PLPT LDV (Low Dead Volume) LC(Luer-Cone) Sterile Syringe / PLPT LDV (Low Dead Volume) LL(Luer-Lock) Sterile Syringe is intended for use by health care professionals for general purpose aspiration of fluid from vials, ampoules and liquid injection below the surface of the skin.
PLPT LDV LC Sterile Syringe / PLPT LDV LL Sterile Syringe is a device intended to inject fluids into, or withdraw fluids from, parts of the body below the skin. The device consists of a calibrated barrel (cylinder) with a plunger, and metal tube that is sharpened at one end and at the other end joined to a female connector (hub). This device is intended for various medical applications and is not dedication administration. The distal end of the barrel has a Luer-Cone or Luer-lock connector for the attachment to a hypodermic needle or an administration set. The attached needle is covered by the protective cap which is intended to provide physical protection to the needle tube. The attached needle may have a safety guard that protects the user after use. This product is packed by sterile paper and sterilized by EO gas, and is a single-use device.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
The document mentions "Bench tests for the device's performance were conducted." and "Performance testing was conducted for this change". However, it does not specify the sample sizes used for the test sets for any of the performance or biocompatibility evaluations.
The data provenance is not explicitly stated in terms of country of origin, but the manufacturer is "Poonglim Pharmatech Inc." located in "Gunsan, 54001, Republic of Korea." The nature of the tests (bench, biocompatibility, sterility) implies prospective testing on manufactured devices, not retrospective data analysis.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts:
This information is not applicable and not provided in the document. The tests performed are objective, laboratory-based physical, chemical, and biological tests governed by international standards (ISO, USP). They do not require interpretation by a panel of human experts in the way clinical diagnostic or AI-based image analysis studies might.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
This information is not applicable as the tests are objective, laboratory-based evaluations against predetermined criteria. There is no human subjective assessment that requires adjudication.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:
This information is not applicable and not provided. This document pertains to the market clearance of a sterile syringe, which is a physical medical device. It does not involve any artificial intelligence (AI) component or human diagnostic interpretation that would warrant an MRMC study.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
This information is not applicable and not provided. This device is a physical syringe and does not have an algorithm or AI component.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:
The "ground truth" for the performance criteria and biocompatibility assessments is based on established international consensus standards (ISO) and pharmacopeial monographs (USP). For instance, cytotoxicity is evaluated against requirements of ISO 10993-5, sterility against ISO 11737-2, and mechanical properties against ISO 7886-1 and ISO 23908. These standards define the acceptable limits and methodologies, which serve as the "ground truth" for compliance.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:
This information is not applicable and not provided. This device is a physical syringe and does not involve machine learning or a training set.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established:
This information is not applicable and not provided as there is no training set for this type of device.

Equivalence discussion
Difference 1 - Capacity (Syringe Volume)
Although the configuration of PLPT LDV(Low Dead Volume) LC(Luer-Cone) Sterile Syringe; PLPT LDV(Low Dead Volume) LL(Luer-Lock) Sterile Syringe is similar to the configuration of the predicate device, the capacity (syringe volume) of the proposed device is different from the predicate device. However, this change is just in dimension. This difference does not alter the risks or raise potential risks per its intended use. Other aspects (e.g., Biocompatibility) are the same with the predicate device. Performance testing was conducted for this change, and it was confirmed that the differences on configuration do not raise new or different questions of safety and effectiveness when compared to the predicate device.

Equivalence discussion
Difference #2 – Needle gauge
The overall configuration of PLPT LDV LL/LC Sterile Syringe's needle component is similar as the configuration of the predicate device; the difference is that the subject device has more variable needle configurations. However, the needle configuration is widely used clinically. Performance testing for the needle component was conducted in accordance to internationally recognized standard (ISO 7864, and the testing shows that the needle configuration of the subject device conforms with the relevant standards. Therefore, the differences in the configuration do not raise new or different questions of safety and/or effectiveness when compared to the predicate device.
9. Sterility, Shipping and Shelf-Life
Sterilization validation was performed in accordance with ISO 11135:2014 to show that the E.O Gas sterilization process has been suitable for the continuous production, sterilization process was deemed acceptable.

Image /page/7/Picture/0 description: The image contains a logo for a company called "POONGLIM Pharmatech Inc." The logo consists of the letters "pLpT" in blue, stacked on top of each other. Below the letters, the company name is written in Korean and English. The Korean text is larger and bolder than the English text.
Also, the device's Shelf life of 5 years is validated in accordance with ISO 11607-1:2006 and ISO 11607-2:2006.
10. Substantially Equivalent (SE) Conclusion
The differences between the subject and predicate devices do not raise any new or different questions of safety and effectiveness when compared to the predicate device. A comparison to the predicate device has been conducted and demonstrated that the specifications and performance of the device are substantially equivalent as the legally marketed predicate device.
§ 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)
