Intended Use
The NovoPen Echo* is a re-useable pen injector designed for single patient use by diabetics for the self-injection of a desired dose of insulin. The pen injector uses Penli ill " 3 mL cartridges of Novo Nordisk insulin and a single use detachable and disposable pen needle (supplied separately). The pen injector allows the user to dial the desired dose from 0.5 to 30 units in one-half (1/2) unit increments.
Device Description
The NovoPen Echo® is a reusable mechanical pen-injector capable of injecting a dose of up to 30 units of insulin, in half unit increments, from a Novo Nordisk 3.0 mL insulin cartridge. The intended dose is mechanically set by rotating a dose button. The insulin is injected by depressing the dose button which via mechanical coupling causes the piston in the insulin cartridge to move forward thereby expelling the intended dose. The device has a memory function and liquid crystal display that allows the user to review the units of the last dose and the number of hours that have elapsed since the last dose was taken. Rotation of the dose button during dose setting causes a sensor to rotate within a coded cylinder. The movement detected by this sensor is stored for later display on the liquid crystal display in the dosage selector module as the number of units injected. The pen-injector is intended for use with Novo Nordisk 3.0 mL insulin cartridges and single-use, detachable and disposable pen needle (supplied separately by Novo Nordisk).
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description details a purely mechanical pen injector with a simple memory function for the last dose and time elapsed, based on mechanical rotation and a sensor. There is no mention of AI or ML algorithms for dose calculation, prediction, or any other function.

Yes.
The device is designed for the self-injection of insulin, which is a therapeutic intervention for diabetics.

No

Explanation: The NovoPen Echo is described as a re-useable pen injector for self-injection of insulin. It delivers a desired dose of insulin and has a memory function to review the last dose and time elapsed. It does not perform any diagnostic function, i.e., it does not diagnose a disease or condition.

No

The device description clearly details a mechanical pen-injector with a memory function and liquid crystal display, indicating it is a hardware device with integrated software for dose tracking and display.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • NovoPen Echo's Function: The NovoPen Echo is a device used to deliver a substance (insulin) into the body. It does not analyze any biological samples or provide diagnostic information. Its function is purely mechanical delivery and dose tracking.

Therefore, the NovoPen Echo falls under the category of a drug delivery device, not an IVD.

The pen-injector is intended for use with Novo Nordisk 3.0 mL insulin cartridges and single-use, detachable and disposable pen needle (supplied separately by Novo Nordisk).

5. Intended Use including Indication for Use:

The Novo Pen Echo is a re-usable pen injector designed for single-patient use by diabetics for the self-injection of a desired dose of insulin. The pen injector uses PenFill 3.0 mL cartridges of Novo Nordisk insulin and a single use detachable and disposable pen needle (supplied separately). The pen injector allows the user to dial the desired dose from 0.5 to 30 units in one half (1/2) unit increments.

6. Technological Characteristics:

The NovoPen Echo® is considered substantially equivalent to the predicate device in intended use, principle of operation, memory function, energy source and performance. The memory function of the predicate device has identical functionality as the NovoPen Echo. The injection technique used to administer insulin is the same for each device. Each device requires a needle to penetrate the subcutaneous layer of tissue, an insulin source and a plunger to push the insulin from the source, through the needle and into the subcutaneous laver of tissue. Each device is capable of multiple injections from a single insulin source (cartridge).

7. Testing

Performance Data:

The results of design verification testing has documented that the NovoPen Echo® meets all its design requirements and complies with the requirements specified in ISO! 1608-1 Pen-injectors for medical use - Part 1: Pen-injectors - Requirements and test methods.

The results of Human Factor testing has documented that the NovoPen Echo" is safe to use by the intended users in the intended environment for the intended use.

Shelf Life:

The NovoPen Echo® has an in-use lifetime of 5 years provided that the pen is taken into use within two years of the production date. The NovoPen Echo® informs the user via the memory display when the pen has reached its end of life.

8. Conclusions:

In conclusion, the results of the testing demonstrate that NovoPen Echo is as safe and effective and performs as well as the predicate device.

The results of the testing to voluntary standards provide additional evidence that NovoPen Echo is substantially equivalent to the predicate device in terms of safety, efficacy and performance.

The differences between NovoPen Echo® and the predicate device do not raise any new issues of safety or effectiveness.
