Intended Use

Automatically Retractable Safety Syringe (with fixed needle) (5cc/ml 22×1-1/4) is a sterile, single-use, disposable and non-reusable, retractable safety syringe which is intended to provide a safe and reliable method for intramuscular and subcutaneous injection of medication into a patient.

Device Description

The Automatically Retractable Safety Syringe (with fixed needle) 5cc/ml 22×11/4 is a piston syringe. The device is intended for medical purposes and consists of a calibrated hollow barrel and a movable plunger. At one end of the barrel there is a male connector (nozzle) for fitting the female connector (hub) of a hypodermic single lumen needle. The device is used to inject fluids into the body. Automatically Retractable Safety Syringe (with fixed needle) (5cc/ml 22×11/4") works like a conventional hypodermic syringe except for its ability to retract the contaminated needle inside of the syringe immediately after patient injection. Needle retraction is activated by the syringe user. The needle retracting mechanism is activated by a spring action mechanism after injection is completed, while the exposed needle remains safety inside the empty syringe barrel for disposal.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document describes a 510(k) premarket notification for an Automatically Retractable Safety Syringe. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a standalone study with acceptance criteria for device performance in the way typically seen for diagnostic algorithms.

Therefore, the requested information elements related to specific performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity), sample sizes for test/training sets, experts for ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, and ground truth types are not applicable to this document's content.

However, I can extract the acceptance criteria and a summary of how the device meets them based on the equivalence testing performed to satisfy the 510(k) submission.

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The acceptance criteria are implied by the comparison to the predicate device and relevant industry standards. The reported device performance is that it meets these criteria, demonstrating equivalence.

2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

This information is not provided in the document. The submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence through comparison of design, intended use, and similar safety and performance testing to the predicate device. Details about the specific sample sizes or data provenance for these tests are not included.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

This is not applicable as the document describes a medical device (syringe) rather than a diagnostic algorithm that requires expert-established ground truth. The "ground truth" here is compliance with established standards and performance metrics for the device itself, verified through engineering and biocompatibility testing.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

This is not applicable for the same reasons as #3.

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

This is not applicable as the device is a syringe, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

This is not applicable as the device is a syringe, not a standalone algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

The "ground truth" for this device's performance is established by international standards (e.g., ISO 7886-1:1993, ISO 10993-1) and the performance characteristics of the legally marketed predicate device (VanishPoint™ Syringe K970803). The device demonstrates "conformance" to these standards and "similarity" to the predicate.

8. The sample size for the training set

This is not applicable as the document describes a medical device, not a machine learning model requiring a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

This is not applicable for the same reasons as #8.

Proposed Indications 1.2.

The proposed indications for the predicate Anti-stick Vanishpoint and the submitted Automatically Retractable Syringe are the same. The design, intended use and construction are exactly the same.

Both the predicate and the submitted device are single-use, anti-stick piston type syringes. The function of the predicate and the submitted device is to provide a safe and reliable method of injecting medication into a patient. Both devices work like a simple piston syringe except for the syringe's ability to retract the contaminated needle inside of the syringe immediately after patient injection. Needle retraction is activated by the syringe user.

Image /page/3/Figure/1 description: The image shows a diagram of a syringe and a corresponding table that labels the different parts of the syringe. The diagram labels 18 different parts of the syringe with numbers ranging from 1 to 18. The table lists the name of each part, such as 'Leak-proof ring', 'Zero line', 'Capacity graduation', 'Needle', and 'Needle covers', corresponding to the numbers in the diagram.

The plunger rod, barrel, needle hub, needle protector and slider are made from polypropylene. The spring and cannula are made from Stainless steel. The piston is made from isoprene rubber and the piston O-ring is made from silicon dioxide. The components are glued together with acrylic glue. All of these components have been tested to verify biocompatibility.

The VanishPoint™ Syringe works like a conventional hypodermic syringe except for its ability to retract the contaminated needle inside of the syringe immediately after patient injection. Needle retraction is activated by the syringe user. Because the contaminated needle is automatically withdrawn into the syringe barrel, The syringe user is protected from accidental needle sticks. These accidental needle sticks would occur between removing the needle from the patient and disposing of the syringe in a sharps disposable container.
Principle of operationThe needle is automatically retracted from the patient into the barrel of the syringe when the plunger is fully depressed. Automatically Retractable Safety Syringe reduces the risk of healthcare worker exposure to hazardous drugs during reconstitution, preparation, transport, and disposal.The needle is automatically retracted from the patient into the barrel of the syringe when the plunger is fully depressed.

At one end of the barrel there is a male connector (nozzle) for fitting the female connector (hub) of a hypodermic single lumen needle. The device is used to inject fluids into, or withdraw fluids from, the body.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
