Intended Use

As indicated in 21 CFR Part 880.5200, The Nexiva™ intravascular catheter is inserted into a patient's vascular system for a short-term use (less than 30 days) to sample blood, monitor blood pressure, or administer fluids intravascularly. The needle-shielding feature and luer access port, aid in the prevention of needle-stick injuries. Blood is contained within the device during the catheter insertion process aiding in the prevention of blood exposure. This catheter may be used for any patient population with consideration given to adequacy of vascular anatomy and appropriateness of procedure.

The 18-22 gauge Nexiva™ catheters are suitable for use with power injectors rated for a maximum of 300 psi when the luer access port(s) is removed and a direct connection is made.

Device Description

The BD Nexiva™ Closed IV Catheter System consists of an over-the needle, peripheral intravascular catheter made from Vialon™ polyurethane, integrated extension tubing with a Y adapter and clamp, BD Q-Syte™ luer access port, and a passive needleshielding mechanism.

The design of the Nexiva™ IV catheter can be described as a closed system since it protects clinicians from blood exposure during the catheter insertion procedure. Since the needle is withdrawn through a septum that seals after the needle has been removed and both ports of the Y adapter are closed, blood is contained within the NexivaTM device during catheter insertion. The pressure exerted on the needle as it passes through the septum wipes blood from the needle, further reducing potential blood exposure. The slide clamp on the integrated extension tubing is provided to eliminate blood exposure when the vent plug is replaced with an infusion set connection of a BD Q-Syte™ luer access port.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Sample Size: The document specifies a sample size of 2301 units for "Package Integrity (Water Leak)" and "Ship Testing (Drop/Vibration)" tests. For other tests, specific sample sizes are not explicitly stated, but the acceptance criteria are generally expressed in "DPPM" (Defective Parts Per Million) or "Cpk" (Process Capability Index), suggesting statistical process control and quality assurance testing.
  • Data Provenance: The tests are described as "Nonclinical Tests" and "design verification activities," conducted by Becton Dickinson Infusion Therapy Systems, Inc. The data is retrospective in the sense that it was generated during device development and verification to support the 510(k) submission. There is no information on the country of origin of the data, but it can be assumed to be related to the manufacturer's testing facilities, potentially in the US (headquarters in Sandy, UT).

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

This document primarily describes physical and mechanical performance testing of a medical device, not diagnostic or clinical performance involving expert interpretation of data (like radiology images). Therefore, the concept of "experts" establishing ground truth in this context doesn't directly apply as it would for a software device. The ground truth for these tests is based on established engineering standards (e.g., ANSI/AAMI/ISO 10993-1 2003 (E) for biocompatibility, and presumably other relevant engineering and ISO standards for mechanical performance), internal product specifications, and quality control methodologies.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. As described above, these are physical and mechanical tests with quantitative acceptance criteria (e.g., DPPM, Cpk, force measurements). There is no "adjudication" in the sense of reconciling differing expert opinions or classifications. The results are objective measurements compared against predefined thresholds.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

No. This document does not describe an MRMC comparative effectiveness study. The submission relates to a physical medical device (intravascular catheter) and its modifications, not an AI or software device that would typically involve human readers interpreting cases.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

No. This concept is not applicable as the submission is for a physical medical device, not an algorithm or AI. The tests are focused on the device's physical and mechanical properties.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth used for these tests is based on:

  • Engineering Standards: Adherence to established industry and international standards (e.g., ANSI/AAMI/ISO 10993-1 2003 (E), ISO Liquid Leakage, etc.).
  • Product Specifications: Internal design requirements and performance targets defined by the manufacturer.
  • Predicate Device Performance: The modified device is benchmarked against its predicate device (K032843) to demonstrate "substantial equivalence."

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. This is not a machine learning or AI device that requires a training set. The "training" for such physical devices involves design, prototyping, and iterative testing processes, not data-driven algorithmic training.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

Not applicable, as there is no "training set" in the context of this device.

Conclusions from Nonclinical Tests:

The BD Nexiva™ Closed IV Catheter System modifications presented in this submission are substantially equivalent to the currently marketed predicate device (K032843). The intended use and technological characteristics of the BD Nexiva™ Closed IV Catheter System product modifications described in this submission have not been altered, and therefore have remained the same since receiving their original 510(k) approval from the FDA.

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 premarket approval or reclassification. 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

{6}------------------------------------------------

construed as an admission against interest under the US Patent Laws or their application by the courts.

Dear Ms. Alder:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

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