Class 2
Intended Use
The Effectiv™ Cap is a device containing 70% Isopropy! alcohol. When left in place for 5 to 10 minutes the cap decontaminates the injection port; thereafter the cap provides a physical barrier during intended use.
Device Story
Effectiv™ Cap is a single-use, sterile, non-DEHP, latex-free cap containing a sponge saturated with 70% Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA). Designed for use with standard needleless injection ports. The device is placed over the port for 5 to 10 minutes to facilitate decontamination via the IPA-soaked sponge; once removed, the cap serves as a physical barrier to protect the port. Used in clinical settings by healthcare providers to maintain sterility of IV access points. Benefits include reduced risk of contamination during IV administration.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
Single-use cap containing a sponge saturated with 70% Isopropyl Alcohol. Non-DEHP, latex-free materials. Sterile. Designed for standard needleless injection ports.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the decontamination of injection ports, typically on IV sets, prior to injection. No specific patient population or contraindications provided.
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.

Dear Rebecca Andersen:
This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of September 11, 2018.
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 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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrb/cfdccs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm.identifies combination.product submissions. 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal

You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807): labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/CombinationProducts/GuidanceRegulatoryInformation/uom597488.html; good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4. Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions 531-542 of the Act): 21 CFR 1000-1050.

# EffectivTM Cap 510(k) 9/9/08
The Alcohol Swab is a non woven pad saturated with 70% Isopropy! alcohol for surface cleaning and disinfecting. The Efectiv™ Cap has a sponge saturated with 70% Isopropyl Alcohol. However, because of its special configuration, a sponge inside the Effectiv™ Cap, its use is restricted to decontamination of injection ports, usually on an IV set, prior to injection.
The claim for substantial equivalence is supported by the information and performance test data provided in the 510(k) submission.
