The SURFLASH® Safety I.V. Catheter is inserted into the patient's vascular system for short term use (<30 days) to withdraw blood samples, administer fluid intravenously, or monitor blood pressure by attaching a monitoring line. The needle shaft cover and tip shield feature aids in the prevention of needle stick injuries. These catheters may be used for any patient population with consideration given to adequacy of vascular anatomy and appropriateness for the solution being infused and duration of therapy. The 18 to 22 gauge catheters are suitable for use with power injectors rated for a maximum of 325 psi.
Device Story
The SURFLASH® Safety I.V. Catheter is an over-the-needle peripheral catheter used for short-term vascular access. It features a grooved cannula for visual confirmation of vessel entry (flashback) and a passive needle-shielding mechanism (shutter and needle shaft cover) that automatically activates upon needle withdrawal to prevent needle stick injuries. The device is manually operated by clinicians in clinical settings. It consists of a polyurethane catheter, stainless steel needle, and plastic housing. The device facilitates blood withdrawal, fluid administration, and pressure monitoring. By providing a passive safety mechanism, it reduces the risk of sharps injuries to healthcare workers. The 18-22 gauge versions support power injection up to 325 psi.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance testing included simulated use studies with healthcare workers to verify the safety feature activation and Instructions for Use (IFU) adequacy. Testing confirmed compliance with ISO 10555-1, ISO 10555-5, and ISO 23908 for mechanical strength, pressure resistance, and safety mechanism function. Biocompatibility was verified per ISO 10993.
Technological Characteristics
Over-the-needle peripheral catheter; polyurethane catheter body; stainless steel cannula; passive needle-shielding mechanism (shutter/cylinder); radio-opaque; 18-24 gauge diameters; 19-32 mm lengths. Sterilized via ethylene oxide (SAL 10^-6). Complies with ISO 10555-1, ISO 10555-5, ISO 23908, and ISO 10993.
Indications for Use
Indicated for any patient population requiring short-term (<30 days) vascular access for blood sampling, intravenous fluid administration, or blood pressure monitoring, provided vascular anatomy and therapy appropriateness are considered. 18-22 gauge models are indicated for use with power injectors up to 325 psi.
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.

#### A. DEVICE NAME
Proprietary Name SURFLASH® Safety I.V. Catheter
# Classification Name Intravascular Catheter
Intravascular Catheter (880.5200) Product Code: FOZ Panel: General Hospital . Classification: Class II
#### Common Name
Intravascular catheter with needle protection device
#### INTENDED USE B.
The SURFLASH® Safety I.V. Catheter is inserted into the patient's vascular system for short term use (<30 days) to withdraw blood samples, administer fluid intravenously, or monitor blood pressure by attaching a monitoring line. The needle shaft cover and tip shield feature aids in the prevention of needle stick injuries. These catheters may be used for any patient population with consideration given to adequacy of vascular anatomy and appropriateness for the solution being infused and duration of therapy. The 18 to 22 gauge catheters are suitable for use with power injectors rated for a maximum of 325 psi.
# C. DEVICE DESCRIPTION (SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS)
### Principle of Operation/Technology
The SURFLASH® Safety I.V. Catheter is manually operated and contains a passive safety feature that automatically activates as the needle is withdrawn from the catheter.
{2}------------------------------------------------
### Design / Construction
The SURFLASH® Safety I.V. Catheter is a device consisting of catheter assembly (catheter, caulking pin and catheter hub), needle assembly (needle, needle housing, transparent flash chamber with filter and needle protector) and a passive needle-shielding mechanism (shutter and needle shaft cover consisting of inner cylinder, outer cylinder, junction cylinder).
The devices are an over-the needle, peripheral catheter made of a slender, flexible, radio-opaque plastic with a hub that is inserted into the patient's vascular system for short term (<30 days) use to withdraw blood samples, administer fluids intravenously, or monitor blood pressure by attaching a monitoring line.
Whole length cannula including the sharp end of the inner needle is covered by the needle shielding mechanism as the needle is withdrawn from catheter's hub to aid in the prevention of needle stick injuries.
The grooved cannula which allows the clinician to visualize flashback detection through the groove indicating that there is confirmation of vessel entry is the same as the TERUMO® Surshield®-PUR Safety I.V. Catheter (K100282) and TERUMO® SURFLASH™ I.V. Catheter (K991406).
### Material
The stainless steel cannula is placed in the catheter to maintain rigidity and is withdrawn after the catheter is placed in the vascular system,
The catheter that is advanced into the vessel is made of polyurethane which is the same as the TERUMO® Surshield®-PUR Safety I.V. Catheter (K100282) and TERUMO® SURFLASH™ I.V. Catheter (K991406).
## Specifications
The SURFLASH™ Safety I.V. Catheter are available in 6 sizes with combination of 18, 20, 22 and 24 gauge catheters diameters and 19, 25 and 32 mm catheters length,
{3}------------------------------------------------
## D. NON-CLINICAL TESTS
Performance testing was conducted to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the SURFLASH® Safety I.V. Catheter throughout the shelf life, to verify conformity to the applicable part of ISO standards and demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate devices as mentioned in the table on next pages.
No new issues of safety and effectiveness were raised with the testing performed. Performance testing demonstrates that the SURFLASH® Safety I.V. Catheter conforms to the recognized consensus ISO standards, is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices and acceptable for clinical use throughout the shelf life.
A simulated use study was conducted in accordance with FDA's Guidance For Industry and Staff, Medical Devices with Sharps Injury Prevention Features issued on August 9. 2005. The objectives of this study were designed to confirm that study participants are able to read and follow the Instructions for Use to safely and effectively operate the safety feature of the device. The objectives were:
- 1. Verify that proper activation of the sharps injury prevention feature of the device can be accomplished in simulated clinical environments by healthcare workers who use these types of Safety I.V. Catheters.
- 2. Determine if the Instructions for Use are adequate for proper activation of the sharps injury prevention feature.
All safety features activated effectively and there were no de-activations after discarding. All participants were able to read and activate the catheter safety feature without further explanation or training. No adverse events occurred.
Conclusion: The safety feature of the device operates safely and effectively as intended. Users with various levels of experience can read the IFU and operate the device safely and effectively.
