No reference devices were used in this submission. {4}------------------------------------------------ #### IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION The SPECTRA Disposable Single Lumen Echogenic Injection Anesthesia Conduction Needle consists of a stainless steel needle and a clear or colored (translucent) standard female Luer lock square or round Hub locking connector for rapid (flashback) visualization. The stainless steel needles are available with and without an echogenic feature (i.e. mechanical dimpling treatment to the needle point surface), and with or without lubrication. The needles are available in a range of wall thicknesses, gauges and lengths to match the end-user need (16 to 30 gauges). ### V. INIDCATIONS FOR USE The SPECTRA Disposable Single Lumen Echogenic Injection Anesthesia Conduction Needle is intended for use in injecting a single dose of local anesthetic or analgesic into a patient for regional anesthesia or pain therapy with the echogenic reflective pattern providing visualization of the needle tip using Ultrasound Imaging. The needles are intended to mate with the male connector of a Luer Lock or Luer Slip Syringe or an extension set. ## VI. COMPMARISOIN OF TECHNOLIGICAL CHARACTERISTICS IWHT THE PREDICATE DEVICE To inject fluids (drug solutions), or withdraw fluids from parts of the body below the surface of the skin is the technological principle for both the subject and predicate devices. It is based on the use of modules and accessories that are either connected internally or externally to the monitors in order to monitor the specific physiological parameter. At a high level, the subject and predicate devices are based on the following same technological characteristics: - . Design - . Materials of the needle - Sterility - . No thermal source - Indications for use ● The following technological differences exist between the subject and predicate devices: - . Additional or different sizes of needles are offered - Some additional/different materials are used for the Spectra hub designs - Physical dimensions - VII. DEVICE COMPARISON CHART See Appendix A {5}------------------------------------------------ #### VIII. PERFORMANCE DATA The following performance data was provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination. Mechanical Testing - Bond strength of hub and cannula - ISO 594-1 - ISO 7864:11 ● - Luer compatibility ● - Hub and Needle Strength #### BIOCOMPATIBILITY TESTING וא. The product contact materials utilized in the Disposable Single Lumen Echogenic Injection Anesthesia Conduction Needles have been well characterized chemically and physically. The following table indicates the individual biocompatibility tests performed on the Disposable Single Lumen Echogenic Injection Anesthesia Conduction Needles. | Test | Description | |--------------|------------------------------------------------------------| | ISO 10993-5 | Cytotoxicity Study Using the ISO Elution Method | | ISO 10993-4 | In Vitro Hemolysis Study (Modified ASTM-Extraction Method) | | ISO 10993-11 | USP and ISO Systemic Toxicity Study - Extracted | | ISO 10993-10 | ISO Intracutaneous Study - Extract | | ISO 10993-10 | ISO Maximization Sensitization Study - Extract | #### X. CONCLUSIONS The testing completed demonstrates that the Disposable Single Lumen Echogenic Injection Anesthesia Conduction Needles have exhibited comparable mechanical and functional characteristics to the predicate device in addition to being biocompatible acceptable. Based on these characteristics, the Disposable Single Lumen Echogenic Injection Anesthesia Conduction Needles, ARE substantially equivalent to the predicate device in addition to being intended for the same uses. {6}------------------------------------------------ # APPENDIX A {7}------------------------------------------------ | SPECTRA DEVICE | HAVEL'S | SIMILARITIES | DIFFERENCES | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Pending<br>21 CFR 868.5150<br>BSP | K063380<br>21 CFR 868.5150<br>BSP | N/A | N/A | | II | II | Same | None | | The SPECTRA Disposable<br>Single Lumen Echogenic<br>Injection Anesthesia<br>Conduction Needle is<br>intended for use in injecting a<br>single dose of local anesthetic<br>or analgesic into a patient for<br>regional anesthesia or pain<br>therapy with the echogenic<br>reflective pattern providing<br>visualization of the needle tip<br>using Ultrasound Imaging.<br>The needles are intended to<br>mate with the male<br>connector of a Luer Lock or<br>Luer Slip Syringe or an<br>extension set. | Havel's Electrically insulated<br>anesthesia conduction<br>needles are used to puncture<br>the tissue in order to gain<br>entry and locally inject<br>anesthetics to induce regional<br>anesthesia.
