Indications for Use
The Blood Transfer Accessory is a sterile non invasive device for use in venous blood collection procedures in combination with blood collection devices with a male luer feature.
Device Story
Blood Transfer Accessory (BTA) is a single-use, sterile, non-invasive device for venous blood collection. It consists of a polypropylene holder with a female luer feature, a stainless-steel needle, and a rubber sleeve. The device connects to blood collection devices with a male luer feature. During use, a sample collection tube is inserted into the holder; the needle pierces the tube to facilitate blood transfer. The holder design protects the user from needle sticks and direct blood contact. After collection, the tube is removed. The device is intended for use by healthcare personnel or users in clinical settings. It functions as a mechanical interface to safely transfer blood from a venous access point to a collection tube.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including biocompatibility (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, acute systemic toxicity, pyrogenicity, hemocompatibility) and mechanical performance testing (flow rate, leakage, insertion/evacuation force, needle/sleeve holding strength, and deformation resistance).
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Polypropylene holder, Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) adapter, stainless-steel needle, rubber sleeve. Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide (EtO) to SAL 10^-6 per ISO 11135:2014. Connectivity: Mechanical interface (female luer). Standards: ISO 80369-7:2016, ISO 80369-20:2015, ISO 10993 series.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use in venous blood collection procedures in combination with blood collection devices with a male luer feature.

# 7. TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS COMPARISON
The Blood Transfer Accessory (BTA)device has similarities with the predicate device in areas such as Intended Use, Product Configuration, and performance. The only difference between the subject device and the predicate device is in the use of material for the part, Adapter. The Blood Transfer Accessory (BTA) uses the polymer material, Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) while the predicate device uses the polymer material, Polycarbonate (PC). Biocompatibility tests and performance tests based on international standards demonstrated the device performs as intended.
{6}------------------------------------------------
In addition the indications for use statement is different in that the subject device connects to male luer blood collection devices and the predicate device specifies the devices it may connect to. Performance testing demonstrated that this does not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness.
## 8. PERFORMANCE DATA/NON-CLINICAL TESTING
The Blood Transfer Accessory (BTA)was tested for validation and verification of functions based on risk analysis and the results passed predetermined acceptance criteria.
## Biocompatibility
Biocompatibility was evaluated per the FDA Guidance titled Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, "Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process" – Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff issued in June 2016 with the following endpoints:
Cytotoxicity Sensitization Irritation Acute Systemic Toxicity Pyrogenicity Hemocompatibility (Coagulation, Platelets and Hemolysis)
## Performance Data
Performance testing was carried out on the Blood Transfer Accessory (BTA) using applicable international standards as reference and predicate device as benchmark for comparison.
- . Luer Lok Adapter
For international standard related test, the Luer Lok adapter is tested with reference to the ISO 80369-7:2016 and ISO 80369-20:2015.
- PerformanceTesting
As for the benchmarking tests related to the predicate device, blood collection performances such as the flow rate and quality of holder, holding strength of sleeve to adapter and needle to adapter are assessed and compared against that of the predicate device. The test methods employed are as summarized below:
- o Flow Rate The time taken to fill up a 3.0 ml blood collection Test tube with liquid of viscosity similar to blood is recorded.
- With the device held in place by a fixture, the o Leakage Testmaximum numbers of round of insertion and evacuation of blood collection tube the device can withstand before leakage start occurring at the device is recorded.

- With the adapter held in place by a fixture, the o Holding Strength of sleeve is pulled in a direction away from the adapter and the force taken to dislodge the sleeve Sleeve to from the adapter is recorded. Adapter Test -
- o Deformation The device is held in place by a fixture and a 5 kg Test force is applied on the device for a period of 5 minutes. The permanent change in outer diameter of the holder of the device before and after compression by the applied force is measured and recorded. This test assesses the quality of the holder.
#### ● Sterilization
Sterilization is done in accordance to ISO 11135-1:2014.
The Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) is 10-6.
#### SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE CONCLUSION 9.
The result of non-clinical testing demonstrates that the Blood Transfer Accessory (BTA) is substantially equivalent to the predicate device Vacutainer® Brand Multiple Sample Luer Adapter and has been demonstrated to meet its predetermined specifications.
