The Female Luer Lock Cap is indicated for use as a cap for male Luer fittings on medical devices such as manifolds, stopcocks or IV sets.

Device Description

The Female Luer Lock Cap is an individually packaged, sterile, single use disposable product used to cover male Luer fittings. Luer fittings are commonly used on IV administration products and accessories to provide universal compatibility and are well established in the market. Luer lock fittings are securely joined by means of a tabbed hub on the female fitting which screws into threads in a sleeve on the male fitting. The Female Luer Lock Cap is an injection molded, polyethylene component. Polyethylene material is durable, biologically inert, gamma stable, and used extensively in the medical device industry. The product is terminally gamma sterilized to a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10-6.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the regulatory filing for a medical device called the "Female Luer Lock Cap" and details its equivalence to a predicate device. It is a 510(k) summary, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence rather than a new clinical trial for effectiveness. Therefore, the information typically requested for AI/ML device studies (such as MRMC studies, effect sizes, specific expert qualifications, or training set sizes) is not applicable or present in this document.

However, I can extract the acceptance criteria and a summary of the performance testing as requested for the substantial equivalence determination for this non-AI/ML medical device.

Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The acceptance criteria are derived from the international standards that the Female Luer Lock Cap is tested against. The document states that "Performance bench testing results meet acceptance criteria and verified the Female Luer Lock Cap meets applicable Industry Standard requirements for the design and functional performance, biocompatibility, sterilization and packaging, and demonstrates substantial equivalently to the predicate device."

Here's a table summarizing the tests, the standards they adhere to (which define the acceptance criteria), and the general reported outcome:

Additional Information (Not Applicable for this type of device/submission)

The following information is typically relevant for AI/ML device studies involving human interpretation and clinical data, which is not the case for this 510(k) submission of a physical luer lock cap.

  1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable. The "test set" here refers to physical samples of the device and packaging used for bench testing. The provenance of these physical samples (e.g., from which manufacturing batch) is not specified, nor is it typically required for this type of summary. Data provenance like "country of origin of data" or "retrospective/prospective" refers to clinical data, which was not used.
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. Ground truth for physical properties (like leakage, strength, or sterility) is established by adherence to physical test standards and instrumentation, not human expert consensus.
  3. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable, as there is no human interpretation or subjective assessment that would require adjudication.
  4. 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, as this is a physical medical device, not an AI-powered diagnostic/assistance tool.
  5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done: Not applicable.
  6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc): The ground truth for this device's performance is objective measurement based on established international and ASTM standards (e.g., ISO 594, ISO 80369-7, ISO 10993-1, ISO 11137, ASTM F1929, ASTM F88/F88M) for physical and biological properties.
  7. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. There is no AI/ML model being trained.
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

DESCRIPTION OF DEVICE:

The Female Luer Lock Cap is an individually packaged, sterile, single use disposable product used to cover male Luer fittings. Luer fittings are commonly used on IV administration products and accessories to provide universal compatibility and are well established in the market. Luer lock fittings are securely joined by means of a tabbed hub on the female fitting which screws into threads in a sleeve on the male fitting. The Female Luer Lock Cap is an injection molded, polyethylene component. Polyethylene material is durable, biologically inert, gamma stable, and used extensively in the medical device industry. The product is terminally gamma sterilized to a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10-6.

The Female Luer Lock Cap is not associated with any specific medical condition. The user group consists of those involved in pharmacy compounding, mainly pharmacy

{4}------------------------------------------------

technicians and pharmacists, as well as health care professionals. Covering Luer fittings helps reduce the risk of touch contamination and medication leakage.

The basis for the premarket notification is a new device that has not been marketed previously by MedSafety Solutions. The Indications for Use, the basic design and function for the subject device are equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device.

INDICATIONS FOR USE:

The Female Luer Lock Cap is indicated for use as a cap for male Luer fittings on medical devices such as manifolds, stopcocks or IV sets.

COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE:

The proposed device is substantially equivalent to Baxter Healthcare's current legally marketed device cleared under 510(k) premarket notification K101385 cleared June 22, 2010 given that the subject device has the same Indications for Use, basic design, and function as the predicate device.

The primary difference between the predicate device and the subject device is that the predicate has both male and female Luer connections whereas the subject device only has a male Luer lock connection.

The change in material from the predicate device from Polypropylene to Polyethylene does not raise new questions of safety or efficacy. Polypropylene and Polyethylene are both used extensively for medical products. Polyethylene was selected for the subject device because of its low moisture absorption, is biologically inert, gamma stable, is mechanically stable and the material's sustainability (i.e. recyclable). Performance testing of the subject device for the design and functional performance and biocompatibility assessment have demonstrated the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
