Indications for Use
3MTM Curos™ Tamper-Evident Device: The 3M™ Curos™ Tamper-Evident Device is intended to be used as a tamper-evident cover for vascular access devices for IV access points including needleless connectors and Y-sites on IV tubing. This device provides visual indication to suspect tampering. This is not a tamper-proof device. 3MTM Curos™ Tamper-Evident Device, Large: The 3M™ Curos™ Tamper-Evident Device, Large is intended to be used as a tamper-evident cover on vascular access device needleless connectors including Y-sites on IV tubing, and infusing connections, providing visual indication of attempts to tamper with or remove the device provides visual indication to suspect tampering. This is not a tamper-proof device.
Device Story
Device is a non-sterile, one-piece plastic housing with an enclosing lid and a green tamper-evident strap. Used in hospitals and clinics to cover vascular access device needleless connectors and Y-sites on IV tubing. Healthcare professionals apply the device over the connector; the strap is folded over the lid to secure the latch. The transparent material allows visualization of the connector; the green strap provides visual indication of tampering or attempted removal. If the strap is separated, the tear strip is broken, or the device is missing, tampering is suspected. Designed for removal via a single-use tear strip when IV access is required. Benefits include providing visual evidence of unauthorized access to IV lines, helping maintain the integrity of the vascular access site.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing performed to verify tamper-evidence, repeated application/removal, and functionality of the tear strip. Biocompatibility testing conducted per ISO 10993-1 for surface-contacting devices with permanent duration (>30 days), including cytotoxicity, sensitization, and irritation.
Technological Characteristics
One-piece plastic housing with enclosing lid and green tamper-evident strap. Available in two sizes. Features a side door for Y-site tubing and a tear strip for removal. Non-sterile. Biocompatibility per ISO 10993-1.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring vascular access devices; used as a tamper-evident cover for IV access points, including needleless connectors and Y-sites on IV tubing.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A percutaneous, implanted, long-term intravascular catheter is a device that consists of a slender tube and any necessary connecting fittings, such as luer hubs, and accessories that facilitate the placement of the device. The device allows for repeated access to the vascular system for long-term use of 30 days or more, and it is intended for administration of fluids, medications, and nutrients; the sampling of blood; and monitoring blood pressure and temperature. The device may be constructed of metal, rubber, plastic, composite materials, or any combination of these materials and may be of single or multiple lumen design.

Dear Hilary Hovde:
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
{1}------------------------------------------------
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 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.

The device performance was verified through the following tests:
| Test | Results |
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------|
| <b>Confirmation of Tamper-Evidence</b><br>Device exhibits signs of tampering | Passed |
| <b>Repeated Application and Removal of Device from IV lines</b><br>Catheter shows no sign of leakage after removal | Passed |
| <b>Removable by Design</b><br>Device can be removed from IV Line by single-use tear strip | Passed |
## Biocompatibility
Device samples passed the following biocompatibility tests performed in accordance with ISO 10993-1, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices – Part 1: Evaluation and Testing within a Risk Management Process as recognized by FDA. The 3M™ Curos™ Tamper-Evident Device is categorized as a surface contacting device, with intact skin contact of permanent duration (> 30 days) in accordance with ISO 10993-1 and FDA Guidance, Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices – Part 1: Evaluation and Testing within a Risk Management Process. " The battery of tests included the following:
