Intended Use

Verifine® Pen Needle is intended for use with pen injector device for the subcutaneous injection of drugs.

Device Story

Verifine® Pen Needles are single-use, non-pyrogenic, sterile hypodermic needles designed for manual attachment to pen injectors for subcutaneous drug administration. The device consists of a needle tube (stainless steel), hub, shield, and container. The user manually inserts the needle into the skin. The device is intended for over-the-counter (OTC) use. It facilitates drug delivery by providing a fluid path from the pen cartridge to the subcutaneous tissue. The device is available in various gauges and lengths to accommodate different clinical needs and pen injector models. It does not include integrated safety features.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data was necessary. Substantial equivalence was established through bench testing, including dimensional compliance, performance testing (dose accuracy, removal torque per ISO 11608-2), and biocompatibility testing (cytotoxicity, skin irritation, intracutaneous reactivity, and sensitization per ISO 10993-1).

Technological Characteristics

Single lumen hypodermic needle; stainless steel (X5CrNi18-10) tube; polypropylene (PP) hub/container; polyethylene (PE) needle shield; silicone oil lubricant; UV glue jointing; sterile (SAL 10^-6); manual operation; various gauges (29G-34G) and lengths (3.5mm-12mm); 3-bevel or 5-bevel tip options; compliant with ISO 11608-2.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use with pen injector devices for the subcutaneous injection of drugs in patients requiring such therapy.

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. The device consists of a metal tube that is sharpened at one end and at the other end joined to a female connector (hub) designed to mate with a male connector (nozzle) of a piston syringe or an intravascular administration set.

Device Description Verifine® Pen Needles, manufactured by Promisemed Hangzhou Meditech Co., Ltd, are designed for use with pen injectors for the administration of drugs. These are standard pen needles without integrated safety features. The devices are single-use, non-pyrogenic, and maintain a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10 °. The differences between the PromiseMed current cleared common type needle pen and the new design primarily involve changes to the trade name, the addition of new models, and modifications in some materials and dimensions. Key updates include a change in the trade name, the introduction of new models (FPN and NPN), the addition of new needle sizes and a 5-bevel needle tip option, and a shift from a specific intended use (administering insulin) to a general intended use (administering drugs). The materials used have also been slightly modified, such as changing the needle shield material from polypropylene (PP) to polyethylene (PE) for certain models, which only contact intact skin, ensuring no increased risk. These devices are intended for over-the-counter (OTC) use and require manual insertion by the user during drug administration. #### 7.

Additionally, the new needle sizes comply with standard specifications. Finally, unlike with the insulin needle in the predicate device, the subject device uses metric size instead of color, as there is no color requirement for pen needles in ISO 11608-2. - Material: The material of the subject device (IPN and FPN) needle shield has been changed to polyethylene (PE) from polypropylene (PP), which only contacts the skin. Biocompatibility testing was performed in accordance with ISO 10993 to support this change and does not raise new or different questions of safety and effectiveness. - Labeling: Subject device indications for use, warnings, directions for use, and compatible pens have been updated. This does not raise new or different questions of safety and effectiveness, as they are based on results/ review from the points identified above. That is, the device's functions remain the same. #### 9. Non-Clinical Performance Data To support substantial equivalence to the predicate device, Promisemed Hangzhou Meditech Co., Ltd. completed the following non-clinical tests. Results confirm that the design inputs and performance specifications for the device are met. #### Verification and Validation Activities - Design Changes: Needle Sizes: Additional sizes ranging from 0.33mm×12mm to 0.18mm×3.5mm were introduced to meet clinical needs, focusing on reducing outer diameter for increased patient comfort and ensuring safety by minimizing the risk of intramuscular injections. Compatible Pens: The pen needle compatibility was expanded to include additional pen models, such as ClikSTAR®, SoloSTAR®, and FlexTouch®, to address the evolving market and clinical requirements. Needle Shield Material: The needle shield material was changed from Polypropylene (PP) to Polyethylene (PE) to improve manufacturing efficiency. The new material was tested and found to be biocompatible and non-toxic as per ISO 10993-1. #### Testing Performed: Labeling and Dimensional Compliance: Visual inspections were conducted on unit packaging to ensure metric size labeling compliance with ISO 11608-2. The needle's dimensions, including the container, shield, and hub, were measured, and found to comply with drawing requirements. Performance Testing: The pen needles underwent performance testing (reports VR-20230818-02 and VR-20210528-03) to assess dose accuracy and needle removal torque. The testing confirmed that the needles meet the performance criteria outlined in ISO 11608-2. {10}------------------------------------------------ Biocompatibility Testing: The new Polyethylene (PE) material for the needle shield was tested for cytotoxicity, skin irritation, intracutaneous reactivity, and sensitization according to ISO 10993-1 standards. The results confirmed that the material is non-toxic and safe for use in its intended application. #### Test Results: All verification and validation tests passed without deviations, confirming that the Verifine® Pen Needles meet the necessary design specifications and regulatory requirements. The tests demonstrated that the product modifications did not introduce any new risks related to safety or effectiveness when compared to the predicate device. #### Conclusions: Based on the results of the non-clinical verification and validation activities, it can be concluded that the modified Verifine® Pen Needles are substantially equivalent to the predicate device K161950. The changes, including the addition of new needle sizes, compatible pens, and the material change of the needle shield, have been thoroughly evaluated and verified to meet all applicable performance and safety standards. Therefore, the device is as safe and effective as the predicate device for its intended use, and no new risks have been introduced. #### 10. Clinical Performance Data No clinical data was necessary to determine the substantial equivalence of this device. ### 11. Statement of Substantial Equivalence The Verifine® Pen Needles have the same indications for use as the predicate devices listed above. Any minor differences in the technological characteristics of the subject device when compared to the predicate devices have been successfully evaluated through appropriate safety and performance testing which demonstrates that the subject device, when compared to the predicate device, does not raise any new questions of safety and effectiveness. Therefore, the Verifine® Pen Needles have been determined to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
