Intended Use

The Qlicksmart BladeFlask PLUS is a single-use sharps container with a scalpel blade removal function intended to permit the safe removal of scalpel blades from most currently available scalpel handles and contain the blade immediately upon removal to eliminate the need for further handling prior to be disposed as medical waste while allowing the user to monitor its use to see when it is becoming full and will need changing.

Device Story

Single-use sharps container with integrated scalpel blade removal mechanism; used in clinical settings to remove blades from handles via single-handed action; immediately contains blades to prevent injury. Device features mechanical counting and automatic shut-off system triggered after ~100 blades; prevents overfilling. Constructed of hard plastic (ABS) and hardened steel. Operated by clinicians; mounted via bracket or tape. Benefits include reduced risk of sharps injury by eliminating manual blade handling. Disposed as hazardous waste when full; not intended for reprocessing.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only. Performance verified via ISO 23907-1 (container stability, handle strength, penetration resistance, drop/leakage testing) and UN transport standards. Functional testing confirmed blade removal, counting accuracy (100±5 blades), and automatic shut-off mechanism performance.

Technological Characteristics

Hard plastic (ABS) sharps container; hardened steel blade removal mechanism. Dimensions: 13.5cm x 9.1cm x 12.3cm. Mechanical counting and automatic shut-off system. Single-use; non-sterile. Mounted via hardware bracket or adhesive. Complies with ISO 23907-1 and AS 4031-1992.

Indications for Use

Indicated for safe removal and containment of scalpel blades from compatible handles (Swann Morton, Lawton, Martin, Aesculap, Sayco, Smic, Nopa, AB Stainless, Lance, Pro-Med, Paragon, Rocket, Conqueror, Feather, LRI, Generic, L-dent, Medesy, Jakobi, CS, Helmut Zepf) in clinical settings. Contraindicated for Beaver-type and disposable handles.

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 Carlos Castellanos:

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

#### TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS COMPARISON OF WITH THE VI. PREDICATE DEVICE

A sharps container with a scalpel blade removal function that is used under non-sterile conditions is the technological principle for both the subject and predicate devices. It is based on the use of a mechanism for removing scalpel blades from scalpel handles in a single-handed action and then immediately contains the used scalpel blade inside the device.
