Intended Use

The Disposable Medical Safety Hypodermic Needle is intended for use in the aspiration and injection of fluids for medical purposes. The Disposable Medical Safety Hypodermic Needle is compatible for use with standard luer slip and luer lock syringes.

Additionally, after withdrawal of the needle from the body, the attached needle safety shield can be manually activated to cover the needle immediately after use to minimize risk of accidental needle-stick.

Device Description

The Disposable Medical Safety Hypodermic Needle is composed of a needle hub, a needle tube, a needle cap and a sharp injury protection feature. The sharp injury protection feature is simultaneously activated when manually pressed over the needle after use and prior to disposal to minimize the possibility of sharps injury. The sharp injury protection feature is activated with one-hand operation by pressing the sharp injury protection feature either with the finger or thumb, or by surface activation. The locking mechanism is positioned within the center and proximal end of the sharp injury protection feature. The hinge feature(sharp injury protection feature) allows the medical practitioner the flexibility to adjust the sharp injury protection feature to its desired position for use.

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

The document does not explicitly state the specific sample sizes used for each test. Instead, it indicates that testing was performed according to various ISO standards. These standards typically define appropriate sample sizes and methodologies for testing.

The data provenance is from China, as the submitting company, Hantech Medical Device Co., Ltd., is located in Ningbo, People's Republic of China. The studies are pre-market studies conducted to support the 510(k) submission, indicating a controlled, laboratory or simulated environment, rather than prospective clinical trials in humans.

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

This information is not provided in the document. The studies primarily involve objective performance testing against established international standards rather than expert-driven ground truth establishment for a diagnostic or AI device.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not applicable as the studies described are for the physical and functional performance of a hypodermic needle, not for diagnostic interpretation or a device requiring expert adjudication of results.

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

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is typically conducted for diagnostic or imaging devices to assess the impact of AI on human reader performance. The device in question is a medical needle, not an AI or diagnostic device.

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

No, a standalone performance evaluation in the context of an algorithm or AI was not done. The device is a physical medical instrument.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

For the performance testing, the "ground truth" is defined by the specifications and requirements set forth in the referenced ISO and ASTM standards. These standards prescribe acceptable ranges, physical properties, and functional outcomes. For example, the cleanliness clause of ISO 7864 dictates the "ground truth" for acceptable levels of contamination.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This information is not applicable as the device is a physical medical product and not an AI/machine learning model that would require a "training set."

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

This information is not applicable for the same reason as above; there is no training set for this type of device.

Dear Arnold YANG:

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.

Discussion:

The subject device's needle gauge, needle length, type of wall and needle bevel are different from the predicate device. However, this difference is just in dimension. Different needle specification will be selected by physician per patient's condition. This difference does not affect intended use. In addition, differences were addressed through ISO 7864, ISO 9626 and ISO 80369-7. Therefore, the differences on needle length, gauge, wall type and bevel does not affect substantially equivalence on safety and effectiveness.

VII Performance data

The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.

Biocompatibility testing

Biocompatibility of the Disposable Medical Safety Hypodermic Needle was evaluated in accordance with ISO 10993-1:2018 for the body contact category of "External communication device - Blood path indirect" with a contact duration of "Limited (< 24 hours)".

VIII Conclusion

The Disposable Medical Safety Hypodermic Needle is substantially equivalent to its predicate device (TK Safety Needle). The non-clinical testing demonstrates that the device is as safe, as effective and performs as well as the legally marketed device.

§ 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).
