No

Explanation: This device is a needle intended for use with pen injector devices to administer substances like insulin. It is an accessory to a therapeutic process but is not therapeutic itself.

No

The device is a needle intended for subcutaneous injection of medication using a pen injector. It is used for administering treatment, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical needle intended for subcutaneous injection, which is a hardware component. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component of the device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the subcutaneous injection of various medications (insulin, liraglutide, semaglutide, and somatropin) using pen injector devices. This is a direct administration of a substance into the body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a needle designed for injection, not for collecting or analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Testing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions.

The device is clearly intended for drug delivery, which falls under a different regulatory category than in vitro diagnostics.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The NovoFine 32G Tip 6mm ETW needle was tested for compatibility with semaglutide injector (Ozempic) per ISO 11608-2.

The purpose of this Design Verification Test report is to verify the functional compatibility between NovoFine® and DV3326 PDS290 semaglutide pen-injector variants according to clause 11 in ISO 11608-2:2012 (1). Compatibility testing according to clause 11 in ISO 11608-2:2012 (1) is covered by specified torque values for assembly, determination of dose accuracy and specified torque value for removal.

The scope of testing for the NovoFine® Portfolio included:

  • 30G (0.30) x 8mm
  • 31G (0.25) x 6mm
  • 32G (0.23/0.25) x 6mm
  • 32G (0.23/0.25) x 4mm

And for the DV3326 PDS290 semaglutide pen-injector:

  • Variant 1: 0.25 mg/0.5 mg/1.0 mg
  • Variant 2: 1.0 mg
  • Variant 3: 0.25 mg/0.5 mg
  • Variant 4: 1.0 mg. 3 ml

The compatibility testing was performed with NovoFine® 32G (0.23/0.25) x 6mm and DV3326 PDS290 semaglutide pen-injector variant 1 and variant 3. The 32G x 6mm needle was considered representative for the entire NovoFine® Portfolio due to no difference in the pen-injector interface and being the worst-case needle for flow resistance. Compatibility testing for variant 2 and variant 4 was covered by the results of variant 1 due to identical maximum dose stop, hub design, and assessment that cartridge size/scale drum differences would not influence compatibility.

Materials used:

  • NovoFine® 32G (0.23/025 mm) x 6mm batch 16F16S
  • DV3326 PDS290 semaglutide pen-injector variant 1 (0.25 mg/0.5 mg/1.0 mg) batch GV40055
  • DV3326 PDS290 semaglutide pen-injector variant 3 (0.25 mg/0.5 mg) batch GV40037

120 pen needles (60 for low dose and 60 for high dose) were tested for each pen-injector variant. No rejections occurred regarding the stated parameters and tolerances for assembly torque, dose accuracy, and removal torque.

Key result: It is concluded that NovoFine® is functional compatible with DV3326 PDS290 semaglutide pen-injector variants in accordance with clause 11 in ISO 11608-2:2012 (1).

Summarv

The purpose of this Design Verification Test report is to verify the functional compatibility between NovoFine® and DV3326 PDS290 semaglutide pen-injector variants according to clause 11 in ISO 11608-2:2012 (1). Compatibility testing according to clause 11 in ISO 11608-2:2012 (1) is covered by specified torque values for assembly, determination of dose accuracy and specified torque value for removal. This verification report documents tests performed according to the DVT protocol of compatibility of the DV3326 PDS290 semaglutide and NovoFine® (2).

The scope is:

  • NovoFine® Portfolio: .
  • 30G (0.30) x 8mm .
  • 31G (0.25) x 6mm .
  • . 32G (0.23/0.25) x 6mm
  • 32G (0.23/0.25) x 4mm .
  • All four variants of the DV3326 PDS290 semaglutide pen-injector: .
  • . Variant 1: 0.25 mg/0.5 mg/1.0 mg
  • Variant 2: 1.0 mg .
  • . Variant 3: 0.25 mg/0.5 mg
  • Variant 4: 1.0 mg. 3 ml .

The compatibility testing was performed with NovoFine® 32G (0.23/0.25) x 6mm and DV3326 PDS290 semaglutide pen-injector variant 1 and variant 3.

The NovoFine® 32G (0.23/025 mm) x 6mm is representative for the NovoFine® Portfolio based on the following:

  • There is no difference in the pen-injector interface of the pen needle (needle thread and the length of the back end needle) for all NovoFine® needle variants.
  • Flow resistance is proportional with the length of the needle and inverse proportional with the inner diameter of the needle: hence in regard to dose accuracy. NovoFine® 32Gx6 mm is considered the worst case needle and selected for test of compatibility.

Demonstrated compatibility between NovoFine® 32G (0.23/0.25 mm) x 6mm and the identified DV3326 PDS290 semaglutide pen-injector applies for the entire NovoFine® Portfolio.

The compatibility testing for variant 2 and variant 4 are covered by the test results from variant 1. The rationales of the compatibility test results for variant 2 and variant 4 are that all variants 1, 2 and 4:

9

  • have identical maximum dose stop at 74 increments (corresponding to 0.740 ml and 1.0 mg . semaglutide) and therefore these variants are assessed to have identical high dose volume for the dose accuracy test
  • . have identical needle interface hub design on the cartridge holder and therefore these variants are assessed to have identical hub assembly and removal characteristics and properties

The differences among variant 1. 2 and 4 are limited to cartidge size (1.5 ml versus 3 ml) and the scale drum imprints. Variant 2 and 4 do not have low dose volume due to that variant 2 and 4 are fixed dose device. These differences are assessed to have no influence on the compatibility test results. Therefore, variant 1 compatibility test results are considered sufficient to cover variant 2 and variant 4.

Following materials were used for the compatibility verification: NovoFine® 32G (0.23/025 mm) x 6mm batch 16F16S

DV3326 PDS290 semaglutide pen-injector variant 1 (0.25 mg/0.5 mg/1.0 mg) batch GV40055 DV3326 PDS290 semaglutide pen-injector variant 3 (0.25 mg/0.5 mg) batch GV40037

120 pen needles (60 pen needles subsequent to low dose and 60 pen needles subsequent to high dose) were tested for each pen-injector variant and no rejections occurred in regard to the stated parameters and tolerances for assembly torque, dose accuracy and removal torque.

It is concluded that NovoFine® is functional compatible with DV3326 PDS290 semaglutide peninjector variants in accordance with clause 11 in ISO 11608-2:2012 (1).

(9) Clinical Tests Performed:

No clinical tests are required.

(10) Conclusion drawn from the non-clinical and clinical tests:

Based on the design equivalency and the functional testing, the NovoFine® 32 G Tip 6 mm ETW is substantially equivalent to NovoFine® 32G Tip 6 mm ETW cleared under K062500 and K090111 which is currently marketed in the United States. The only modification to the predicate device was to include an additional drug name in the intended use.
