Intended Use

The ANUTRA Feedback Aspiration Syringe is intended for use by healtheare professionals for general purpose fluid aspiration/injection.

Device Description

The ANUTRA Feedback Aspiration Syringe is a piston syringe (control syringe) consisting of a plastic barrel which contains a printed graduated scale (5mL nominal volume) and 6% male Luer Lock connection, a plunger, and a plastic plunger rod. The internal surface of the ANUTRA Feedback Aspiration Syringe barrel is lubricated with polydimethylsiloxane (silicone). The plunger rod design contains a finger ring to allow for ease of use, and tab features with interface with the barrel to provide audible and tactile feedback to the user.

The ANUTRA Feedback Aspiration Syringe is single-use only, non-pyrogenic, and sterilized by gamma irradiation.

AI/ML Overview

The Anutra Feedback Aspiration Syringe's acceptance criteria and performance data are primarily based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (BD Single Use, Hypodermic Syringe, K110771) through a battery of performance tests conforming to international standards.

Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided document:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly present a "table of acceptance criteria" with "reported device performance" in a quantitative manner for most tests. Instead, it lists the tests performed on the subject device and implies that the device met the "specified requirements" for these tests, thereby demonstrating substantial equivalence. For some tests, the predicate device also had similar tests performed.

2. Sample Size for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The document does not specify the sample sizes used for each individual performance test (e.g., number of syringes tested for leakage, force, etc.).
The data provenance is from performance testing of the manufactured device (Anutra Feedback Aspiration Syringe) and a comparison to a predicate device. It is a prospective evaluation of the new device's performance against established standards. The country of origin of the data is not explicitly stated but would presumably be the testing labs contracted by Anutra Medical, Inc., or Gilero, LLC (based in the US).

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications

This device is a medical device (syringe), not an AI/diagnostic software. Therefore, the concept of "ground truth" established by experts in a diagnostic sense, or based on a "test set" of cases/images with expert interpretations, is not applicable here. The performance evaluation relies on meeting engineering and biocompatibility standards through physical and chemical testing.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

As this is not a diagnostic device or an AI application with human interpretation, an "adjudication method" (like 2+1, 3+1) is not applicable. The test results are objective measurements against specified standards.

5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done

No. This is a hardware medical device (syringe), not an AI system or diagnostic tool where MRMC studies involving human readers are performed.

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

Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an algorithm. Its standalone performance is assessed through the physical and chemical tests mentioned.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for this device's performance evaluation is based on:

  • International Standards: ISO 7886-1 for sterile hypodermic syringes, ISO 594-2 for Luer taper fittings, and ISO 10993 for biocompatibility.
  • ASTM Standards: For packaging integrity (ASTM F2096, F88, F1886M).
  • Predicate Device Characteristics: Comparison of technical and performance characteristics to a legally marketed predicate device to establish substantial equivalence.

These standards define the acceptable performance parameters (e.g., limits for acidity, leakage thresholds, force ranges, biocompatibility responses).

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. This is a hardware medical device, not an AI/machine learning system that requires a "training set."

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

Not applicable. As there is no training set for this device.

{5}------------------------------------------------

The predicate device is a piston syringe. The ANUTRA Feedback Aspiration Syringe is a type of piston syringe (specifically, a control syringe). The intended use for the ANUTRA Feedback Aspiration Syringe is the same as its predicate device, the BD Single Use, Hypodermic Syringe (K110771).

Barrel

The volume of fluid contained within the both the ANUTRA Feedback Aspiration Syringe and the predicate device is indicated by graduation marks printed on the outside of the barrel. The ANUTRA Feedback Aspiration Syringe has a plastic barrel with a 5mL nominal fluid volume. A 5mL variant of the predicate device contains the same nominal volume.

Luer Configuration

Both the subject device and the predicate device are offered in a male Luer Lock configuration. The predicate device is also available in a Slip Luer configuration (1mL only).

Nominal Fluid Volume

The nominal fluid volume for both the subject device and the predicate device is 5mL. The predicate device is also available in other fluid volumes.

Lubrication

The internal surface of the ANUTRA Feedback Aspiration Syringe is coated with a polydimethylsiloxane (silicone). The predicate device 510(k) summary does not specify whether or not the predicate device is lubricated, however based on an inspection of the predicate device, it is believed to be lubricated.

Plunger Rod & Plunger

Both the subject device and the predicate device have a plastic plunger rod and a synthetic rubber plunger; the plunger is attached to the plunger rod with snap-fit retention features. The ANUTRA Feedback Aspiration Syringe plunger rod contains features which provide audible and tactile feedback when the plunger is advanced or retracted, and a finger ring for ease of use and handling the device. The predicate device has a flat push-button on the end of its plunger rod. The mechanism for delivery of fluid is the same for both the subject device and predicate devices.

Sterilization Method

The ANUTRA Feedback Aspiration Syringe is sterilized using gamma irradiation. The predicate device can be sterilized by either gamma irradiation or ethylene oxide.

(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)
