Intended Use
The NovoPen Echo® is a re-useable pen injector designed for single patient use by diabetics for the self-injection of a desired dose of insulin. The pen injector uses PenFill® 3 mL cartridge of NovoLog®, 100 units/mL (U-100) [insulin aspart injection], Fiasp® 100 units/mL (U-100) [insulin aspart injection], and a single use detachable and disposable pen needle (supplied separately). The pen injector allows the user to dial the desired dose from 0.5 to 30 units in 0.5 unit increments.
Device Description
The NovoPen Echo® is a reusable mechanical pen-injector capable of injecting a dose of up to 30 units of insulin, in 0.5 unit increments, from a NovoLog 3 mL PenFill® cartridge. The memory function enables the user of the device to see the quantity of last given dose and hours that have passed since last dose. The operation of the pen-injection of insulin is entirely independent of the operation of the memory function. The intended dose is mechanically set by rotating a dose button. The insulin is injected by depressing the dose button which via mechanical coupling causes the piston in the insulin cartridge to move forward thereby expelling the intended dose. The device has a memory function and liquid crystal display that allows the user to review the units of the last dose and the number of hours that have elapsed since the last dose was taken. Rotation of the dose button during dose setting causes a sensor to rotate within a coded cylinder. The movement detected by this sensor is stored for later display on the liquid crystal display in the dosage selector module as the number of units injected.

No
The device description details a mechanical pen injector with a memory function for tracking the last dose and time elapsed. There is no mention of AI or ML in the description of its operation or features.

No.
The device is an insulin pen injector, which is used to administer medication (insulin), but it does not directly provide therapy itself. It is a drug delivery device.

No

The device is an insulin pen injector designed for self-administration of insulin, not for diagnosing a medical condition. While it has a memory function for tracking the last dose and time elapsed, this information aids in insulin management rather than diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly details a physical pen injector with mechanical components for insulin delivery and a memory function with a liquid crystal display. It is not solely software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • NovoPen Echo Function: The NovoPen Echo is a device used to deliver a substance (insulin) into the body. It does not analyze any biological samples or provide diagnostic information based on those samples. Its function is purely mechanical delivery and dose tracking.

The description clearly states its purpose is for the "self-injection of a desired dose of insulin" and describes the mechanical process of setting and injecting the dose. The memory function tracks dose history, but this is for patient information and adherence, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Summary of Performance Studies

Device Verification Tests confirm that the NovoPen Echo meets the requirements of ISO11608-1 Needle-based injection systems for medical use - Requirement and test methods - Part 1: Needle based injection systems.

Novo Nordisk proposes to expand the currently approved intended use for NovoPen Echo to include the use of Fiasp® (insulin aspart injection) 3mL PenFill® cartridges. Therefore, the dose accuracy performance test of the Fiasp® (insulin aspart injection) 3 mL PenFill® cartridges with NovoPen Echo® was performed which meets the requirements of ISO11608-1:2014.

No clinical testing was provided or required.

Device Description

The NovoPen Echo® is a reusable mechanical pen-injector capable of injecting a dose of up to 30 units of insulin, in 0.5 unit increments, from a NovoLog 3 mL PenFill® cartridge. The memory function enables the user of the device to see the quantity of last given dose and hours that have passed since last dose. The operation of the pen-injection of insulin is entirely independent of the operation of the memory function. The intended dose is mechanically set by rotating a dose button. The insulin is injected by depressing the dose button which via mechanical coupling causes the piston in the insulin cartridge to move forward thereby expelling the intended dose. The device has a memory function and liquid crystal display that allows the user to review the units of the last dose and the number of hours that have elapsed since the last dose was taken. Rotation of the dose button during dose setting causes a sensor to rotate within a coded cylinder. The movement detected by this sensor is stored for later display on the liquid

crystal display in the dosage selector module as the number of units injected. The NovoPen Echo® is substantially equivalent to NovoPen Echo® cleared under K162602.

Intended Use

The Intended Use including Indication for Use for the proposed device is as follows: The NovoPen Echo® is a re-useable pen injector designed for single patient use by diabetics for the self-injection of a desired dose of insulin. The pen injector uses PenFill® 3 mL cartridge of NovoLog®, 100 units/mL (U-100) [insulin aspart injection], Fiasp® 100 units/mL (U-100) [insulin aspart injection], and a single use detachable and disposable pen needle (supplied separately). The pen injector allows the user to dial the desired dose from 0.5 to 30 units in 0.5 unit increments.

Substantial Equivalence Discussion

The NovoPen Echo® is substantially equivalent to NovoPen Echo® cleared under K162602 on October 18, 2016.

There are no changes made to the NovoPen Echo® device from the previously cleared NovoPen Echo® (K162602). Intended use, user, and user environment of the NovoPen Echo® are the same for NovoLog® and Fiasp® 3 mL PenFill. Therefore, based on the dose accuracy data with Fiasp® the addition of Fiasp® 3 mL PenFill is not expected to impact the safe and effective use of the NovoPen Echo®. The proposed NovoPen Echo® is substantially equivalent to NovoPen Echo® cleared under K162602.

Discussion of Differences

The purpose for submitting this Traditional 510(k) is to obtain marketing clearance for NovoPen Echo expand the currently approved intended use to include Fiasp® (insulin aspart injection) 3mL PenFill® cartridges.

There have been no changes in the principle of operation, materials, energy source and performance compared with the predicate devices.

Performance Testing

Device Verification Tests confirm that the NovoPen Echo meets the requirements of ISO11608-1 Needle-based injection systems for medical use - Requirement and test methods - Part 1: Needle based injection systems.

Novo Nordisk proposes to expand the currently approved intended use for NovoPen Echo to include the use of Fiasp® (insulin aspart injection) 3mL PenFill® cartridges. Therefore, the dose accuracy performance test of the Fiasp® (insulin aspart injection) 3 mL PenFill® cartridges with NovoPen Echo® was performed which meets the requirements of ISO11608-1:2014.

Shelf Life

The NovoPen Echo® has an in-use lifetime of 5 years provided that the pen is taken into use within two years of the production date. The NovoPen Echo® informs the user via the memory display when the pen has reached its end of life.

Clinical Tests

No clinical testing was provided or required.

Conclusions

In conclusion, the results of the testing demonstrate that NovoPen Echo® performs as well as the predicate device.

The results of the testing to standards provide additional evidence that NovoPen Echo® is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, NovoPen Echo®. The differences between NovoPen Echo® and the predicate device do not raise any new performance issues. The differences between NovoPen Echo® and the predicate device do not change the intended use of the product.
