RMS HigH-Flo™ Subcutaneous Safety Needle Sets are intended for the delivery of medication to the subcutaneous tissue.
The RMS HIgH-Flo™ Subcutaneous Safety Needle Sets are a Class II Intravascular Administration Set per 21 CFR 880.5440 and intended for the delivery of medication to the subcutaneous tissue. Each set consists of a sterile packaged kit including the infusion set and a commercially available adhesive dressing used to hold the device in place. The infusion set has a 90-degree stainless steel grade needle mounted to a butterfly assembly on one end, and a luer lock on the other end, connected by medical grade tubing. The needles are available in 24 and 26 gauges and in lengths of 4mm, 6mm, 12mm and 14mm. The 4mm and 14mm lengths are added for children and obese adult patients, respectively. The optional convenience 24" Extension Set is used to add length to a needle set when desired.
There is a snap closure to safely capture the needle after use. This minimizes the potential for a needlestick injury. Each leg in a set is equipped with a slide clamp to stop flow immediately, if needed. The RMS HIgH-Flo™ Subcutaneous Safety Needle Sets are available for up to 8 infusion sites using our basic sets of one, two, three or four legs ganged together using a low residual "Y-Connector" (for example to achieve a 7 site infusion, a RMS 4 set will be ganged with a RMS 3 set using a Y-Connector). All needle sets, regardless of combination, are for single use only.
The provided text describes the RMS HIgH-Flo™ Subcutaneous Safety Needle Sets and the studies performed to demonstrate its substantial equivalence to predicate devices, particularly focusing on performance, biocompatibility, and safety.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and the Data Provenance
The document does not explicitly state the numerical sample size for individual tests within the "Clinical Simulated Use Study" or the flow rate studies. It mentions "medical professionals participated" in the clinical study and "comparative tests" and "flow tested" for the performance studies without giving specific numbers of devices or test runs.
- Provenance: This is a 510(k) summary submitted to the FDA (United States). The studies appear to be internal RMS Medical Products studies ("RMS internal procedure (SOP 8001)") or performed in accordance with international (ISO) and national (USP) standards, indicating the data is likely from studies conducted by or for the manufacturer. The document doesn't specify countries of origin for the test data beyond the manufacturer's location in New York, USA.
- Retrospective/Prospective:
- Biocompatibility and Sterilization/Shelf Life: These are typically prospective laboratory/animal studies.
- Clinical Simulated Use Study: This was a prospective study ("medical professionals participated in an RMS Clinical Simulated Use Study, per FDA guidance documents with FDA review of the proposed protocol").
- Performance Testing (flow rate, residual volume, material/device characteristics): These were prospective laboratory tests.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and the Qualifications of Those Experts
The document mentions "medical professionals participated" in the RMS Clinical Simulated Use Study. However, it does not specify the number or qualifications of these medical professionals, nor does it explicitly define their role in establishing a "ground truth" in the way one might for diagnostic accuracy studies. Their role was to evaluate the device during simulated use, and their subjective and statistical data contributed to the safety determination.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
The document does not describe an adjudication method for establishing ground truth from multiple experts. For the "Clinical Simulated Use Study," it states, "An analysis of all subjective and statistical data concludes that the RMS HIgH-Flo™ Subcutaneous Safety Needle Sets met the criteria set." This implies an analysis of the collected data rather than a consensus or adjudication process among multiple reviewers to determine a 'truth' independently.
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
- No MRMC Comparative Effectiveness Study: This device is a medical device (subcutaneous needle set), not an AI/diagnostic software. Therefore, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving human readers and AI assistance is not applicable and was not performed. The studies focus on the physical performance, biocompatibility, and safety of the needle set itself.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
- Not applicable: As this is a physical medical device and not an AI algorithm, a standalone performance study in the context of AI is not relevant. The device's performance is standalone in the sense that its physical properties (flow rate, material, etc.) are tested without human intervention impacting the measurement of those properties, but it is ultimately used by a human.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The concept of "ground truth" in the context of this device's evaluation is primarily based on:
- Established Scientific Standards: For biocompatibility (ISO standards), pyrogenicity (USP limits), and sterilization (ISO 11137).
- Pre-defined Acceptance Criteria: For the Clinical Simulated Use Study, criteria were "set" and the device "met the criteria."
- Direct Measurement and Comparison: For flow rates, residual volumes, material characteristics, device dimensions, and mechanical properties, the "ground truth" is the measured physical data, which is then compared against predicate devices and internal performance expectations.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
- Not applicable: This device is a physical medical device, not an AI algorithm. Therefore, there is no "training set" in the context of machine learning.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
- Not applicable: As there is no training set for an AI algorithm, this question is not relevant.

