Indications for Use
It is a safety mechanism to reduce occurrence of accidental needle sticks when using ISO standard glass prefilled syringes. The UltraSafe Passive Needle Guard is indicated for use as single use devices that are indicated for use as an accessory with pre-filled ISO Standard glass syringes to aid in the protection of healthcare professionals, patients who self-inject doctor prescribed medications and individuals that assist self-injecting patients, from accidental needlesticks. The intended patient population is unrestricted and may include children and adults, and parenteral methods of administration.
Device Story
Passive needle guard accessory for ISO standard glass pre-filled syringes; prevents accidental needlesticks. Device components: guard, body, spring, plunger. Operation: upon injection completion, guard slides forward to cover and lock over needle; provides tactile/visual confirmation of activation. Used in clinical or home settings by physicians, nurses, or patients. Benefits: reduces sharps injury risk for users and caregivers. Modifications include new plunger materials (polypropylene homopolymer, medical grade Delrin).
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing and simulated use studies performed to verify that plunger material modifications did not affect device function, premature activation, or safety protection. Biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993 performed.
Technological Characteristics
Passive needle guard; materials include Purell PolyOne X50109 polypropylene, Ineos H20Z-00 polypropylene, and Delrin SC690 NC010. Mechanical spring-actuated guard. Single-use, non-sterile. Compliant with ISO 10993 (biocompatibility) and ISO 23908 (sharps protection).
Indications for Use
Indicated for healthcare professionals, patients self-injecting prescribed medications, and caregivers assisting patients. Unrestricted patient population including children and adults requiring parenteral administration via ISO standard glass pre-filled syringes.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A piston syringe is a device intended for medical purposes that consists of a calibrated hollow barrel and a movable plunger. At one end of the barrel there is a male connector (nozzle) for fitting the female connector (hub) of a hypodermic single lumen needle. The device is used to inject fluids into, or withdraw fluids from, the body.

Trade/Proprietary Name: UltraSafe Passive Needle Guard
Common Name: Anti Stick Syringe
Classification Name: Piston Syringe
Classification Number(s)/Product Code(s): 21 CFR 880.5860 (MEG)
Legally Marketed Predicate Device: UltraSafe Passive Delivery System (510(k) K011369, K060743)
#### Device Description:
The SSI UltraSafe Passive Needle Guard (X-Series) is an anti-needlestick accessory for pre-filled ISO standard glass syringes. The device is composed of a guard, body, spring and plunger, is nonsterile and single use. The activation of the SSI UltraSafe Passive Needle Guard device remains the same. Upon completion of the injection, the guard will slide forward, cover and lock over the needle of the syringe. It is a tactile and visual recognition that the device safety feature has activated. The modifications to the predicate device include additional plungers manufactured from Purell PolyOne X50109 polypropylene homopolymer, Ineos H20Z-00 polypropylene homopolymer or medical grade Delrin SC690 NC010. The SSI devices are categorized as skin contact with a duration of category A- limited (< 24 h) as per ISO 10993 Biological evaluation of medical devices- Part 1: Evaluation and testing.
#### Intended Use/ Indications for Use:
The intended use remains the same. It is a safety mechanism to reduce occurrence of accidental needle sticks when using ISO standard glass prefilled syringes. The indications for use remain the same. The UltraSafe Passive Needle Guard is indicated for use as single use devices that are indicated for use as an accessory with pre-filled ISO Standard glass syringes to aid in the protection

of healthcare professionals, patients who self-inject doctor prescribed medications and individuals that assist self-injecting patients, from accidental needlesticks. The intended patient population is unrestricted and may include children and adults, and parenteral methods of administration.
# Technical Characteristics Comparison Summary to Predicate Device:
The UltraSafe Passive Needle Guard is substantially equivalent to the predicate device in general technological features and principle of operation. The mechanism of the device does not change. Upon completion of the injection, the guard will slide forward, cover and lock over the needle of the syringe.
## Performance Data:
Bench testing was performed on the UltraSafe Passive Needle Guard and confirms that the additional plungers functioned as intended and are substantially equivalent to the predicate device. Safety Syringes, Inc. maintains a Quality System compliant with 21 CFR 820, Quality System Regulation. The firm's Quality System is registered by a third-party to ISO 13485:2003, Medical Devices-Quality Management Systems-Requirements for Regulatory Purposes. Test procedures, test protocols, and reports are maintained within the Quality System. The firm uses the standard elements of design control compliant to 21 CFR Part 820 and ISO 13485:2003 to develop its new products. Risk Management was conducted as per ISO 14971 Medical device-Application of risk management to medical devices. Biocompatibility testing performed demonstrates that the additional plungers met 10993 requirements.
#### Clinical Testing:
As per FDA guidance and ISO 23908, simulated use studies were conducted to ensure that the additional plungers did not impede or adversely affect the intended clinical performance of the device, did not activate prematurely under expected conditions of use and provided protection against unintended sharps injury until disposal (Reference Guidance for Industry and FDA: Medical Devices with Sharps Injury Prevention Features and ISO 23908 Sharps injury protection-Requirements and test methods-Sharps protection features for single-use hypodermic needles. introducers for catheters and needles used for blood sampling).
#### Conclusion:
Based upon the design, technology, performance, functional testing and intended use, the UltraSafe Passive Needle Guard device is substantially equivalent to predicate device previously cleared as 510(k)s K011369 and K0607043.
