Intended Use

The SmartSite™ Bag is an empty container used for administration of intravenous solutions to the patient using an intravascular administration set. Medication transfer in and out of the container is done using aseptic technique.

Device Description

The SmartSite™ Bag is a single-use, empty IV container, which will be available in 100mL, 250mL, and 500mL product sizes. The SmartSite™ Bag is labeled as sterile fluid path, and contains both an add port and a spike port. The add port facilitates aseptic transfer of medication(s) into or out of the bag. The spike port contains a twist-off protective seal. Either the add port or the spike port can be connected to an intravenous (IV) administration set for medication delivery to the patient. The add port may be repeatedly accessed in accordance with the Directions for Use (DFU). The SmartSite™ Bag may be used for up to 24 hours after the initial access of the add port, consistent with prescribing information for the medications used.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the 510(k) submission for the SmartSite Bag, an empty IV container. It outlines the device's indications for use, comparison to a predicate device, and non-clinical tests conducted to demonstrate substantial equivalence. However, the document does NOT contain a formal "study" proving the device meets acceptance criteria in the sense of a clinical trial or a structured performance study with defined acceptance criteria and reported numerical performance measures like sensitivity, specificity, or accuracy for a diagnostic device.

Instead, the document details various engineering and biocompatibility tests designed to ensure the SmartSite Bag functions as intended and is safe for its stated use, thereby demonstrating equivalence to the predicate device. The acceptance criteria are implicitly met by passing these tests and standards.

Here's a breakdown of the information that is present, organized as requested where applicable, and noting where the requested information is not available in the given text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not present explicit acceptance criteria in a table format with corresponding numerical performance for the device for a specific clinical outcome.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
The document does not provide specific sample sizes for each test in a numerical format (e.g., "n=X bags"). It refers to "testing" performed. The data provenance is internal to Gilero, LLC as it refers to non-clinical laboratory testing. There is no mention of country of origin of data or whether it was retrospective or prospective in a clinical sense, as these are non-clinical engineering tests.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
This information is not applicable and not available in the document. The tests described are non-clinical, laboratory-based evaluations against established standards (e.g., ISO, USP), not assessments requiring expert "ground truth" establishment in a diagnostic context.

Substantial Equivalence Discussion:

The SmartSite™ Bag is substantially equivalent to the predicate Valmed s.r.l. Empty EVA Bag. The subject device and the predicate device have identical indications for use, and a similar intended use. Both devices are labeled as sterile fluid path, and are single-use devices. Any difference in materials between the two products has been evaluated through ISO 10993 testing, which demonstrates material safety.

Both the subject and predicate devices include add ports, which allow the user to fill the bag. Similarly, both the subject device and predicate device include a means for attaching an IV administration set for delivering medication to the patient. The two primary technological differences between the subject and predicate devices are the number of add ports and their function. The predicate device contains two add ports. The first add port is for initial bulk fill of the bag. Since this port is designed only to be used once, it is not disinfectable, and is sealed using an inviolable clamp. The second add port is used for additional fill or additions (e.g. a drug is added to the initial fill of saline diluent).

The subject device has only a single add port. Since this port is disinfectable, however, it can be safely used multiple times. The empty SmartSite™ Bag can be filled with diluent using the add port, disinfected, and then the same port used to add a drug for dilution.

The second technological difference also arises from the add port. Since the subject device add port is disinfectable, and is co-located with the spike port relative to the filled drug in the bag, it can be used to administer the drug using an IV set equipped with a ISO 594 compatible male Luer.

Although the SmartSite™ Bag contains minor differences in design when compared to the predicate device these differences do not change the intended use and do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.

Discussion of Non-clinical Tests:

The following non-clinical tests were conducted to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device.

Biocompatibility:

The SmartSite™ Bag. like the predicate device, was evaluated for biocompatibility appropriate to the contact characterization (type and duration), in accordance with the requirements of ISO 10993-1 Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process, and the FDA Guidance for Industry - Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, "Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process".

  • · ANSI/AAMI/ISO TIR 13004:2013 Sterilization of health care products -Radiation - Substantiation of selected sterilization dose: Method VDmaxSD

Performance Testing:

The SmartSite™ Bag is tested to verify compliance with relevant sections of:

  • · ISO 15747 (2018) Plastic containers for intravenous injections

Particulate Testing:

The SmartSite™ Bag was tested to demonstrate the product meets particulate requirements of USP <788>

Additional testing was conducted to demonstrate:

  • Maintenance of performance requirements after infusate exposure ●
  • Luer connection performance ●
  • Bag integrity (leakage)
  • Performance after simulated shipping
  • Shelf life ●
  • . SmartSite Microbial Ingress Testing

Conclusion

The information in this submission supports the safety and efficacy of the subject device for its intended use, and demonstrates substantial equivalence with the predicate device. The SmartSite"10 Bag differences in materials, technology and operation from the predicate device do not raise new questions about safety and effectiveness.
