The device is indicated for local administration, and regional administration, specifically, wound infiltrations, peripheral nerve block, and epidural block. The device is not indicated for subarachnoid/spinal blocks.
The proposed device is a disposable neuraxial syringe consist of three components: piston, plunger and barrel; and provided in a variety of volumes: 1ml, 3ml, 6ml, 10ml, 30ml, 35ml, 50ml, 30ml and 60 ml. The barrel of the syringe is printed with graduated markings indicating the volume of liquid inside the barrel.
The proposed device is used to inject anesthesia medicine with the cooperation of the spinal anesthesia needles and epidural anesthesia needles which has an NRFit connectors in compliance with ISO 80369-6. The NRFit tip could help to reduce the residual risk of misconnections.
The proposed device is provided in two statuses: sterile. The non-sterile NRFit syringe is intended to be sterilized prior to use to repackagers/medical device manufacturers, and the sterile NRFit syringe is supplied to the end user. The sterilized product is sterilized by Ethylene Oxide Gas to achieve a SAL of 10th and supplied sterility maintenance package which could maintain the sterility of the device during the shelf life of five years.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not explicitly state the sample size used for each individual test. It indicates that "Non-clinical tests were conducted to verify that the proposed device met all design specifications" and that the "test results demonstrated that the proposed device complies with the following standards." The provenance of the data (country of origin, retrospective or prospective) is not specified, but the submission is from Jiangsu Caina Medical Co., Ltd in China, suggesting the tests were likely conducted by or for them.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
Not applicable. The ground truth for these non-clinical tests is established by the specifications of the referenced ISO and ASTM standards, not by expert consensus from medical professionals.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. The tests are objective measurements against established standard requirements, not subjective assessments requiring adjudication.
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
Not applicable. This is a medical device (syringe) and not an AI or diagnostic imaging device. Therefore, MRMC studies are not relevant.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
Not applicable. This is a medical device (syringe) and not an AI algorithm.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth used for the non-clinical tests is based on engineering and performance specifications defined within internationally recognized standards (ISO, ASTM, USP). This includes measurable physical properties and biological safety limits.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. There is no training set mentioned as this is not a machine learning or AI-based device.

Comparison summary
The differences between the proposed device and predicate device are the volume and sterilization status. The proposed device has a larger range of volumes than the predicate device. Both the proposed device and the predicate device comply with the relevant international stated in Section 8, which includes verification of attributes that could be impacted by syringe volume/barrel size. Therefore, the difference in syringe volume will not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. The proposed device is provided in two presentations: sterile. The non-sterile NRFit syringe is intended to be sterilized prior to use to repackagers/medical device manufacturers and the sterile NRFit syringe is supplied to the end user. The sterilized product is sterilized by Ethylene Oxide Gas to achieve a SAL of 106, which is the same as the predicate device. The non-sterile product is clearly labeled and validated cycle conditions for EO sterilization are provided to the repackagers/medical device manufacturers. Therefore, the differences will not affect the substantial equivalence between the proposed device and predicate device.
