Its primary intended use and indication for use is to provide safe, accurate and reliable method of injecting medication into a patient, subcutaneous as well as intramuscular. Its secondary intended use and indication for use is to retract and contain the contaminated needle after injection and render the syringe inoperable for further injections while not introducing any additional steps to the one-handed operation method, for the purpose of introducing any accidental needle stick injuries that would be occurring between anding in the provention and disposing it into the Sharps container. ## Device Story MedSafe ClickSafe™ is a 3cc manual, plunger-type safety syringe with an integral hypodermic needle. Used by healthcare workers for subcutaneous or intramuscular injections. Operation follows standard syringe technique: medication drawn, injected into patient tissue, and plunger depressed. Post-injection, continued depression of the plunger triggers a spring-loaded mechanism; the needle hub is released from the base, rupturing a boot, and the compressed spring propels the contaminated needle into the hollow plunger. The needle is secured by an internal catch, rendering the syringe inoperable and preventing accidental needle stick injuries during disposal. Device is disposable, sterile, and non-pyrogenic. Benefits include reduced risk of sharps injuries to clinicians during post-injection handling and disposal. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on bench testing and design comparison to the predicate device. ## Technological Characteristics 3cc manual plunger-type syringe with integral hypodermic needle. Features a rupturable boot, spring-loaded needle retraction mechanism, and hollow plunger for needle containment. Materials are non-toxic and non-pyrogenic. Available in various needle gauges (20G-25G) and lengths (5/8"-1.5"). Mechanical operation; no electrical or software components. ## Regulatory Identification A piston syringe is a device intended for medical purposes that consists of a calibrated hollow barrel and a movable plunger. At one end of the barrel there is a male connector (nozzle) for fitting the female connector (hub) of a hypodermic single lumen needle. The device is used to inject fluids into, or withdraw fluids from, the body. ## Predicate Devices - VANISHPOINT SYRINGE ([K946219](/device/K946219.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

The primary intended use of the device is to give safe and accurate subcutaneous and intramuscular injections. Its secondary intended use is to retract and contain the contaminated needle after injection and render the syringe inoperable for further injections while not introducing any additional steps to the one-handed operating method, for the purpose of aiding in the prevention of accidental needle stick injuries. The MedSafe Safety Syringe operates in the same manner as standard hypodermic syringes, prior to the actuation of the safety mechanism. The plunger is retracted as the medication is drawn up to the desired amount. Next, the medication is administered to the patient in the usual way, by inserting the needle into the patient's tissue and depressing the plunger. Figure 1 shows the syringe in its configuration after the medication has been expelled and before the actuation of the safety mechanism. The various parts are identified therein, including the plunger, the boot, the body (barrel) and the needle, all of which are common to standard syringes. The difference is that the boof in the MedSafe syringe is rupturable and the plunger is hollow. The needle is held by the needle hub, which is in turn held in place by the base, which also serves to seal the medication in the syringe. The base is held in place at its plunger-end by an {1}------------------------------------------------ interior shelf in the body. There is a spring around the needle which is held in place by the nose and bears against the needle hub. Once the medication is expelled, the continued depression of the plunger causes the base (which contains the entire needle assembly) to slide, thereby compressing the spring. Continued depression of the plunger drives the needle hub against the nose and pushes the base over the needle hub. As the needle hub exits the base, it stretches the boot which subsequently ruptures. At this time, the compressed spring propels the needle and hub into the hollow plunger, where it is caught and secured by the needle catch (integral to the plunger). Thus, the "dirty" needle is securely held out of harm's way inside the plunger, as depicted in Figure 2. After use, the healthcare worker disposes of the syringe in a sharps container in accordance with OSHA regulations. The following size variations are listed below.
