Intended Use

Jeesung safety syringe and single use needles is a sterile, single-use, disposable and non-reusable, manual retractable safety syringe intended for injection of fluids into the body, while reducing the risk of sharps injuries and the potential for syringe reuse.

Device Description

Jeesung Safety Syringe and Single Use Needles is an integrated needle and piston syringe with an anti-needle-stick mechanism. There is a swell on the top of inside barrel, which can be used to fix the hub of needle to the top of inside barrel. Four legs on the bottom of hub are caught on the swell part on the top of inside barrel when the hub is pulled. After using this syringe (such as injecting medicine into body etc.), the hub of needle is pulled back to the inside of the barrel. Because the four legs of hub is bound to the top of the plunger which has a smaller swell part than the top of inside barrel for being caught. Therefore, by pushing plunger until it makes a binding sound, the hub can follow with the plunger is broken off and the needle cannot be come out of the barrel. This renders the needle unusable and safe from accidental needle sticks. Jeesung Safety Syringe and Single Use Needles has syringe capacity of 3cc attached with 18-30 gauge and the length of the needle (8mm, 10mm, 13mm, 19mm, 25mm, 32mm, 38mm).

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

  • Stimulated Clinical Use Testing: The sample size for this test was 500 subject devices.
  • Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin for the data or whether it was retrospective or prospective. It implies the tests were conducted by the manufacturer as part of the 510(k) submission.

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

This information is not provided in the document. The tests described (biocompatibility, physical performance, simulated clinical use) are objective engineering and laboratory tests, not typically requiring expert ground truth establishment in the same way an AI diagnostic device would.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

This information is not applicable for the reported tests. The tests are based on objective measurements and predefined pass/fail criteria from international standards (ISO, USP).

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

No, a multi-reader, multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is relevant for AI-powered diagnostic devices involving human interpretation, which is not the case for this mechanical safety syringe.

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

Not Applicable. This device is a mechanical safety syringe, not an algorithm. The "Stimulated Clinical Use Testing" can be considered a standalone performance test for the device's safety mechanism without human-in-the-loop assessment in the context of an AI algorithm. Its purpose was to verify the function of the safety feature itself.

7. The type of ground truth used

The "ground truth" for the various tests relies on established and internationally recognized standards and specifications for medical devices.

  • Biocompatibility: Standards like ISO10993 (Cytotoxicity, Hemolysis, Systemic Toxicity, Skin Sensitization, Intracutaneous Reactivity) and USP (Pyrogen Test) and USP (Particulate Matters). The "ground truth" is that the device must meet the defined biological safety limits and particulate levels set by these standards.
  • Syringe and Needle Performance: Standards like ISO7886-1 and ISO7864 define the performance characteristics, dimensional tolerances, and structural integrity required for syringes and needles. The "ground truth" is adherence to these engineering specifications.
  • Stimulated Clinical Use Testing: The ground truth for this specific test was zero failure of the protective feature, meaning the safety mechanism must activate correctly every time as observed in the simulation.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not Applicable. This is a mechanical device, not an AI model, so there is no "training set."

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

Not Applicable. As there is no AI model, there is no training set or ground truth for a training set.

§ 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).
