Indications for Use
The BD Vacutainer® Eclipse™ Signal™ Blood Collection Needle is a sterile, single use, medical device specifically intended to be used by trained healthcare professionals in accordance with the instructions for use for the collection of multiple blood samples into evacuated blood collection tubes, for the purpose of in vitro diagnostic testing. The device incorporates a flash technology to indicate venous access and a hinged safety shield. In the activated position, the safety shield protects against an accidental needle stick injury during normal handling and disposal.
Device Story
Sterile, single-use blood collection needle; used by trained healthcare professionals for venipuncture. Input: venous blood; output: blood samples in evacuated tubes. Features flash chamber for visual confirmation of venous access; hinged safety shield for protection against accidental needle stick injuries. Operates by inserting stainless steel cannula into patient vein; blood flows into flash chamber then into collection tube. Safety shield activated via single-handed technique; provides audible confirmation of lock. Minimizes blood droplet formation at needle tip post-removal to reduce splatter risk. Used in clinical settings for diagnostic blood collection.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data. Verification activities included biocompatibility (ISO 10993-5, -4, -11, -10, -18), needle penetration, hub/needle bond strength, leak testing, needle shield removal forces, flash reliability, activation force, holder detachment, and splatter testing. All results met predetermined acceptance criteria.
Technological Characteristics
Cannula: stainless steel; Hub: polycarbonate; Porous Plug: polyethylene; Safety Shield: polypropylene; Rubber Sleeve: synthetic rubber; Holder: polypropylene; Lubricant: silicone. Features: flash chamber, pivoting safety shield. Dimensions: 21G or 22G, 1.0 inch length. Bevel: 3 bevel. Hub color per ISO 6009. Sterilization: sterile, single-use.
Indications for Use
Indicated for trained healthcare professionals for the collection of multiple blood samples into evacuated blood collection tubes for in vitro diagnostic testing.
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.

#### 1. Device Description
The BD Vacutainer® Eclipse™ Signal™ Blood Collection Needle is a sterile, single use, straight blood collection needle intended to be used by a trained Healthcare Worker (HCW) for conducting venipuncture. The device consists of a stainless steel cannula bonded into the front needle hub which is the intravenous (IV) end that is inserted into the patient's vein and nonpatient (np) cannula that is inserted into a holder. Blood collection tubes are inserted for venous blood collection. The device contains an additional blood flash visibility feature to provide the HCW with confirmation that the vein has been accessed.
After blood collection, when the needle is removed from a vein, a drop of blood may form at the IV patient end of the needle. This droplet may cause blood splatter during activation of the safety shield. The Eclipse™ Signal™ Blood Collection Needle minimizes the size of the blood droplet and by design, draws the blood into the lumen of the needle and away from the healthcare professional.
The Eclipse™ Signal™ BCN has the same pivoting safety shield as the predicate Eclipse™ BCN. The device has a pivoting safety shield which is designed to be activated using a single-handed technique and gives an audible confirmation of the safety lock engagement. The shield locks
{4}------------------------------------------------
over and covers the needle after use, protecting the healthcare worker from an accidental needle stick injury.
The needles are manufactured in specific diameters and lengths. The color of the IV shield indicates the needle gauge (green shield for the 21G needle and black shield for the 22G needle).
The purpose of this Traditional 510(k) is to expand the product family with an additional safety blood collection needle with a flash visibility feature. The premarket notification also includes other small modifications to the needle hub, needle cannula, integrated holder and safety shield, The BD Vacutainer® Eclipse™ Signal™ Blood Collection Needle has the same intended use, operating principles and performance and scientific technology as the predicate device.
There are two variants of Eclipse™ Signal™ Blood Collection Needle (BCN) and a total of 4 models.
- BD Vacutainer® Eclipse™ Signal™ Blood Collection Needle, 21G and 22G .
- BD Vacutainer® Eclipse™ Signal™ Blood Collection Needle with Integrated Holder, . 21G and 22G.

## 4. Performance Data
Performance data was collected to ensure the modifications to the blood collection needle were not impacted by the addition of the flash chamber and related components in the blood fluid path. Performance studies include examining the specimen for hemolysis and specimen quality.
The results of all these tests either met the predetermined acceptance criteria and BD's internal specification or performed to the standard.
Modifications proposed to BD Vacutainer® Eclipse™ Signal™ Blood Collection Needle were evaluated using a risk management plan. This risk assessment process is performed in accordance with ISO14971. Biocompatibility testing included cytotoxicity (per ISO10993-5),
{6}------------------------------------------------
hemolysis (per ISO10993-4), acute systemic toxicity (per ISO10993-11), intracutaneous reactivity (per ISO10993-10), sensitization (per ISO10993-10), pyrogenicity (per ISO 10993-11) and chemical extractable analysis (per ISO 10993-18). The results were acceptable according to ISO 10993-1.
Design Verification activities such as Needle Penetration, Hub/Needle Bond Strength, Leak Testing and Needle Shield Removal Forces, Flash Reliability, Activation Force and Holder Detachment and Splatter Testing were performed to demonstrate that the subject device met BD's internal predetermined acceptance criteria.
The results of these activities mentioned in the table above (Risk Management, Biocompatibility and Design Verification activities) either met BD's internal specification or performed according to the standard. Thus these activities demonstrated that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
#### 5. Substantial Equivalence
The BD Vacutainer® Eclipse™ Signal™ Blood Collection Needle is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device, BD Vacutainer® Eclipse™ Blood Collection Needle (K982541) in intended use, principles of operation, technology, design, materials and performance.
Specifically, the BD Vacutainer® Eclipse™ Signal™ Blood Collection Needle and predicate device have the same intended use, namely single-patient, multiple-sample blood collection by health care professionals. The minor differences in the wording of the subject device's indications statement are for enhanced clarity and to reflect the updated flash technology; they do not alter the diagnostic/therapeutic purpose of the device or raise any new types of safety or effectiveness questions, as they do not alter how the device is used as compared to the predicate. Similarly, the minor differences in technological characteristics between the two devices do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness, with the additional flash feature not altering the subject device's blood collection functionality.
#### 6. Conclusion
The BD Vacutainer® Eclipse™ Signal™ Blood Collection Needle has been verified to meet the established performance criteria above. The results of the design verification testing demonstrate that the BD Vacutainer® Eclipse™ Signal™ Blood Collection Needle performs as intended and performs as well as the legally marketed predicate device.
