No
The device description and intended use are purely mechanical and do not mention any computational or analytical capabilities, let alone AI/ML.
No.
The device is a pen needle used for injecting insulin, which is a drug delivery device, not a therapeutic device itself.
No
The device is described as a pen needle used for the "subcutaneous injection of insulin," which is a treatment delivery function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly details a physical medical device (pen needles) made of materials like cannula, hub, and shields, and undergoes physical sterilization. It is not software.
Based on the provided text, the CareFine Pen Needle™ is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the "subcutaneous injection of insulin" using a pen injector device. This is a direct administration of a substance into the body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose a condition.
- Device Description: The description details a mechanical device designed for delivering medication. It does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, etc.) for diagnostic purposes.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Testing biological samples.
- Measuring analytes or biomarkers.
- Providing diagnostic information.
- Reagents or test kits.
The device is clearly intended for drug delivery, which falls under a different category of medical devices than IVDs.

Device Description
CareFine™ Pen Needles are single use, sterile medical devices designed to be used in conjunction with pen injectors and pen cartridges for the subcutaneous injection of insulin. Pen needles are used by consumers, caregivers and health care professionals. They are offered in various gauge sizes (29G, 30G, 31G and 32G) and the blue needle shield will be offered in 8mm length. CareFine™ Pen Needles are sterile by EtO terminal sterilization, and they are non-toxic and non-pyrogenic.
The pen needle assembly consists of a doubled-ended cannula that is assembled into an injection molded hub using adhesive. The hub has internal threads, which allow it to be screwed onto the pen injector device. This allows the cartridge end of the cannula to penetrate through the rubber septum of the cartridge. The patient-end and the cartridgeend of the cannula are lubricated using a silicone based lubricant for ease of injection and rubber septum penetration.
An injection-molded inner shield is assembled over the patient-end of the cannula to protect the point from damage and accidental needle-sticks. This needle assembly is inserted into a protective injection-molded outer cover and sealed with a peel-away label to provide a sterile barrier and tamper evident seal. The peel-away label is pre-printed with information, which includes the lot number, needle gauge and needle length.
The individual needle assemblies are packaged in cartons, and placed into shippers with appropriate labeling. The shipper cases are palletized and sterilized to a SAL of 10° by EtO terminal sterilization.
The purpose of this Special 510(k) is to request modification to our CareFine™ Pen Needle family to include blue colored inner needle shield to distinguish the 8mm needle length.
The intended use for the modified device remains the same as the predicate device.

[(807.92(a)(6)] Technological Characteristics:
The CareFine™ Pen Needle with blue colored needle shield is identical in composition to the CareFine™ Pen Needle family. The only difference is the blue color additive to the inner needle shield to distinguish an 8mm needle length.
The CareFine™ Pen Needle with blue colored inner needle shields are equivalent given that they:
- . Have the same indication for use,
- Do not have any labeling changes that affect the intended use of the device, .
- Do not alter the fundamental scientific technology, .
- . Incorporate the same basic design
- Use the same operating principles, .
- Are manufactured from the same materials, .
- Are sterilized with a resulting SAL of 10to, and �
- Are packaged using same unit and case materials. ●
Based on the comparisons described above to the predicate comparator device, the CareFine™ Pen Needle with blue colored inner needle shields do not raise any new issues of safety and effectiveness.

Dear Ms. Register:
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. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21. Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set
