Qitexio® 4-Way Stopcock is intended to serve as a flow control and delivery device for I.V. fluids injection to the patient's vascular system. The device is indicated for medium pressure injection of fluids. It is also used for delivery of Lipiodol® (Ethiodized Oil) injection. It is intended for single use only. The device is not indicated for use in infusion.
Qitexio® 4-Way Stopcock is intended to serve as a flow control and delivery device for I.V. fluids injection to the patient's vascular system. Qitexio® 4-Way Stopcock is not intended to facilitate bi-directional flows, thus is not designed to be used in infusion. Qitexio® 4-Way Stopcock is designated for single use only (disposable) and is MR safe. Qitexio® 4-Way Stopcock is robust under medium pressure and is verified to be used for Lipiodol (Ethiodized oil) delivery.
Qitexio® 4-Way Stopcock is made of a body with four ports (3 female and one male) and one handle with a L-Shape diverter. The L-shaped diverter opens two neighboring ports at the same time, creating a L-shaped communication channel. The male connector includes a mobile ring assembled on the end of male port, and it enables connection locking over female Luer. A small amount of lubricant is applied on the handle stem before placing it in the Stopcock body. The neighboring female port(s) is connected to the I.V. set to accept the delivered drug or fluid. One female port, that is on the opposite side of the male port, does not directly communicate with the patient (male port). This extra port is designed to enable users to inject multiple I.V. fluids, if needed.
The operating mechanism is manual and with a simple twisting handle position to determine direction of the fluids. Qitexio® 4-Way Stopcock has only two ports communicating at a time.

The p&p Safety Syringe consists of a calibrated hollow barrel (which can contain the medication) and the distal end of the barrel has Luer Lock Tip. The needle can be changed depending on the required gauge, since the syringe is compatible with general needles. The Safety Cap can be moved back and forth as safety feature. The safety cap has a printing mark "LOCK LINE". The adaptor is colored with medical grade blue pigment . The plunger and gasket are the same shape as the conventional syringes. When user gives the intramuscular/subcutaneous injection, he/she pushes the knob of the plunger to the end. After completing the intramuscular/ subcutaneous injection, the user turns the safety cap to the left side, and then pushes it forward until the marking ("LOCK LINE") on the safety cap touches the bottom line of the blue adaptor in order to lock the safety cap and the adaptor. The blue color of the adaptor allows the user to distinguish the locking position clearly and easily. Then the safety cap can no longer be moved back and forth, thus preventing needlestick injury. Then the syringe can be disposed in the appropriate sharps container. This is a simple and elegant design which is highly reliable.
The provided text describes a 510(k) submission for the "p&p Safety Syringe," seeking clearance based on substantial equivalence to a predicate device, the "SEZ safety syringe [K031163]". The document focuses on comparing the new device to the predicate device and does not contain detailed information about specific acceptance criteria or a dedicated study proving device performance against those criteria in a quantitative manner (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, etc.) as might be found for a diagnostic algorithm.
Instead, the "clinical investigation" mentioned is likely a human factors study or a performance study designed to demonstrate that the safety mechanism of the p&p Safety Syringe functions as intended and is comparable to or better than the predicate device in terms of preventing needlestick injuries, as per guidance documents like "Supplementary Guidance on Premarket Notifications for Medical Devices with Sharps Injury Prevention Features; Guidance for Industry and FDA."
Given the information provided, here's a breakdown, with acknowledgements of missing details:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The acceptance criteria are not explicitly stated as quantitative targets (e.g., "must achieve X% reduction in needlestick injuries"). Instead, the primary "acceptance criterion" appears to be substantial equivalence to the predicate device, the SEZ safety syringe [K031163], in terms of:
- Intended Use: Identical clinical application (intramuscular and subcutaneous injections, prevention of needlestick injuries).
- Principle of Operation: While the mechanism of activation differs, the outcome (locking the needle to prevent injury) is equivalent. The provided text details the steps for each device's safety feature activation.
