Intended Use

The North American Rescue Sharps Shuttle is a molded polypropylene, non-sterile, single use, portable transportable sharps container. Its permanent closure system protects the user prior to disposal via incineration. The North American Rescue Sharps Shuttle is approximately 6.41" in length, with a sharps aperture of approximately 1" in diameter.

Device Story

Portable, injection-molded polypropylene sharps container; designed for safe collection/transport of small, low-volume sharps (needles, lancets, syringes) in non-clinical settings (EMS, battlefield, home health). Replaces dangerous needle resheathing. Features cylindrical body with conical taper; temporary closure allows repeated access; permanent locking tab secures container for final disposal via incineration. Used by first responders, medics, or patients; point-of-care operation. Provides physical containment of biohazardous sharps; prevents accidental needle-stick injuries during transport to disposal.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data. Performance validated via ASTM F2132-01 (2008)e1 for puncture resistance and ISO 23907 (2012) for puncture resistance and resistance to damage/leakage after dropping.

Technological Characteristics

Material: Polypropylene. Form factor: Cylindrical with conical taper, ~6.41" length, ~1" aperture. Mechanism: Temporary closure cap and permanent locking tab. Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Non-sterile. Software: None.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use as a portable, single-use container for the safe collection and transport of small, low-volume sharps, including blood needles, lancets, and small syringes, in non-clinical settings where standard sharps containers are not conveniently accessible, such as by first responders, battlefield medics, EMS, and home health care.

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.
