Indications for Use
The SafeStep® MAX™ Power-Injectable Infusion Set is intended for use in the administration of fluids and drugs, as well as blood sampling through surgically implanted vascular ports.
Device Story
SafeStep® MAX™ is a non-coring Huber-type right-angle needle and administration set featuring a manually activated safety mechanism to shield the needle after use, reducing needlestick injury risk. Used in clinical settings by healthcare providers to access surgically implanted vascular ports for fluid/drug delivery, blood sampling, and power injection of contrast media. Operation involves priming with saline, inserting into port septum, and securing. Upon removal, the provider pulls a textured handle to lock the needle into a safety position before disposal. The device enables high-flow contrast delivery for diagnostic imaging, benefiting patients by facilitating both routine therapy and specialized radiological procedures through a single access point.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Verification testing performed per FDA guidance for intravascular administration sets and sharps injury prevention features. Testing confirmed performance equivalence to predicates regarding flow rates, safety mechanism activation, and structural integrity under power injection pressures.
Technological Characteristics
Non-coring right-angle Huber needle with manual safety shielding mechanism. Materials evaluated per ISO 10993 for externally communicating devices (>24h to 30 days). Sterilization via ethylene oxide (ISO 11135) or radiation (ISO 11137). Available in 19G, 20G, and 22G sizes.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring access to surgically implanted vascular ports for fluid/drug administration, blood sampling, and power injection of contrast media (when used with compatible ports). Contraindicated for use with ports not rated for power injection. Max infusion rates: 5 ml/s (19G/20G), 2 ml/s (22G).
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.

#### DEVICE DESCRIPTION:
The SafeStep® MAX™ Power-Injectable Infusion Set is a standard non-coring Huber type needle and administration set with an integral safety needlestick prevention feature.
The SafeStep® MAX™ Power-Injectable Infusion Set is a standard non-coring intravascular administration set with a non-coring Huber type right angle needle and a manually activated needle-stick prevention safety mechanism which reduces the risk of accidental needlestick injuries by shielding the needle. The device is used to access surgically implanted vascular ports and is indicated for use in the administration of fluids and drugs, as well as blood sampling.
The SafeStep® MAX™ Power-Injectable Infusion Set is also indicated for power injection of contrast media into the central venous system only through an implanted port that is also
{2}------------------------------------------------
indicated for power injection. The maximum recommended infusion rate is 5 ml/s for 19 gauge and 20 gauge needles. and 2 ml/s for 22 gauge needles.
The device functions in a similar manner to all the predicate devices. The insertion site is prepared and the device is primed using a 10 ml syringe containing normal saline and inserted into the port septum. Patency is confirmed and the device is dressed per institutional protocol. Removal of the device is accomplished by flushing per institutional protocol, stabilizing the base of the device by securely holding the base down and firmly pulling the textured handle up until you feel a firm stop and the needle is locked into the safety position. Dispose the set into a sharps container.
