Intended Use
The Dual Safety Pen Needle is intended for use with pen injector devices for subcutaneous injection of insulin. The product has two safety shields which lock in place after use (patient-end) and upon removal of the needle from the pen (pen connector-end). The lock shields help reduce the occurrence of needle sticks from both ends of the needle.
Device Description
The device is a pen needle with shields at both the patient end and the pen connector end which are intended to reduce risk of needle stick before and after injections. The patient end mechanism shields the needle before and after an injection, and a second mechanism passively covers the pen connector needle following removal from the patient end shield indicates the needle has fully penetrated the skin. A second shield covers the pen connector needle when it is removed from the pen.

The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical safety features and biocompatibility, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device is a pen needle intended for the subcutaneous injection of insulin, acting as a delivery accessory rather than having a direct therapeutic effect itself. Its function is to facilitate the administration of a therapeutic substance (insulin).

No

The device is a pen needle used for subcutaneous injection of insulin, designed to reduce needle sticks. Its intended use and description focus on drug delivery and safety features, not on diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly indicates it is a physical pen needle with safety shields, not a software application. The performance studies focus on physical properties, biocompatibility, and sharps injury protection.

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 insulin using pen injector devices. This is a direct medical intervention on the patient, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose or monitor a condition.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical mechanism of the pen needle and its safety features for preventing needle sticks during injection and removal. This aligns with a device used for administering medication, not for diagnostic testing.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of a disease or condition.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical and safety aspects of the device (functionality, shelf life, biocompatibility, sharps injury protection, sterilization, packaging), not on diagnostic accuracy or performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, etc.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to provide information about a person's health. This pen needle is a delivery device for medication.

Dear John Beasley:

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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products.

Intended UseThe Dual Safety Pen
Needle is intended for
use with pen injector
devices for
subcutaneous injection
of insulin. The product
has two safety shields
which lock in place after
use (patient-end) and
upon removal of the
needle from the pen
(pen connector-end).
The lock shields help
reduce the occurrence
of needle sticks from
both ends of the
needle.The Safety Type Insulin
Pen Needle is intended
for use with pen injector
devices for
subcutaneous injection
of insulin. Additionally,
after withdrawal of the
Safety Type Insulin Pen
Needle from the body,
the attached needle
safety shield
automatically covers
the needle to minimize
the risk of accidental
needlestick.The safety pen needle products (subject
device and predicate device) help protect
against accidental needle sticks and are
substantially equivalent in their intended use.
Operating
PrincipleAs the user proceeds
with inserting the
needle into the skin the
shield will retract.
After the injection is
completed and needle
is removed from the
skin, the shield will
automatically extend to
cover the needle and
lock in place.
A click of the patient
end shield indicates the
needle has fully
penetrated the skin. A
second shield covers
the pen connector
needle when the needle
is removed from the
pen.
Once the Dual Safety
Pen Needle is in the
locked mode, it can no
longer be used.As the user proceeds
with inserting the
needle into the skin the
shield will retract.
After the injection is
completed and needle
is removed from the
skin, the shield will
automatically extend to
cover the needle and
lock in place.
This product features
an audible cue (a click)
when the injection is
complete.
Once the Safety Type
Insulin Pen Needle is in
the locked mode, it can
no longer be used.The safety pen needle products (subject
device and predicate device) use the same
operating principles: the use of lock shields
that help reduce the occurrence of needle
sticks.

The device is a pen needle with shields at both the patient end and the pen connector end which are intended to reduce risk of needle stick before and after injections. The patient end mechanism shields the needle before and after an injection, and a second mechanism passively covers the pen connector needle following removal from the patient end shield indicates the needle has fully penetrated the skin. A second shield covers the pen connector needle when it is removed from the pen.

Intended Use/Indications for Use

The Dual Safety Pen Needle is intended for use with pen injector devices for subcutaneous injection of insulin. The product has two safety shields which lock in place after use (patient-end) and upon removal of the needle from the pen (pen connector-end). The lock shields help reduce the occurrence of needle sticks from both ends of the needle.

Indications for Use Comparison

Promisemed adds an additional safety shield to the predicate device such that the subject device's two safety shields lock in place (i) after use (patient-end) and (ii) upon removal of the needle from the pen (pen connector-end). The lock shields help reduce the occurrence of needle sticks from both ends of the needle. This additional protection does not constitute a new intended use. However, the Indications For Use' has been revised to reflect the additional safety shield. Both safety pen needle products (the predicate device and the subject device) help protect against accidental needle sticks.

Technological Comparison

21 CFR 807.92(a)(6)

For both the subject and predicate devices, the non-patient (pen connector) ends of the cannula are visible prior to attachment to the pen injector. However, the predicate device is modified such that following removal of the subject device from the pen injector, its needle is shielded with a mechanism designed to reduce the occurrence of accidental needle stick injuries.
