Intended Use

The 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP, BD PosiFlush™ SafeScrub prefilled flush syringe with an integrated disinfection unit is intended to be used as a disinfection cleaner for needleless access devices attached to indwelling vascular access devices (VADs) and flushing of these VADs.

Device Description

BD PosiFlush™ SafeScrub is a sterile, single use pre-filled saline syringe with integrated Disinfection Unit (DU). The polypropylene syringe contains 0.9% sodium chloride (USP) solution with a tip cap that is modified at the distal end to accommodate DU. The DU has high density polyethylene housing with 70% Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) solution in low density polyethylene foam. The pre-filled syringe with modified syringe tip cap is sterilized by moist heat and the DU is sterilized by gamma irradiation. The subject device is available only in 10mL syringe configuration.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the acceptance criteria and the results of various tests conducted for the BD PosiFlush™ SafeScrub device (K213955). This device is a pre-filled saline syringe with an integrated disinfection unit.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

The document does not explicitly state the sample sizes for each test in the provided table. It mentions "BD validated force" for several tests, implying internal validation studies by the manufacturer. The document details that "The subject device is also evaluated throughout its shelf life by bench performance testing to ensure that the device meets the predetermined acceptance criteria."

The data provenance is not specified regarding country of origin or whether it's retrospective or prospective, but it implies a prospective testing approach as part of the device's development and regulatory submission.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

This section is not applicable. The tests performed are primarily bench performance, engineering, chemical, and biological evaluations, not requiring human expert interpretation in the way, for example, a medical imaging AI product would. The "ground truth" for these tests is based on established scientific and regulatory standards (e.g., ISO, ASTM, USP guidelines) rather than expert consensus on diagnostic interpretations.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

Not applicable. As described in point 3, these are objective physical and chemical tests, not requiring human interpretation or adjudication panels. The "Pass" results are based on meeting predetermined quantitative or qualitative criteria from recognized standards.

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 device is a medical product (a pre-filled syringe with a disinfection unit), not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool. Therefore, MRMC studies and the concept of "human readers improve with AI" are not relevant to this submission.

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

Not applicable. As mentioned, this is not an AI algorithm. The performance of the device itself (standalone) is what was tested through the various bench performance tests, antimicrobial efficacy, and biocompatibility studies.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

The "ground truth" for the various tests relies on:

  • Established scientific and engineering principles: e.g., for container closure integrity, leakage, torque, pull force.
  • Recognized industry standards and guidelines: ISO 10993 series for biocompatibility, ASTM F2096 for package integrity, USP <788> for particulate ingress, USP 43-NF38 <161> for LAL Endotoxin.
  • Predetermined chemical concentrations: 70±7% for IPA concentration.
  • Microbiological reduction targets: ≥ 4-log reduction for antimicrobial efficacy, based on established efficacy standards for disinfectants.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This is not a machine learning or AI device that requires a training set.

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

Not applicable. There is no training set for this device.

Discussion:

The subject device and predicate devices are different with respect to the following items:

    1. The intended use of the subject device is identical to the predicates with the exception of pump compatibility statement since PosiFlush™ SafeScrub is not intended to be used with infusion pumps. The subject device refers to injection ports and female Luer hubs as needleless access devices. Needleless access devices include needlefree connector, Y-sites, and stopcocks.
    1. PosiFlush™ SafeScrub is created by combining the predicate devices (K161552 and K112791). The distal end of tip cap of PosiFlush SP syringe (K161552) and the housing of SiteScrub IPA Device (K112791) are dimensionally modified to integrate such that they remain attached to each other at all times. This integration/interface is evaluated by torque rotation and axial pull force tests throughout the shelf life.

NOTE: The modified SiteScrub IPA Device in PosiFlush™ SafeScrub is referred as Disinfection Unit (DU).

{9}------------------------------------------------

    1. The microorganisms targeted by DU in the in vitro antimicrobial efficacy test were chosen based on the current literature search for microorqanisms that cause catheter related bloodstream infection.
    1. The material of top foil which creates a seal on the DU housing has been updated from the SiteScrub IPA Device to comply with ISO 11607-1:2019 and for vendor consolidation purposes. Similar to the predicate device, the new top foil material also ensures that it retains sterile barrier integrity and accordingly packaging tests such as vacuum bubble leak test, peel force test, seal width, visual inspection, and porosity tests are performed.
    1. Since the colorant of DU housing is changed from blue to white, appropriate biocompatibility tests are performed as per ISO 10993-1 to ensure the safe use of PosiFlush™ SafeScrub. The biocompatibility tests performed on the DU are identified below. The colorant was changed from blue to white to match with the color of tip cap.
    1. The subject device is also evaluated throughout its shelf life by bench performance testing to ensure that the device meets the predetermined acceptance criteria.

The different technological characteristics between the subject and predicate device are evaluated in bench performance testing, in vitro antimicrobial efficacy, packaging integrity, and biocompatibility tests demonstrating that the different technological characteristics do not raise any new or different questions of safety and effectiveness.

Identification. An intravascular catheter is a device that consists of a slender tube and any necessary connecting fittings and that is inserted into the patient's vascular system for short term use (less than 30 days) to sample blood, monitor blood pressure, or administer fluids intravenously. The device may be constructed of metal, rubber, plastic, or a combination of these materials.(b)
