Intended Use
The SOL-GUARD™ Safety Pull-Button Blood Collection Set is a sterile, multi-sample, single-use fixed winged blood collection set intended for venipuncture to obtain blood specimens . When used without the male Luer adapter, the device allows the clinician to obtain blood sampling to the female hub with a syringe, if necessary, or can be used for short-term (up to 2 hours), single infusions with consideration given to patient size and appropriateness for the solution being infused. The device is not to be left in place and remain under the direct supervision of a clinician. The recommended use of the device is to activate the needle safety feature prior to removal the venipuncture site. The retraction of the intravenous (IV) end of the needle aids in the prevention of accidental needlestick injury.
Device Description
SOL-GUARD™ Safety Pull-Button Blood Collection Set, is a single-use, sterile, winged blood collection needle that can be used for blood collection and/or the short-term (up to 2 hours) infusion of intravenous fluids. The device is offered with butterfly needle set which has either 21-, 23- or 25-gauge needle with integral butterfly wings, offered in two different flexible tubing lengths of 178mm and 305mm, and a safety tube with tubing leading to a female luer connector. The female luer connector is optionally attached to a luer adapter, or luer adapter plus a tube holder. The device is designed with spring retractable needle technology that allows needle retraction after use to prevent needle stick injury and blood exposure. When the Button on the body of the butterfly is pulled back, the spring is released, and the needle is retracted into the clear plastic safety tube. In the activated position, the needle is completely enclosed within the clear plastic safety tube which guards against accidental needlesticks during normal handling and disposal.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical safety features and material properties, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device is primarily a blood collection set and, secondarily, can be used for short-term fluid infusion, which is not considered a primary therapeutic function.

No

Explanation: The device is a blood collection set and, in some cases, can be used for short-term fluid infusion. Its stated purpose is to obtain blood specimens and prevent needlestick injuries, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components such as needles, tubing, wings, and a safety tube with a spring mechanism, indicating it is a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, the SOL-GUARD™ Safety Pull-Button Blood Collection Set is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The primary intended use is for venipuncture to obtain blood specimens. While blood specimens are used in IVD testing, the device itself is the tool for collecting the specimen, not for performing the diagnostic test on the specimen.
  • Secondary Use: The secondary use is for short-term (up to 2 hours), single infusions. This is a therapeutic use, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical components and the safety mechanism for needle retraction. It does not describe any components or functions related to analyzing or testing the blood specimen.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of reagents, assays, or any other elements typically associated with IVD devices that perform tests on biological samples.

The device is a tool for collecting a biological sample (blood) that may be used for IVD testing, but the device itself does not perform the diagnostic test.

There is minor difference to the Indications for Use Statement between the predicate and the subject device. The duration of usage in the Indication for Use statement, "up to 2

5

hours" versus "short term" is not an actual difference. The predicate device's maximum time for infusion is also up to 2 hours, according to predicate's IFU, except not stated in their Indication for Use statement. Specifying the duration of use provides clarity and does not affect safety or effectiveness or raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.

F. Comparison of Technological Characteristics

Information was submitted to demonstrate that there are no significant differences in technological characteristics between the SOL-GUARD™ Safety Pull-button Blood Collection Set and the BD Vacutainer® UltraTouch Push Button Blood Collection Set.

Discussions of Differences in Technological Characteristics

Comment 1: Activation of safety mechanism

For the subject device, to activate the safety mechanism, the button on the body of the butterfly is pulled back, while the predicate device requires to push the button. Both (pull and push) actions allow the release of the internal spring that withdraws the needle from the patient's arm into the safety tube of the blood collection device. Both bench testing (Forces for Activation, Simulated "in-Vein" Needle Retraction, Simulated Jammed Retraction, and Safety Shield Unlocking Resistance) and Simulated Usability Study demonstrated that the "Pull" motion can activate the safety mechanism and provide the same protection for needlestick injury as the predicate device. This difference does not affect safety or effectiveness or raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.

Comment 2: Needle Diameter Wall

Although the predicate has an Ultra-Thin wall, its original version was a thin-walled needle covered under K030573 (predicate of BD Vacutainer UltraTouch Push Button Blood Collection Set). The difference in needle wall thickness does not raise any questions of safety and effectiveness.

7

Comment 3: Needle Point

Although the predicate has a 5-bevel needle point, its original version was a 3-bevel needle point covered under K030573 (predicate of BD Vacutainer UltraTouch Push Button Blood Collection Set). The difference in bevel type does not raise any questions of safety and effectiveness.

Comment 4: Sterilization Method

The sterilization validation per ISO 11135 shows that the subject device can reach the same sterilization assurance level as predicate device and there is no impact to safety and effectiveness caused by using Ethylene Oxide sterilization.

Comment 5: Shelf life

The real time and accelerated shelf-life testing per ASTM F1980-16 were conducted on subject device, demonstrating no safety and effectiveness were impacted by the prolonged shelf life.

Comment 6: Materials

The biocompatibility per ISO 10993 and performance testing showed that differences in materials of construction do not raise any questions of safety or effectiveness.

G. Performance Testing

The SOL-GUARD Safety Pull-Button Blood Collection Set described in this summary were tested and demonstrated to be in conformance with the following FDA recognized standards:

  • . ISO 7864:2016: Sterile hypodermic needles for single use - Requirements and test methods

  • ISO 23908:2011: Sharps injury protection Requirements and test methods -. Sharps protection features for single-use hypodermic needles, introducers for catheters and needles used for blood sampling

Biocompatibility

In accordance with ISO 10993-1, the needle is classified as: Externally Communicating Device, Blood Path Indirect, Limited Contact ( Particulate Matter in Injections and met the USP acceptance criteria.

Sterility, Pyrogen, Shelf-life, Bacterial Endotoxin, and Shipping

The subject device is intended to be sterilized with Ethylene Oxide procedures validated per ISO 11135. The subject device met applicable acceptance criteria for EO and ECH residuals per ISO 10993-7 and pyrogenicity per USP . The following additional tests were conducted:

  • Sterile Barrier Packaging testing (Peeling force per ASTM F88/F88M, Clean Peel per ISO 11607-1, and ASTM F1929 for Dye Penetration Test).
  • 3-year shelf-life test per ASTM F1980-16 Standard Guide for Accelerated Aging ● of Sterile Barrier Systems for Medical Devices.
  • Bacterial Endotoxin testing per European pharmacopoeia 10.2.6.14.
  • Simulated Shipping per ISTA 3A Packaged-Product for Parcel Delivery System ● Shipments 70kg (150lb) or Less.

In addition, bacterial endotoxin testing is conducted on every lot during manufacturing to meet pyrogen limit specification 20EU/device.

H. Conclusion

The differences between the subject and the predicate devices do not raise any new or different questions of safety and effectiveness. Based on the information provided in this submission, the subject devices, have been determined to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device, BD Vacutainer® UltraTouch™ Push Button Blood Collection Set.
