## SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE:

Hypodermic Single Lumen Needles

Hypodermic Single Lumen Needles Class II, CFR Title 21 § 880.5570

BD Precision Glide™ Needles (BD Single Lumen Needle, Syringe, and Blood Collection Set), K021475

The hypodermic needles are comprised of a metal tube that is sharpened at one end, and at the other end is bonded to a female connector (hub), which is designed to attach to a male connector, such as a syringe. The needles will be available in gauge sizes of 18 G through 27 G, and in lengths ranging from 1/2 inch to 4 3/4 inches.

The Sterican hypodermic needles, when attached to a male connector, are intended to be used to inject fluid into, or withdraw fluids from, parts of the body below the surface of the skin.

The Sterican hypodermic needles have the same intended use, operation, similar materials of construction, and are similar in design to the predicate device, the BD Precision Glide™ Needles, covered under K021475 (Single Lumen Needle, Syringe, and Blood Collection Set). Biocompatibility and functional testing have been performed to verify the safety and effectiveness of the Sterican needles. There are no differences between the predicate and proposed needles that raise new issues of safety and effectiveness.

Dear Ms. Ford:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
