(29 days)
Chemfort® 28-day 20 mm Vial Adaptor is a single use, sterile Closed System Transfer Device (CSTD) that mechanically prohibits the release of drugs, including antineoplastic and hazardous drugs, in vapor, aerosol or liquid form during preparation, reconstitution, compounding and administration, thus minimizing exposure of individuals, healthcare personnel, and the environment to hazardous drugs.
Chemfort® 28-day 20 mm Vial Adaptor prevents the introduction of microbial and airborne contaminants into the drug or fluid path for up to 28 days or 10 activations.
The Chemfort® Closed System Transfer Device (CSTD) is a system of components that allows the reconstitution of liquid or pre-dissolved powder drugs into infusion bags, flexible bottles or syringes. Single, partial or multiple vials can be used for each infusion solution container. The Chemfort® CSTD prevents contamination of the user or the environment by the drug through the use of elastomeric seals and an active carbon filter.
The components of the predicate Chemfort® CSTD system are:
- Vial Adaptor 20 mm with 13 mm Vial Converter
- Vial Adaptor 28 mm
- Vial Adaptor 32 mm
- Syringe Adaptor
- Syringe Adaptor Lock
- Luer Lock Adaptor
- Bag Adaptor SP
Each of the Chemfort® system components is available separately.
This submission introduces a new version of the 20mm Vial Adaptor to the Chemfort® CSTD system, called the Chemfort® 28-day 20 mm Vial Adaptor, as a range extension. This new Vial Adaptor differs from the predicate Vial Adaptor only with respect to the usage time limitation, which is extended from 7 to 28 days, but with the same limit of 10 activations. This change is reflected in the Indications for Use statement and the device labeling.

Dear Shay Shaham:
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.

Device Description
The Chemfort® Closed System Transfer Device (CSTD) is a system of components that allows the reconstitution of liquid or pre-dissolved powder drugs into infusion bags, flexible bottles or syringes. Single, partial or multiple vials can be used for each infusion solution container. The Chemfort® CSTD prevents contamination of the user or the environment by the drug through the use of elastomeric seals and an active carbon filter.
The components of the predicate Chemfort® CSTD system are:
- Vial Adaptor 20 mm with 13 mm Vial Converter
- Vial Adaptor 28 mm
- Vial Adaptor 32 mm
- Syringe Adaptor
- Syringe Adaptor Lock
- Luer Lock Adaptor
- Bag Adaptor SP
Each of the Chemfort® system components is available separately.
The Indications for Use statement for the predicate CSTD system cleared under K192866 is:
Chemfort is a Closed System Transfer Device (CSTD) that mechanically prohibits the release of drugs, including antineoplastic and hazardous drugs, in vapor, aerosol or liquid form during preparation, reconstitution, compounding and administration, minimizing exposure of individuals, healthcare personnel, and the environment to hazardous drugs.
Chemfort prevents the introduction of microbial and airborne contaminants into the drug or fluid path for up to 7 days.
In addition, the labeling for the predicate device includes the precautionary statement:
The ability to prevent microbial ingress for up to 7 days should not be interpreted as modifying, extending, or superseding manufacturer's labeling recommendations for the storage and expiration dating. Refer to drug manufacturer's recommendations and USP compounding guidelines for shelf life and sterility information.
This submission introduces a new version of the 20mm Vial Adaptor to the Chemfort® CSTD system, called the Chemfort® 28-day 20 mm Vial Adaptor, as a range extension. This new Vial Adaptor differs from the predicate Vial Adaptor only with respect to the usage time limitation, which is extended from 7 to 28 days, but with the same limit of 10 activations. This change is reflected in the Indications for Use statement and the device labeling, as follows (changes bolded and underlined):

Substantial Equivalence Discussion:
While the subject device differs from the predicate device in relation to the usage time limit, in all other respects, the subject device is identical to the 20 mm Vial Adaptor cleared as part of the predicate Chemfort® Closed System Transfer Device under K192886. These identical device characteristics are detailed in the following predicate device comparison table.

| Usage limitation | 28 days or 10 activations | 7 days or 10 activations | Different time limit |
The difference in usage time limitation has been verified by bench testing using the same test protocols used for the predicate Vial Adaptor, including the following characteristics:
- Microbial ingress
- Bidirectional Flow
- Vapor Containment
- Disconnection Force from Drug Vial
- Air Tightness
- Fluid Tightness
- Particulate Matter
Substantial Equivalence Conclusion:
Chemfort® 28-day 20 mm Vial Adaptor has similar indications for use, identical raw material, technological characteristics and principle of operation as the predicate device, the Chemfort® 20 mm Vial Adaptor included within cleared 510(k) submission K192866.
Simplivia has performed bench tests (see above) to ensure that the differences in usage time do not affect the device's safety and effectiveness. In addition, the exterior color of the 28-day 20 mm Vial Adaptor is unique to prevent mix-up with other Chemfort® Vial Adaptors.
The results of performance testing to the same protocols used for the predicate device demonstrate that the Chemfort® 28-day 20 mm Vial Adaptor is as safe and as effective as its predicate and does not raise any new questions of safety and effectiveness. Thus, Simplivia Healthcare's Chemfort® 28-day 20 mm Vial Adaptor is substantially equivalent to its predicate device, the Chemfort® 20 mm Vial Adaptor included within K192866.
§ 880.5440 Intravascular administration set.
(a)
Identification. An intravascular administration set is a device used to administer fluids from a container to a patient's vascular system through a needle or catheter inserted into a vein. The device may include the needle or catheter, tubing, a flow regulator, a drip chamber, an infusion line filter, an I.V. set stopcock, fluid delivery tubing, connectors between parts of the set, a side tube with a cap to serve as an injection site, and a hollow spike to penetrate and connect the tubing to an I.V. bag or other infusion fluid container.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for pharmacy compounding systems within this classification is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Pharmacy Compounding Systems; Final Guidance for Industry and FDA Reviewers.” Pharmacy compounding systems classified within the intravascular administration set are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of this part and subject to the limitations in § 880.9.
