Indications for Use
The ZeroClear™ Bag Access is a component of the ProSeal™ Closed System drug Transfer Device (CSTD) system. The ProSeal™ CSTD mechanically prohibits environmental contaminants from entering the system and the escape of drug or vapor concentrations from the system, thereby minimizing individual and environmental exposure to drug vapor, aerosols, and spills. The ProSeal™ system also prevents the introduction of microbial contaminations into the drug or fluid path for up to 7 days when used as intended.
Device Story
ZeroClear™ Bag Access is a component of the ProSeal™ Closed System Transfer Device (CSTD). It facilitates the transfer of parenteral drugs from standard IV bags to patients. The device features a bi-directional Luer lock connector (ISO 80369-7:2021) and an IV bag spike (ISO 8536-4:2019). It connects to IV bags and matching component devices to create an airtight, leak-proof fluid path. Used by healthcare professionals in clinical settings, it minimizes exposure to hazardous drug vapors, aerosols, and spills, and prevents microbial ingress for up to 7 days. The device is single-use and sterile. Healthcare providers use the system to safely reconstitute and transfer hazardous medications, reducing occupational exposure risks and maintaining drug sterility.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Performance verified via microbial ingress (ANSI AAMI CN27:2021), leak integrity (ISO 8536-4:2019), vapor containment (NIOSH 2016), tensile strength, and spike penetration. Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993 series (cytotoxicity, sensitization, intracutaneous reactivity, acute systemic toxicity, hemolysis, pyrogenicity).
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Spike (ABS), Medication port (ABS, polycarbonate, silicone). Connectivity: Luer lock (ISO 80369-7:2021), IV bag spike (ISO 8536-4:2019). Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide (SAL 10^-6). Shelf-life: 3 years. Packaging: Medical grade paper/plastic film. Single-use, sterile, gravity feed compatible.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use by healthcare professionals, including pharmacists, in clinical settings for handling hazardous drugs and infusing IV fluids/drug solutions from standard IV bags to patients.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

Dear Freddie Lee:
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"
