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.

### DEVICE DESCRIPTION

Med-Tainer Single Deposit Container (SDC) is used to collect medical sharps in supervised areas of healthcare facilities. The containers are rotationally molded and made of low density polyethylene. They are available in 17 gallon and 10 gallon sizes and in five colors: red, teal, yellow, blue and green. Med-Tainer SDC is a reusable container intended to be reprocessed up to 780 times. The products are supplied to waste management companies that are responsible for transporting, decanting, decontaminating, and destroying the containers. The accompanying lids vary by purpose. The black transport lid is used during transport of the filled container. The combination of black large lab lid, with an opening to discard sharps, and the black small lab lid, used to slide across the large lab lid when not in use, allows easy disposal of sharps. The color coordinating restrictive lid with a mail box type opening is intended to prevent hand or finger access.

# PERFORMANCE DATA

#### Life Span Processing Simulation per CAN/CSA Z316.6-14 BA.8.3.1 Sharps injury protection -Requirements and test methods – Sharps containers

Containers were processed 780 times to simulate their intended life cycle: filled with sharps, closed for transport, opened, decanted, rinsed and decontaminated, Results; all containers successfully completed 780 processing simulation cycles without damage.

### Life Span Transport Simulation per CAN/CSA Z316.6-14 BA.8.3.2 Sharps injury protection -Requirements and test methods – Sharps containers

Containers processed 780 times were filled with sharps and vibrated to simulate transportation. Results: all containers completed transportation without damage.

#### Leak Resistance Test per Health Devices, August - September 1993, ECRI, Vol 22 Nos. 8-9 pgs. 383-384

Containers processed 780 times were filled with water and checked after 24 hours for loss of fluid. Results: passed.

# Container Stability Test per ISO 23907 Sharps injury protection - Requirements and test methods – Sharps containers

Containers processed 780 times were filled with a material of density 0.20 ± 0.01kg/l and placed on an incline with a minimum angle of 15°. Testing was repeated for each side of the container. The container failed the criteria if it toppled over. Results: passed.

# Strength of Handles per ISO 23907 Sharps injury protection - Requirements and test methods -Sharps containers

Containers processed 780 times were filled with a mass equivalent to 150% of the manufacturer's maximum gross mass, closed, suspended by the handles for an hour at 23 ± 5℃ and examined for breakage or detachment. Results: passed.

# Resistance to Damage and Leakage after Dropping per ISO 23907 Sharps injury protection -Requirements and test methods – Sharps containers

Containers processed 780 times were conditioned for testing, filled with liquid and sharps, closed, and dropped a distance of 1 meter. The containers were oriented to land on the bottom, side wall and adjacent side wall. After landing they were inspected for leakage and /or loss of integrity. Results: passed.

# Resistance to Damage and Leakage after Dropping per ISO 23907 Sharps injury protection -Requirements and test methods – Sharps containers (modified)

Containers were conditioned for testing, filled with liquid, sharps, glass, and stainless steel. The fill weight of the container was 40.1 lbs.

After landing they were inspected for leakage and /or loss of integrity. Results: passed.

{6}------------------------------------------------

# Puncture Resistance per ASTM F2132-01 Standard Specification of Materials Used in Containers for Discarded Medical Needles and Other Sharps

Each side of the container (bottom, and 4 sides) was overlaid with a 1" x 1" grid. The 12 thinnest areas were tested using a 21 gauge by 1 inch hypodermic needle to measure the force required to penetrate the sample. The criteria to pass the puncture resistance test are an average value not less than 3.4 lbf (15 N) with no value less than 2.8 lbf (12.5 N). Results: passed.

# Puncture Resistance per ASTM F2132-01 Standard Specification of Materials Used in Containers for Discarded Medical Needles and Other Sharps

Each side of the container processed 780 times (lid, bottom, and 4 sides) was overlaid with a 1" x 1" grid. The 12 thinnest areas were tested using a 21 gauge by 1 inch hypodermic needle to measure the force required to penetrate the sample. The criteria to pass the puncture resistance test are an average value not less than 3.4 lbf (15 N) with no value less than 2.8 lbf (12.5 N). Results: passed.

# Drop Test per 49 CRF 178.603 Specification for Packagings – Subpart M – Testing of Non-Bulk Packagings and Packages

Containers were filled, closed, conditioned, and oriented to land during multiple trials on its top, bottom, end, side and top corner. The containers were dropped 1.2 meters, and examined for loss of contents. Results: passed.

# Stack Test per 49 CFR 178.606 Specification for Packagings – Subpart M – Testing of Non-Bulk Packagings and Packages

Containers were subjected to a temperature of 104°F for 28 days with weights of 130 pounds stacked on top of them. The containers were examined for deformation or release of contents. Results: passed.

# Vibration Testing per 49 CFR 178.608 Specification for Packagings – Subpart M – Testing of Non-Bulk Packagings and Packages

Containers were placed on a vertical linear vibration table operated at an amplitude of 1 inch and a frequency of 4.25 Hz for 60 minutes, and inspected for deterioration or loss of contents. Results: passed.

# Cleaning Validation per FDA Guidance: Reprocessing Medical Devices in Health Care Settings: Validation Methods and Labeling

A cleaning validation protocol was designed and performed. All containers successfully met or surpassed performance criteria.
