#### Device Description:

The Atrion Epidural Anesthesia Kit with NeedleVISE™ Sharps Securing System consists of components necessary for conducting repeated administration of anesthetic agents in the epidural space. The kit also contains the NeedleVISE™ sharps securing system which is a opidural opade, single patient procedure use, disposable device used for securing the specialized needles found in sterile anesthesiology procedural trays.

As provided to the user, the NeedleV/SE™ sharps securing system is retained in an upright position in the sterile procedure tray to allow for stability and one-hand insertion of sharps during a procedure. The healthcare professional using only one hand can render the sharps harmless while remaining with the patient in the sterile field. The purpose of the NeedleVISE™ sharps while rounsvitem is to provide a means to make engineered sharps control protection available within the sterile field, for all instances in which introduction of contaminated sharps containers is not acceptable.

### Intended Use:

The Atrion Epidural Anesthesia Kit is intended for use in the administration of anesthetic agents into the epidural space. It is recommended that the epidural catheter be removed or replaced every 72 hours.

The NeedleVISE™ sharps securing system is intended for use in sterile anesthesiology procedure trays as a sharps securing device for the contaminated specialized needles that do not have integral engineered sharps safety devices.

### Technological Characteristics:

All the components used in the Atrion Epidural Anesthesia Kit with NeedleVISE™ Sharps Securing System are legally marketed devices. The inclusion of these components in the kit will have the same implications as their current usage. The NeedleVISE™ sharps securing system has similar materials as the predicate products, but acts by locking the used sharp into a metal retaining clip contained within the plastic housing.

### Summary of Testing:

As the only new component to the kit, testing was conducted on the NeedleVISE™ sharps securing system. The tests included mechanical property testing to assess impact, stability, puncture and leak resistance. The results showed the NeedleVISE™ device to be substantially equivalent to the predicate sharps securing devices. Clinical utility was evaluated in field trials designed to assess ease of use.
