| Decision | SESE |
| Submission Type | Traditional |
| Regulation | 21 CFR 880.5570 |
| Device Class | Class 2 |
Indications for Use
The containers are 100 times reusable, non-sterile, intended to be used for healthcare purposes for safe disposal of hazardous sharps such as hypodermic needles, syringes, lancets, and blood needles. The target population is qualified personnel in healthcare facilities and other facilities in which medical sharps may be used. All device models are not for use in areas with unsupervised patient access. All device models only are used with appropriate mounting accessories.
Device Story
Tiger Reusable Sharps Containers are injection-molded polypropylene/polyethylene receptacles for hazardous sharps (needles, syringes, lancets). Used in healthcare settings by qualified personnel; not for areas with unsupervised patient access. Containers are puncture-resistant, leak-resistant, and impact-resistant; feature gravity-activated apertures and permanent/temporary locking mechanisms. Mounted via wall brackets or enclosures. Reusable up to 100 times; requires cleaning and disinfection between cycles. Provides safe containment during storage and transport; prevents accidental needlestick injuries.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Performance testing included puncture resistance (ASTM F2132-01), DOT drop/stacking/vibration tests (49 CFR 178), container stability, aperture/closure integrity, and accessory strength (ISO 23907). Biological testing (ISO 10993-5, -10) confirmed non-cytotoxic, non-sensitizing, and non-irritating properties. Cleaning and disinfection validation (AAMI TIR 30, ISO/DIS 15883-5) confirmed efficacy with a decontamination assurance level of 10^-4.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Polypropylene (INEOS PP N02G-00) base, HDPE (ExxonMobil 6719) lid. Design: Injection-molded, reusable, non-sterile. Features: Gravity-activated aperture, permanent/temporary locking mechanisms. Standards: ISO 23907, ISO 23907-2, ASTM F2132-01, 49 CFR 178.603/606/608. Connectivity: None. Energy: None (mechanical).
Indications for Use
Indicated for safe disposal, storage, and transportation of hazardous sharps in healthcare facilities, including nursing stations, medication carts, laboratories, dental offices, emergency rooms, surgical rooms, treatment rooms, emergency vehicles, veterinarian offices, and other small quantity waste generators.
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.

### Dear Charles Mack:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part
{2}------------------------------------------------
801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4. Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).