Summary of Data:
As stated in the cover letter and pertaining to the seven modifications to an already legally marketed RMS device (K102512), the additional test data that is included in this new submission to support new claims is summarized below:
Biocompatibility:
To remove the 24 hour (short-term) use limitation of the previous RMS subcutaneous needle set submission K102512, studies were performed in accordance with internationally recognized standards including: (1) ISO Systemic Toxicity Study-Extract (Sodium Chloride), (2) ISO Systemic Toxicity Study-Extract (Sesame Oil), and (3) ISO Subcutaneous Implantation Study in Rabbits-6 weeks. Results meet acceptable ISO criteria.
To include the term "non-pyrogenic" two studies were performed in accordance with internationally recognized standards: (1) Pyrogen Study - Material Mediated; (2) Limulus Amebocyte Lysate. Results of both studies were within acceptable USP limits, USP<151> and USP<85>, respectively.
We are including the studies submitted for the predicate RMS Subcutaneous Needle Set (K102512) that include cytotoxicity; irritation; sensitization, and hemocompatibility.
All studies, new and predicate, show the RMS HIgH-Flo™ Subcutaneous Safety Needle Sets are considered equal to, or better than, predicate devices.
Clinical Evaluation:
To claim "Safety" for the Needle Sets, medical professionals participated in an RMS Clinical . Simulated Use Study, per FDA guidance documents with FDA review of the proposed protocol. An analysis of all subjective and statistical data concludes that the RMS HIgH-Flo™ Subcutaneous Safety Needle Sets met the criteria set and thus may be classified as safety sets. Furthermore, all critical and essential tasks (as specified in the protocol) and difficulties with use of the product during the study were evaluated as part of this safety determination. No adverse effects or complications were reported during the study. Consequently, the device is known as "Safety" Needle Sets and has a safety design equal to, or better than, predicate devices.

Below the letters, the words "MEDICAL PRODUCTS" are printed in a smaller, simpler font. The logo is black and white.
To determine the effects of the two additional insertion needles, a comparison test was completed using 26 gauge sets of all configurations up to 8-needles. The data was compared with a single 26 gauge needle set for total fluid flow output. Results of this comparison test show that the measured and compared data demonstrates that there is no degradation of flow when the 7th and 8th needles are added.
An additional test demonstrated no negative effect upon leg-to-leg consistency from adding the 7th and 8th needles.
To support the addition of a 24 gauge needle set, 24 gauge needle sets were flow tested, up to and including 8-needle set configurations, and compared with flow data from predicate devices which were measured up to six needle sites. Results indicate that the RMS HIgH-Flo™ Subcutaneous Safety Needle Sets have equal or better flow performance than both the Evans and MarCal predicate devices. In comparison, the 26 gauge RMS HIgH-Flo™ Subcutaneous Safety Needle Sets flow better than the 27 gauge needles from the Evans and MarCal predicates. Also, the 26 gauge flows somewhat better than the Evans 24 gauge needle, but slower than the MarCal 24 gauge. In comparison, the 24 gauge RMS HigH-Flo™ Subcutaneous Safety Needle Sets flow as well as, or better than, any of the listed predicate devices.
To further support this conclusion, a second test was completed in which the 24 gauge needle set was tested using the same method as the 26 gauge comparison test above, and a single 24 gauge needle set was compared with subsequent configurations with respect to total flow output. The test results indicate there was no degradation of flow rates with the additions of the 7th and 8th needles and the variation of flow from leg to leg was less than 7% for the 24 gauge needle sets.
In addition, the 24 gauge was tested using a 5cp viscosity fluid to simulate the flow of certain viscous drugs. Results confirm that these thicker drugs will flow as designed in the 24 gauge needle assemblies.
To support the addition of an optional convenience 24" Extension Set to provide additional length for the convenience of patients who are using the RMS 26 gauge needles, we conducted a flow test. This was to determine that the addition of the optional convenience 24" Extension Set would have (at most) a minor impact on flow rate and for most patients, and therefore would not be noticeable.

To the right of the hexagons is the text "RMS" in large, bold letters, with the trademark symbol next to the "S". Below "RMS" is the text "MEDICAL PRODUCTS" in smaller letters.
Residual Volume Testing:
Priming/residual volumes were also measured for the use of additional sites and 24 gauge needles and data was compared with the predicate devices. The performance testing indicates that the RMS HIgH-Flo™ Subcutaneous Safety Needle Sets have similar performance to the predicate devices specifically indicating substantially equivalency.
Data Revised:
Data revised since the predicate RMS submission K102512 that is included in this new submission, but does not affect the claims as stated in the cover letter, includes:
Sterilization and Shelf Life:
In accordance with ISO 11137, aging of the RMS High-Flo™ Subcutaneous Safety Needle Sets' packaging and product was completed for a three-year determination from a one year determination. Tests performed on the aged packaging and product included: dye migration; bag seal integrity; multi-port luer function and brittleness; needle/hub bond test; flexibility of [butterfly] wings; butterfly wing performance; luer/tube integrity. All results indicate that the integrity of the packaging and seal is acceptable and protects the device from degradation during three year aging and there is no degradation of the product. See Section 14 for details.
Data Unchanged:
Data unchanged since the predicate RMS submission K102512 and that is included in this new submission, but does not affect the claims as stated in the cover letter, includes:
Needle Tip Measurements:
A comparison of the needle tip dimensions indicates there is no substantial difference between the RMS HIgH-Flo™ Subcutaneous Safety Needle Sets and the predicate devices.
Performance Testing:
Needle tip, stiffness, resistance to breakage and corrosion, conical fitting, and fatigue tests were completed for the RMS HIgH-Flo™ Subcutaneous Safety Needle Sets and compared with the predicate devices.
Conclusion:
Considering all clinical and non-clinical data included in this 510(k) submission, the RMS HIgH-Flo™ Subcutaneous Safety Needle Sets are as safe, as effective, and perform equally to, or better than, predicate devices from RMS, Evans, and MarCal.
