The Intera Non-coring (Huber) Needles and Special Bolus Needles) and OR Prep Kit are indicated for use with the Intera implanted infusion pumps to administer infusate solutions.
Specifically,
-
the Refill Needles are indicated for emptying and refilling the reservoir of an Intera 3000 Hepatic Artery Infusion Pump or CODMAN® 3000 Series Pump;
-
the Special Bolus Needles are indicated for delivering bolus injections through an Intera 3000 Hepatic Artery Infusion Pump or CODMAN® 3000 Series Pump;
-
the OR Prep Kit is used to prepare the Intera 3000 Hepatic Artery Infusion Pump or CODMAN® 3000 Series Pump prior to implantation.
The Intera Refill Needle is a straight 22 gauge stainless steel non-coring needle with hub and needle cap. The Refill Needle is available in 1", 1 ½", and 2" lengths and is used to empty and fill the reservoir of a subcutaneously implanted infusion pump through the pump septum. The Refill Needle is provided sterile and is intended for single patient use.
The Intera Special Bolus Needle is a straight 20 gauge stainless steel non-coring needle with hub and needle cap. A tubing extension set is integrated with the needle hub. The Special Bolus Needle is available in 1 3/8" and 2" lengths and is used to deliver infusate through the pump septum to the pump catheter. The Special Bolus Needle is provided sterile and is intended for single patient use.
The Intera OR Prep Kit contains the accessories used to prep and fill the pump prior to implantation and is assembled as a convenience to the end-user with the following sterile, single-use items:
- One (1) 22g non-coring (Huber) Refill Needle
- One (1) 20g non-coring (Huber) Special Bolus Huber Needle with attached tubing, clamp, and female luer
- One (1) 33cm (13") tubing set with clamp and female luer assembled to an empty syringe barrel
The empty syringe barrel acts as a liquid waste receptacle to hold the fluid that is passively drained from the infusion pump during pump preparation prior to implantation. The empty syringe barrel and drained fluid are discarded after use and have no direct patient contact. The empty syringe barrel does not include a piston and does not function as a piston syringe.
The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the Intera Non-coring (Huber) Refill Needles, Intera Non-coring (Huber) Special Bolus Needles, and OR Prep Kit. It describes the device, its intended use, and a comparison to a predicate device, along with summary of testing conducted to demonstrate substantial equivalence.
However, the request asks for specific information related to acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria for an AI/ML powered device. The submitted document pertains to a medical device that is a set of needles and an OR Prep Kit, not an AI/ML-powered medical device.
Therefore, the requested information elements (such as sample size for test set, data provenance, number of experts for ground truth, adjudication method, MRMC study, standalone performance, training set sample size, and ground truth establishment for training set) are not applicable to this type of device and are not present in the provided document.
The document focuses on bench performance tests, sterilization validation, biocompatibility, and shelf-life validation to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device, which is typical for non-AI medical devices.

Table 1. Comparison of the Intera Huber Needle Set to the Predicate Huber Needle Set
{6}------------------------------------------------
{7}------------------------------------------------
-Discussion of Differences
Indications for Use
Both the proposed and predicate devices are intended for insertion through the septum of subcutaneously implanted receptacles for infusion of fluids and drugs. The proposed device is used for infusion of an implanted infusion pump, while the predicate device is used for infusion of an implanted port. The predicate device is also used for blood sampling from the implanted port and for power injection, neither of which can be done with the proposed device. These differences do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness because the indications for use of the proposed device are within those of the predicate device.
Infusion Set Components
Both the proposed and predicate devices include non-coring (Huber) needles, tubing, luers, and clamps. Some of the accessories in the two infusion sets differ, i.e., the predicate infusion set also includes connectors, wings, and Y-adapters, that are needed for its intended uses related to an implanted port, while the proposed infusion set includes an empty syringe barrel, which is needed for its intended uses related to an implanted infusion pump. The empty syringe barrel is provided as a convenience to the user and serves as a passive waste receptacle for bacteriostatic water that is removed from the pump prior to implantation. The empty syringe barrel is not a piston syringe and contains no piston is not needed to draw out the fluid. There is no patient contact with the empty syringe barrel, and both the barrel and removed fluid are discarded after use. The end of the empty syringe barrel is covered by a Tyvek seal, and leak testing conducted to an internal protocol (see Section J) confirmed the integrity of this seal. Even if the Tyvek seal were to leak, there would be no risk to the patient or user as: 1) this process occurs during pump preparation before pump implantation: 2) the operator will be wearing sterile gloves; and 3) the removed fluid is bacteriostatic water. Therefore, this additional infusion set accessory does not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness.
Hub/Needle Bond Strength
The hub/needle bond strength for the predicate device is unknown. However, the hub/needle bond strength for the Intera needles was tested to and demonstrated to comply with the requirements of ISO 7864:2016 (See Section J). Therefore, any differences between the proposed and predicate devices do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness.
Huber Needle Tip Configuration
The Huber needles in the proposed device have a straight tip, while the Huber needles in the predicate device have a bent (90 degrees) tip. The straight tip of the Intera Huber needles is appropriate for accessing the Intera 3000 and Codman 3000 infusion pumps, which are implanted subcutaneously in the lower abdomen. A bent needle is not necessary for pump access. The Intera needles were tested to and shown to comply with the applicable requirements of ISO 7864:2016, ISO 9626:2016, and ASTM F3212-16 for stainless steel needles (see Section J). Therefore, this difference does not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness for the Intera Huber needles.
{8}------------------------------------------------
Needle Gauge and Length
The needle gauges of the Intera Huber needles are within the range offered by the predicate device. The Intera Huber needle lengths are also within the range offered by the predicate device except that the largest Intera Huber needle is 2" as compared to 1.5" for the predicate. This longer length is only needed in the case of a larger patient where there may be a greater distance to reach the pump receptacle. All needle lengths function the same. The Intera needles were tested to and shown to comply with the applicable requirements of ISO 7864:2016, ISO 9626:2016, and ASTM F3212-16 for stainless steel needles (see Section J). Therefore, this difference does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.
Shelf Life
The shelf life for the predicate device is unknown. However, the 24-month shelf life for the Intera Non-coring (Huber) Needles and OR Prep Kit was established by testing samples that had been real-time aged under warehouse conditions in conformance with ASTM F1929-15 and ASTM F88M/F88-15 for package integrity and applicable requirements of ISO 7864:2016 and ISO 8536-9:2015 for device integrity (see Section J). Therefore, any differences between the proposed and predicate devices do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness.

K. Conclusion
The differences between the predicate and the subject device do not raise any new or different questions of safety or effectiveness. The information and testing presented in this 510(k) demonstrate that the Intera Non-coring (Huber) Refill and Special Bolus Needles and OR Prep Kit with Tubing Set are substantially equivalent to the Huber Needle Infusion Set cleared under K200463 with respect to the indications for use and technological characteristics.
