Indications for Use
The PharmaJet Needle-free Injection System is intended to deliver various medications and vaccines intradermally by means of a narrow, high velocity fluid jet, which penetrates the skin and delivers the medicine or vaccine into the dermis. Healthcare providers who routinely administer injections may use the PharmaJet Needle-free Injection System. It may also be used by patients authorized by their physicians to self-inject, or have other individuals administer injections of prescribed medication.
Device Story
Compact, spring-loaded, needle-free hypodermic injector; delivers medication/vaccines intradermally via high-velocity fluid jet. System components: reusable injector, reset station, single-use sterile filling adapter, single-use sterile needle-free syringe. Operation: injector spring reset in station; filling adapter draws liquid into syringe; syringe attached to injector; trigger release discharges plunger to expel fluid through small orifice. Used in clinical settings or home by patients/caregivers. Output: intradermal injection. Benefits: needle-free administration; avoids sharps-related injuries.
Clinical Evidence
No human clinical trials. Animal testing compared subject device to Terumo 1cc Allergy Syringe; endpoints included bleb diameter, depth of penetration, dye dermal contact area, and skin volume occupied. Bench testing per ISO 21649:2006 included dose accuracy, life cycle, temperature, vibration, shock, and microbial ingress. Biocompatibility and disinfection robustness (glutaraldehyde/peroxide) confirmed.
Technological Characteristics
Mechanical spring-actuated injector. Materials: stainless steel, polyetherimide (injector/reset station); polypropylene (syringe barrel); polycarbonate (filling adapter); silicone (plunger seal). Orifice diameter: 0.007". Sterilization: electron beam radiation. Complies with ISO 21649:2006. Non-electrical.
Indications for Use
Indicated for intradermal delivery of medications and vaccines in adults and children. Suitable for use by healthcare providers or patients/caregivers authorized for self-injection.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A nonelectrically powered fluid injector is a nonelectrically powered device used by a health care provider to give a hypodermic injection by means of a narrow, high velocity jet of fluid which can penetrate the surface of the skin and deliver the fluid to the body. It may be used for mass inoculations.

### Reason for Premarket Notification
New Device
#### Predicate Devices
PharmaJet 0.5 ml Needle-free Injection System, K081532 Terumo 1 cc Allergy Syringe, K980796
#### Description of the Device
The PharmaJet 0.1 ml Needle-free Iniection System (PharmaJet Svstem) is a compact, spring-loaded needle-free hypodermic injection system. The PharmaJet System consists of an injector; a reset station; a single use, sterile disposable filling adapter; and, a single use, sterile, disposable needle-free syringe. The components of the system may be sold separately for replacements as they are used. The components of the PharmaJet System are unique and cannot be used with any other needle-free system.
An injector is placed in the reset station and the lid is depressed to reset the spring in the injector. A health care worker puts a filling adapter into a vial of liquid medicine or vaccine. A Needle-free syringe is placed into the filling adapter, the liquid is drawn into the Needle-free syringe and is slightly over filled. The filled Needle-free syringe is removed from the adapter and the plunger is broken off and discarded. The Needle-free syringe is placed into the injector with a ¼ turn to the right, which positions the plunger so that a 0.1ml dose is ready for use. The Needle-free syringe is placed against the injection site; gentle pressure is applied until the inner housing stops. This action allows the trigger to be released. By depressing the trigger the spring is released and the plunger moves forward into the needle-free syringe barrel discharging the contents. Once the injection has been performed, the Needle-free syringe is properly disposed of and a new syringe may be filled, injector reset, and the system again prepped for use.
#### Injector
The Injector is a reusable compact spring-actuated needle-free hypodermic injector consisting of the body, inner body/safety collar, trigger, and spring. The injector is made with stainless steel and injection molded amorphous thermoplastic polyetherimide.

### Needle-free syringe
The Needle-free syringe is a sterile, single use, transparent, disposable, polypropylene container consisting of the barrel to hold 0.1ml of medicine or vaccine, a plunger to discharge the medicine or vaccine through a small diameter orifice at the forward end of the barrel, and a silicone seal on the plunger to prevent leakage of the medicine or vaccine rearward.
### Reset Station
The Reset Station is used to prepare (reset) the spring, within the injector, for an injection. The reset station is made with stainless steel and injection molded amorphous thermoplastic polyetherimide.
### Filling Adapter
The filling adapter allows the needle-free syringe to be filled from medicine or vaccine storage vials. The filling adapter, which does not contact the patient, is made of injection-molded polycarbonate.
### Indication for Use
The PharmaJet Needle-free Injection System is intended to deliver various medications and vaccines intradermally by means of a narrow, high velocity fluid jet, which penetrates the skin and delivers the medicine or vaccine into the dermis. Healthcare providers who routinely administer injections may use the PharmaJet Needle-free Injection System. It may be used for adults and children. It can also be used by patients authorized by their physicians to self inject, or have other individuals administer injections of prescribed medication.

## Discussion of Non-clinical Tests
The purpose of the Bench Testing for the PharmaJet Needle-free Injection System was to establish that the system meets the requirements of the PharmaJet 0.1ml Product and Engineering Specifications with regard to robustness for customer needs and meet the essential requirements of ISO21649:2006 Needle-free injectors for medical use -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------methods.
The following tests have been successfully completed:
- Temperature, storage temperature, free-fall, vibration, shock, dose o accuracy, life cycle, performance profile upper and lower acceptance limits and emitted noise testing according to ISO21649:2006 Needlefree injectors for medical use -Requirements and test methods
- Needle-free Syringe Irradiated Dose Test for Robustness o
- Microbial Ingress Testing o
Confidential
{4}------------------------------------------------
Animal testing was performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence to an intradermal injection using the Terumo 1cc Allergy syringe. The test results indicate that the PharmaJet 0.1 ml Needle-free Injection System is substantial equivalence to the Terumo 1 cc Allergy Syringe with regards to the three primary endpoints: bleb diameter, depth of penetration based on dermal height, dye dermal contact area, and the secondary calculated endpoint of skin volume occupied by the dye.
Maximum irradiated sterility dose test was done on the needle-free syringe to demonstrate material robustness and microbial ingress testing on the Filling Adapter was done to demonstrate that the Filling Adaptor can be disinfected using common disinfection techniques.
Biological testing conducted demonstrate that the PharmaJet Needle-free Syringe and Filling Adapter meet the requirements for safe short term exposure,
Functional testing after Gluteraldehyde-based and peroxide-based high level disinfection show no degradation of performance or damage to Injectors or Reset Stations.
### Conclusion
Pre-clinical testing and bench testing have shown that for intradermal delivery with needle-free jet injection the PharmaJet 0.1 ml Needle-free Injection System is as effective, as safe, and performs as well as, or better than one of the predicate devices.
