These trays are a compilation of the preparatory and surgical components required for administering anesthesia. The trays may include components such as; needles, syringes, filters, catheters, gloves, gauze sponges, drapes, and drugs. The components are placed into a plastic tray, wrapped in CSR wrap, sealed, and sterilized by ethylene oxide. The trays are available in standard component configurations or can be customized to meet the needs of an individual user. All componentry supplied in these kits are from an approved list of components which are legally marketed devices. # INDICATIONS FOR USE SIMS’ Regional Anesthesia Trays are used to administer to a patient regional or local anesthesia. # TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS All components used in our Regional Anesthesia Trays are legally marketed devices. The inclusion of these components in these trays will have the same biocompatibility implications as their current usage. The modified epidural catheter connector housing is constructed of the same materials as is currently used in the device. The insert does not contact the patient or the fluid path, as such, there are no toxicological implications with the insert. # SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE DATA Testing of the epidural catheter connector was performed in accordance with BS 6196. Performance testing of the proposed modification to the epidural catheter connector demonstrates that it performed equal to or better than our current epidural catheter connector. # SUMMARY OF NONCLINICAL AND CLINICAL TESTS There were no nonclinical or clinical tests submitted with this submission. # CONCLUSION OF NONCLINICAL AND CLINICAL TESTS There were no nonclinical or clinical tests submitted with this submission. # ADDITIONAL INFORMATION None Very truly yours, Smiths Industries Medical Systems, Inc. dba Concord/Portex ![img-0.jpeg](img-0.jpeg) Timothy J.
