The K-Pack Surshield™ Needle is a sterile hypodermic needle for single use with a passive sharps protection feature that covers the cannula immediately and permanently after use; and is intended for use in combination with hypodermic syringes for subcutaneous and intramuscular injection as well as for injection in infusion lines.
The 25G K-Pack Surshield™ Needle is a hypodermic single lumen needle, for single use consisting of a stainless steel tube that is sharpened at one end and at the other end joined to a female luer connector (hub) made of polypropylene designed to be connected with a male connector (nozzle) of a piston syringe. Furthermore the needle has a passive sharps protection feature that covers the cannula immediately and permanently after use. The K-Pack Surshield™ Needle is packed in a hard pack (cap - case) which is sealed with a perforated self-adhesive paper label.
The provided document describes the K-Pack Surshield™ Needle, a hypodermic needle with a passive sharps protection feature. It includes a summary of verification activities and acceptance criteria.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
The document outlines acceptance criteria but does not explicitly state the reported device performance for each criterion in numerical or qualitative terms in the provided text. It only states that "All necessary verification and validation tests have been performed by testing the K-Pack Surhield™ Needle 25G x 5/8" - 0.5 x 16 mm in accordance with EN ISO 7864 (1995) and ISO/FDIS 23908 (2010)." This implies that the device met all acceptance criteria, but the specific results are not detailed.
| TEST | ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA | Reported Device Performance (Implied) |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Cleanliness | Inspected by normal or corrected-to-normal vision without magnification under an illuminance of 300 lx, the surface of the hypodermic needle tube shall appear free from particles and extraneous matter. When examined under x2.5 magnification, the hub socket shall appear free from particles and extraneous matter. | Met acceptance criteria (tests performed). |
| 2. Limits for acidity or alkalinity | A pH for K-Pack Needles extract solution is within 1 unit of the control fluid. | Met acceptance criteria (tests performed). |
| 3. Limits for extractable metals | The extract solution of the K-Pack Surshield Needles has a content of extractable metals which is, when corrected for the metal content of the control fluid: Σ Pb, Sn, Zn, Fe ≤ 5 mg/l Cd |
§ 880.5570 Hypodermic single lumen needle.
(a)
Identification. A hypodermic single lumen needle is a device intended to inject fluids into, or withdraw fluids from, parts of the body below the surface of the skin. The device consists of a metal tube that is sharpened at one end and at the other end joined to a female connector (hub) designed to mate with a male connector (nozzle) of a piston syringe or an intravascular administration set.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
