Indications for Use
The SteadiSet infusion set is indicated for the subcutaneous infusion of insulin administered by an external pump. The infusion set is indicated for single use. Rx – For Prescription Use Only SteadiSet infusion set is neither intended nor indicated for use with blood, blood products, or intravenous infusion (IV). Replace the infusion set and tubing every 2-7 days per your healthcare professional's instructions. The infusion set should be removed if unexplained hyperglycemia is not correcting with insulin boluses, which may occur prior to the maximum wear time of 7 days. The infusion set should be removed if there is a significant increase in total daily insulin prior to the maximum wear time of 7 days. SteadiSet Infusion Set is a single-use device and should be disposed of immediately after use. Do not clean, re-sterilize, or re-use the set. This may cause damage to the set and may lead to infection, site irritation, or inaccurate delivery. SteadiSet is not indicated for use in an MRI environment or during radiation therapy. Remove the infusion set prior to MRI or radiation therapy. The SteadiSet infusion set with t:lock tubing connector should only be used with Tandem cartridges featuring the t:lock connector.
Device Story
SteadiSet is a sterile, single-use, intravascular administration set for subcutaneous insulin delivery from an external pump reservoir to a patient. Components include an inserter (housing, buttons, hub with soft polymer cannula over stainless-steel coil, adhesive patch), tube set, and disconnect cover. Inserter facilitates subcutaneous cannula placement. Tube set connects hub to pump cartridge via t:lock connector. Used in home settings by patients with Type 1 Diabetes. Healthcare providers prescribe the device; patients perform self-insertion and set changes. Output is continuous insulin delivery. Device wear period is 2-7 days. Benefits include extended wear duration compared to previous 2-3 day limit, reducing frequency of site changes and associated skin trauma/inconvenience. Clinical decision-making relies on patient monitoring for hyperglycemia or increased insulin requirements, necessitating early removal if failure occurs.
Clinical Evidence
Prospective, multicenter, single-arm study (N=260 adults with T1D). Primary objective: evaluate device function via absence of failure due to uncontrolled hyperglycemia/ketosis. Primary endpoint: percentage of successfully inserted sets not withdrawn prior to 7 days due to hyperglycemia/ketosis or investigator advice. Results: 78.4% overall survival rate at 7 days. 11.7% cumulative failure rate due to hyperglycemia/ketosis by day 7. HbA1c change from baseline to 12 weeks was +0.1% (not clinically significant). Safety data showed 46 adverse device effects (mostly site reactions) in 37 participants. Study supports 7-day wear duration.
Technological Characteristics
Sterile, non-pyrogenic intravascular administration set. Cannula: soft medical-grade polymer over stainless-steel coil. Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide (ETO). Connectivity: t:lock connector for Tandem cartridges. Single-patient, single-use. Complies with ISO 10555-1 (catheters), ISO 10993 (biocompatibility), ISO 11135 (ETO sterilization), and ISO 80369-6 (connectors).
Indications for Use
Indicated for subcutaneous insulin infusion via external pump in patients with Type 1 Diabetes requiring insulin therapy. Single-use only. Contraindicated for use with blood/blood products, IV infusion, MRI environments, or radiation therapy.
Regulatory Classification
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.
Special Controls
*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.

## III Device Description
The device is a sterile, non-pyrogenic, intravascular administration set device used to administer insulin from a reservoir cartridge to a patient subcutaneously through a cannula. The infusion set administers insulin by means of a compatible external pump. The infusion set consists of an inserter, tube set, and disconnect cover. The inserter consists of a housing, insertion buttons, an infusion set hub (with cannula) and adhesive patch with protective liner. The inserter facilitates insertion of the cannula subcutaneously. The cannula is a soft medical-grade polymer extruded over a stainless-steel coil.
The tube set provides the insulin pathway between the hub's indwelling cannula and an external insulin pump cartridge. The tube set consists of infusion set tubing with a reservoir connector (proximal end) and hub connector (distal end). The disconnect cover can be connected to the hub to provide cover when the infusion set tubing is disconnected from the hub.
The device is sterilized by Ethylene Oxide (ETO) and is a single-patient, single-use device to be used for up to 7 days.

# Clinical Testing
The sponsor conducted a clinical study to evaluate the performance of the SteadiSet insulin infusion set. For this study, the infusion set with the longest length (43 inches) was used. Subjects were instructed to change their insulin cartridge every 48-72 hours, as recommended by their healthcare provider and were instructed to change their insulin cartridge and infusion set independent of each other, following the instructions for use.

# Efficacy Results
Infusion Set Survival
{10}
The overall survival rate for infusion sets lasting at least 7 days, considering all possible reasons for device removal, was 78.4% (80.5% for Humalog and 76.4% for NovoLog). Possible reasons for device removal prior to 7 days included 30 sets taken out before 8 hours; 5 sets removed for an MRI or CT scan; 4 sets removed for convenience in conjunction with a cartridge change when running low on insulin; 1 set removed to avoid a set change during an upcoming trip; 1 set removed for temporary reversion to personal insulin pump after study pump malfunction; 1 set accidentally removed by participant due to confusion about study protocol; 25 sets removed at site request after participant inserted additional set beyond the maximum specified wear period per protocol (they inserted a 13th set); 3 sets removed at site request as a precaution after discovery of improper shipping procedures, and all primary, secondary, and other reasons.

## Discussion of Clinical Study Results
Past day 3 of the study, results showed trends towards decreasing time in range, increasing time above range, increasing mean glucose, and increasing total daily dose of insulin use on average for the study participants over the duration of the device wear period during this 12-week clinical study.
The overall change in HbA1c observed from baseline to the end of the 12-week study was an increase of 0.1 and was not considered to be clinically significant. An additional analysis of HbA1c change for study participants that had average infusion set wear durations of at least 7 days or less than 7 days did not show a clear correlation between increasing average infusion set wear time and worsening HbA1c. Average observed change in HbA1c was zero for subjects who averaged less than 7 days of wear per infusion set, and an increase of 0.1 for subjects who averaged at least 7 days of wear. This difference was not considered to be clinically significant.
The overall standard deviation in HbA1c change from baseline for study participants was 0.7. As with other aspects of diabetes management and insulin therapy, individualization of device use may be appropriate. The recommended duration of device use is between 2 to 7 days, which allows for patients and their healthcare providers to individualize device use as needed based on real world use.
