Indications for Use
Tamper Evident Caps are indicated for use as a sterile tamper evident cap for IV syringes.
Device Story
The TrueCare Biomedix Tamper Evident Cap is a sterile, single-use female luer lock cap designed for attachment to male luer ports on IV syringes. It features a clear outer shell/housing that provides visual evidence of tampering; the shell separates from the cap upon opening and cannot be reattached. Used by pharmacy compounding personnel and healthcare professionals, the device reduces the risk of touch contamination and medication leakage during syringe handling. The device is provided sterile via ethylene oxide and is intended for indirect blood contact (limited duration).
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance testing included ISO 80369-7 compliance for luer connectors, pull-off force testing, and tamper-evidence functional testing. Biocompatibility testing (ISO 10993-1) included cytotoxicity, sensitization, intracutaneous reactivity, material-mediated pyrogenicity, acute systemic toxicity, and hemocompatibility. Sterility validation (ISO 11135) achieved SAL 10^-6 with EO/ECH residuals within limits. Packaging integrity and shelf-life verified per ISO 11607, ASTM F1886, F1929, F88, D4169, F1980, and ISTA 2A.
Technological Characteristics
Female luer lock cap with clear tamper-evident outer shell. Materials: PP 1024 polypropylene (indirect patient contact) and Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (non-patient contact). Sterilization: Ethylene oxide (SAL 10^-6). Complies with ISO 80369-7 for small-bore connectors.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as a sterile tamper evident cap for IV syringes in pharmacy compounding and clinical settings.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A piston syringe is a device intended for medical purposes that consists of a calibrated hollow barrel and a movable plunger. At one end of the barrel there is a male connector (nozzle) for fitting the female connector (hub) of a hypodermic single lumen needle. The device is used to inject fluids into, or withdraw fluids from, the body.

## Discussion of differences in Indications for Use statement:
The indication for use statement for the subject device is identical to the predicate.
#### VII. Summary of Technological Characteristics
Luer fittings are commonly used on syringes to provide universal compatibility. Luer lock fittings are securely joined by means of a tabbed hub on the female fitting which screws into threads in a sleeve on the male fitting. The subject device has been designed to be used with standard male luer connections on syringes.
The subject device's clear outer shell/housing provides tamper evidence if the cap or the contents of the container is tampered with prior to clinical administration. Once removed, the shell/housing cannot be replaced back onto the luer cap, thus making it obvious if someone has previously attempted to remove the cap and/or attempted to tamper with the contents of the syringe.
The subject TrueCare Biomedix Tamper Evident Cap is packaged in a bulk pharmacy tray with 25 caps per tray and is provided sterile via ethylene oxide sterilization.

## Sterility
A sterilization validation was conducted to ensure a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10° using the half-cycle overkill method in compliance with ISO 11135 Sterilization of healthcare products - Ethylene oxide - Requirements for the development, validation and routine control of a sterilization process for medical devices.
EO and ECH residual testing was completed for the subject device per ISO 10993-7 Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 7: Ethylene oxide sterilization residuals and the devices met the limits of < 4mg/device and < 9mg/device, respectively.
The sterile subject devices were evaluated for the potential to produce a pyrogenic response. The Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) test was used to test for Bacterial Endotoxins as part of process validations, and the devices met the limits of < 20 EU/device. Additionally, material-mediated pyrogen testing conducted as part of the biocompatibility testing conducted in support of this submission.
{7}------------------------------------------------
The subject device is currently labeled with a 3-year shelf life based on shelf life verification testing. Packaging system characteristics and integrity testing was conducted in accordance with the following standards:
- ISO 11607-1 Packaging for terminally sterilized medical devices Part 1: Requirements for materials, sterile barrier systems and packaging systems
- ISO 11607-2 Packaging for terminally sterilized medical devices Part 2: Validation requirements for forming, sealing and assembly processes
- . ASTM F1886 Standard Test Method for Determining Integrity of Seals for Flexible Packaging by Visual Inspection
- . ASTM F1929 Standard Test Method for Detecting Seal Leaks in Porous Medical Packaging by Dye Penetration
- . ASTM F88/F88M Standard Test Method for Seal Strength of Flexible Barrier Materials
- . ASTM D4169 Standard Practice for Performance Testing of Shipping Containers and Systems
