Intended Use
The UltiCare Safety Insulin Syringe is intended to inject U-100 insulin into the body. The safety mechanism aids in the prevention of needle stick injuries.
Device Description
The UltiCare Safety Insulin Syringe is a standard piston type syringe with permanently attached (uni-body) needle and protective shield. These syringes are sterile, single-use, disposable piston syringes consisting of a syringe barrel calibrated in units of insulin (U-100), plunger rod with gasket, permanently attached single lumen needle, needle cap, and protective shield. The UltiCare Safety Insulin Syringes are non-toxic and non-pyrogenic, and will be available in numerous sizes and combinations between the smallest (0.3 ml x 31G x 5/16 ") and the largest (1 ml x 29G x 1/2 ").
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical aspects of a safety syringe and do not mention any AI or ML components.

Yes
The device is intended to inject insulin into the body, which is a therapeutic action for managing blood sugar levels in individuals with diabetes.

No

Explanation: The device is an insulin syringe, intended for injecting insulin, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical syringe with a needle and safety mechanism, which are hardware components. There is no mention of any software functionality.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "inject U-100 insulin into the body." This is a direct administration of a substance into a living organism, not a test performed in vitro (outside the body) on a sample from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a standard syringe for injection, not a device designed to analyze biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or any other biological sample. The device's function is purely for delivering medication.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This syringe does not perform any such analysis.

Technological Characteristics:

The UltiCare Safety Insulin Syringe is substantially equivalent in device description, function, principle of operation, and basic composition to the predicate devices. The subject device and the predicate devices consist of a syringe barrel, plunger rod with gasket, permanently attached single lumen needle, needle cap, and protective shield.

The protective shield is identical to the currently marketed UltiCare Safety Syringe (K080600). It is made of clear plastic and is furnished in a retracted position with the needle cap over the needle. When the needle cap is removed, insulin can be drawn and injected in the conventional manner. After the injection, the protective shield is engaged by sliding it away from the finger grip to an extended position over the needle and then applying a turning or rotating motion to lock the shield in place.

The UltiCare Safety Insulin Syringes will be available in a range of needle gauges and lengths encompassed by the predicate devices.

The UltiCare Safety Insulin Syringes have been designed and tested to meet the requirements of voluntary standards and FDA guidance documents applicable to the subject and predicate devices. Results of the non-clinical testing support the conclusion of substantial equivalence to the UltiCare Safety Insulin Syringes to the predicate devices.

Performance Testing:

The UltiCare Safety Insulin Syringes have been designed and successfully tested to meet the applicable requirements outlined in ISO 7864, ISO 8537, and ISO 9626.

Biocompatibility Testing:

The new UltiCare Safety Insulin Syringe devices use the exact same materials, dyes/inks, manufacturing process, adhesives, and sterilization process/cycle as the previously cleared UltiCare Safety Syringes (K080600), with the exception of the orange colorant of the needle cap, and therefore additional biocompatibility testing to ISO 10993 standards is not required.

Sterilization and Shelf-life Testing:

Sterilization of the UltiCare Safety Insulin Syringes is validated using the Half Cycle method as outlined in ISO 11135. The maximum levels of residues of ethylene oxide and ethylene chlorohydrin will not exceed the limits presented in ISO 10993-7.

Clinical Data:

No prospective clinical trials were conducted in support of this Traditional 510(k).

Testing:

Substantial Equivalence:

The vast similarities of the UltiCare Safety Insulin Syringes to the predicate devices support the substantial equivalence in intended use, function and basic composition. The non-clinical testing to voluntary standards and applicable FDA guidances provide additional evidence the UltiCare Insulin Syringes are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in terms of safety, efficacy, and performance.

The minor differences between the UltiCare Safety Insulin Syringes and the predicate devices do not raise new issues of safety or effectiveness.

Dear Ms. Henderson:

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.
