Intended Use

The i-port Advance™ injection port is indicated for patients who administer, or to whom is administered, multiple daily subcutaneous injections of physician prescribed medications, including insulin. The device may remain in place for up to 72 hours to accommodate multiple drug injections without the discomfort of additional needle sticks. The i-port Advance™ may be used on a wide range of patients, including adults and children. Model numbers for the device include 020110, 020210, 020102 and 020202.

Device Description

The i-port Advance™ injection port was designed and developed through a technological collaboration between Unomedical A/S and Patton Medical Devices and modifies the Patton Medical Device i-port@ injection port (K052389) to include the automated insertion component ("Inserter") of the Unomedical Inset™ Infusion Sct (K032854).

The Injection Port component is a prescription only, sterile, single use, non-pyrogenic, external, disposable injection port with an indwelling catheter through which physician-prescribed medications can be injected subcutaneously from a standard syringe and needle, pen or alternative manual injection device. The indwelling catheter is installed using the integrated Inserter, a manually-operated springloaded catheter insertion tool that introduces the indwelling catheter into the subcutaneous tissue by automatically inserting the prefixed introducer needle to a predetermined depth below the skin surface.

Once applied, the insertion needle is removed, and only the soft cannula remains under the skin, acting as a gateway to the subcutaneous tissue. The user injects medicines directly through the resealable septum at the top of the device. The needle of the syringe or insulin pen remains above the surface of the skin, while the medication is delivered through the soft cannula and into the subcutaneous tissue. The device, which may be worn for up to 72 hours and receive up to 75 injections, is designed to reduce the hardships of multiple daily subcutaneous injections.

A Risk Management Plan and a Risk Management File were established for the i-port Advance™ project. The Risk Management Plan is modeled after ISO 14971:2007, Medical devices - Application of risk management to medical devices. Risks were identified and through the use of Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) risks were evaluated, and where possible, were mitigated. It was determined that the overall risks of the device are within the As Low as Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) and Broadly Acceptable regions for this type of device.

The materials used to fabricate the i-port Advance™ are biocompatible and safe for their intended use. The patient and drug contact materials on the i-port Advance™ are the same as those on the currently marketed predicate devices and meet the requirements of AAMVANSI/ISO 10993-1:2009. Biological evaluation of medical devices -- Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process for permanent body contact, external communicating device with indirect blood contact. The drug contact materials are the same as those used in the currently marketed predicate devices. The device contains no PVC and as such no DEHP plasticizers.

The i-port Advance™ is sterilized with Ethylene Oxide (EtO), and sterility is assured by using a validated sterilization method qualified in accordance with AAMI/ANSI/ISO 11135-1:2007, Sterilization of health care products - Ethylene oxide - Part 1: Requirements for the development, validation, and routine control of a sterilization process for medical devices to a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 10°. Ethylene oxide residual levels resulting from EtO sterilization will comply with AAMI/ANSV/ISO 10993-7:2008, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices - Part 7: Ethylene Oxide Sterilization Residuals. The fluid path will be Pyrogen free as tested by limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL), and the packaging will be tested to applicable standards to ensure integrity and durability.

5.8 Statement of Substantial Equivalence

By definition, a new device is substantially equivalent to a predicate device when the new device has the same intended use and the same technological characteristics as the predicate device, or has the same intended use and different technological characteristics, and it can be demonstrated that the new device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, and that the new device does not raise any new questions regarding its safety and effectiveness when compared to the predicate device.

The i-port Advance™ has the same intended use as the Patton Medical Devices i-port® injection port, (K052389). The i-port Advance™ has the same technological characteristics as the predicate devices in terms of functional design, components and materials, principals of operation, sterilization method and performance characteristics. On this basis, Unomedical A/S concludes that the i-port Advance™ injection port is substantially equivalent to the Patton Medical Devices i-port® injection port, (K052389) and the Unomedical A/S Inset™ Infusion Set (K032854) and does not raise any new questions regarding safety or effectiveness.
