Intended Use
The BD Insyte™ Autoguard™ BC catheter is inserted into a patient's vascular system to sample blood, monitor blood pressure, or administer fluids.
Device Story
Over-the-needle peripheral intravascular catheter; incorporates spring-activated needle-shielding technology to prevent needlestick injuries. Features integrated blood control septum in catheter hub; septum automatically activates upon needle removal to restrict blood flow until luer connection is secured.

Used in clinical settings for vascular access. Benefits include reduced clinician blood exposure and enhanced safety via needle shielding.
Clinical Evidence
Prospective, randomized, unblinded healthy volunteer study conducted to validate blood control feature design. Primary endpoints: clinical acceptability of blood control feature, clinician perception of blood exposure during insertion, and frequency of blood leakage from catheter hub.
Technological Characteristics
Peripheral IV catheter; BD Vialon™ polyurethane material; radiopaque. Features: spring-activated needle-shielding, integrated septum for blood control, luer slip/lock hub. Available in 16G, 18G, 20G, 22G, 24G. Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide. Manual operation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring vascular access for blood sampling, blood pressure monitoring, or fluid administration.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An intravascular catheter is a device that consists of a slender tube and any necessary connecting fittings and that is inserted into the patient's vascular system for short term use (less than 30 days) to sample blood, monitor blood pressure, or administer fluids intravenously. The device may be constructed of metal, rubber, plastic, or a combination of these materials.

### 4. Product Description:
The purpose of the premarket notification is to introduce a new intravascular catheter. the BD Insyte™ Autoquard™ BC Shielded IV Catheter. This new catheter is identical to the BD Insyle™ Autoguard device (K013800) with the addition of a septum and actuator (blood control features) integrated into the catheter hub.
The BD Insyte Autoquard BC catheter's, catheter hub has a built in blood control septurn. The blood control feature is a single-use septum that automatically activates
{1}------------------------------------------------
to stop the blood flow in the catheter hub when the needle is removed from the catheter during initial insertion by the clinician. Blood flow from the catheter hub will be restricted immediately after the needle retraction until a secure luer connection is made. The flow path is permanently opened once a secure luer connection has been made.
BD Insyte ™ Autoguard™ BC device is an over-the-needle, peripheral intravascular catheter that incorporates a spring-activated needle-shielding technology. Each catheter needle-shielding component inciudes a cylindrical needle-shielding barrel, a spring, a needle hub with flash chamber, and a needle.
The catheter component that is advanced into the vasculature is a BD Vialon™ polyurethane material. The catheter hub accommodates a luer slip or luer lock connection. It is available either with a straight or a winged catheter hub.
The BD Insyte Autoguard BC catheter needle-shielding technology provided the clinician with a user-activated button, the clinician pushes it to initiate the needle's retraction into the needle-shielding barrel. Once the button has been pushed and the needle retracted, the user cannot override the shielding mechanism to re-expose the needle tip.
The BD Insvte Autoquard BC catheter's needle incorporates BD Instaflash™ Needle Technology: this feature allows the clinician to visualize flashback through a notch in the side of the needle indicating that there is confirmation of vessel entry. This is available on the 20, 22, 24 gauge catheters only.
The BD Insyte Autoguard BC catheter is available in 16GA, 18GA, 20GA, 22GA, and 24GA sizes.
### 5. Indications for Use:
The BD Insyte™ Autoguard™ BC catheter is inserted into a patient's vascular system to sample blood, monitor blood pressure, or administer fluids.

The BD Insyte Autoguard BC catheter has the same intended use and similar technological characteristics and the BD Insyte Autoguard (KOl3800) and the SUPERCATH 5 (K093546). Similar components and materials are used in both the BD Insyte Autoquard (predicate) and the BD Insyte Autoguard BC catheter.
Verification and validation activities were designed and performed to demonstrate that the BD Insvte Autoquard BC catheter met predetermined product specifications. See Section. 9, 18, 19. & 20.
# 7. Risk Analysis:
The BD Insyte Autoquard BC catheter was evaluated in accordance with ISO 14971:2009. No new types of safety or efficacy questions were identified for the BD Insyte Autoguard BC device. See Section 21.
#### 8. Bench Testing:
Bench testing were performed to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the BD Insyte Autoquard BC catheter, to verify conformity to the standards listed in this application and demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicates devices used in this application. No new issues of safety and effectiveness were raised with the testing performed, so therefore, the BD Insyte Autoguard BC is substantially equivalent. See Section 18.
# 9. Clinical Use:
A prospective, randomized, unblinded healthy volunteer (subjects) clinical study was conducted by BD to validate the design of the BD Insyte Autoguard BC catheter with the primary objective to evaluate the overall clinical acceptability of the new blood control feature, the clinician's perception of blood exposure during the IV Catheter insertion process, and the frequency of blood leakage observed from the IV Catheter hub. See section 20.
# 10. Conclusions:
Conclusions drawn from performance testing and clinical testing were conducted in accordance with consensus standards and design control requirements. Test results and technological characteristics of like gauge size catheters were shown to be equivalent between the subject device and the predicates. The differences amonq the devices do not raise any issues of safety or effectiveness. The subject BD Insyte Autoguard BC catheter met the minimum requirements and is substantially equivalent in design, materials, sterilization, principles of operations and intended use to the predicate.
Based on the above summary and the enclosed sections of this premarket notification regarding substantial equivalence to the predicate devices, Becton Dickinson Infusion Therapy Systems Inc. concludes that the BD Insyte Autoguard BC catheter is substantially equivalent to the BD Insyte Autoguard device, (K013800), and the SUPERCATH 5 device, (K093546) and does not raise any new questions regarding safety or effectiveness.
