Indications for Use
PureWay Compliance 1.4 Quart Sharps Collector Container is single-use, disposable, non-sterile and intended to be used for healthcare purposes for safe containment and disposal of hazardous sharps such as hypodermic needles, syringes, lancets and blood needles. The target user is for healthcare professionals.
Device Story
The PureWay 1.4 Quart Sharps Collector is a single-use, non-sterile, injection-molded HDPE plastic container designed for the safe containment and disposal of hazardous sharps (e.g., hypodermic needles, syringes, lancets). The device features a conical base and a snap-on clamshell lid to ensure a tight seal. It is intended for use by healthcare professionals in clinical settings. The container is puncture-resistant, leak-resistant, and stable. It includes a fill line indicator to prevent overfilling. The device is operated manually; the user places sharps into the container through the access opening and snaps the lid closed when full. The device provides a secure, puncture-resistant environment for sharps disposal, reducing the risk of accidental needlestick injuries to healthcare staff.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. The device was tested for compliance with ISO 23907-1:2019, including container stability, resistance to penetration, resistance to damage/leakage after dropping and toppling, fill line indicator accuracy, and handle strength.
Technological Characteristics
Material: High Density Polyethylene (HDPE); Injection molded; Red color. Dimensions: 4.5" x 4.5" x 8". Capacity: 1.0 quart at fill line. Features: Conical base, snap-on clamshell lid, puncture/leak-resistant, fill line indicator. Standards: ISO 23907-1:2019. Sterilization: Non-sterile.
Indications for Use
Indicated for healthcare professionals for the safe containment and disposal of hazardous sharps, including hypodermic needles, syringes, lancets, and blood needles.
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.

Dear Jeffery Miglicco:
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.
