Intended Use

It is intended to be used for medical purposes to inject fluids into or withdraw fluids from the body.

Device Description

A sterile device consisting of a calibrated barrel with plunger and a fixed needle at the distal end intended to be used for injection/withdrawal of fluids/gas (e.g., medication) to/from a medical device or the body (i.e., capable of both). It is made of stainless steel needle, plastic and silicone materials, and is manually operated. It is intended for various medical applications and is not dedicated to medication administration.

It is intended be used by health-care personnel (doctors, nurses, etc.). The needle is lubricated with silicone. Product is sterile and sterilization process is validated according to ISO 11135:2014.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for Promisemed Sterile Hypodermic Syringes and Verifine Sterile Hypodermic Syringes. It is not a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria for an AI/ML powered device. Instead, it demonstrates substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device (Sol-M TB Syringe K153537) for a standard medical device (syringes).

Therefore, the requested information about acceptance criteria, study design for AI/ML performance, ground truth establishment, expert adjudication, MRMC studies, and training set details are not applicable to this document.

The document primarily focuses on:

  • Device Description: Sterile hypodermic syringes with a fixed needle.
  • Intended Use: To inject or withdraw fluids from the body for medical purposes.
  • Substantial Equivalence: Comparison to a predicate device (Sol-M TB Syringe K153537) in terms of intended use, technological characteristics, and performance.
  • Performance Testing: Bench testing according to recognized ISO standards (ISO 7886-1, ISO 9626, ISO 7864) and USP <85> for bacterial endotoxin, along with sterility, package integrity, shelf-life, and biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993 series. These tests confirm the physical and biological safety of the device, not the performance of an AI algorithm.

Summary of Device Performance (from the document), adapted to fit a "performance" concept for a non-AI device:

Acceptance Criteria (Bench Test Standards)Reported Device Performance (Compliance)
ISO 7886-1:2017 (Sterile hypodermic syringes for manual use)Complied
ISO 9626:2016 (Stainless steel needle tubing)Complied
ISO 7864:2016 (Sterile hypodermic needles for single use)Complied
USP <85> (Bacterial Endotoxin Test - limit < 20 EU/Device)Complied (non-pyrogenic, endotoxin < 20 EU/Device)
ISO 11135:2014 (Ethylene oxide sterilization - SAL 10^-6)Complied (Sterilization validated, EO/chlorohydrin residuals within limits)
ASTM D4169 (Simulated transportation) / ASTM F88/F88-15 (Seal strength) / ASTM F1929-15 (Dye penetration) (Package integrity/sterility maintenance)Complied (Packaging acceptable for product protection and sterility maintenance)
ASTM F1980-16 (Accelerated Aging - Shelf Life)5 years shelf life validated
ISO 10993-5:2009 (Cytotoxicity)No cytotoxicity
ISO 10993-10:2010 (Irritation and Skin Sensitization)No evidence of skin irritation or sensitization
ISO 10993-11:2006 (Acute Systemic Toxicity)No systemic toxicity
USP 42-NF37 <151> (Pyrogen Test)Non pyrogenic
USP <788> (Particulate matter in injections)Complied
ISO 10993-4:2017 (Interactions with blood)Complied (No evidence of hemolysis)
ISO 10993-7:2008 (Ethylene oxide sterilization residuals)Within limit

The remaining questions are not applicable as this is a traditional medical device submission, not an AI/ML device:

  1. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable. Performance is based on bench testing of device characteristics, not a clinical test set from patient data.
  2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. No "ground truth" for diagnostic or prognostic purposes is established. Device performance is determined by objective physical and chemical tests against recognized standards.
  3. Adjudication method: Not applicable.
  4. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done: Not applicable.
  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: Not applicable. Performance is based on compliance with established engineering and biocompatibility standards.
  7. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable.
  8. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

Dear Wei Hsu:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal
