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.

Clinical Simulated Use EffectivenessPosterior safety protective mechanism of the Dual Safety Pen Needle is effective (zero failures).Evaluations resulted in zero failures of each of the Dual Safety Pen Needle.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Sample Size for Clinical Simulated Use Test Set: A total of 500 samples were tested.
  • Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin for the clinical study data. It implies an internal study ("internal protocol and test results") but no specific geographic location for the conduct of the test is mentioned. The study appears to be prospective as it involves the evaluation of the device by participants.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

  • Number of Experts: 8 participants were selected to evaluate the subject device.
  • Qualifications of Experts: These participants included endocrine doctors and nurses who provide training to patients in the use of pen needles for insulin injection. No specific years of experience are mentioned.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • The document describes a usability/simulated use study where participants evaluated the device. The "ground truth" here is the effectiveness of the safety mechanism as observed during use. The study reported "zero failures." This suggests a direct observation and categorical outcome (success/failure) rather than an adjudication process requiring multiple expert opinions on a subjective measure. Therefore, no formal adjudication method (like 2+1, 3+1) is described, as the outcome appears to be objectively observed during the simulated use.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

  • No, a MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. The document describes a usability/simulated use test for the safety mechanism and various bench tests for physical and biological properties. It does not mention a comparative effectiveness study involving human readers (or users) comparing performance with and without AI assistance, as AI is not a component of this device.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study

  • Not applicable. This device is a physical medical instrument (pen needle), not an AI algorithm. Therefore, a standalone algorithm performance study is not relevant.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

  • For the Clinical Simulated Use testing, the ground truth appears to be observed effectiveness/failure of the safety mechanism during actual handling by trained users. The outcome was "zero failures" across 500 samples, indicating the mechanism worked as intended.
  • For the Non-Clinical tests (e.g., sterilization, biocompatibility, product functionality, sharps injury protection, packaging), the ground truth is established by compliance with recognized international standards (ISO, ASTM, USP) and manufacturer's internal protocols, which are based on objective measurements and test methods defined by these standards.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Not applicable. This device is a physical medical instrument, not a machine learning model, so there is no "training set."

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

  • Not applicable. As there is no training set for a machine learning model, this question is not relevant.

Non Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions21 CFR 807.92(b)

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.

§ 880.5570 Hypodermic single lumen needle.

(a)
Identification. A hypodermic single lumen needle is a device intended to inject fluids into, or withdraw fluids from, parts of the body below the surface of the skin. The device consists of a metal tube that is sharpened at one end and at the other end joined to a female connector (hub) designed to mate with a male connector (nozzle) of a piston syringe or an intravascular administration set.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
