The device is intended for use as a dispenser, a measuring device and an oral fluid transfer device. It is intended to be used to deliver fluids into the body orally or enterally. It is intended to be used in clinical or home care settings by operators ranging from qualified medical practitioners to laypersons (under the supervision of a qualified medical practitioners) in all age groups.
The Oral/Enteral Syringe with ENFit connector is a disposable enteral feeding syringe provided in a variety of sizes from 0.5ml to 60ml. The Oral/Enteral Syringe with ENFit connector consists of plunger, gasket/piston, barrel with ENFit connector, and used to deliver fluids into the body orally or connected to an enteral access device with male ENFit connector. The proposed syringe is sterilized by Ethylene Oxide Gas to achieve a SAL of 10-6 and supplied sterility maintenance package which could maintain the sterility of the device during the shelf life of three years.
This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for an Oral/Enteral Syringe with ENFit connector, seeking substantial equivalence to a predicate device. As such, it does not describe a study to prove a device meets acceptance criteria in the way a clinical trial or performance study for a novel diagnostic algorithm might. Instead, it demonstrates substantial equivalence by showing that the device meets relevant performance standards and has similar technological characteristics to a predicate device.
Therefore, many of the requested categories (sample size for test set, data provenance, number of experts, adjudication method, MRMC study, standalone performance, ground truth for test/training set, training set sample size) are not applicable in the context of this 510(k) submission for a non-active medical device like a syringe.
However, I can extract the acceptance criteria where applicable (i.e., performance standards and biocompatibility) and report the device's performance against those standards as described in the document.

7. The type of ground truth used:
- Not Applicable. For this type of device, performance is evaluated against objective, measurable criteria defined in international scientific and engineering standards (e.g., ISO, ASTM). There isn't a "ground truth" derived from expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data in the context of a diagnostic product.
8. The sample size for the training set:
- Not Applicable. This is a non-AI device submission; there is no "training set."
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not Applicable. This is a non-AI device submission; there is no "training set" or ground truth for it.
Summary of Study (Based on Submitted Information):
The "study" in this context is a collection of non-clinical performance evaluations and testing conducted to demonstrate that the Anhui Tiankang Medical Technology Co., Ltd. Oral/Enteral Syringe with ENFit connector is substantially equivalent to its predicate device. This involves:
- Biocompatibility Testing: Evaluating the device's materials for cytotoxicity, irritation, and sensitization according to ISO 10993 series. The device reported "No Cytotoxicity; No Irritation; No Sensitization."
- Sterilization Validation: Confirming the Ethylene Oxide (EO) sterilization process meets ISO 11135 standards and an SAL of 10-6, along with EO and ECH residue testing per ISO 10993-7. The device was found to comply.
- Shelf Life Determination: Performing accelerated aging tests according to ASTM F1980-16 to support a 3-year shelf life.
- Package Integrity Testing: Conducting tests like seal strength (ASTM F88/F88M-15), blue dye penetration (ASTM F1929-2015), and visual inspection (ASTM F1886/F1886M-16) to ensure packaging maintains sterility. All packaging was deemed acceptable.
- Product Performance Testing: Evaluating the syringe against specific functional standards:
- Dose accuracy according to ISO 7886-1:2017.
- Enteral connector compatibility and performance according to ISO 80369-3:2016.
- General connector requirements and common test methods from ISO 80369-1:2018 and ISO 80369-20:2015.
- Material properties referenced by ASTM D638-22 and ASTM D790-17.
The submission concludes that the non-clinical testing demonstrates the device's safety, effectiveness, and performance are comparable to the legally marketed predicate device, thereby establishing substantial equivalence. No clinical studies were included or deemed necessary for this type of device.

Difference comment 1
The Gasket of the subject device is not covered by the predicate device, but the Oral/Enteral Syringe with ENFit connector of the structure has passed the verification of ISO 80369-3, ISO 80369-20 and ISO 7886-1 standard tests, and the results meet the
{6}------------------------------------------------
requirements. Therefore, this difference does not raise new safety and effectiveness issues for the device.
Difference comment 2
The product size for subject device is different from predicate device. The subject device includes 12 sizes, 0.5ml, 1ml, 2.5ml/3ml, 10ml/12ml, 20ml, 30ml, 30ml, 35ml, 60ml all of which are covered by predicative device. but after the test of product performance, the safety and effectiveness of the product have been verified. In addition, this difference is just in infusion capacity and dose not effect indication for use, and the physician can select by per patient's condition. Therefore, this difference does not raise new safety and effectiveness issues for the device.
Difference comment 3
subject device is different from predicate device in material, but the main material of the device is PP. However, the biocompatibility test has been performed on proposed device according to ISO 10993, the result does not show any adverse effect which can demonstrate the safety of proposed device. Therefore, this difference does not raise new safety and effectiveness issues for the device.
