# Dear Benjamin Rappaport:
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 (the 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 available 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.
Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).

### f. Device Description
The Hypodermic Needle-Pro® EDGE™ Safety Device with Syringe is intended for injection or aspiration of fluids using a Luer lock (LL) or Luer slip syringe. The device is provided sterile and is for single use only. The Hypodermic Needle-Pro® EDGE™ Safety Device with Syringe is an extension of Smiths Medical's Hypodermic Needle-Pro® EDGE™ product portfolio. The Low Dead-Space (LD) Syringe new component - is added to form new device combo with the previously cleared Hypodermic Needle-Pro® EDGE™ Safety Device. The device combo is intended to offer an optimization of the volume of fluids injected to patients, and thus reduce the amount of medical product remaining in the needle and the syringe's hub after injection.
The Needle-Protection (Needle-Pro) EDGE™ safety device covers the needle after use to help prevent needle sticks. The device features a one-viece design of polypropylene needle hub and protective sheath with a living hinge. The stainless-steel needle cannula is permanently affixed into the hub. After a procedure is completed, the needle is pressed into the sheath using a one-handed technique and the needle is contained within the sheath.
The Low Dead-Space (LD) Syringe is a new component to be used along with the Hypodermic Needle-Pro® EDGE™ Safety Device. The LD Syringe is designed with luer lock (LL) connection to provide a secure and leak-free connection between the syringe and the needle and maintain a continuous lumen for fluid flow. The LD Syringe plunger is designed for less product waste without changing the use of the device. The Syringe plunger tip extends into the syringe neck reducing fluid waste. The fluid waste is about 0.010 mL (10 µL), max = 0.015 mL (15 µL) for the LD syringe.
#### g. Technological Characteristics Compared to Predicate Device
The Hypodermic Needle-Pro® EDGE™ Safety Device with Syringe is substantially equivalent in performance, indication, design, and materials to the current Hypodermic Needle-Pro® EDGE™ Safety Device with Syringe, cleared under Premarket notification K211634.
The introduction of the proposed configuration has modified the existing syringe by lengthening 0.043". The physical characteristics differ in the materials used, which are addressed through biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993-1:2018. The differences are in comparison with the predicate: Hypodermic Needle-Pro® EDGETM Safety Device with Syringe.
