Intended Use
The Comfort EZ™ disposable sterile insulin syringes are intended for injection of U100 insulin only.
Device Description
The Comfort EZ™ insulin syringe consists of a calibrated hollow barrel which can contain the medication and the distal end of barrel is fixed with needle. The needle cannot be exchanged after assembling because needle is fixed in the barrel nozzle lumen. The plunger and gasket are the same shape as the conventional insulin syringes. The needle cap cover is intended to provide physical protection to the needle tube. The cap is color coded orange, same as equivalent insulin syringes. The syringes are available in 28 through 31 gauge needle sizes, in 0.3 ml/cc and 1 ml/cc capacities. They are supplied with a sterile fluid path, (EO), non-toxic, and non pyrogenic, for single use only, disposable. The devices operate on the principles of common piston syringes.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and material properties of a standard insulin syringe, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device is an insulin syringe designed for injection of insulin, which is a therapeutic delivery method, not a therapeutic device itself that provides therapy.

No

Explanation: The device is described as an insulin syringe intended for the injection of insulin, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical medical device (syringe with needle, barrel, plunger, etc.) and the performance studies focus on bench testing and standards compliance related to physical properties and sterility. There is no mention of software components.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "injection of U100 insulin only." This describes a device used to administer a substance into the body, not to perform tests on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a syringe with a needle, barrel, plunger, and gasket. This is consistent with a device for delivering medication, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to test or analyze biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or to provide information about a patient's health status based on such analysis.

IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This syringe does not fit that description.

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

Bench and standards compliance testing was performed. Bench testing included: Biocompatibility: (ref ISO 10993) Cytotoxicity, Maximization, Intracutaneous Toxicity, Hemolysis, Systemetic toxicity, and Pyrogen Testing, Mechanical testing: Hub/needle bond strength. ISO 7894:1993 Sterility testing (ISO 11607 and ISO 11135) including EO residues testing (ISO 10997-7.) Standards compliance: ISO 8537 Sterile, Single-Use Syringes, with or without Needle, for Insulin Scale: conforms to ISO8537:1991(E) The tests demonstrated that the device is as safe, as effective, and performs in a substantially equivalent manner to the predicate device.

Dear Mr. Kamm:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
