Intended Use

The safety pen needle is intended for use with pen injector devices for subcutaneous injection of fluids and FDA-approved drugs.

HE Model: Additionally, the attached safety shield automatically locks in place and reduces the occurrence of accidental needle sticks from the patient end of the needle. The shield also serves to hide the needle before and after injection.

HS Model: Additionally, the product has two safety shields, which lock in place after use (patient end) and upon removal of the needle from the pen (pen connection end). The locked shields help reduce the occurrence of needle sticks from both ends of the needle.

Device Description

The proposed device, Safety Pen Needle, is a sterile, non-pyrogenic, single-use device, which is intended for use with pen injector devices for subcutaneous injection of fluids and FDA-approved drugs. It incorporates a sharps injury prevention feature, which can reduce the occurrence of accidental needle sticks.

The proposed device is provided with two models, i.e. HE Model and HS Model. HE Model has an attached safety shield, which can automatically lock in place and reduce the occurrence of accidental needle sticks from the patient end of the needle. The shield also serves to hide the needle before and after injection. HS Model has two safety shields, which lock in place after use (patient end) and upon removal of the needle from the pen (pen connection-end). The locked shields help reduce the occurrence of accidental needle sticks from both ends of the needle.

Both of HE Model and HS Model contain main body, needle tube, front shield, rear shield, big spring, turning tube, container (outer cap) and peel tab (sealing paper). Both ends of the needle tube (i.e. the patient end and the pen connection end) is lubricated by silicone oil. The needle tube and the needle hub are bonded by glue. The container sealed with the peel tab constitutes the sterile barrier system. The common components of both models are almost the same in materials and structure and size, and the only difference is the structure of the rear shield. The biggest difference between the two models is that HS Model contains a small spring additionally and has a relatively more complex structure.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (Safety Pen Needle). It describes the device, its intended use, comparison to a predicate device, and non-clinical testing conducted to demonstrate substantial equivalence.

However, the text does not contain the detailed information required to answer the specific questions about acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets those criteria, particularly for a software-based AI/ML device. The document pertains to a physical medical device (pen needle) and relies on standard performance testing and simulated clinical use for safety features, not AI/ML performance metrics.

Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information regarding:

  • A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance (for AI/ML metrics like sensitivity, specificity, AUC). The document lists "Requirements" (standards) and "Results" (Pass/Fail) for various physical and biological tests, but these are not the AI/ML performance metrics you asked for.
  • Sample size used for the test set and data provenance (for AI/ML). The document mentions 500 subject devices for a "simulated clinical use study" of the safety feature, but this is not an AI/ML test set.
  • Number of experts used to establish ground truth and their qualifications. This is not relevant to a physical pen needle's mechanical testing.
  • Adjudication method for the test set. Not relevant.
  • If a multi-reader, multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done. Not relevant, as this is for a physical device, not an AI assisting human readers.
  • If a standalone (algorithm only) performance study was done. Not relevant.
  • The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.). The "ground truth" for the physical device's safety feature was a lack of needle-stick injuries and protective feature failure in a simulated environment.
  • The sample size for the training set. Not applicable for a physical device.
  • How the ground truth for the training set was established. Not applicable.

In summary, the provided document describes the regulatory submission for a physical medical device and does not contain the information requested about the acceptance criteria and study for an AI/ML powered device.

4. Device Description

The proposed device, Safety Pen Needle, is a sterile, non-pyrogenic, single-use device, which is intended for use with pen injector devices for subcutaneous injection of fluids and FDA-approved drugs. It incorporates a sharps injury prevention feature, which can reduce the occurrence of accidental needle sticks.

The proposed device is provided with two models, i.e. HE Model and HS Model. HE Model has an attached safety shield, which can automatically lock in place and reduce the occurrence of accidental needle sticks from the patient end of the needle. The shield also serves to hide the needle before and after injection. HS Model has two safety shields, which lock in place after use (patient end) and upon removal of the needle from the pen (pen connection-end). The locked shields help reduce the occurrence of accidental needle sticks from both ends of the needle.

Both of HE Model and HS Model contain main body, needle tube, front shield, rear shield, big spring, turning tube, container (outer cap) and peel tab (sealing paper). Both ends of the needle

tube (i.e. the patient end and the pen connection end) is lubricated by silicone oil. The needle tube and the needle hub are bonded by glue. The container sealed with the peel tab constitutes the sterile barrier system. The common components of both models are almost the same in materials and structure and size, and the only difference is the structure of the rear shield. The biggest difference between the two models is that HS Model contains a small spring additionally and has a relatively more complex structure.

The specifications for each model are designated by the gauge of needle tube and needle available length. Both models have the same specifications (shown in the following table).

Safety Pen Needle is used by peeling back the peel tab and screwing the needle hub onto the threaded end of the pen injector. The pen connection end of the needle tube punctures the septum of the cartridge in the pen injector. The outer protective container is then removed. When the injection is needed, the needle is vertically inserted into the chosen site. While inserting the skin, the front shield moves backward into the main body enabling the needle to penetrate the skin and the subcutaneous tissue, and the safety mechanism is activated. Then, the pen injector delivers the medicinal product through the needle.

After the injection, Safety Pen Needle is withdrawn from the skin. The big spring pushes the front shield to move forward until the front shield reaches its limit position where the red band indicator on the front shield appears outside the main body and can be seen. At this time, the front shield completely covers the needle tip at the patient end and is locked in place, and Safety Pen Needle enters the patient-end protection state and it can no longer be used.

Additionally, for HS Model, when Safety Pen Needle is screwed off, the small spring pushes the rear shield to move towards the pen connection end until the rear shield reaches its limit position. At this time, the rear shield completely covers the needle tip at the pen connection end and is locked, and Safety Pen Needle enters the pen-connection-end protection state.

The proposed device is sterilized by Gamma irradiation to achieve a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10-6.

Product: Safety Pen Needle

lssue 1:

Both of the proposed devices and the predicate device are intended for subcutaneous injection.

HS Model of the proposed device incorporates an additional safety shield compared with the predicated device such that HS Model has two safety shields lock in place: (1) 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 indication for use describes this additional safety shield. Both of the proposed devices and the predicate device help protect against accidental needle sticks.

lssue 2:

Compared with the predicate device, the proposed device has two additional needle gauges of 32G and 33G and two additional needle lengths of 4mm and 5mm. The difference in needle gauge and length does not impact safety or performance and raises no new questions of safety and performance. The subject device and predicate are both intended for subcutaneous injection. In this case, the difference is still intended for subcutaneous tissue, which is the same tissue as the predicate. The additional needle gauge and length are being introduced to meet individual needs of patients based on their skin type, BMI, and drug dosing and treatments.

lssue 3:

The predicate device is snapped firstly and then screwed onto the threaded end of the pen injector, while the proposed device is screwed onto the threaded end of the pen injector. Eventually, both devices are secured on the pen injector by the fit between threads. Moreover, the performance testing of the proposed device has demonstrated that the "Twist-on" attachment can meet the requirements in the compatibility with needle-based injection system test. Therefore, the difference on the method of attachment to pen doesn't affect the substantial equivalence.

lssue 4:

The difference on the configuration between the proposed device and the predicate device mainly results from the different safety mechanisms. The differences do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.

7. Non-clinical Testing

All non-clinical testing performed on the proposed device is to demonstrate the substantial equivalence to the predicate device. Tests are performed in accordance with the applicable standards. Results of the testing demonstrate the compliance with the standards.

  • The following performance data is provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.
