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.

| Classification Name: | Percutaneous intravascular catheter. |
Predicate Device: Sterling Medivations Simplicity Soft QD II Infusion Set, FDA 510 (k) K 020990 and Sterling Medivations Simplicity Soft YP Infusion Set K011187.
Description of the New Device: Sterling Medivations Inc.'s ("SMI") Simplicity™ QD Easy P Infusion Set is designed to provide a means for infusion and/or injection of fluids into the body below the surface of the skin when attached to the MiniMed Paradigm infusion pump or syringe.
The Simplicity QD Easy P Infusion Set is designed for use by people with diabetes to provide a means to infuse or inject medication subcutaneously when attached to the MiniMed Paradigm infusion pump or syringe. It is inserted into the subcutaneous tissue of a patient and the Simplicity YP connector is attached to the medication reservoir. This is substantially equivalent to the predicate device and it has the same intended use.
The device consists of four main parts: (1) an infusion catheter made from PTFE, (2) an infusion hub that provides the patient the capability of disconnecting tube from the infusion catheter, (3) a connecting tube and (4) a Simplicity YP connector consisting of a needle hub and reusable pump adapter and reservoir connector.
The Simplicity QD Easy P Infusion Set is an infusion administration set, connecting to the Paradigm reservoir by means of a Simplicity YP connector consisting of a needle hub and reusable pump adapter and reservoir connector and subcutaneously in the patient through an indwelling catheter made of Polytetrafluorthylene (PTFE). The Sterling Medivations Simplicity QD Easy P Infusion Set may be used with any paradigm infusion device that delivers continuous or intermittent flow. The connecting tubing is made from a polyethylene tube.
The 25 gauge-indwelling catheter is introduced into the subcutaneous tissue by a removable 27-gauge insertion needle formed from a lumen made of AISI 304 stainless steel. The insertion needle is removed and a connector needle is attached to the indwelling catheter. This connector needle mates with the indwelling catheter forming a seal that permits the infusion of medication without leakage. The connector needle is made from AISI 304 stainless steel and it is connected to the connecting tubing with a connector housing. The connector tubing proximal end is attached to a Simplicity YP connector consisting of a needle hub and reusable pump adapter and reservoir connector for connection to a MiniMed Paradigm pump and reservoir. The connecting tube is solvent bonded to the connector housing and to the needle hub connector.

Intended Use of the New Device: The intended use of the Simplicity QD Easy P Infusion Set is to provide a means for infusion and/or injection of fluids into the body below the surface of the skin when attached to the MiniMed Paradigm infusion pump or syringe when attached to the MiniMed Paradigm infusion pump or syringe. The Simplicity QD Easy Infusion Set is substantially equivalent to the Sterling Medivations Simplicity Soft YP Infusion Set K01187 and Simplicity Soft QD II Infusion Set, FDA 510 (k) K 020990.
## Comparison of the Technological Features of the New Device and Predicate Device:
The Simplicity QD Easy P Infusion Set proposed for commercial distribution is similar in all significant respects to the existing Sterling Medivations Simplicity Soft YP Infusion Set K011187 and Simplicity Soft QD II Infusion Set, FDA 510 (k) K 020990.
The materials and manufacturing processes are substantially equivalent, the labeling is substantially equivalent and it has the same intended use as the Sterling Medivations Simplicity QD Easy P Infusion.
The differences that exist between the new and predicate device are as follows:
- The new device proximal end is a Simplicity YP connector consisting of needle hub and reusable 1. pump adapter and reservoir connector used to attach to a MiniMed Paradigm infusion pumps and reservoir in place of a Luer fitting. It is currently used on the Sterling Medivations Simplicity Soft YP Infusion Set K011187 and the Device is otherwise similar to the Simplicity Soft QD II Infusion Set, FDA 510 (k) K 020990.
Performance Data Supporting Substantial Equivalence: To prove substantial equivalence both Simplicity QD Easy P Infusion Set and Sterling Medivations Simplicity Soft QD II Set FDA 510(k) K020990 meet the catheter requirements of:
- CDRH 21 C.F.R. Section 880.5440 Intravascular administration set .
- ISO 10555 Sterile, single use intravascular catheters (Part 1: General Requirements) .
- . ISO 10555 Sterile, single use intravascular catheters (Part 5: Peripheral Catheters).
- . ISO 11135:1994 Medical devices -- Validation and routine control of ethylene oxide sterilization
- ISO 11138-2:1994 Sterilization of health care products -- Biological indicators -- Part 2: Biological . indicators for ethylene oxide sterilization.
- . ISO 9626: 1991 Stainless Steel needle tubing for the manufacture of medical devices.
- . ISO 11607: 1997 Packaging for terminally sterilized medical devices.
- . ISO 8535: 1991 Sterile single use syringes, with or without needle, for insulin.
- . FDA Guidelines on validation of the Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) Test as an end product endotoxin test for human and animal parenteral drugs, biological products, and medical devices.
- . ODE Blue Book Memorandum #K90-1.
- ISO 10993-1, Biological evaluation of medical devices Part 1: Evaluation and testing. .
And the design process adhered to is the Center for Devices and Radiological Health. DESIGN CONTROL GUIDANCE FOR MEDICAL DEVICE MANUFACTURERS. This Guidance relates to FDA 21 CFR 820.30 and Sub-clause 4.4 of ISO 9001. This is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
