Intended Use
The safety blood collection needle without a needle holder is intended to be used with a vacuum blood collection tube to collect venous blood. The safety shield is intended to protect against accidental needle stick injury.
Device Description
The proposed device is a blood collection device to form a channel between the patient's vein and the evacuated blood collection tube intended for blood collection. The Pipe pluq piercing needle is designed with a rubber cap, which can be activated to cover the needle immediately following venipuncture to aid in the protection against accidental needle stick injury. The product is to be used by appropriately trained healthcare professionals only in accordance with these instructions. The Safety blood collection needles without needle holders are manufactured from tubular stainless steel sharpened at both ends that are attached as follows: - -The threaded hub has one side that is to connect with the needle holder, which is used to guide the needle into a vacuum blood collection tube. This end of the needle is shorter and fitted with a rubber cap and a needle hub. - -The opposite end of the needle tube is 3/4"-1 1/2" for blood collection and is fitted with a protective sleeve. The needle hub and protective cap protect the needle tube. The safety feature is easily operated through the release of a latch mechanism whereby the user slides a safety shield over the needle as it is removed from the patient. Once the needle is covered, the safety shield locks in place. This mechanism is substantially equivalent to that of the predicate device. The devices are packaged as sterile, single-use, and single-patient use only. The proposed device is comprised of the components listed below: - 1. Bottom sheath - 2. Rubber cap - 3. Needle hub - 4. Connecting base - 5. Safety shield - 6. Needle tube - 7. Upper sheath

No
The device is described as a blood collection needle used to collect venous blood, which is a diagnostic procedure, not a therapeutic intervention.

No

Explanation: The device is a blood collection needle intended to collect venous blood. It does not perform any analysis or provide diagnostic information. Its primary function is to facilitate the physical collection of a blood sample.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components such as needles, hubs, shields, and sheaths, and the performance studies focus on physical and material properties, not software validation.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to collect venous blood. While the collected blood may be used for in vitro diagnostic testing, the device itself is solely for the collection process. It does not perform any analysis or diagnostic function on the blood.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical components and mechanism for blood collection and safety. There is no mention of reagents, analytical components, or any function related to testing or diagnosis.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies listed are related to the physical and biological safety of the device (needle standards, biocompatibility, sterilization, packaging). There are no studies related to the analytical performance of the device in a diagnostic context.

An IVD device is defined as a medical device that is intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood, derived from the human body, solely or principally for the purpose of providing information concerning a physiological or pathological state, or a congenital abnormality, or to determine the safety and compatibility with potential recipients, or to monitor therapeutic measures.

This device is a tool for obtaining the specimen, not for examining it.

3. Device Description:

The proposed device is a blood collection device to form a channel between the patient's vein and the evacuated blood collection tube intended for blood collection. The Pipe pluq piercing needle is designed with a rubber cap, which can be activated to cover the needle immediately following venipuncture to aid in the protection against accidental needle stick injury. The product is to be used by appropriately trained healthcare professionals only in accordance with these instructions. The Safety blood collection needles without needle holders are manufactured from tubular stainless steel sharpened at both ends that are attached as follows:

  • -The threaded hub has one side that is to connect with the needle holder, which is used to guide the needle into a vacuum blood collection tube. This end of the needle is shorter and fitted with a rubber cap and a needle hub.
  • -The opposite end of the needle tube is 3/4"-1 1/2" for blood collection and is fitted with a protective sleeve.

The needle hub and protective cap protect the needle tube.

The safety feature is easily operated through the release of a latch mechanism whereby the user slides a safety shield over the needle as it is removed from the patient. Once the needle is covered, the safety shield locks in place. This mechanism is substantially equivalent to that of the predicate device.

The devices are packaged as sterile, single-use, and single-patient use only.

The proposed device is comprised of the components listed below:

    1. Bottom sheath
    1. Rubber cap
    1. Needle hub
    1. Connecting base
    1. Safety shield
    1. Needle tube
    1. Upper sheath

4. Indications for Use

The safety blood collection needle without a needle holder is intended to be used with a vacuum blood collection tube to collect venous blood. The safety shield is intended to protect against accidental needle stick injury.

Discussion:

Note 1: IFU

The predicate device included three devices: Blood Collection Needle with/without holder; Safety Blood Collection Needle with/without holder and Luer access deviceholder with preattached multiple sample adapter; We only choose "Safety Blood Collection Needle with/without holder" as the predicate device, and the difference is that the subject device doesn't include needle holder, but the intended use is exactly same as the predicate device. The difference doesn't raise new questions on the safety and effectiveness of the subject device.

Note 2: Material

Although the material of the subject device is not fully exactly the same as predicate device, they conform to the same ISO10993-1 biocompatibility standards.

Note 3: Needle Gauge

The needle gauge of the subject devices is not fully exactly the same as the predicate device, but they still conform to the same applicable performance standards of ISO 9626. Therefore, the difference does not raise new questions about the safety and effectiveness of the proposed device.

Note 4: Needle Length

The needle length of the subject devices is available more in size than the predicate device, but they conform to the same applicable performance standards per ISO 7864. Therefore, the difference does not raise new questions about the safety and effectiveness of the proposed device.

6. Performance Testing

To establish substantial equivalence to the identified predicate device, we performed the tests noted below on the subject devices. The testing results proved that the subject device complies with the applicable standards requirement and is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
