Intended Use

The TERUMO SurGuard®3 SAFETY HYPODERMIC NEEDLE is intended for use in the aspiration and injection of fluids for medical purposes. The Terumo Safety Hypodermic Needle is compatible for use with standard luer lock syringes. Additionally, after withdrawal of the needle from the body, the attached needle safety sheath can be manually activated to cover the needle immediately after use to minimize risk of accidental needlestick.

Device Description

The SurGuard®3 Safety Hypodermic Needle is a hypodermic single lumen needle, for single use consisting of stainless steel cannula that is sharpened at one end at the other end joined to a female luer connector (hub) made of polypropylene designed to be connected with a male luer connector (nozzle) of a hypodermic syringe. The SurGuard®3 Safety Hypodernic Needle is compatible for use with standard luer slip and luer lock syringes. This device features a hinged safety sheath attached to the needle hub. The safety sheath contains two locking mechanisms, the tooth-cannula and sheath-collar which are simultaneously activated when manually pressed over the needle immediately after use and just prior to disposal to minimize the risk of accidental needlestick. The safety sheath is activated with a one-handed operation, using the finger, thumb, or surface activation.

The SurGuard®3 Safety Hypodermic Needle will be individually packaged and sterilized by ethylene oxide.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

  • Sample Size: Not specified in the document for any individual test. The document states that "The design... has been validated... in accordance with the Design Control Requirements and recognized consensus standards." These standards typically define sample sizes for specific tests.
  • Data Provenance: The testing was "validated by Terumo Europe N.V." and conducted to "recognized consensus standards." The nature of these standards suggests laboratory-based, non-clinical engineering and biological safety tests. No country of origin for the explicit test data is mentioned beyond Terumo Europe N.V. performing the validation. All testing is retrospective to the device design.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

  • Not applicable. This document describes non-clinical performance testing against technical standards for a hypodermic needle, not a diagnostic or AI device that requires expert-established ground truth.

4. Adjudication method

  • Not applicable, for the same reasons as #3.

5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

  • Not applicable. This is a hypodermic needle and not an AI-assisted diagnostic device. The document explicitly states "This 510(k) does not include data from clinical tests."

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

  • Not applicable. This is a physical medical device (hypodermic needle), not an algorithm or AI system.

7. The type of ground truth used

  • For non-clinical performance and safety testing, the "ground truth" is established by the specifications and requirements defined within the referenced international and national consensus standards (e.g., ISO, USP, ASTM). For example, a needle's sterility is "ground truth" if it achieves a SAL of 10⁻⁶ as per ISO 11135:2014. Biocompatibility is confirmed by meeting the biological endpoints outlined in ISO 10993-1.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an AI or machine learning model. There is no concept of a "training set."

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

  • Not applicable, for the same reasons as #8.

Substantial Equivalence Discussion

SurGuard®3 Safety Hypodermic Needle is the same needle as the SurGuard®3 Safety Hypodermic Needles cleared in K113422 and K122249 given that:

  • It has the same intended use and indications for use as the predicate devices ●
  • It uses the same principles of operation ●
  • It incorporates the same basic design ●
  • It is manufactured from the same materials
  • It is sterilized in accordance with validated methods ●
  • It is sterilized to a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10-6 ●
  • It has the same shelf life ●

The specifications of the subject device are the same of the ones already covered in K113422 and K122249.Terumo Europe buys SurGuard®3 Safety Hypodermic Needle in bulk from Terumo (Philippines) Corporation and then packs the product in a hard blister pack. Therefore, the difference is that the needle subject to this 510(k) file is packed in a hard blister pack consisting of blister lid coated paper and thermoformable plastic film instead of a soft blister pack, which is the case for the predicate devices. There is also a difference in the sterilization method (EO sterilization compared to E-beam sterilization) but the same sterility assurance level is achieved.

Based on the above explanation and supported by performance testing, it can be concluded that differences between the subject and the predicate devices do not impact safety and effectiveness.

USP <788> Particulate matter

Biocompatibility

The SurGuard®3 Safety Hypodermic Needles are categorized following the definitions in ISO 10993-1:2020 as external communicating devices that can indirectly contact the blood path up to 24 hours (short term exposure). Considering FDA Guidance document: Use of International Standard ISO-10993-1, "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part-1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process", the following biological endpoints are addressed: cytotoxicity, sensitization, intracutaneous reactivity, toxicity (acute systemic toxicity, material-induced pyrogenicity, bacterial endotoxins) and haemocompatibility.

Sterilization

The sterility of the SurGuard®3 Safety Hypodermic Needles is assured by using a validated sterilization method qualified in accordance with ISO 11135:2014 "Sterilization of Health Care Products – Ethylene oxide – Part 1: Requirements for the development, validation and routine control of a sterilization process for medical devices".

The physical validation of the sterilizer is conducted to verify the temperature and humidity in the sterilization load and the pressure in the sterilizer during the whole cycle.

The biological validation is performed in accordance with ISO 11135:2014 Annex B "Conservative determination of lethal rate of the sterilization process - Overkill approach" part B.1.2.a "Half cycle approach". This resulted in a holding time of 120 min for the sterilization cycle to assure a SAL of at least 10° according to the requirements of ISO 11135:2014.

The products can therefore be labelled sterile in accordance with EN 556-1:2001/AC1:2006 "Sterilization of medical devices - Requirements for medical devices to be labelled STERILE - Part 1: Requirements for terminally sterilized medical devices".

In accordance with ISO 10993-7:2008/AC:2009: "Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 7: Ethylene Oxide sterilization residual ethylene oxide level after aeration does not exceed 4 mg/device/day and the ethylene chlorohydrin level does not exceed 9 mg/device/day.
