Regulation
21 CFR 878.4850
Device Class
Class 2
Intended Use
It is intended for capillary blood sampling.
Device Story
Disposable Sterile Lancet is a single-use, pressure-activated device designed for capillary blood sampling. It consists of a housing, fire button, springs, and a stainless steel needle. Operated by healthcare personnel or patients, the device is pressed against the skin to trigger the needle, which automatically retracts into the housing after use to prevent sharps injuries. The device is provided sterile via radiation. It is used in clinical or home settings to obtain blood samples for diagnostic testing. The device provides a safe, disposable mechanism for skin puncture, reducing the risk of accidental needlestick injuries compared to manual lancets.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Performance verified against design specifications including appearance, dimensions, puncture depth, launch performance, and needle firmness. Biocompatibility testing (cytotoxicity, irritation, sensitization, acute systemic toxicity, pyrogenicity) performed per ISO 10993 standards. Sterility validated per ISO 11137.
Technological Characteristics
Single-use, pressure-activated blood lancet. Materials: stainless steel needle, ABS/PP plastic housing. Needle lengths: 0.7mm to 3.0mm. Sterilization: radiation (SAL 10^-6). Shelf life: 5 years. Mechanical actuation via internal springs.
Indications for Use
Indicated for capillary blood sampling in healthcare personnel, patients, and lay users.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
The regulation covers four types of blood lancets: (a) Single use only blood lancet with an integral sharps injury prevention feature; (b) Single use only blood lancet without an integral sharps injury prevention feature; (c) Multiple use blood lancet for single patient use only; and (d) Multiple use blood lancet for multiple patient use. All are defined as disposable or reusable devices comprised of a blade attached to a base used to puncture the skin to obtain a drop of blood for diagnostic purposes.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special controls are:(i) The design characteristics of the device must ensure that the structure and material composition are consistent with the intended use and must include a sharps injury prevention feature.
(ii) Mechanical performance testing must demonstrate that the device will withstand forces encountered during use and that the integral sharps injury prevention feature will irreversibly disable the device after one use.
(iii) The device must be demonstrated to be biocompatible.
(iv) Sterility testing must demonstrate the sterility of any device component that breaches the skin (
*e.g.,* blade).(v) Labeling must include:
(A) Detailed descriptions, with illustrations, of the proper use of the device and its sharps injury prevention feature.
(B) Handwashing instructions for the user before and after use of the device.
(C) Instructions on preparation (

#### Dear Qiusheng Jiang:
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

Note 1: The classification and regulation number are different because FDA issued the final order about reclassification of Blood Lancet Nov 22, 2021.
Note 2: The raw materials of the proposed devices may be different from the predicate device. However, all the materials are known biocompatible materials that have been used in lancets or other similar medical devices.
Note 3: The length for the proposed device is wider than the predicate device K192666. Concerning the differences to the predicate devices, testing is done to the representative length of the proposed device, which are the extreme conditions for the device, that is length of 0.7mm (to review whether the length is long enough to get the required penetration), and length of 3.0mm (to review whether the length is too long to affect the retraction of the needle-tip after the product is activated). And based on the testing report, it is showed that the performance and safety feature for the products are not affected.
There are no significant differences between the two products and are identical in terms of intended use, design and technological characteristics.
