylene oxide sterilisation to a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 108.
Manufacturing process control requires functional, chemical and biological tests be performed on each production lot number.

| Device Description: | The 1mL Unitract® Insulin Syringe is a sterile, fixed needle, single use, insulin (U-100) syringe, consisting of a barrel and plunger assembly. The syringe is supplied in two needle sizes, being 27G x ½" and 29G x ½".

| Substantial
| Equivalence: | The 1mL Unitract® Insulin Syringe has identical indications for use and similar features to the cited predicate # K050134 which is to infuse insulin subcutaneously; whilst incorporating a sharps injury prevention feature. In addition, the spring based mechanism of the cited predicate # K023752; and how this mechanism is integrated within the design of the 1mL Unitract® Insulin Syringe do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness. |
|---|---|
| Technological | |
| Characteristics: | The 1mL Unitract® Insulin Syringe has similar needle retraction mechanisms to the cited predicate # K050134. The syringe is filled; and at the end of the injection stroke once the full dose has been expelled, the plunger engages the needle to allow retraction into the syringe barrel. The cited predicate device relies on manual retraction and plunger fracture, where the 1mL Unitract® Insulin Syringe uses a spring based mechanism to retract the needle. The auto disable feature of the 1mL Unitract® Insulin Syringe is integrated within the plunger design, where after full retraction, the plunger engages with the collar outer to prevent movement of the plunger in either direction. This feature requires no secondary action by the user to disable the syringe. The characteristics of the 1mL Unitract® Insulin Syringe spring based mechanism are similar to the technology of the cited predicate # K023752. The spring mechanism of this predicate device is located at the distal end of the syringe which facilitates the retraction of the needle into the plunger. The 1mL Unitract® Insulin Syringe spring mechanism is located on the proximal end of the syringe to allow retraction into the barrel. The design of the 1mL Unitract® Insulin Syringe integrates the technological design characteristics of the cited predicates, and having similar operating procedures for filling and mixing insulin, aspiration and injection, has been demonstrated to have no significant differences. |
| The syringe components are manufactured from USP Class VI materials and stainless steel. | |
| Non Clinical | |
| Performance Data: | Mechanical performance tests were conducted to verify the device meets design specifications based on the requirements of the FDA Consensus Standard ISO 8537:1991 Sterile single-use syringes, with or without needle, for insulin and the voluntary standard AS 1077:1992, Single-use syringes (sterile) for the injection of 100 units per millilitre insulin (U- 100). Additional performance testing was conducted on the safety features relating to peak activation forces of the retraction mechanism, spring reaction forces and forces to override the auto disable feature. Chemical testing included Reducing (Oxidisable) Matter, Extractable Trace Metals, Non-Volatile Residue, pH and chemical residues (EO Sterilisation). Biocompatibility testing of the finished devices included Cytotoxicity and Pyrogens; with all materials in the fluid path meeting USP Class VI requirements. |

Dear Ms. Gow:
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.
