Intended Use

Integra® Miltex® N-Tralig® Intraligamentary Syringe is indicated to be used in conjunction with anesthetic needles and cartridges for injection of anesthetic into the periodontal ligament.

Device Description

The Integra® Miltex® N-Traligamentary Syringe is a cartridge syringe intended to inject anesthetic agents into the intraligamentary space (i.e., periodontal ligament). The device consists of a stainless steel syringe body into which a disposable, previously filled, glass carpule (a cylindrical cartridge) containing anesthetic is placed. After attaching a needle to the barrel cap, the device is used to administer an injection to the patient. The Integra® Miltex® N-Tralig® Intraligamentary Syringe delivers 0.2cc of anesthetic with each ratchet. The ratchet action of the syringe allows for the slow infiltration of anesthetic during the Periodontal Ligament Injection (PDL injection) to help minimize patient discomfort. The 30° adapter helps provide a better angle with difficult-to-reach injections. The syringe comes with a solid barrel and a window barrel.

AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the provided text, focusing on acceptance criteria and study details.

Based on the provided text, the device is the Integra® Miltex® N-Tralig® Intraligamentary Syringe. This document is a 510(k) summary, which generally focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a full clinical study with detailed performance metrics and acceptance criteria as might be found in a De Novo or PMA submission.

Therefore, the "acceptance criteria" discussed here are primarily related to meeting recognized standards and validating specific processes, rather than performance metrics of an AI algorithm or a clinical effectiveness study.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Given the nature of a 510(k) for a medical device like a syringe, the "acceptance criteria" are typically related to standards compliance and validation of operational aspects (like cleaning and sterilization) rather than clinical performance metrics in the way one might evaluate an AI algorithm's diagnostic accuracy.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

The document describes non-clinical technical testing (cleaning, sterilization validation). It does not mention a "test set" in the context of patient data or clinical performance. Therefore, there is no information provided regarding sample size, country of origin, or retrospective/prospective nature of a clinical test set.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

Not applicable. This device is a mechanical syringe, not an AI diagnostic tool. Ground truth in the context described (cleaning and sterilization validation) would be established by the adherence to specified quality and safety standards and documented validation protocols, likely involving lab technicians and engineers, not clinical experts for ground truth.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

Not applicable, as there is no clinical "test set" or diagnostic evaluation that would require an adjudication method.

5. 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 is a medical device (syringe), not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

Not applicable. This is a medical device (syringe), not an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

For the technical tests (cleaning and sterilization validation), the "ground truth" is adherence to established, recognized international and national standards (e.g., ISO, AAMI). For biocompatibility, the ground truth is based on the long-standing safety record and material specifications of stainless steel.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This is a medical device (syringe), not an AI algorithm requiring a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Not applicable. As there is no training set for an AI algorithm.

There are no significant differences in technology, intended use, or design between the subject devices and the predicates selected.

Performance Standards:

One standard has been promulgated under Section 514 of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act for cartridge syringes: ISO 7405 Second edition 2008-12-15, dentistry - evaluation of biocompatibility of medical devices used in dentistry as published in the Federal Register (Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act of 1997: Modifications to the List of Recognized Standards, Recognition List Number: 034; 01/30/2014).

The complete list of standards used to evaluate the Integra® Miltex® N-Tralig® Intraligamentary Syringe are as follows:

· AAMI TIR12:2010 – Designing, testing, and labeling reusable medical devices for reprocessing in health care facilities: A guide for medical device manufacturers

• AAMI TIR30:2011 – A compendium of processes, materials, test methods, and acceptance criteria for cleaning reusable medical devices

• ANSVAAMI/ISO 17665-1:2006/(R)2013 (EN ISO 17665-1:2006) – Sterilization of health care products - Moist heat - Requirements for the development, validation and routine control of sterilization process for medical devices (FDA 14-261)

  • ANSI/AAMI ST79:2010/A1:2010/A2:2011/A3:2012/A4:2013 Comprehensive guide to steam sterilization and sterility assurance in health care facilities (FDA 14-439)
    • ANSVAAMI ST81:2004/(R)2010 – Sterilization of medical devices - Information to be provided by the manufacturer for the processing of resterilizable medical devices (FDA 14-295)

• ISO 14971 - Medical devices - Application of risk management to medical devices (FDA 5-40)

• ISO 7153-1 – Surgical instruments -- Metallic materials -- Part 1: Stainless steel (FDA 8-344)

· ISO 7405 - Dentistry - Evaluation of biocompatibility of medical devices used in dentistry [Including: Amendment 1 (2013)] (FDA 4-212)

Non-Clinical Testing PerformedResults
Manual Cleaning ValidationPass
Pulse pre-vacuum sterilization validation at 132°C for 4 minutesPass
Pulse pre-vacuum sterilization validation at 134°C for 3 minutesPass
Gravity Displacement Steam Sterilization Validation at 132°C for 15 minutesPass

No biocompatibility testing was performed on the proposed devices as 420, 303, and 301 stainless steels are recognized as suitable stainless steels for surgical instruments, parts, and assemblies per ISO 7153-1. Stainless steel has a long history of safe and effective use, and has been used in other medical devices that have been cleared by the FDA.

Conclusions drawn from Non-Clinical Data:

All necessary testing has been performed on the Integra® Miltex® N-Tralig® Intraligamentary Syringe and the results support the conclusion that the subject devices are substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate devices based on intended use, materials, technology, and design and as such, do not raise any concerns of safety or effectiveness.

§ 872.6770 Cartridge syringe.

(a)
Identification. A cartridge syringe is a device intended to inject anesthetic agents subcutaneously or intramuscularly. The device consists of a metal syringe body into which a disposable, previously filled, glass carpule (a cylindrical cartridge) containing anesthetic is placed. After attaching a needle to the syringe body and activating the carpule by partially inserting the plunger on the syringe, the device is used to administer an injection to the patient.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 872.9.
