Indications for Use
The Safety Insulin Syringe is a sterile, single use and non-reusable syringe intended for injection of U-100 insulin into the body, while reducing the risk of sharps injuries and the potential for insulin syringe reuse.
Device Story
Sterile, single-use, non-reusable piston syringe with permanently attached needle; available in 0.3ml, 0.5ml, 1ml volumes with 26G-34G needles. Device includes manual safety protector; after insulin injection, user manually slides protector over needle until locked to prevent accidental sticks. Used in clinical or home settings by patients or healthcare providers. Output is insulin delivery; safety mechanism provides physical barrier post-injection. Benefits include accurate insulin dosing and reduced risk of sharps injuries and syringe reuse.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical study included. Bench testing only. Performance validated per ISO 9626, ISO 7864, ISO 8537, and ISO 23908. Biocompatibility testing (ISO 10993) included cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, systemic toxicity, pyrogenicity, and hemocompatibility. Simulated clinical use study performed on 500 samples per FDA guidance for sharps injury prevention features; results met all pre-established criteria.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Polypropylene (cap, barrel, plunger, safety protector, hub, end cap), Stainless Steel 304 (needle), Polyisoprene Rubber (piston), Polydimethylsiloxane (lubricant), UV Curing Adhesive.

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.

# Discussions of differences in technological characteristics
#### Comment# 1
The configurations and raw materials of Safety Insulin Syringe are different from predicate device. These differences do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. The biocompatibility for the subject device has been evaluated and the results comply with the requirements of ISO 10993.
# Comment# 2
The needle gauge and length for proposed devices is different from the predicate devices. The differences do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.
# Comment# 3
The Safety feature performance specification for predicate device is a little difference. The safety mechanism of proposed device is implemented by the upper and lower buckle of the vertical axis (After the injection is completed, manually pull the safety protector toward the needle tip until it cannot slide anymore, the protection mechanism is triggered, the safety protector can't return, and the needle tube is completely protected by the safety protector). while the safety mechanism of predicate device is implemented by the convex points of the vertical axis + horizontal axis. However, the safety feature performance test for proposed device has been evaluated and the test result conforms to requirements of ISO 23908:2011 standards. Therefore, the differences on configuration and materials does not affect substantially equivalence.
