Safety Lancet is intended to be used to obtain capillary blood sample to perform medical testing, including blood glucose monitoring and for tests using small amounts of blood.
Safety Lancet, could be divided into Model XY, Model XH and Model XA according to the design features and key functional elements.The device is sterilized by Gamma ray(Co-60 or e-beam) and for single use. The shelf life is 5 years.
The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the "Safety Lancet" device, which makes an equivalence claim to previously cleared predicate devices. Since this is an equivalence claim, the studies described are primarily non-clinical bench testing to demonstrate that the subject device performs as safely and effectively as the predicate devices. It does not contain information about clinical studies with human participants.
Therefore, many of the requested fields related to clinical efficacy studies, such as sample size for test sets, data provenance, number of experts for ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, or standalone algorithm performance, are not applicable to the information provided in this 510(k) summary. These types of studies are typically conducted for new technologies or to demonstrate clinical efficacy, which is not the primary purpose of a 510(k) submission based on substantial equivalence.
Here's the information extracted from the document based on the request:
1. Table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
The document lists performance tests conducted but does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" and "reported device performance" in a direct side-by-side format with quantitative measures for each criterion. Instead, it states that the performance data were "provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination" and that "The test results show that the product had well sharps injury prevention feature." This implies that the device met the internal (or external standard-based) acceptance criteria for each test.

7.Comparison of technological characteristics with the predicate device
{9}------------------------------------------------
{10}------------------------------------------------
{11}------------------------------------------------
Note 1:The indications for use statements are not identical in wording, however, demonstrate the same desired intended use. Both devices are intended for use for obtaining blood samples. The overarching principal nature of the lancing devices is to obtain blood samples. Both the predicates and subject device have this goal as the main aspect of the indication for use statement. It is also important to note both the subject device and predicate B state the inclusion of a sharps safety prevention feature into the product design. Note 2: Model XY has the same design with predicate device A and B, lancet is activated when press the device's slider against the body site. Model XH and Model XA have the different feature is that lancet is activated when press the device's push button(back cover). Although there are slight differences in design, they all use the elasticity of springs and the structure of plastic parts to realize their functions. All of the models have been testing for the safety and effectiveness.
{12}------------------------------------------------
Note 3: The subject device and predicate device B all have needle/blade type, but the predicate device A only has needle type. Predicate device B has marketed for many years, it indicates that the blade type is safe and effective.
Note 4: All the devices have different models, only there are some differences in the way of distinguishing models. Besides, subject device has three model:Model XY,Model XH and Model XA. They are have different appearance, the needle body with needle or blade is hidden inside the housing/slider of Model XY, the needle body with needle or blade is hidden inside the housing/protective cap of Model XH and Model XA. The Model XA can adjustable the penetration depth, and the Model XY and Model XH can not adjustable the penetration depth.
Note 5: The predicate device A was tested Cytotoxicity, Sensitization and Irritation to demonstrate biocompatibility. The subject device was tested In vitro cytotoxicity, skin sensitization.intracutaneous reactivity, acute systemic toxicity and pyrogen to demonstrate biocompatibility. The test content of the subject devices is more strict than the predicate device A.
Note 6: The needle of subject device and predicate device B have two types, needle type and blade type. The needle of predicate device A only has needle type .The needles are all solid cylindrical needles. The difference of the needle type is tri-bevel edge needle tip and blade type is two-bevel edge needle tip. Dimension/gauge of the needles all meet the requirements ISO 9626:2016. Therefore, the 1.2mm blade type needle of subject device is equal to 18G, 1.5mm blade type needle of subject device is equal to 17G. The subject device has 18G(1.2mm),21G,23G,25G,26G,28G,30G needle, which is same as the predicate device A, excpet 17G(1.5mm). According to ISO 9626:2016, the most thickest needle reaches to 10G, so the 17G(1.5mm) needle can be used clinically. Additional, the 17G(1.5mm) needle of the subject device havs been marketed on EU market and no adverse event was collected. The subject device and predicate device A/B all have different penetration depth.But the range of the subject device's penetration depth is from 1.2mm to 2.8mm, which is the same as the penetration depth of predicate device A(1.2mm-2.8mm).

(c)
Multiple use blood lancet for single patient use only —(1)Identification. A multiple use capable blood lancet intended for use on a single patient that is comprised of a single use blade attached to a solid, reusable base that is used to puncture the skin to obtain a drop of blood for diagnostic purposes.(2)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special controls are:(i) The design characteristics of the device must ensure that:
(A) The lancet blade can be changed with every use, either manually or by triggering a blade storage unit to discard the used blade and reload an unused blade into the reusable base; and
(B) The structure and material composition are consistent with the intended use and address the risk of sharp object injuries and bloodborne pathogen transmissions and allow for validated cleaning and disinfection.
(ii) Mechanical performance testing must demonstrate that the device will withstand forces encountered during use.
(iii) The device must be demonstrated to be biocompatible.
(iv) Sterility testing must demonstrate the sterility of any device component that breaches the skin (
e.g., blade).(v) Validation testing must demonstrate that the cleaning and disinfection instructions are adequate to ensure that the reusable lancet base can be cleaned and low level disinfected.
(vi) Labeling must include:
(A) Detailed descriptions, with illustrations, of the proper use of the device.
(B) The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) registered disinfectant's contact time for disinfectant use.
