Leak Resistance	The container passed this test. No leaks were observed with the product standing in an upright position for 1 hour when filled with water to the labeled fill line. (Based on OSHA specification 29 CFR 1910.1030)
Sharps Access and Closure	The sharps container passed. There was no wear or tear of the device after 100 cycles of opening and closing, and after subsequent impact and leak tests. All syringes remained below the fill line.
Stability - Spillage	The tested devices did not leak, and there was no breach of the sharps contents when dropped from 3 feet in different orientations (base, side wall, adjacent side wall, top) after being filled with water and syringes. The containers passed this test.
Handling - Transit Damage / Stacking	The sharps container passed. It was free from any visible damage that might affect customer usage, safety, or satisfaction when packaged in the shipping case and dropped from 24 inches in 10 different orientations. The sharps container also passed the stacking test without visible damage.

Detailed Study Information:

Sample sizes used for the test set and data provenance:
- Needle Penetration Resistance: "All 12 needle puncture force tests" suggests a sample size of 12 for this specific test.
- Impact and Leak Resistance, Leak Resistance, Sharps Access and Closure, Stability - Spillage, Handling - Transit Damage/Stacking: The document doesn't specify an exact number of samples for each of these tests but refers to "the container," "the sharps container," or "the tested devices" in singular or plural form without quantifiable sample sizes. It mentions using "a new container for each test" in the Stability - Spillage test.
- Data Provenance: The tests were conducted as "performance bench testing" and "product testing" by Bellegrove Medical Supply, Inc. This indicates it is retrospective data collected internally for the purpose of regulatory submission. The country of origin is not explicitly stated for the testing, but the company is based in the USA.
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Not applicable. This study focuses on physical and mechanical performance characteristics of a sharps container, not diagnostic accuracy requiring expert interpretation. The "ground truth" for these tests is defined by established engineering and safety standards (ASTM, OSHA) and measured objective outcomes (e.g., puncture force, leakage, integrity after drops).
Adjudication method for the test set:
- Not applicable. As with point 2, this type of study does not involve subjective interpretations requiring adjudication. The results are based on objective measurements against defined criteria.
If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done:
- No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This study is for a physical device (sharps container), not an AI algorithm or a diagnostic tool that involves human readers.
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Not applicable. This is not an AI-based device or an algorithm. It is a physical medical device. The "standalone" concept here would refer to the device's inherent mechanical properties independently tested.
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- The "ground truth" or reference standard for these tests is based on recognized consensus standards such as:
  - ASTM F-2131-01 (reapproved 2008) "Standard Specification for Puncture Resistance of Materials Used in Containers for Discarded Medical Needles and Other Sharps."
  - OSHA specification (29 CFR 1910.1030) for leak resistance.
  - FDA guidance document, "Guidance on the Content and Format of Premarket Notification [510(K)) Submission for Sharps Containers" dated October 1993.
- The criteria are objective and measurable properties defined by these standards.
The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable. This is a physical device, and the testing described is performance validation against established standards, not the training of a machine learning model.
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable, as there is no training set for a machine learning model.

In addition the relevant FDA guidance document, "Guidance on the Content and Format of Premarket Notification [510(K)) Submission for Sharps Containers" dated October 1993, was used to identify applicable physical and mechanical features of the modified and predicate devices.

All applicable standards have been used to show that the B Travel Savvy container is substantially equivalent to the listed predicate device.

The performance testing summary demonstrates substantial equivalence between the modified device and the predicate device. The new sharp container has been tested by appropriate methods with respect to relevant FDA guidance documents; FDA recognized ASTM standards F 2132-01 and OSHA regulations 29 CFR Part 1910:1030. No new issues of safety and effectiveness were raised with the testing performed, and the B Travel Savvy container is considered substantially equivalent to it predicate device.

9.2. Performance testing (bench) - product testing

The results of product performance testing demonstrated equivalent performance to predicate device performance and no new issues of concern were raised.

{7}------------------------------------------------

9.2.1. Impact and leak resistance

Impact resistance was assessed such that no open fractures or disassembly results when a filled container is dropped. The container is filled with assorted sharps or syringes with or without needles, or equivalent weight using resin beads and sealed as if ready for transport.

Results: The sharps container passed the impact and leak resistance tests.

9.2.2. Needle penetration resistance

Needle penetration resistance is based on ASTM F-2131-01, "Standard Specification for penetration resistance of materials used in containers for discarded medical needles and other sharps", for minimum and average needle penetration force. The test method involves cutting samples from the needle containment area of the sharps container. Each sample is tested using a motorized mechanical tester (Isntron, ATS or equivalent with a new 21 gauge x 1" needle, each penetration is tested at 4"/minute.

Results: All 12 needle puncture force tests were greater the minimum requirement of 2.8 lbf and average of puncture force of 3.4 lbf. The sharps container passed the needle penetration resistance tests.

9.2.3. Leak resistance

The leak resistance testing is based on OSHA specification (29 CFR 1910.1030). The container is filled with water to the labeled fill line and left to stand on its base 1 hour.

Results: The container passed this test. No leaks were observed with product standing in upright position.

9.2.4. Sharps access and closure

The sharps access and closure test is designed the functionality of the device. A sharps container is filled with various sized syringes to the fill line. Close the lid. Subject the container to normal opening and closing processes for 100 times. Each time check to validate each syringe is below the full line. Repeat the impact and leak test.

Results: The sharps container passed. There were no wear or tear of the device after the 100 tests opening and closing of the device.

{8}------------------------------------------------

9.2.5. Stability - spillage of sharps waste

Fill it with 1 oz. of water and various sizes of syringes to the fill line. Position the sharps container about 3 feet above the floor. Release the container. Examine the sharps container for integrity and evidence of leakage/wetting of the outer surface of the container and /or wetting of the impact surface. Repeat the procedure in a different orientation (base, side wall, adjacent side wall and top using a new container for each test.

Results: The tested devices did not leak and there was not a breach of the sharps. The containers passed this test.

9.2.6.Handling - transit damage resistance/stacking test

Transit damage testing demonstrates the product is free from any visible damage that may affect customer usage, safety, or satisfaction when products are packaged in shipping cases and dropped. The appropriate number of products are packaged in the appropriate shipping case and sealed as if ready for shipment. The shipping case is dropped from 24" onto a hard surface floor in 10 different orientations.
