Indications for Use
The K-Pack Surshield™ Needle is a sterile hypodermic needle for single use with a passive sharps protection feature that covers the cannula immediately and permanently after use; and is intended for use in combination with hypodermic syringes for subcutaneous and intramuscular injection as well as for injection in infusion lines.
Device Story
K-Pack Surshield™ Needle is a sterile, single-use hypodermic needle featuring a passive sharps protection mechanism. Device consists of a stainless steel cannula attached to a polypropylene female luer hub. Designed for use with standard piston syringes for subcutaneous/intramuscular injections or infusion line access. Passive safety feature automatically and permanently covers the cannula post-use to prevent needlestick injuries. Visual indicator (light blue) confirms readiness; absence of color indicates locked safety state. Used in clinical settings by healthcare professionals. Benefits include reduced risk of accidental sharps injury to the operator.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Verification activities included cleanliness, acidity/alkalinity, extractable metals, size designation, color coding, conical fitting, effective length, lubrication, needle point sharpness, bonding strength, lumen patency, flow rate, and safety feature activation/challenge forces. All tests met acceptance criteria per EN ISO 7864 and ISO/FDIS 23908.
Technological Characteristics
Stainless steel cannula; polypropylene hub. 6% luer taper (ISO 594-1/2). Passive sharps protection mechanism. Sterilized via Ethylene Oxide (EN ISO 11135-1). Biocompatibility tested per ISO 10993. Lubricated with silicone (max 0.25 mg/cm²).
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring subcutaneous or intramuscular injections or injections into infusion lines. No specific age or gender restrictions. Contraindications not specified.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A hypodermic single lumen needle is a device intended to inject fluids into, or withdraw fluids from, parts of the body below the surface of the skin. The device consists of a metal tube that is sharpened at one end and at the other end joined to a female connector (hub) designed to mate with a male connector (nozzle) of a piston syringe or an intravascular administration set.
