EWNLTM Safety Syringe with Needle (1mL, 2 mL, 3 mL, and 10 mL) is a sterile, single-use, disposable and non-reusable manual retractable safety svringe, intended for medical purposes for injection of fluids into the body, while reducing the risks of sharps injuries and the potential for syringe reuse. This syringe is intended to be used by nurse, clinicians, or professional healthcare providers only.
Device Description
EWNL " Safety Syringe with Needle is a sterile, single-use, disposable, non-reusable, manual retractable safety syringe provided with needle. EWNL™ Safety Syringe is intended for medical purposes that consists of a calibrated hollow barrel and a movable plunger. The device is intended for injection of fluids into, or withdrawal from, the body. The function of EWNL " Safety Syringe works the same as a conventional hypodermic syringe except for its ability to retract the contaminated needle inside the syringe barrel after the injection. Needle retraction is activated manually by the syringe user. The device also features a destructible plunger, which can be pulled back, snapped off, and the entire unit disposed of after the needle is locked inside the syringe barrel. With this sharps injury prevention design, the svringe user is protected from accidental needle sticks.

No
The description focuses on the mechanical, manual retraction mechanism and safety features of a syringe, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device is a safety syringe intended for injecting fluids or withdrawing fluids from the body and for reducing sharps injuries; it does not directly treat a disease or condition.

No

This device is a safety syringe intended for the injection or withdrawal of fluids, not for diagnostic purposes. Its primary function is to safely administer or remove substances, while also preventing sharps injuries.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical syringe with a needle and mechanical features for safety and disposal. There is no mention of software components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "injection of fluids into the body, while reducing the risks of sharps injuries and the potential for syringe reuse." This describes a device used for administering substances directly into a living organism.
  • Device Description: The description details a "calibrated hollow barrel and a movable plunger" for "injection of fluids into, or withdrawal from, the body." This is the function of a standard syringe. The safety features relate to preventing needle sticks and reuse, not to analyzing samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose a condition, monitor treatment, or screen for diseases.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body to provide information about a person's health. This device is used for direct interaction with the body for therapeutic or diagnostic procedures (like drawing blood, which is then analyzed by an IVD).

EWNLTM Safety Syringe is compatible with any other hypodermic single lumen needle predicate devices DuoPro The Safety Syringes are all provided sterile, single-use, and disposable. Similar to its predicate devices (see Section 6 below), tthe needle is retracted manually and enclosed within the syringe barrel once the iniection has been completed. Once the plunger is fully pulled back, the needle is locked inside the syringe barrel and the plunger rod can be snapped off. Based on this device design and its operating principles, the device is rendered non-reusable and disposable.

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

The simulated clinical test results indicate no sharps injuries or failures of the safety mechanism occurred. These results support the claim that EWNLTN Safety Syringes may reduce the risk of accidental needlestick injuries. The positive responses from the study participants regarding functional performance aspects also support the functionality as per the device design and its operating principle.

ability to retract the contaminated needle inside the syringe barrel after the injection. Needle retraction is activated manually by the syringe user. The device also features a destructible plunger, which can be pulled back, snapped off, and the entire unit disposed of after the needle is locked inside the syringe barrel. With this sharps injury prevention design, the svringe user is protected from accidental needle sticks.

EWNLTM Safety Syringe is compatible with any other hypodermic single lumen needle predicate devices DuoPro The Safety Syringes are all provided sterile, single-use, and disposable. Similar to its predicate devices (see Section 6 below), tthe needle is retracted manually and enclosed within the syringe barrel once the iniection has been completed. Once the plunger is fully pulled back, the needle is locked inside the syringe barrel and the plunger rod can be snapped off. Based on this device design and its operating principles, the device is rendered non-reusable and disposable.

6. Substantial Equivalence:

The EWNL™ Safety Syringe with Needle is substantially equivalent to the cited predicate devices (i.e., DuoPro™ Safety Syringe, 3mL, 5mL, cleared under K022806 & Bak'Snap DuProSS™ Retractable Safety Syringe, 10 mL, cleared under K034031). This is based on the similarities in the intended use, operating principle, device design and technological characteristics.

The operating principles and device design for EWNL " Safety Syringe is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices (K022806 and K034031).

The proposed EWNL 1.0 Safety Syringe is the same as the predicate devices indicated for injecting fluids into the body while helping to reduce the risks of sharps injuries. The proposed EWNL™ Safety Syringe is the same as the predicate devices that have an annulus connector that holds the hypodermic needle and to be mated with the projection spike on the piston, thereby locking the needle to the plunger. These three syringes require the user to manually retract the needle plunger into the syringe barrel, break off the plunger rod, and discard the pieces.

The EWNL " Safety Syringe is provided with a single lumen hypodermic needle whereas the two predicate devices DuoPro "" Safety Syringes can be ordered with or without a needle. The modified EWNLTM Safety Syringe uses a luer lock connector, while the predicate devices DuoPro"™ Safety Syringe use either a luer slip or luer lock needle connector. The major difference between the modified EWNLTM Safety Syringe (1mL, 2 mL, 5 mL, and 10 mL) and the predicate devices DuoProTM Safety Syringe (3 mL, 5mL) and Bak'Snap DuProSS 110 Retractable Safety Syringe (10 mL) is the syringe volume (and associated dimensions). This difference does not affect the performance of the syringe, since syringe size is typically determined by drug volume to be administered and user preference. JIAMEI-UN CO., LTD believes that the differences between the EWNL ™ Safety Syringe with Needle and the cited predicate devices do not affect the performance or raise new issues of safety and effectiveness.

7. Performance Summary:

EWNL TM Safety Syringe with Needle is substantially equivalent and meets the same acceptance criteria as the predicate devices in K022806 and K034031. In terms of physical specification, chemical specification, biocompatibility, and sterilization of the proposed device conforms to applicable standards including ISO 7864, ISO 594, ISO 7886-1, ISO 10993 series, ISO 11135-1, and FDA Guidance. The simulated clinical test results indicate no sharps injuries or failures of the safety mechanism occurred. These results support the claim that EWNLTN Safety Syringes may reduce the risk of accidental needlestick injuries. The positive responses from the study participants regarding functional performance aspects also support the functionality as per the device design and its operating principle.

8. Conclusion:

EWNL™ Safety Syringe with Needle in this 510(k) submission is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices (K022806 and K034031) in safety and effectiveness.
