Indications for Use
It is intended for use by health care professionals for puncture, drainage and fluid collection of the anterior chamber of the eye. Its operation is manual. The Disposable Aqueous Humor Collector is single use only. The Disposable Aqueous Humor Collector is suitable for ophthalmic use.
Device Story
Disposable Aqueous Humor Collector is a manual, single-use ophthalmic syringe system designed for the puncture, drainage, and collection of aqueous humor from the anterior chamber of the eye. The device consists of a needle, needle seat, cylinder body, plunger, and associated seals. It is operated manually by a healthcare professional. The device functions by inserting the needle into the anterior chamber to withdraw a specific volume of fluid (50μL or 100μL) into the collection tube. The output is the collected aqueous humor sample, which is then used for clinical analysis or diagnostic purposes. By providing a sterile, dedicated tool for fluid collection, the device facilitates safe and precise sampling of ocular fluid, aiding in the diagnosis or management of ophthalmic conditions.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing performed per ISO 7886-1, ISO 9626, and ISO 7864. Biocompatibility testing conducted per ISO 10993 series for externally communicating devices with limited contact. Particulate matter testing performed per USP <788> and USP <789>. Bacterial endotoxin testing performed per USP <85> and ANSI AAMI ST72. An OUS clinical study demonstrated the effectiveness of the 50μL model in collecting the intended volume of liquid.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: MABS (sheath, cylinder), ASTM 304 Stainless Steel (needle), Polypropylene (seat), Natural rubber (needle sheath), Butyl Rubber (plug), Polyethylene terephthalate (tube), Silica gel (ring), ABS (push rod/buckle). Dimensions: 50μL/100μL volumes; 25G/27G needles. Manual operation. Sterile (irradiation, SAL 10^-6). Biocompatibility: ISO 10993 compliant. Performance standards: ISO 7886-1, ISO 9626, ISO 7864.
Indications for Use
Indicated for health care professionals to perform puncture, drainage, and fluid collection of the anterior chamber of the eye in ophthalmic procedures. Single-use only.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

Dear Eric Shi:
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).

Note 1: The subject device, which is intended to withdraw fluids from the body, is appropriate for marketing under the regulations for piston syringe, 21 CFR 880.5860, and hypodermic single lumen needle, 21 CFR 880.5570.
However, after collecting aqueous humor from the eye, this device does not have the function of injection.
This difference in indications for use between the subject and predicate device does not raise new or different questions of safety and effectiveness.
Note 2: The volume of the subject device is smaller than that of the Predicate Device.
The parameters of the subject device's Needle Gauge and Needle Length are smaller than the Predicate Device. The technological characteristics of the subject device are substantially equivalent to the predicate device with differences in the device materials, syringe volume, needle gauge, and needle length. The differences in volume and needle gauge/length do not raise new or different questions of safety and effectiveness.
Note 3: The sterilization method of the subject device is different as the sterilization of the predicate device. However, they all have SAL of $10^{-6}$. The difference in sterilization method does not raise new or different questions of safety and effectiveness.
