Intended Use

Becton Dickinson Pen Needle is intended for use with pen injector devices for the subcutaneous injection of drugs.

Device Description

The BD Nano™ 2nd Gen Pen Needle is designed for use with pen injectors for subcutaneous injection of a desired dose of drugs. It consists of a needle, base, and shield assembly. The BD Nano™ 2nd Gen Pen Needle is offered in a 32 gauge size and 4mm length. It is a singleuse disposable device that is provided sterile. The BD Nano™ 2nd Gen Pen Needle is nontoxic and non-pyrogenic.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the 510(k) summary for the BD Nano 2nd Gen Pen Needle, primarily focusing on its substantial equivalence to a predicate device (BD Contoured Base Pen Needle, K182320) after a material change.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information provided:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document states that the acceptance criteria are based on ISO 11608-2:2012 for functional performance and ISO 10993-1:2018 for biocompatibility. The reported device performance is that it "passed" these tests. Specific quantitative acceptance criteria or performance values are not detailed in this summary.

Acceptance Criteria (Standard)Reported Device Performance
ISO 11608-2:2012 (Functional Performance)Passed
ISO 10993-1:2018 (Biocompatibility)Passed

Functional Performance Tests (per ISO 11608-2):

  • Determination of Flow Rate through Needle
  • Bond between Hub and Cannula
  • Pen Installation and Removal Torque
  • Dose Accuracy

Biocompatibility Tests (per ISO 10993-1):

  • Cytotoxicity
  • Intracutaneous Reactivity
  • Skin Sensitization
  • Acute Systemic Toxicity
  • Subacute / Subchronic Toxicity
  • Genotoxicity Bacterial and Mammalian
  • Material-Mediated Pyrogenicity
  • Implantation
  • Bacterial Endotoxin

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The document does not explicitly state the sample size used for each specific test (e.g., number of needles tested for flow rate or bond strength). It refers to "testing" and "validated the design," implying samples were used as per the standards, but the specific number is not provided.

The data provenance is retrospective as the device's design (excluding material changes) and its predicate are already established, and the testing validates the modified device against established standards. The explicit country of origin for the data is not mentioned, but the submission is to the U.S. FDA by a company based in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey, USA.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

This section is not applicable as the described studies are non-clinical performance and biocompatibility tests, not studies evaluating expert interpretation or clinical diagnosis. The "ground truth" for these tests are the objective measurements defined by the ISO standards and their pass/fail criteria.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This section is not applicable as the described studies are non-clinical performance and biocompatibility tests, not studies involving human judgment or clinical endpoints that would require adjudication.

5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. The submission explicitly states: "No clinical study was included in this submission." The evaluation focuses on non-clinical performance and biocompatibility.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

This section is not applicable. The device is a "pen needle," a physical medical device, not an algorithm or AI system. Therefore, the concept of "standalone algorithm performance" does not apply.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for this device's evaluation is defined by:

  • Objective performance criteria derived from ISO 11608-2:2012 for functional characteristics (e.g., specific flow rates, torque values, dose accuracy).
  • Biological safety endpoints and criteria derived from ISO 10993-1:2018 for biocompatibility (e.g., demonstrating non-cytotoxicity, no sensitization).

These are engineering/materials performance standards and biological safety standards, not clinical pathology, expert consensus, or outcomes data in the usual sense for diagnostic or prognostic devices.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This section is not applicable as the device is a physical medical device (pen needle), not an AI algorithm that requires a "training set."

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

This section is not applicable as the device is a physical medical device, not an AI algorithm.

Dear Charlton Foo:

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 statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part

§ 880.5570 Hypodermic single lumen needle.

(a)
Identification. A hypodermic single lumen needle is a device intended to inject fluids into, or withdraw fluids from, parts of the body below the surface of the skin. The device consists of a metal tube that is sharpened at one end and at the other end joined to a female connector (hub) designed to mate with a male connector (nozzle) of a piston syringe or an intravascular administration set.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
