Intended Use
Insulin Syringe is intended for subcutaneous injection of U-40 and U-100 insulin in the treatment of diabetes.
Device Description
The proposed device Insulin Syringe, a sterile device consisting of a calibrated barrel with plunger, is intended to be used to administer an injection of insulin to a patient subcutaneously. A non-retractable integrated needle is included. The syringe is made of plastic and silicone materials and allowing smooth plunger movement. This is a single-use device. The device is the same as K193273. The purpose of the submission is to add OTC labeling.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and standard testing of a syringe, with no mention of AI or ML.

No

Explanation: An insulin syringe is used for administering medication (insulin), not for directly treating a disease or condition itself. It is a drug delivery device, not a therapeutic device.

No

An insulin syringe is used for administering a drug (insulin) to a patient, not for diagnosing a condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical syringe made of plastic and silicone with an integrated needle, intended for subcutaneous injection. It is a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "subcutaneous injection of U-40 and U-100 insulin in the treatment of diabetes." This describes a device used to administer a substance into the body, not to test a sample from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a syringe with a needle, designed for injection. This aligns with a device used for administering medication, not for performing diagnostic tests on biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This insulin syringe does not fit that definition.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The bench testing performed verifies that the performance of the subject device is substantially equivalent in terms of critical performance characteristics to the predicate device. The data are provided in submission, K193273.

Performance Testing:
The Insulin Syringes have been designed and successfully tested (relying on K193273 submission) to meet the applicable requirements outlined in ISO 8537, such as:

  • Needle tube length;
  • -Diameter of needle tube;
  • Bond between hub and needle tube;
  • -Needle points;
  • -Freedom from defects;
  • -Lubrication;
  • -Fit of plunger stopper in barrel;
  • -Dead space;
  • -Freedom from leakage at needle;
  • -Freedom from leakage past plunger stopper;
  • -Tolerance on graduated capacity;
  • -Limits for acidity or alkalinity;
  • -Limits for extractable metals;
  • -Fragmentation;
  • -Penetration force ;
  • -Particulate contamination;

Biocompatibility testing:
The material of the Insulin Syringes have successfully passed testing as outlined in ISO 10993-1 for devices categorized as External communicating devices, Limited exposure.
ISO 10993-5:2009 Biological evaluation of medical devices -- Part 5: Tests for in vitro cytotoxicity
ISO 10993-10: 2010 Biological evaluation of medical devices Part 10: Test for Irritation and Sensitization

ASTM F 756-17 Standard Practice for Assessment of Hemolytic Properties of Materials
The United States Pharmacopeia (Pyrogen test), method of limulus amebocyte lysate [LAL].

Sterilization and Shelf-life Testing:
Sterilization of the Insulin Syringes has been validated according to ISO 11135 with half-cycle method.
Testing demonstrated maximum levels of residues of ethylene oxide (≤9mg/d) and ethylene chlorohydrins (≤4mg/d) met with the limits presented in ISO 10993-7. Shelf-life testing supports a shelf life of 5-years after sterilization.

Clinical study: No prospective clinical trials were conducted in support of this 510(K).

Dear Zearou 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.
