BD Pen Needle is intended for use with pen injector device for subcutaneous injection of drugs, including insulin and exenatide.

BD pen needles are single use, sterile, medical devices designed to be use in conjunction with pen injectors and pen cartridges. Pen needles are used by consumers, caregivers and health care professionals. They are offered in various gauge sizes (29G, 30G and 31G) and lengths (5mm, 8mm and 12.7mm). BD Pen Needles are sterile (gamma irradiation sterilization), nontoxic and non-pyrogenic. The pen needle assembly consists of a doubled-ended cannula that is assembled into an injection-molded hub using adhesive. The hub has internal threads, which allows it to be screwed onto the pen-injector device. This allows the Non Patient (NP) end of the cannula to penetrate through the rubber septum of the cartridge. The Patient end and NP end of the cannula are lubricated using a silicone based lube for ease of injection and rubber septum penetration. An injection-molded inner shield is assembled over the Patient end of the Cannula to protect the point from damage and accidental needlesticks. This needle assembly is inserted into a protective injection-molded outer cover and sealed with a peel-away (tear drop) label to provide sterility barrier and tamper evidence. The Outer cover is also used to remove the hub and cannula from the pen. The peel-away label is pre-printed with information, which includes the lot number and needle gauge / length. The individual needle assemblies are packaged in bags and / or cartons, and placed into shippers with appropriate labeling. The shipper cases are palletized and sterilized. The purpose of this 510(k) Premarket Notification is to expand the product offering to include a 32G x 4mm Pen Needle. The intended use for the modified device remains the same as the predicate device.

The BD Phoenix™ Automated Microbiology System is intended for the rapid identification and in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility testing of isolates from pure culture of most aerobic and facultative anaerobic gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria of human origin. The BD Phoenix™ Automated Microbiology System is intended for in vitro quantitative determination of antimicrobial susceptibility by minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of most gram-negative aerobic and facultative anaerobic bacteria isolates from pure culture for Enterobacteriaceae and Nonand ractive and most gram-positive bacteria isolates from pure culture belonging to the genera Staphylococcus and Enterococcus. This premarket notification is for the addition of the antimicrobial agent Piperacillin at concentrations of I this premarks normounter is to the SST only Phoenix panels. Piperacillin has been shown to 0.5-120 pg miro against most strains of microorganisms listed below, as described in the FDA-approved package insert for this antimicrobial agent.

The BD Phoenix Automated Microbiology System (Phoenix System) is an automated system for the rapid identification (ID) and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) of clinically relevant bacterial isolates. The system includes the following components: - BD Phoenix instrument and software. . - BD Phoenix panels containing biochemicals for organism ID testing and antimicrobial agents . for AST determinations. - BD Phoenix ID Broth used for performing ID tests and preparing AST Broth inoculum. . - BD Phoenix AST Broth used for performing AST tests only. . - BD Phoenix AST Indicator solution added to the AST Broth to aid in bacterial growth . determination. The Phoenix panel is a sealed and self-inoculating molded polystyrene tray with 136 micro-wells containing dried reagents. Organisms for susceptibility testing must be a pure culture and preliminarily identified as a gram-negative or gram-positive isolate. For each isolate, an inoculation equivalent to a 0.5 McFarland standard is prepared in Phoenix ID Broth. The Phoenix AST method is a broth based microdilution test. The Phoenix System utilizes a redox indicator for the detection of organism growth in the presence of an antimicrobial agent. Measurements of changes to the indicator as well as bacterial turbidity are used in the determination Macterial growth. Each AST panel configuration contains several antimicrobial agents with a wide range of two-fold doubling dilution concentrations. The instrument houses the panels where they are continuously incubated at a nominal temperature of 35°C. The instrument takes readings of the panels every 20 minutes. The readings are interpreted to give an identification of the isolate, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values and category interpretations, S, I, or R (sensitive, intermediate, or resistant).
