Intended Use

The Hantech Pre-filled 0.9% Normal Saline Flush Syringes, are in flushing compatible intravenous administration sets and indwelling intravenous access devices. Use according to the manufacturer for the appropriate device.

Device Description

The Hantech Pre-filled 0.9% Normal Saline Flush Syringes is a polypropylene plastic syringe filled with 0.9% sodium chloride for injection, USP, and capped with a polypropylene syringe tip cap. The device will be marketed as 10mL syringe with a 3mL, 5mL or10mL fill volume according to the market needs. It is terminally sterilized by steam sterilization. The product has a shelf life of 1 years.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document (K231363) is a 510(k) summary for Hantech Pre-filled 0.9% Normal Saline Flush Syringes. This type of device is a sterile medical product, not an AI/ML-driven diagnostic or image analysis tool.

Therefore, the concepts of acceptance criteria, test sets, ground truth establishment by experts, MRMC studies, standalone algorithm performance, and training sets do not apply in the context of this device and the information provided in the 510(k) summary.

The document describes non-clinical bench testing to demonstrate the substantial equivalence of the Hantech Pre-filled 0.9% Normal Saline Flush Syringes to a legally marketed predicate device. The "acceptance criteria" here refer to the predefined standards and limits for the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the syringe and its contents, as well as the sterilization process, which are based on recognized international and national standards (e.g., ISO, USP).

Here's an interpretation of the relevant information provided:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

The document provides a table summarizing the non-clinical testing performed. The "Acceptance criteria" column lists the standards/criteria the device must meet, and the "Conclusion" column indicates "Pass" for all tests, meaning the device met these criteria.

NO.TestMethodAcceptance criteriaConclusion

5SterilizationUSP<85>, USP31-<71>Bacterial endotoxins ≤0.5EU/mL, Sterility (conformance to USP31-<71>)Pass

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

The document explicitly states "Summary of clinical Testing: N/A," meaning no clinical trials were conducted. The testing described is bench testing (laboratory-based, non-human, non-animal testing) of the physical product, its components, and its contents. The sample sizes for each specific test (e.g., how many syringes were tested for dimensions, or how many batches for chemical composition) are not provided in this summary document. Data provenance would be the manufacturer's internal testing facilities in China. The testing is prospective in the sense that it was conducted specifically for this 510(k) submission to demonstrate compliance.

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

This question is not applicable. The "ground truth" for a medical device like a syringe is established by validated measurement methods and recognized standards, not by expert consensus on clinical findings. For example, the pH of the saline is measured by a pH meter against a standard, not by an expert's opinion.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

Not applicable. This concept is relevant for studies involving human interpretation or subjective assessments, like image reading, not for objective bench testing of a physical product.

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

No, an MRMC study was not done. This type of study is typically performed for diagnostic devices (e.g., AI in radiology) where the performance of human readers, with and without AI assistance, is compared. This device is a pre-filled saline syringe.

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

No, this concept is entirely irrelevant for a medical device such as a pre-filled saline syringe. This applies to AI/ML algorithms.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

The "ground truth" (or more accurately, the reference standard) for this device's performance is based on:

  • Recognized consensus standards: International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards (e.g., ISO 7886-1, ISO 80369-7, ISO 10993 series)
  • United States Pharmacopeia (USP) monographs and general chapters: (e.g., USP<791> for pH, USP<191> for identification tests, USP<788> for particulate matter, USP<85> for Bacterial Endotoxins, USP31-<71> for Sterility tests, USP monographs for Sodium Chloride Injection)
  • Manufacturer's internal specifications: Which must meet or exceed these recognized standards.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

Not applicable. This device is not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a "training set."

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established:

Not applicable, as 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 (the 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 available 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. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Discussion:

Comment 1

The materials of plunger stopper and protective cap are different between the subject device and predicate device. The cap materials of subject device and predicate device are all polypropylene, the only difference is that the cap material of the predicate device has white colorant while the subject device does not. The biocompatibility test of the subject device was conducted to demonstrate that the subject device met the biocompatibility requirements. So these differences do not raise any safety and effectiveness problems.

{7}------------------------------------------------

Comment 2

The shelf life is different between the subject device and predicate device. The subject device has a shelf life of 1 years and meets all acceptance criteria. Results from shelf life testing conducted on the subject device demonstrate that differences (if any) between the shelf life of the predicate device and the subject device shelf life do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.

VII Summary of Non-clinical Testing (Bench):

The non-clinical testing for Hantech Pre-filled 0.9% Normal Saline Flush Syringes were performed to demonstrate verification testing in conformance with the acceptance criteria of test methods and recognized consensus standards shown below.

§ 880.5200 Intravascular catheter.

(a)
Identification. An intravascular catheter is a device that consists of a slender tube and any necessary connecting fittings and that is inserted into the patient's vascular system for short term use (less than 30 days) to sample blood, monitor blood pressure, or administer fluids intravenously. The device may be constructed of metal, rubber, plastic, or a combination of these materials.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
