Intended Use
The LeEject 2 Syringe and Needle System is indicated to be used in conjunction with LeEject Needles and anesthetic cartridges for injection of anesthetic solutions in the oral cavity.
Device Description
The LeEject 2 Syringe and Needle System is a side-loading dental syringe with a plastic guard "Safeguard" to secure the needle. After inserting the LeEject Needle hub into the opening of the plastic Safeguard, rotating the "Safeguard" guard clockwise secures the dental needle. The system gives the user the option of recapping the dental needle prior to disposal or unlocking the "Safeguard" and allowing the needle to fall into the sharps container without recapping. The LeEject 2 Syringe's main body is shaped like a standard syringe, apart from having a tapered end with a plastic "safeguard" attached, but has no threads on the tip to screw on the needle. The LeEject 2 Syringe is mostly made of chrome plated brass with the exception of the harpoon and piston rod, which is made of stainless steel. The LeEject 2 Syringe is sold non-sterile, uses a standard 1.8mL anesthetic cartridge. The LeEject needles are EO sterilized, single use and sold separately. Only the LeEject Needle can be used with the LeEject 2 Syringe.

A therapeutic device is one that treats or heals a medical condition. This device is used to inject anesthetic, which facilitates a medical procedure, but does not directly treat a condition itself.

No

The device is used for injecting anesthetic solutions, which is a treatment, not for diagnosing a condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical syringe and needle system made of materials like chrome plated brass and stainless steel, indicating it is a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, the LeEject 2 Syringe and Needle System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "injection of anesthetic solutions in the oral cavity." This is a procedure performed on a patient, not a test performed on a sample taken from a patient.
  • Device Description: The device is a syringe and needle system designed for delivering substances into the body. This is characteristic of a medical device used for treatment or diagnosis in vivo, not for testing in vitro.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or to provide information about a patient's health status based on such analysis.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The LeEject 2 Syringe and Needle System does not fit this description.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION

Image /page/3/Figure/9 description: This image shows a close-up of a medical device, possibly a needle or injection pen, with a safeguard mechanism. The diagram illustrates how to lock and unlock the safeguard by rotating it in the direction of the arrows. The text labels "LOCK", "UNLOCK", and "SAFEGUARD" are included to provide clear instructions on how to use the device.

The LeEject 2 Syringe and Needle System is a side-loading dental syringe with a plastic guard "Safeguard" to secure the needle. After inserting the LeEject Needle hub into the opening of the plastic Safeguard, rotating the "Safeguard" guard clockwise secures the dental needle.

Image /page/3/Picture/11 description: In the image, a pair of tweezers is being used to pick up a needle. The needle is inside of a container. The tweezers are being held by a hand. The image is a black and white drawing.

The LeEject 2 Syringe and Needle System give the user the option of recapping the dental needle prior to disposal or unlocking the "Safeguard" and allowing the needle to fall into the sharps container without recapping.

The LeEject 2 Syringe's main body is shaped like a standard syringe, apart from having a tapered end with a plastic "safeguard" attached, but has no threads on the tip to screw on the needle. The LeEject 2 Syringe is mostly made of chrome plated brass with the exception of the harpoon and piston rod, which is made of stainless steel.

The LeEject 2 Syringe is sold non-sterile, uses a standard 1.8mL anesthetic cartridge. The LeEject needles are EO sterilized, single use and sold separately.

Only the LeEject Needle can be used with the LeEject 2 Syringe.

Similarities and Differences 12.1

The LeEject 2 Syringe has equivalent Indications for Use, Intended Use, and material choice for the syringe as the predicate dental syringe. In addition, the LeEject 2 Syringe has a plastic Safeguard which is made of mineral reinforced nylon resin. Both are sold non-sterile with validated cleaning and sterilization methods.

7

The LeEject Needle has equivalent indications for use, intended use, materials, needle style, and is EO sterilized as the predicate.

The technological characteristics are substantially similar. The differences between the new device and the predicate device are:

  • . The new device has a different tip design which allows side loading of the needle onto the LeEject 2 Syringe versus the predicate's traditional screw-on tip. The LeEject dental needle, once inserted into the side opening of the syringe, is secured by our "safeguard" versus screwing the needle to the syringe. Both systems provide a secured attachment of the dental needle to the dental syringe and are substantially equivalent.
  • . The LeEject 2 Syringe and Needle System gives the user the option of recapping the dental needle or unlocking the "Safeguard" and allow the needle to fall into the sharps container without recapping. The predicate device requires recapping and unscrewing of the dental needle prior to disposal into a sharps container. Both dental syringes allow for recapping prior to disposal and are substantially equivalent.

These differences raise no new questions concerning safety or effectiveness. The LeEject 2 Syringe and Needle System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

CONCLUSION

The LeEject 2 Syringe and Needle System meets the functional claims and intended use as described in the product labeling. The proposed device, the LeEject 2 Syringe and Needle System is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices, Miltex Dental Aspirating Syringe and Biodent dental needles.
