Intended Use

The Sparta Infusion Set for Insulin is indicated for the subcutaneous infusion of insulin, administered by an external pump. The infusion set is indicated for use with adult and pediatric users weighing greater than 10 kg. The infusion set is indicated for single-use.

Device Story

Sparta Infusion Set is a sterile, single-use subcutaneous infusion set; establishes sealed fluid path from external portable insulin pump to patient. Device consists of infusion site, preloaded single-use mechanical inserter, and 23-inch tubing with Luer connector. Inserter uses introducer needle to place 6 mm, 90° soft polypropylene cannula into subcutaneous tissue; features automatic needle retraction for safety and inserter lock. Used by patients in home or clinical settings. Healthcare provider or patient operates inserter to place cannula; tubing connects to pump. Output is continuous insulin delivery. Benefits include reliable subcutaneous access for insulin therapy.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical trials performed. Evidence consists of bench testing (leak resistance, insertion performance, needle safety, occlusion, particulate, coring, cannula strength, operating conditions, shipping/storage, biocompatibility, sterilization) and simulated-use human factors validation (n=33, including independent adult users and pediatric/caregiver dyads). Insulin compatibility testing confirmed preservative loss performance equivalent to marketed devices. Pump compatibility testing confirmed no adverse impact on DEKA ACE pump performance.

Technological Characteristics

Sterile, single-use subcutaneous infusion set. Materials: Polypropylene cannula, non-woven adhesive. 6 mm, 90° cannula. 23-inch (58.4 cm) tubing. Luer lock connection. Mechanical inserter with automatic needle retraction. Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide (EO) per ISO 11135. Biocompatibility per ISO 10993-1. Standards: ISO 11138, ISO 11737, ANSI/AAMI ST72, ASTM F1980, ISO 11607.

Indications for Use

Indicated for subcutaneous insulin infusion via external pump in adult and pediatric patients weighing >10 kg. Single-use only.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An intravascular administration set is a device used to administer fluids from a container to a patient's vascular system through a needle or catheter inserted into a vein. The device may include the needle or catheter, tubing, a flow regulator, a drip chamber, an infusion line filter, an I.V. set stopcock, fluid delivery tubing, connectors between parts of the set, a side tube with a cap to serve as an injection site, and a hollow spike to penetrate and connect the tubing to an I.V. bag or other infusion fluid container.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control for pharmacy compounding systems within this classification is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Pharmacy Compounding Systems; Final Guidance for Industry and FDA Reviewers.” Pharmacy compounding systems classified within the intravascular administration set are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of this part and subject to the limitations in § 880.9.

Predicate Devices

Dear Paul Smolenski:

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"

Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality System (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, 21 CFR 820.30, Design controls; 21 CFR 820.90, Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).

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 801 and Part 809); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reporting-combination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.

All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rule"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E). For additional information on these requirements, please see the UDI System webpage at https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system-udi-system.
