Provides protection against accidental needle stick injuries during handling and disposal. Device functions with standard VACUTAINER® needle holders.

Clinical Evidence

Simulated use testing conducted with a panel of twenty healthcare professionals. Evaluated reliable shield activation in a blood-drawing environment, blood splatter, ease of activation, technique, handedness, and single-handed operation. No clinical patient data; bench testing confirmed mechanical performance.

Technological Characteristics

Sterile, single-use, multiple-sample blood collection needle with integrated hinged safety shield. Materials identical to conventional VACUTAINER® needles. Mechanical activation mechanism; manual operation. No electronic components or software.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use in venipuncture to obtain blood samples. Intended for use by healthcare professionals for blood collection, with an integrated safety shield to prevent accidental needle stick injuries.

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.

#### II. Safety and Effectiveness Information Supporting the Substantial Equivalence Determination

Substantial Equivalence Declaration:

The term "Substantial Equivalence" as used in this 510(k) Premarket Notification is limited to the definition of Substantial Equivalence found in the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended and as applied under 21 CFR § 807, Subpart E, under which a device can be marketed without premarket approval or reclassification. A determination of substantial equivalency under this notification is not intended to have any bearing whatsoever on the resolution of patent infringement suits or any other patent matters. No statements related to, or in support of, substantial equivalence herein shall be construed as an admission against interest under the US Patent Laws or their application by the courts.

- Device Description:
The VACUTAINER® Brand ECLIPSE™ Blood Collection Needle is a sterile, multiple sample, single-use device for blood collection. The needle is designed with an attached safety shield, which can be activated to cover the needle immediately after venipuncture to provide protection from accidental needle sticks.

- . Intended Use:
VACUTAINER® Brand ECLIPSE™ Blood Collection Needle is designed for use with VACUTAINER® Brand Blood Collection Needle Holders in performing venipuncture to obtain blood samples. After venipuncture, the safety shield is activated with thumb pressure. The hinged safety shield pivots up and over the needle, locking into place. In the activated position, the safety shield protects against accidental needle stick during normal handling and disposal.

Synopsis of Test Methods and Results .

The VACUTAINER® Brand ECLIPSE™ Blood Collection Needle will be made using components that are identical to the conventional VACUTAINER® Brand Blood Collection Needle and function in blood collection is inherently equivalent. It is similar to the VACUTAINER® Brand Safety Blood Collection Assembly in that it has an attached safety shield that can be conveniently activated by the user after phlebotomy to provide protection from accidental needle stick injury. Mechanical Testing was used to confirm acceptable forces to activate the safety shielding including lock engagement and to evaluate conditions and forces under which the safety mechanism can be defeated. Simulated Use Testing by a panel of twenty healthcare professionals was used to confirm reliable shield activation in a blood drawing environment, to observe blood splatter, and to evaluate ease of activation. Other considerations such as technique, right/left handedness, and single-handed operation were also observed. Based on the above, the device is believed to provide performance in blood collection equivalent to the predicate

conventional blood collection needle and to provide a convenient and effective cannula shielding.

- Substantial Equivalence .
Based on comparison of the device features, materials, and intended use, the VACUTAINER® Brand ECLIPSE™ Blood Collection Needle can be shown to be substantially equivalent to the commercially available predicate devices identified below:
