20G x 5/8 Pro-Lock CT Safety Infusion Set
The Medcomp® Pro-Lock™ CT Safety Infusion Set is intended for use in the administration of fluids and drugs as well as blood sample through implanted vascular access ports. The Medcomp® Pro-Lock™ CT Safety Infusion Set is also indicated for power injection of contrast media into the central venous system with implanted vascular access ports indicated for power injection. The maximum recommended infusion rate at 11.8 cPs is 5ml/sec for 20 gauge non-coring Huber style needles.
The 20G x 5/8" (15mm) Pro-Lock™ CT Safety Infusion Set is composed of a Huber style needle for port septum access having a safety feature designed to prevent accidental needle sticks and automatically activate during needle removal. The needle is connected to a conventional style extension set. The proximal end of the extensions tubing attaches to a female Luer connector with removable cap creating a fluid path to the port. A non-removable pinch clamp is located between the female Luer and needle cannula which is designed to restrict fluid flow through the extension tubing when engaged.
The needle cannula is constructed with a Huber style needle. The cannula is stainless steel and is shielded by a removable star needle guard of plastic construction.

The Medcomp Pro-Lock CT Safety Infusion Set is also indicated for power injection of contrast media into the central venous system with implanted vascular access ports indicated for power injection. The maximum recommended infusion rate at 11.8 cPs is 5ml/sec for 20 gauge non-coring Huber style needles.
The 20G x ¾" (19mm) Pro-Lock™ CT Safety Infusion Set is composed of a Huber style needle for port septum access having a safety feature designed to aid in the prevention accidental needle sticks when manually activated during needle removal. The needle is connected to a conventional style extension set. The proximal end of the extensions tubing attaches to a female Luer connector with removable cap creating a fluid path to the port. A nonremovable pinch clamp is located between the female Luer and needle cannula which is designed to restrict fluid flow through the extension tubing when engaged. The needle cannula is constructed with a Huber style needle. The cannula is stainless steel and is shielded by a removable star needle guard of plastic construction.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not specify the exact sample sizes (number of units tested) for each of the performance and biocompatibility tests. It only lists the tests performed and the relevant standards. These tests are laboratory-based, non-clinical tests.
- Data Provenance: The tests are "bench / performance data / non-clinical testing" conducted by the manufacturer, Medcomp®, located in Harleysville, Pennsylvania, USA. The data is retrospective in the sense that it was generated prior to the 510(k) submission to demonstrate the device's characteristics.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
This question is not applicable. The "ground truth" here is established by the accepted international and internal test methods and standards (e.g., ISO, ASTM), not by expert consensus in a clinical scenario. The tests are designed to objectively measure physical, chemical, and biological properties.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This question is not applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are used in clinical trials, particularly for imaging studies where subjective interpretation is involved. These are objective, quantitative, non-clinical laboratory tests where the results are measured against defined criteria within the standard.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
This question is not applicable. This is a physical medical device (an infusion set), not an AI/ML diagnostic or assistive device. No human-in-the-loop study with AI was performed.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
This question is not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an AI algorithm.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" or basis for evaluation is defined by:
- Established Industry Standards: ISO and ASTM standards (e.g., ISO 10555-1, ISO 10993 series, ASTM F2052, etc.) that specify test methods and acceptable limits for medical devices of this type.
- Internal Test Methods: Where no specific external standard exists, internal test methods are used, and their validity is implicitly accepted by the FDA's clearance.
- Substantial Equivalence: The primary "ground truth" for 510(k) clearance is demonstrating that the new device is as safe and effective as a legally marketed predicate device (K132880) through comparison of design, materials, indications for use, and performance testing.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
This question is not applicable. This device does not involve a "training set" for an AI/ML algorithm.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
This question is not applicable, as there is no training set for an AI/ML algorithm.

SAFETY INFUSION SET
The VACUETTE® SAFETY Infusion Set is a single-use, sterile, winged blood collection needle bonded to a flexible tubing with a luer connector. The VACUETTE® SAFETY Infusion Set is used for blood collection and/or the short-term infusion of intravenous fluids. The winged needle is designed with a safety shield, which can be activated to cover the needle immediately following venipuncture to aid in the protection against accidental needlestick injury.
The Greiner VACUETTE® SAFETY Infusion Set is a single-use, sterile, winged infusion and blood collection needle bonded to flexible tubing with a female luer adapter. The VACUETTE® SAFETY Infusion Set is used for short-term administration of intravenous fluids and/or for blood collection. The winged needle is designed with a safety shield, which can be activated to cover the needle immediately following venipuncture to aid in the protection against accidental needlestick injury. The product is to be used by appropriately trained healthcare professionals only in accordance with manufacturer's instructions. It can be used in conjunction with an intravascular administration set or with a syringe or other device in order to administer fluids. The safety feature is easily operated through the release of a latch mechanism whereby the user slides a winged cover over the needle, as it is removed from the patient. Once the needle is covered, the safety cover locks in place. The devices are packaged as sterile and are labeled for single use only. There is no ability to clean and reuse these devices because the safety feature cannot be deactivated without bending the needle and rendering it unusable.
Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the Greiner VACUETTE® SAFETY Infusion Set (K121908), focusing on the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them.
It's important to note that the provided documents are 510(k) Pre-market Notification summaries and FDA letters, not a detailed study report. Therefore, information typical of a comprehensive study (like specific sample sizes for test sets, data provenance, number and qualifications of experts, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, or training set details) is generally not present in these types of regulatory submissions, especially for device modifications. These submissions primarily demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device.
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance (as inferred from the submission)
The primary acceptance criteria for this 510(k) submission are related to demonstrating substantial equivalence to the predicate device, specifically after a modification. This means the modified device must perform equivalently, without raising new questions of safety or effectiveness.
Acceptance Criteria (Inferred) | Reported Device Performance (Implied by Substantial Equivalence) |
---|---|
Safety Feature Functionality: The safety shield must effectively cover the needle immediately following venipuncture to protect against accidental needlestick injury, and lock in place. | The safety feature is described as "easily operated through the release of a latch mechanism whereby the user slides a winged cover over the needle... Once the needle is covered, the safety cover locks in place." This implies equivalent or maintained functionality as the predicate. The device is also labeled for single use, with no ability to deactivate the safety feature for reuse. |
Intended Use: Device must remain suitable for blood collection and/or short-term infusion of intravenous fluids. | The intended use is re-stated exactly as per the predicate device: "used for blood collection and/or the short-term infusion of intravenous fluids." |
Sterility: The device must be sterile. | The devices are packaged as sterile. |
Single-Use: The device must be designed for single use only, with no ability to clean and reuse. | The devices are labeled for single use only, and the safety feature cannot be deactivated without rendering it unusable, precluding reuse. |
Fundamental Scientific Technology: The underlying technology must remain the same as the predicate. | Explicitly stated: "The Greiner VACUETTE® SAFETY Infusion Set is substantially equivalent to the predicate device in fundamental scientific technology, intended use, and materials." |
Materials: The materials used must be equivalent to the predicate device. | Explicitly stated: "substantially equivalent to the predicate device in... materials." |
Additional Needle Gauges and Tubing Length (Specific to this modification): The new gauges and lengths must integrate safely and effectively with the existing design. | This submission is for the modification to include "additional needle gauges and tubing length." The FDA's clearance implies that the sponsor provided sufficient data (likely non-clinical testing) to demonstrate that these additions do not negatively impact safety or effectiveness and maintain substantial equivalence. The document does not detail how this was proven, but rather that the modification was accepted. |
Study Details to Prove Acceptance Criteria:
Given the nature of the primary document (510(k) Summary for a device modification involving different sizes), a "study" in the traditional sense of a clinical trial with human subjects testing AI performance is not applicable here. The "study" is more accurately a design verification and validation process, primarily relying on non-clinical performance testing and comparison to a legally marketed predicate device.
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Sample Size: Not specified in the provided documents. For device modifications involving physical dimensions (like needle gauge and tubing length), the "test set" would typically involve multiple units of each new configuration manufactured and subjected to various engineering and performance tests (e.g., flow rate, safety activation force, material integrity, bond strength). The specific number of units tested would be detailed in the sponsor's test reports, which are not included in this summary.
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but assumed to be internal testing conducted by Greiner Bio-One North America, Inc. at their facilities or through qualified contract labs, consistent with manufacturing quality systems. This would be prospective testing of the modified device's technical specifications.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Not Applicable. This is a medical device modification related to physical dimensions and core safety features, not a diagnostic AI tool requiring expert image interpretation. Ground truth would be established by objective measurements (e.g., flow rates, force measurements, dimensional checks) against engineering specifications and regulatory standards, not expert consensus on diagnostic interpretations.
-
Adjudication method for the test set:
- Not Applicable. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are used for expert consensus on subjective data (e.g., imaging reads). For this device, performance is evaluated against objective, measurable criteria and pre-defined acceptance limits in a controlled testing environment.
-
If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:
- Not Applicable. This device is a manual medical instrument (an infusion set), not an AI diagnostic tool. Therefore, MRMC studies are irrelevant.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Not Applicable. No algorithms or AI are mentioned or implied for the function of this infusion set.
-
The type of ground truth used:
- The "ground truth" for this device modification would be based on objective engineering specifications, material properties, performance standards (e.g., ISO standards for medical devices), and a comparison to the established performance of the predicate device. This involves:
- Dimensional measurements for new needle gauges and tubing lengths.
- Mechanical strength tests (e.g., bond strength of tubing to luer, integrity of safety mechanism).
- Flow rate testing for infusion and blood collection (to ensure new dimensions don't hinder performance outside acceptable ranges).
- Safety mechanism activation/lock tests to confirm user-friendliness and security.
- Sterility testing (biological indicators or validated sterilization processes).
- These are all objective, verifiable data points rather than subjective expert consensus.
- The "ground truth" for this device modification would be based on objective engineering specifications, material properties, performance standards (e.g., ISO standards for medical devices), and a comparison to the established performance of the predicate device. This involves:
-
The sample size for the training set:
- Not Applicable. As this is not an AI/ML device, there is no "training set."
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not Applicable. No training set.
Summary of the "Study" (Design Verification & Validation):
The documentation states that the device is "substantially equivalent to the predicate device in fundamental scientific technology, intended use, and materials." This is the core "proof" presented in a 510(k) for a minor modification.
For this specific modification (additional needle gauges and tubing length), the sponsor (Greiner Bio-One) would have conducted various non-clinical performance tests to demonstrate that these changes maintain the safety and effectiveness profile of the cleared predicate device (K080235). These tests would typically include:
- Mechanical testing: To ensure the integrity of the new configurations and the safety mechanism.
- Flow rate testing: To confirm the functionality for blood collection and fluid infusion across the new sizes.
- Dimensional verification: To ensure manufacturing accuracy.
- Material compatibility: Confirmation that the materials for the new sizes are the same or equivalent to the predicate.
- Biocompatibility: (If new materials were introduced, though not implied here).
- Sterilization validation: To confirm the sterilization process remains effective for the new sizes.
The FDA's clearance (JUL 25 2012) indicates they reviewed these underlying test results (summarized by the sponsor) and agreed that substantial equivalence was demonstrated, and the modifications did not raise new safety or effectiveness concerns.

The study summary does not include specific testing or performance data related to the effectiveness of the needle stick prevention feature. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
- Sample Size for Test Set:
- For the performance tests (Dynamic Failure Flow, Instantaneous Burst, Static Pressure, Life Cycle Power Injection Tests), a specific sample size is not explicitly stated in the provided summary.
- For Bioburden testing, nine individual infusion sets were tested.
- Data Provenance: The data appears to be prospective testing conducted by Cook Vascular, Inc. or its contractors. The country of origin is implicitly the USA, where Cook Vascular, Inc. is based and the submission was made to the FDA.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts:
- Not applicable for this type of device and study. The testing described involves engineering and microbiological performance metrics, not clinical interpretation by experts to establish a "ground truth." The ground truth is objective performance characteristics measured through laboratory testing.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
- Not applicable. This study involves objective laboratory tests with measurable outcomes, not subjective assessments requiring adjudication by multiple experts.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, If So, What Was the Effect Size of How Much Human Readers Improve with AI vs. Without AI Assistance:
- No. This document describes a 510(k) submission for a physical medical device (infusion set), not an AI/software-as-a-medical-device. Therefore, no MRMC study or AI-related comparative effectiveness was performed or applicable.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done:
- No. As mentioned, this is not an AI/algorithm-based device.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:
- The "ground truth" for the performance tests (flow, pressure, burst, life cycle) are engineering specifications and physical measurements designed to assess the device's functional integrity under intended use conditions.
- The "ground truth" for sterilization tests (Bioburden, Endotoxin, EO Residuals, Sterility) are established microbiological and chemical standards for medical device sterilization.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:
- Not applicable. There is no "training set" as this is not an AI/machine learning device. The design, components, and manufacturing processes leverage those of a previously cleared predicate device (K033515 HuberPRO™ Safety Huber Infusion Set), which serves as a benchmark for substantial equivalence rather than a training set in the AI sense.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:
- Not applicable. As there is no training set, there's no ground truth established for one. The basis for safety and effectiveness is substantial equivalence to a predicate device, supported by the described physical and microbiological testing.

The VACUETTE® Safety Infusion Set is a single-use, sterile, winged blood collection needle bonded to a flexible tubing with a luer connector. The VACUETTE® Safety Infusion Set is used for blood collection and/or the short-term infusion of intravenous fluids. The winged needle is designed with a safety shield, which can be activated to cover the needle immediately following venipuncture to aid in the protection against accidental needlestick injury. The safety feature is easily operated through the release of a latch mechanism whereby the user slides a winged cover over the needle, as it is removed from the patient. Once the needle is covered, the safety cover locks in place. The VACUETTE® Safety Infusion Set will be available in 2 configurations of needle gauge (21G and 23G) and one tubing length (7.5 inches). The devices are packaged as sterile and are labeled for single use only. There is no ability to clean and reuse these devices. The devices were tested for sterility, pyrogenicity and systemic injection testing and were found to be biocompatible.
The provided text describes a 510(k) submission for the VACUETTE® Safety Infusion Set. This is a medical device application that demonstrates substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than a study proving performance against acceptance criteria in the same way one would for a novel AI algorithm or diagnostic test.
Therefore, many of the requested categories in your prompt (e.g., sample size for test/training sets, number of experts, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, types of ground truth) are not applicable to this type of regulatory submission. The submission focuses on demonstrating that the new device is as safe and effective as a previously cleared device.
Here's an analysis based on the available information:
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance
Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|
Substantial Equivalence to Nipro® SafeTouch Safety Scalp Vein Set (for intended use) | The VACUETTE® Safety Infusion Set is deemed substantially equivalent in intended use to the Nipro® SafeTouch Safety Scalp Vein Set. |
Design, safety feature, raw materials, biocompatibility, and performance identical to Greiner VACUETTE® Safety Blood Collection Set (K011786) | The device's design, safety feature (latch mechanism, winged cover, locking), raw materials, biocompatibility, and performance are identical to K011786. |
Sterility | Devices were tested for sterility and found to be sterile. |
Pyrogenicity | Devices were tested for pyrogenicity. (Result implies compliance). |
Systemic Injection (Biocompatibility) | Devices underwent systemic injection testing and were found to be biocompatible. |
Explanation: The "acceptance criteria" for a 510(k) are primarily demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device. This means showing that the new device has the same intended use and similar technological characteristics, or if there are differences, that those differences do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. The performance is assessed against the predicate and established standards for medical devices (like sterility and biocompatibility).
Study Details (as applicable)
- Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable. This is not a study assessing performance on a "test set" in the context of an AI algorithm or diagnostic test. The evaluation is based on comparison to a predicate device and standard device testing.
- Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. Ground truth, in the sense of expert consensus for a diagnostic outcome, is not relevant here.
- Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable.
- If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance: Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an AI or diagnostic tool involving human readers.
- If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable.
- The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.): The "ground truth" for this type of device is regulatory compliance, established manufacturing standards, and the safety and effectiveness profile of the predicate device. For specific tests like sterility and biocompatibility, the ground truth is defined by validated testing methodologies and acceptable limits for those tests.
- The sample size for the training set: Not applicable.
- How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.
Summary based on the document:
The VACUETTE® Safety Infusion Set gained 510(k) clearance by demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, the Nipro® SafeTouch Safety Scalp Vein Set (K011297). Furthermore, its design, safety feature mechanism, raw materials, biocompatibility, and overall performance were declared identical to the previously FDA-cleared Greiner VACUETTE® Safety Blood Collection Set (K011786), which serves as a "new intended use" predicate for those specific aspects.
The submission confirms that the device underwent standard testing for sterility, pyrogenicity, and systemic injection, and was found to be biocompatible. These tests are presumably performed on a representative sample of manufactured devices, according to established medical device standards, to ensure they meet predefined safety thresholds. The document does not specify the sample sizes for these tests, which is typical for 510(k) summaries where detailed test protocols are not typically disclosed. The data provenance for these tests would almost certainly be internal company testing.

Upon activation of the safety mechanism, the total function of the EZ Huber Safety Infusion Set is complete and the unit is discarded in accordance with hospital protocol. Components will be assembled into standard configurations or configurations specified by the customer and packaged. Types of components that may be contained in a set include: Huber Housing, Huber Wing, Spring, Needle Cannula, Needle Sheath Tubing, PE lined Foam Pad, Pinch Clamp, Female Luer Dust Cap, Y-site, Swabable Y-site, Medegen.
The provided text is a 510(k) Summary of Safety and Effectiveness for the EZ Huber Safety Infusion Set. This document is for a medical device (intravascular administration set) and primarily focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices, rather than presenting a performance study with detailed acceptance criteria and statistical analysis.
Therefore, the information required to populate the requested table and answer the specific questions about acceptance criteria and study details for device performance is largely not present in the provided text. The document describes the device, its intended use, and biocompatibility, but it does not include a clinical study or performance testing with quantitative acceptance criteria.
Here's what can be extracted based on the provided text, and where information is missing:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|
(Not specified in the provided text) | (Not specified in the provided text) |
Example (if present): Needle-stick prevention rate > 95% | Example (if present): Achieved 98% needle-stick prevention |

4. Adjudication method for the test set
- Not applicable. No performance study with adjudication is described.
5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, if so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
- Not applicable. This device is not an AI-powered diagnostic tool, and no MRMC study is mentioned.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Not applicable. This is not an algorithm, but a physical medical device.
7. The type of ground truth used
- Not applicable. No performance study requiring ground truth is described.

- Life Cycle Power Injection Test: 10
- Cyclic testing: 30, 10 cycles per port
- Port Patency Verification: 5
- Port Occlusion Test: 10
- Puncture Life: 2
- Data Provenance: The data is from non-clinical testing. There is no mention of country of origin for the data (as it's laboratory-based testing, not human patient data) and it is inherently prospective as it involves conducting specific tests on the devices.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and the Qualifications of Those Experts
Not applicable. This is a submission for a physical medical device (Vortex® CT Port Access System and LifeGuard® Safety Infusion Set) and the testing performed is non-clinical/pre-clinical (laboratory-based physical and performance testing), not involving human interpretative tasks or diagnostic assessment. Therefore, no experts were used to establish ground truth in the context of diagnostic accuracy, and no qualifications of such experts are relevant.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable, for the same reasons as point 3. The tests are objective physical and performance measurements with defined pass/fail criteria, not subjective assessments requiring adjudication.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
Not applicable. This device is a physical medical port and infusion set, not an AI or imaging diagnostic tool. Therefore, MRMC studies and AI assistance are not relevant to its evaluation.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This device is a physical medical product, not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
The "ground truth" for the non-clinical tests is based on pre-defined engineering specifications and performance requirements. These are objective, measurable outcomes (e.g., "no bursts, leaks, / plastic deformations allowed," "meet expected flow rate and pressure withstand requirements," "withstand 10 cycles").
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. Since this is a physical medical device and not an AI/machine learning model, there is no "training set."
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable, for the same reason as point 8.
