Intended Use
The Pencan spinal needles with or without introducer are intended for the injection of local anesthetics into the subarachnoid space to provide spinal anesthesia for pain management or to facilitate CSF sample collection for diagnostic purposes (lumbar puncture). The needles are intended for use in any target population with consideration given to the anatomy of the patient. The Spinocan spinal needles with or without introducer are intended for the injection of local anesthetics into the subarachnoid space to provide spinal anesthesia for pain management or to facilitate CSF sample collection for diagnostic purposes (lumbar puncture). The needles are intended for use in any target population with consideration given to the anatomy of the patient.
Device Description
The B. Braun Pencan Spinal Needle consists of a polycarbonate hub bonded to a stainless steel cannula with pencil-point tip. The hub of the Pencan spinal needle incorporates a viewing window for visualization of cerebrospinal fluid. The needles are provided with a stylet with color-coded hub that corresponds to the needle gauge. The needles will be offered in gauges ranging from 22 Ga. to 27 Ga. Needles that are 24 Ga .- 27 Ga. may be used with an individually packaged 20 Ga. or 22 Ga. introducer needle. The B. Braun Spinocan Spinal Needle consists of the same polycarbonate hub as the Pencan needles. The hub is bonded to a stainless steel cannula with Quincke bevel. The needles are provided with a stylet with color-coded hub that corresponds to the needle gauge. The needles will be offered in gauges ranging from 18 Ga. to 27 Ga. Needles that are 25 Ga. - 27 Ga. may be used with an individually packaged 20 Ga. or 22 Ga. introducer needle.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use clearly describe a physical medical device (spinal needles) and do not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

No

The device is intended for the injection of local anesthetics for pain management or to facilitate CSF sample collection for diagnostic purposes, which are medical procedures but do not inherently qualify it as a therapeutic device. It is a tool for drug delivery and sample collection.

No
The device is a needle used to collect CSF, which can then be used for diagnostic purposes, but the needle itself does not perform the diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly details physical components made of polycarbonate and stainless steel, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

Based on the provided text, these devices are not IVDs (In Vitro Diagnostics).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: IVDs are devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This testing is done in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Intended Use: The intended use of the Pencan and Spinocan spinal needles is for:
    • Injection of local anesthetics: This is a therapeutic procedure performed in vivo (inside the body).
    • Facilitate CSF sample collection: While the collected CSF could be used for diagnostic purposes, the needle itself is the tool for collection, not the diagnostic test performed on the sample. The diagnostic testing of the CSF would be a separate IVD process.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical characteristics of the needles (hub, cannula, tip, stylet, gauge), which are consistent with a medical device used for procedures on the body.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies mentioned are based on standards related to the physical properties and functionality of needles for medical procedures, not on the analytical or clinical performance of an IVD test.

In summary, these spinal needles are medical devices used for procedures performed on the patient's body (injection and sample collection), not for performing diagnostic tests on samples in vitro.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The following performance standards have been utilized in the evaluation of the proposed Pencan and Spinocan spinal needles and spinal introducer needles:

ISO 9626:1991/Amd. 1:2001(E) "Stainless steel needle tubing for the manufacture of medical devices."

ISO 7864:1993(E) "Sterile hypodermic needles for single use."

ISO 594-1:1986, "Conical Fittings with a 6 % Luer taper for syringes, needles and certain other medical equipment - Part1: General Requirements."

ISO 594-2:1998 "Conical fittings with 6% (Luer) taper for syringes, needles and certain other medical equipment- Part 2: Lock fittings. "

Results of performance testing indicate that the needles meet applicable sections of the standards referenced and are safe and effective for their intended use.

Biocompatibiltiy testing based on the nature and duration of patient contact outlined in ISO 10993-1:2009 "Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part I: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process" demonstrates that the materials used in the construction of the proposed needles are safe for their intended use.

needle gauge. The needles will be offered in gauges ranging from 18 Ga. to 27 Ga. Needles that are 25 Ga. - 27 Ga. may be used with an individually packaged 20 Ga. or 22 Ga. introducer needle.

INTENDED USE:

The Pencan spinal needles with or without introducer are intended for the injection of local anesthetics into the subarachnoid space to provide spinal anesthesia for pain management or to facilitate CSF sample collection for diagnostic purposes (lumbar puncture). The needles are intended for use in any target population with consideration given to the anatomy of the patient.

The Spinocan spinal needles with or without introducer are intended for the injection of local anesthetics into the subarachnoid space to provide spinal anesthesia for pain management or to facilitate CSF sample collection for diagnostic purposes (lumbar puncture). The needles are intended for use in any target population with consideration given to the anatomy of the patient.

SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE:

The proposed B. Braun Pencan spinal needles and spinal introducer needles are similar to the Pencan spinal needles and introducer needle included in cleared premarket notification # K932569. Both the proposed Pencan spinal needles and predicate needles incorporate the same needle cannula and pencil point tip design. The primary differences between the proposed Pencan spinal needles and spinal introducer needles when compared to the predicate devices are the geometric shape of the needle hubs, nonsolution contacting materials and additional needle gauges and lengths.

Similarly, the proposed Spinocan spinal needles are similar to the Spinocan spinal needles cleared under premarket notification # K820047. Both the proposed Spinocan needles and predicate device have the same intended use, and incorporate the same needle cannula, and Quincke tip design. The primary differences between the proposed Spinocan needles and the predicate Spinocan needles is the needle hub geometry, non-solution contacting materials and additional needle gauges and lengths.

The proposed Pencan and Spinocan spinal needles are also similar in intended use and needle dimensions to the BallPen Spinostar Spinal needles marketed by Teleflex Medical under premarket יירי
