The pen needles are intended for use with pen injector devices for subcutaneous injection of fluids, including insulin and exenatide.
All of the subject device pen needles are sterile, non-pyrogenic, single use needles designed to be used with commercially available pen-injectors for the administration of prescribed fluids. Each needle is individually packaged in a sealed protective container with a peel tab. The subject device pen needles are used by peeling back the peel tab. The hub of the currently marketed Clickfine Pen Needle is snapping or screwing onto the threaded end of the pen injector. The modified Penfine Classic Pen Needle is attached to pen injectors with only a "screwing" motion. For all needles the back end of the cannula punctures the rubber injection port of the drug reservoir in the pen-injector. The outer protective cap is then removed. The inner protective cap will remain over the needle until the fluid is ready to be injected. When the injection is needed, the inner protective cap is removed and the needle is inserted into the chosen site. The pen-injector automatically delivers the fluid through the needle. The protective cap is replaced and the needle is then unscrewed for the pen injector, discarded and replaced with a new needle before the next injection.
This FDA 510(k) summary describes the "Clickfine Pen Needle" and "Penfine Classic Pen Needle" by Ypsomed AG. The document details the device's intended use and demonstrates its substantial equivalence to a predicate device.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not explicitly state the sample sizes used for each specific test or the data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective). It generally states that "appropriate verification and/or validation activities" were performed.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
This type of information is not relevant or applicable for the device described (hypodermic single lumen needles). The performance is assessed against engineering and material standards, not against expert interpretation of clinical data.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable, as the tests are objective measurements against established engineering and material standards, not subjective interpretations requiring adjudication.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done
No. This type of study is not relevant for a medical device like a pen needle, which is evaluated based on its physical and functional properties against technical standards. MRMC studies are typically used for diagnostic devices that involve human interpretation of images or other data.
6. If a Standalone Study (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done
Yes, in essence. The studies performed were "standalone" in the sense that they evaluated the device itself against established engineering and material standards. There is no "algorithm" or "human-in-the-loop" aspect for a hypodermic needle's performance. The tests described are laboratory-based assessments of the physical and mechanical properties of the needles.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth for this device is based on established international engineering and material standards (ISO 11608-2, ISO 9626/A1, ISO 7864). These standards define objective, measurable criteria for the performance, dimensions, and material properties of hypodermic needles.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. This device is not an AI/ML-based system that requires "training data." Its performance is evaluated through physical tests and measurements.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable, as there is no "training set" for this type of device.

8.5 Predicate Device: K131125 Clickfine Pen Needles
- Purpose of Submission: To add a second product line of needles (Penfine Classic Pen 8.6 Needles) that are attached to pens by using only a "classic" screwing or twisting action in addition to the existing Clickfine Pen Needle line that can also be "clicked" or "snapped" onto the pen. The submission also includes other minor changes to both product lines, including the addition of needle point geometry with 6-bevels (in addition to the existing 3-bevel geometry), changes to the needle hub, labeling and sterilization cycle.
{4}------------------------------------------------
8.7 Device Description
All of the subject device pen needles are sterile, non-pyrogenic, single use needles designed to be used with commercially available pen-injectors for the administration of prescribed fluids. Each needle is individually packaged in a sealed protective container with a peel tab. The subject device pen needles are used by peeling back the peel tab. The hub of the currently marketed Clickfine Pen Needle is snapping or screwing onto the threaded end of the pen injector. The modified Penfine Classic Pen Needle is attached to pen injectors with only a "screwing" motion. For all needles the back end of the cannula punctures the rubber injection port of the drug reservoir in the pen-injector. The outer protective cap is then removed. The inner protective cap will remain over the needle until the fluid is ready to be injected. When the injection is needed, the inner protective cap is removed and the needle is inserted into the chosen site. The pen-injector automatically delivers the fluid through the needle. The protective cap is replaced and the needle is then unscrewed for the pen injector, discarded and replaced with a new needle before the next injection.
- 8.8 Intended Use
The intended use of the modified device remains the same as the predicate device -Clickfine Pen Needles (K131125):
The pen needles are intended for use with pen injector devices for subcutaneous injection of fluids, including insulin and exenatide.
- 8.9 Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence Discussion The technological characteristics have not changed. All of the materials, processes and operating principles of the modified needles are identical to the currently marketed needles. The Penfine Classic Pen Needle has a modified interface to only allow attachment to compatible cartridge holders through a twisting or screwing motion, while the current device can be snapped, or "clicked" onto the cartridge holder. The only other change is a different grinding of the needle point to produce six, rather than three surfaces. Otherwise the needles have the same design and intended use as the currently marketed product and are compatible with the same injection pens. As such, the subject needles are substantially equivalent to the predicate Clickfine Pen Needles (K131125).
8.10 Performance Data
As part of the Design Control Activities, Ypsomed evaluated the potential risks, hazards or hazardous situations, potential clinical impact on the patient, identified the appropriate risk control measure and acceptability criteria associated with each change in the modified devices. Then, each risk was mitigated through appropriate verification and/or validation activities which were determined to be the testing specified in the following international and internal standards and protocols. This testing confirmed that the subject devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
All Subject Device Pen Needles have met the requirements of the relevant sections of the following standards:
- . ISO 11608-2:2012 Needle based injection systems for medical use -
