Intended Use
For the transfer of solutions from one container to another.
Device Story
Universal Spike is a sterile, single-use, disposable fluid transfer device. It features a closure-piercing component to penetrate fluid containers, an air-inlet component with a 3-micron filter for use with rigid or pressure-collapsible containers, and a distal female luer lock adapter for syringe or transfer set attachment. Protective caps cover the piercing component and luer lock. The device is used in clinical settings to facilitate the transfer of medical solutions between containers. Healthcare providers operate the device manually. It benefits patients by enabling safe, sterile fluid handling and administration.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including chemical analysis, visual control, fragmentation, penetration force, spike retention, patency, pressure/leakage, pull tests, free flow, particulate contamination, luer testing, and a full suite of biocompatibility testing (cytotoxicity, hypersensitivity, reactivity, systemic toxicity, hemocompatibility, and pyrogenicity) per ISO and USP standards.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: ABS (spike body, luer lock), Polypropylene (air inlet housing, luer cap), LDPE (spike cap). Features: Vented spike with 3-micron membrane filter, distal female luer lock. Sterilization: Ethylene oxide. Standards: ISO 8536-2/4, ISO 22413, ISO 10993-1/4/5/10/11/18, ISO 594-1, USP <788>, USP <151>, ASTM F756. Single-use, disposable, non-powered.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the transfer of solutions from one container to another.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An intravascular administration set is a device used to administer fluids from a container to a patient's vascular system through a needle or catheter inserted into a vein. The device may include the needle or catheter, tubing, a flow regulator, a drip chamber, an infusion line filter, an I.V. set stopcock, fluid delivery tubing, connectors between parts of the set, a side tube with a cap to serve as an injection site, and a hollow spike to penetrate and connect the tubing to an I.V. bag or other infusion fluid container.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control for pharmacy compounding systems within this classification is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Pharmacy Compounding Systems; Final Guidance for Industry and FDA Reviewers.” Pharmacy compounding systems classified within the intravascular administration set are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of this part and subject to the limitations in § 880.9.

Dear Ms. Maddock:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug. and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
