DESCRIPTION: The IMD Inc. Lumbar Puncture Needle shares major similarities with the predicate device(s), in as much as the configuration, materials, area of use, and are identical to the IMD reference devices. It consists of an introducer, stylet, and pencil-point needle, with plastic hubs, and stainless steel cannula. Offered in 18-27 gauges, and 3.5 in. (90 mm) and 5.0 in (124 mm) lengths. # 04. INDICATIONS FOR USE / INTENDED USE: IMD's Lumbar Puncture Needle, a single patient use needle; it is intended to gain entry into or puncture the spinal cavity permitting injecting (including anesthesia) / withdrawl of fluids for purpose of diagnostic lumbar puncture, myelography discography procedures. The device is intended for adult and pediatric patients. It is to be used only under the direction of a licensed clinician. # 05. SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE (SE) RATIONALE: The IMD's Lumbar Puncture shares the identical configuration, features, materials, methods of manufacture / manufacturer, testing, packaging / packager, and sterilization / sterilizer as the reference needles (IMD's). Biocompatibility and Performance testing has been provided in the reference device submissions, which support substantial equivalence (SE). It's Indications for Use is similar to the predicate device and the intended use is the same. The indications differ in minor semantics and include the prescription device statement. Therefore, the different semantics and prescription statement included in the IFU does not change the intended use, and does not affect the safety and effectiveness of the device when used as labeled {6}------------------------------------------------ It it is therefore substantially equivalent to the predicate device listed above. In addition: - No record of unexpected patient problems or adverse reactions were found in our O review of the FDA's MAUDE, Safety Alert, and MDR databases; | Test: | References: | |--------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Product Sterility | Cleanroom, Direct transfer method, Nelson Labs PSC 110, STP0077 Rev 07, USP General Chapter 71, ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11737-2, EP 2.6.1, JP and 21 CFR 610.12 | | Bacteriostasis and Fungistasis | Method II: Direct Inoculation, Nelson Labs BFS 120, USP <71>, EP 2.6.1 and <jp 54="" xv,="">; and AAMI/ISO 11737-2.</jp> | - The device and its packaging was tested by an independent lab for the following: O Production Lots are also subjected to inspection / testing by Incoming QC, in-process OC, and finished goods QC, and monitored in the field by means of our CAPA system. ### 06. CONCLUSION: There are no substantive differences between the device defined in this 510(k) submission and the predicate and reference devices. It is identical or similar in configuration, material and manufacturing / sterilization technologies that are currently used in other similar medical devices. It was developed and documented under IMD's Quality Management System, under the Quality System Regulation, 21 CFR Part 820, including design / change control, and is verified / validated to applicable standards / guidance documents, including vendors' and our SOPs. It is designed and manufactured to be as safe and as effective as the predicate device when used as intended, under a licensed clinician's supervision. IMD's Lumbar Puncture Needle share similar or identical Indications for Use,and characteristics, materials, manufacturer, sterilization, and functional features, and thus are substantially equivalent to the currently marketed predicate and reference devices, cited above.
