Intended Use

The BD PhaSeal™ Optima system is an airtight and leakproof closed system drug transfer device (CSTD) that mechanically prohibits the transfer of environmental contaminants into the system and the escape of drug vapor concentrations outside the system, thereby minimizing individual and environmental exposure to drug vapor, aerosols and spills. The BD PhaSeal™ Optima system also prevents microbial ingress for up to 168 hours.

Device Description

BD PhaSeal™ Optima Closed System Transfer Devices (CSTD) are sterile, single use closed system drug transfer devices intended for the reconstitution and transfer of antineoplastic or other hazardous drugs in the healthcare setting. The BD PhaSeal™ Optima system is comprised of four devices—Protector, Injector, Connector, and Infusion Adapter.

The closed transfer of liquid drugs takes place through a double membrane utilizing self-sealing elastomeric membranes that are tightly fitted together through the collet-style fitting on each of the BD PhaSeal™ Optima system devices. During use, the single lumen cannula of the Injector perforates the double membranes for the transfer of liquids. When the cannula is retracted, the membranes seal to prevent the transfer of environmental contaminants into the system and/or escape of drug or vapor concentrations outside the system, thereby minimizing the individual and environmental exposure to drug vapor, aerosols, leaks and spills. The BD PhaSeal™ Optima system prevents microbial ingress for up to 168 hours. Performance of the self-sealing membrane has been substantiated for up to 10 penetrations.

The BD PhaSeal™ Optima Connecting Set (C83-O) is a sterile, single patient use sterile device that enables the administration of non-hazardous and hazardous parenteral drugs when used with the devices that have the compatible mating component - the BD PhaSeal™ Optima Spike Set and/or Connector. The BD PhaSeal™ Optima Connecting Set will be utilized by healthcare workers who administer parenteral hazardous drugs.

The BD PhaSeal™ Optima Spike Set (C180-O) is a sterile, single patient use sterile bag access device that enables the preparation and administration of non-hazardous and hazardous parenteral drugs when used with devices that have the compatible mating component - the BD PhaSeal™ Optima Injector and/or Connecting Set. The BD PhaSeal™ Optima Spike Set will be utilized by healthcare workers who prepare and administer parenteral hazardous drugs.

Dear Melissa Iwu:

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.

Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device"

Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality System (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, 21 CFR 820.30, Design controls; 21 CFR 820.90, Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).

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

All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rule"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E). For additional information on these requirements, please see the UDI System webpage at https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system-udi-system.

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

Substantial Equivalence Discussion:

Design verification testing was performed to demonstrate that the subject device is equivalent to the predicate device. All test results met their acceptance criteria and support that the BD PhaSeal™ Optima Connecting Set (C83-O) and the BD PhaSeal™ Optima Spike Set (C180-O) are considered substantially equivalent to the predicate BD PhaSeal™ Optima Closed System Transfer Devices. The subject device and the predicates have equivalent indications for use and intended use. Both devices are sterile, single patient use devices that are sterilized via ethylene oxide.

Both the subject and predicate devices have the same principle of operation. The primary technological characteristics between the subject and the predicate devices are similar. The duration of the subject device and predicate are similar (up to 168 hours and/or 10 penetrations). When the injector or injector component is paired with a connector or IV-line, continuous use of the injector should not exceed 24 hours.

The BD PhaSeal™ Optima Connecting Set (C83-O) and the BD PhaSeal™ Optima Spike Set (C180-O) contain minor differences in technological characteristics when compared to the predicate device, however these differences do not change the intended use and do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness as supported by verification and validation testing.

Safety and Performance Testing

Non-clinical Testing:

The BD PhaSeal™ Optima Connecting Set and the BD PhaSeal™ Optima Spike Set were evaluated via non-clinical safety and performance testing to demonstrate that the subject devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
