Intended Use

The Safety Auto-Disable Syringe with Needle (Auto-Lock) is used for aspiration of fluids from vials and ampoules and a variety of fluid injections below the surface of the skin except phlebotomy.

It has a detachable needle with a dedicated fitting. The Safety Auto-Disable Syringe with Needle (Auto-Lock) contains an inner mechanism used to allow the needle to be retracted inside the plunger rod of the syringe after the operator's thumb force released. After activation the needle is fully contained inside the syringe guarding against accidental needle sticks during normal handling and disposal of the used needle/syringe combination.

Device Description

The proposed device is a single use, sterile syringe composed of barrel, plunger, plunger, push-button, spring, spring holder, rubber stopper, needle cap, and autodisable part.

AI/ML Overview

The document provided is a 510(k) premarket notification for a "Safety Auto-Disable Syringe with Needle (Auto-Lock)". It describes the device, its intended use, and a comparison to predicate devices, along with summaries of performance testing.

Here's an analysis of the requested information based on the provided text:

1. Table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document does not explicitly present a table of "acceptance criteria" against "reported device performance" for each individual test in the format usually expected for a medical device. Instead, it lists various bench tests and indicates that the device conforms to relevant ISO standards. For the simulated clinical study, a specific performance metric related to the failure rate is given.

Here's a table based on the information provided, focusing on the simulated clinical study's outcome as the most direct "performance" metric stated:

Acceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
Failure rate no higher than 0.7% (with 97.5% confidence) OR failure rate no higher than 1.1% (with 99.5% confidence)No failures observed in 512 device trial.

For other tests, the document generally states "Conforms to [ISO Standard]" or "Comply to [ISO Standard]" as the performance, implying that the standards themselves define the acceptance criteria. Examples include:

Test NameAcceptance Criteria (Implied from standard)Reported Device Performance
Sterile testConforms to sterility requirementsMeets standard
Bacterial Endotoxin testConforms to endotoxin limitsMeets standard
Residual of EO testConforms to EO residue limitsMeets standard
Needle point piecing strength testConforms to ISO 7864Meets standard
Piston in barrel fitness testConforms to ISO 7886-1Meets standard
Tolerance on graduated capacity (delivery accuracy) testComply to ISO 7886-1Meets standard
Hub/needle bond strengthConform to ISO 7864Conform to ISO 7864
Reuse durabilityCan't be re-used according to ISO 7886-4Can't re-used according to ISO 7886-4

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

  • Sample Size for Simulated Clinical Study: 512 devices.
  • Data Provenance: The simulated clinical study and a "clinical investigation" were "performed in China per the requirements of China FDA." This indicates the data is prospective, acquired from China.

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

The document does not mention the use of "experts" to establish ground truth in the context of the simulated clinical study or other performance tests. The tests performed are primarily bench tests and a simulated clinical study, which would rely on objective measurements and established protocols rather than expert consensus on a "ground truth" (e.g., as in image interpretation).

4. Adjudication method for the test set

Not applicable. The tests described are objective performance and safety evaluations, not subjective assessments requiring adjudication by multiple readers or experts.

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-powered diagnostic or assistive tool where MRMC studies would be relevant to evaluate AI assistance for human readers.

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

Not applicable. This device is a physical syringe, not an algorithm.

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

The concept of "ground truth" as typically used in AI/diagnostic studies (e.g., pathology, clinical outcomes) is not directly applicable to the performance testing of this physical medical device. The "ground truth" for the tests mentioned (e.g., sterility, fluid delivery accuracy, needle integrity) would be defined by the specifications and measurable parameters within the referenced ISO standards. For example, for "Sterile test," the ground truth is "sterile" as determined by microbiology methods conforming to standards. For "hub/needle bond strength," the ground truth is a specific force threshold defined in ISO 7864.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an AI model requiring a training set.

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

Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device.

ComparisonSummaryThe subject device has the same or simpler intended use comparing to predicate devices.
The subject device has similar operation principle comparing to predicate devices.
Except for BD Integra 1ml syringe (not separable), all devices have a detachable needle with a dedicated luer fitting.
The key difference between the proposed and predicate devices are the applied syringe volumes and needle gauges have some differences. The proposed device has product volumes as 1 / 3 / 5 / 10 ml, comparing to WTF secura safety syringe's product volumes as 1/ 2.5/ 3 / 5 / 10 ml. And the proposed device has product needle gauges range as 21G – 28G, comparing BD spring based syringe & Integra 1ml syringe's product needle gauges 18G - 30G.
Another different is the sterilization method. For both our proposed device and WTF secura safety syringe, only EO sterilization method is applied. However for BD spring based syringe, Gamma irradiation sterilization method can be applied too.
However, this sterilization method non-identical will not impact to both proposed and predicate devices since relevant International ISO sterilization standards are followed to ensure the sterilization process to product.
These differences do not have impact to product technology & performance to both subject and predicate devices, and do not raise new issues of product performance.
With the same / smaller intended use scope & similar principle of operation, and complying to the same ISO standards, e.g. ISO 7886, ISO 7886-1, ISO 7886-4, and 21 CFR Part 801, and FDA guidance, Submission for Medical Device with Sharps Injury Prevention Features, the proposed device, Intmed safety auto-disable syringe with needle, performs in a similar manner to the predicate devices, WTF Secura Syringe (with needle), BD Spring Based Syringe, and BD Integra 1ml Syringe
All these test / comparison have corresponding requirements/ control criteria following above mentioned standards. And the test results and comparison results show that the subject product is substantially equivalent to the predicate device in performance.

5. Simulated Clinical Study Summary:

Following the 'Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff- Medical Devices with Sharps Injury Prevention Features' (Aug., 9, 2005), the Intmed Safety Auto-Disable Syringe with Needle (Auto-Lock) had evaluated by simulated clinical study. During the simulated clinical study, there were no failures observed in a trial test run of 512 devices, we would be 97.5% confident that the true failure rate was no higher than 0.7% and 99.5% confident that it was no higher than 1.1%.

6. Conclusion:

Based on the intended use, technology characteristics, and performance testing, the proposed product, safety auto-disable syringe, has been shown to be appropriate for its intended use and is considered to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

§ 880.5860 Piston syringe.

(a)
Identification. A piston syringe is a device intended for medical purposes that consists of a calibrated hollow barrel and a movable plunger. At one end of the barrel there is a male connector (nozzle) for fitting the female connector (hub) of a hypodermic single lumen needle. The device is used to inject fluids into, or withdraw fluids from, the body.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
