Study Details (Interpreted for a Hardware Medical Device)
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Sample Size: Not explicitly stated as a number of devices (e.g., "N=100 needles"). However, the tests were performed on "samples" before EtO-Sterilization and after 3 sterilization cycles, as well as after accelerated aging. This implies a sufficient number of samples were used to meet the statistical requirements of the listed ISO standards.
- Data Provenance: The tests were conducted internally by B. Braun Melsungen AG, a German company ("B. Braun Melsungen AG Dr. Stefan Seidel... Germany"). This would be considered internal company data. The source is retrospective in the sense that the testing was completed prior to the 510(k) submission.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Not applicable in the AI/ML sense. "Ground truth" for this device is established by objective measurements against engineering standards (e.g., cannula dimensions, hub connection strength, flow rates). These are not determined by expert consensus in the same way as diagnosing medical images. The expertise lies in the engineers performing and interpreting the physical and chemical tests according to the standards.
-
Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not applicable. This concept pertains to resolving discrepancies in expert opinions, which isn't relevant for objective physical measurements against engineering standards. The results of the tests are binary (pass/fail) based on predefined criteria in the ISO standards.
-
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:
- Not applicable. This device is a hypodermic needle, a physical medical instrument, not an AI or software-based diagnostic tool. There are no "human readers" or "AI assistance" involved in its functional evaluation.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Not applicable. This is a hardware device, not an algorithm.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- Objective engineering standards and measurements. The "ground truth" for this device relates to its physical properties and functional performance as defined by international standards (ISO 7864, ISO 9626, ISO 594-1, ISO 594-2). For example, a needle's bending strength is measured against a specified force, not determined by expert opinion.
-
The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable. There is no "training set" as this is not an AI/ML device.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable. There is no "training set" or "ground truth" establishment in the context of AI/ML for this device.

510(k) Summary
Section 7 - Page 2 of 3
{2}------------------------------------------------
There are two differences between ExtaviPro™ Sterican™ 30G and Sterican™ hypodermic needles:
- The device is a 30G needle and is thus smaller than all other Sterican™ needles . marketed so far under K072247. There are, however, quite a number of 30 G hypodermic needles already on the US market, as for instance covered by K113186 (Novotwist needle, Novo Nordisk).
- ExtaviPro™ Sterican™ 30G will exclusively be sold to Novartis. As customer . requirement, a small collar is around the needle hub. This does not change the performance of the device because the inner surface geometry was not changed.
5. Tests
5.1. Non-clinical tests
Functional testing was performed to demonstrate safety and effectiveness and to ensure that the ExtaviPro "M Sterican"M 30G needles meet the requirements of the standards
- · ISO 7864:1993(E), Sterile hypodermic needles for singe use
- IS0 9626:1991/Amd. 1:2001(E), Stainless steel needle tubing for the manufacture of medical devices
- ISO 594-1, Conical fittings with 6% (Luer) taper for syringes, needles and certain . other medical equipment-Part 1: General requirements
- ISO 594-2, Conical fittings with 6% (Luer) taper for syringes, needles and certain ● other medical equipment-Part 2: Lock fittings.
Some of the tests have been executed on samples before EtO-Sterilization and after 3 sterilization cycles as well as after accelerated ageing, to demonstrate a shelf life of at least one vear.
The needles passed these tests and thus showed that they are as safe as the predicate needles.
5.2. Clinical tests
Not applicable
5.3. Conclusion
ExtaviPro™ Sterican™ 30G needles passed the tests. Since materials, manufacturing and sterilization processes are the same as for the predicate device, no new questions arise from this side. It is therefore concluded that ExtaviPro™ Sterican™ 30G needles are as safe, as effective, and perform as well as the predicate device.
