Intended Use
These disposable sterile insulin pen needles are intended for subcutaneous injection of insulin in the treatment of diabetes.
Device Description
The Advocate Insulin Pen Needle consists of a polypropylene 'outer cap' enclosure. This polypropylene cap contains an opening at one end to allow the needle or cannula to exit. The other end of the outer cap is the 'hub' that can be connected to various pens. Contained within the outer cap is the cannula assembly made up of the stainless steel cannula that is contained within an 'inner cap' polypropylene shell that is located on top of the hub. Medical grade blister paper covers and seals the hub. The Advocate Insulin Pen Needles when sealed with the blister paper are EO sterilized and provide a sterile fluid path during use. The Advocate Insulin Pen Needles when connected to the pen injector, is intended for subcutaneous injection of insulin.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and material properties of a disposable insulin pen needle, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is described as an "insulin pen needle" intended for "subcutaneous injection of insulin in the treatment of diabetes," which directly indicates its use in therapy.

No

The device is an insulin pen needle used for injecting insulin, not for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components made of polypropylene and stainless steel, and the performance studies involve testing of these physical attributes (shelf life, sterilization, biocompatibility, mechanical testing). This is a hardware device, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "subcutaneous injection of insulin in the treatment of diabetes." This describes a device used to administer a substance into the body for therapeutic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details a needle and hub designed for connecting to an insulin pen and delivering insulin. This is consistent with a device used for drug delivery.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens from the body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. IVDs are used to perform tests in vitro (outside the body).

Therefore, this device is a medical device used for drug delivery, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 880.5570 Hypodermic single lumen needle.

(a)
Identification. A hypodermic single lumen needle is a device intended to inject fluids into, or withdraw fluids from, parts of the body below the surface of the skin. The device consists of a metal tube that is sharpened at one end and at the other end joined to a female connector (hub) designed to mate with a male connector (nozzle) of a piston syringe or an intravascular administration set.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Dear Matt Hedlund:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug. and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.

Conclusion: The technological characteristics of the Advocate Insulin Pen Needles are the same as the Predicate Device. The differences of certain pen sizes (33 G 4 mm; 29G 12mm) with the Predicate Device do not raise new questions of safety and/or effectiveness as these two pen sizes have the same intended use, material, design, sterilization, labeling, and performance testing as the Predicate Device.
