Intended Use

The Sterile Auto-Disable syringes with/without needle for single use is used for aspiration of fluids from vials and ampoules and a variety of fluid injections below the surface of the skin except phlebotomy.

Device Description

The Sterile Auto-Disable syringes with/without needle for single use is a syringe with or without needle, sterile, single use hypodermic syringe with a 6% (Luer) male connector/lock fitting in various sizes. The syringe assembly consists of a lubricated polypropylene barrel with a graduated scale, a lubricated synthetic rubber stopper and a polypropylene plunger rod. The plunger rod is pulled back to aspirate fluids or depressed to inject or expel fluids. The main principle of the syringe is that after the injection is completed, the plunger can be locked for self-locking.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device: Sterile Auto-Disable Syringes with/without Needle for Single Use. The FDA clearance letter indicates that the device has been reviewed and determined to be substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device (Safety Auto-Disable Syringe with Needle (Auto-Lock), K143497).

However, the provided document does not contain information related to a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria for an AI/ML-driven medical device. The document is a regulatory submission for a physical medical device (syringes) and details its physical, material, and performance characteristics compared to a predicate device.

Specifically, the document discusses:

  • Device Description: The physical components and mechanism of the auto-disable syringe.
  • Indications for Use: Aspiration of fluids and fluid injections.
  • Comparison to Predicate Device: Detailed table comparing features like indications for use, product code, regulation number, class, principle of operation, safety features, intended user, environment of use, syringe volume, nozzle type, lubricant, barrel transparency, graduations legibility, needle length, needle gauge, configuration of the tip, needle hub, single use, performance specifications, sterilization, SAL, materials, pyrogenicity, biocompatibility, and labeling.
  • Performance Data: Lists various tests conducted to demonstrate the physical device's safety and bio-compatibility, such as biocompatibility testing (Cytotoxicity, Skin Sensitization, Intracutaneous Reactivity, Acute Systemic Toxicity, Material-Mediated Pyrogens, Hemolysis, Particulate Matter), sterilization validation, shipping and shelf-life testing, and performance testing against ISO standards (ISO 7864, ISO 9626, ISO 80369-7, ISO 7886-4, ISO 7886-1).

None of the information requested in your prompt regarding acceptance criteria and studies for an AI/ML device is present in this documentation. The questions about sample sizes for test and training sets, data provenance, number and qualifications of experts, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone algorithm performance, and ground truth establishment are relevant to AI/ML device evaluations, but not to the type of device described in this 510(k) submission.

Therefore, I cannot populate the table or answer the specific questions about AI/ML device performance and validation using the provided text. The document is about the substantial equivalence of a physical syringe, not a software or AI/ML product.

Dear Esther Zhang:

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.

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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's

{1}------------------------------------------------

requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).

Comment #1

The subject device does not have a needle safety feature, but has a disc on the plunger which could be stuck by the buckle of the syringe to prevent re-use of the syringe. The subject device and the predicate device both have the same intended use, this difference does not affect the clinical safety of the subject device.

Comment #2

The subject device and the predicate device are both syringes that render the syringe unusable after injection, the predicate device also has a needle safety feature.

Comment #3

The subject device is available in gauges 18g-30g and the predicate device is available in 21g-28g. Performance testing was done per ISO 9626 and ISO 7864 done to demonstrate that the differences in needle gauges do not affect the clinical safety or

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

effectiveness of the devices.

Comment #4

The bevel of subject device is different from the predicate device. However, this difference does not affect intended use. The difference was addressed through ISO 9626 and ISO 7864. Therefore, the differences on bevel do not raise different question of safety and effectiveness.

Comment #5

The material of subject device is different from the predicate device. The piston of subject device is silicone rubber while the predicate device is isoprene rubber. And the configurations of subject device do not include Needle Sheath compared with predicate device, which does not affect its intended use and does not introduce new materials. However, biocompatibility testing was performed with the subject device and found it to be biocompatible. Therefore, the differences on materials do not raise new questions about safety and effectiveness.

§ 880.5860 Piston syringe.

(a)
Identification. A piston syringe is a device intended for medical purposes that consists of a calibrated hollow barrel and a movable plunger. At one end of the barrel there is a male connector (nozzle) for fitting the female connector (hub) of a hypodermic single lumen needle. The device is used to inject fluids into, or withdraw fluids from, the body.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
