The Facet Aurora Reusable Lancet Base (commonly referred to as a lancing device) is a non-sterile reusable device which provides a spring-loaded mechanism to quickly eject and retract a lancet of proprietary design to effect a lancing event for the purpose of obtaining a droplet of capillary blood for diagnostic testing in children, adolescents, and adults in a home setting. The device is designed to be cleaned and disinfected between uses on a single patient.

The Facet Aurora Reuseable Lancet Base is a blood sampling device used in conjunction with a lancet blade of proprietary design to obtain a sample of capillary blood for diagnostic purposes, primarily for blood glucose monitoring in diabetic patients. The lancing device has been in commercial distribution in the United States for over 10 years. There have been no significant design changes over the life of the device.

The CareFine Pen Needle™ is intended for use with a pen injector device for the subculaneous injection of insulin

CareFine™ Pen Needles are single use, sterile medical devices designed to be used in conjunction with pen injectors and pen cartridges for the subcutaneous injection of insulin. Pen needles are used by consumers, caregivers and health care professionals. They are offered in various gauge sizes (29G, 30G, 31G and 32G) and the blue needle shield will be offered in 8mm length. CareFine™ Pen Needles are sterile by EtO terminal sterilization, and they are non-toxic 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 allow it to be screwed onto the pen injector device. This allows the cartridge end of the cannula to penetrate through the rubber septum of the cartridge. The patient-end and the cartridgeend of the cannula are lubricated using a silicone based lubricant 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 needle-sticks. This needle assembly is inserted into a protective injection-molded outer cover and sealed with a peel-away label to provide a sterile barrier and tamper evident seal. The peel-away label is pre-printed with information, which includes the lot number, needle gauge and needle length. The individual needle assemblies are packaged in cartons, and placed into shippers with appropriate labeling. The shipper cases are palletized and sterilized to a SAL of 10° by EtO terminal sterilization. The purpose of this Special 510(k) is to request modification to our CareFine™ Pen Needle family to include blue colored inner needle shield to distinguish the 8mm needle length. The intended use for the modified device remains the same as the predicate device.

It is also Facet's intent to notify the Agency of non-significant changes to the cannula point bevel geometry. There are two additional needle point geometries being offered: a 5 bevel configuration corresponding to the QuintaPoint™ marketed name, and a second needle tip geometry identified as the SuperPoint™. The intended use for the modified device remains the same as the predicate device.