- Performance Characteristics:
- Volume: 3ml/cc (Identical)
- Nozzle type: Male conical lock fitting (Luer Lock Tip) with rotatable internally threaded neck, functionally equivalent to the predicate's female conical lock fitting with rotatable internally threaded neck for needle attachment.
- Barrel Marking: Conforms to ISO7886-1:1993(E) (Identical)
- Reuse: Non-reusable (Identical)
- Biocompatibility: Conforms to ISO 10993-1 (Identical)
- Materials: Identical (Polypropylene, thermoplastic rubber, Medipeel film, Ethypel paper)
- Sterility: Sterilized by ethylene oxide gas, SAL = 10-6 (Identical)
The "reported device performance" is that "The results of the investigation showed that the p&p Safety Syringe is clinically acceptable" and "In all material respects, the p&p Safety Syringe is substantially equivalent to the predicate device." While not precise metrics, this is the reported performance against the overarching regulatory requirement of substantial equivalence.
| Acceptance Criteria (Implied by Substantial Equivalence to Predicate) | Reported Device Performance (p&p Safety Syringe) |
|---|---|
| Intended Use: Safety hypodermic syringe for intramuscular and subcutaneous injection, preventing needlestick injuries. | Identical |
| Volume (ml/cc): 3 | 3 |
| Nozzle type: Compatible with general needles, secure locking mechanism. | Male conical lock fitting (Luer Lock Tip) with rotatable internally threaded neck, allowing for needle changes. |
| Barrel Marking: Conforms to ISO7886-1:1993(E) | Identical |
| Reuse: Non-reusable | Identical |
| Biocompatibility: Conforms to ISO 10993-1 | Identical |
| Materials: Polypropylene, thermoplastic rubber, Medipeel film, Ethypel paper. | Identical |
| Sterility: Sterilized by ethylene oxide gas, SAL = 10-6 | Identical |
| Needlestick Injury Prevention: Effective safety feature comparable to predicate. | "Clinically acceptable" and "Substantially equivalent" to predicate based on a clinical investigation guided by "Supplementary Guidance on Premarket Notifications for Medical Devices with Sharps Injury Prevention Features." |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document mentions "A clinical investigation was performed," but does not specify the sample size used for the test set or the data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective). This information would typically be detailed in the full study report, which is not provided here.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications
This information is not provided in the document. For a medical device focused on safety features, "experts" might refer to healthcare professionals evaluating the ease of use and effectiveness of the safety mechanism.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This information is not provided.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study in the context of diagnostic AI (e.g., radiologists interpreting images with and without AI assistance) was not done. This submission is for a physical medical device (safety syringe), not a diagnostic algorithm. The "clinical investigation" mentioned would likely involve observational studies or human factors assessments of the syringe's physical safety mechanism.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
This question is not applicable as the device is a physical safety syringe, not a software algorithm.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" for a safety syringe would primarily be established through:
- Experimental testing: Verifying the mechanical function of the safety lock (e.g., does it consistently lock, can it be easily unlocked unintentionally).
- Human factors evaluation/clinical observation: Assessing whether healthcare professionals can effectively activate the safety mechanism in a clinical setting and if it demonstrably reduces the risk of needlestick injuries.
- Comparison to predicate device performance: Demonstrating that the new device performs at least as well as a legally marketed device in preventing injuries.
The document states, "A clinical investigation was performed, and test for the comparison between p&p Safety Syringe and the legally marketed predicate device was performed in accordance with 'Supplementary Guidance on Premarket Notifications for Medical Devices with Sharps Injury Prevention Features; Guidance for Industry and FDA'." This guidance would outline the expected methods to establish "ground truth" or evidence of effectiveness for such devices, which primarily relies on performance testing and potentially user studies to confirm the safety feature's efficacy.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
This question is not applicable as the device is a physical safety syringe and does not involve AI model training.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
This question is not applicable as the device is a physical safety syringe and does not involve AI model training.
