It is used to collect, transport, and process venous whole blood samples for coagulation assays. The device is intended for use by healthcare professionals in clinical settings. By providing a standardized environment for blood collection, it ensures the integrity of samples for subsequent laboratory coagulation testing, facilitating accurate clinical diagnosis and monitoring of coagulation-related conditions. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Equivalence was established by comparing assay results from paired blood samples collected in the subject MiniCollect® Coagulation tubes and the predicate VACUETTE® Coagulation tubes. ## Technological Characteristics Plastic blood collection tube containing 3.2% sodium citrate solution. Non-evacuated, non-sterile design. ## Regulatory Identification A blood specimen collection device is a device intended for medical purposes to collect and to handle blood specimens and to separate serum from nonserum (cellular) components prior to further testing. This generic type device may include blood collection tubes, vials, systems, serum separators, blood collection trays, or vacuum sample tubes. ## Predicate Devices - VACUETTE® Coagulation tube ([K971221](/device/K971221.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

("Greiner") is submitting a 510(k) pre-market notification for its Greiner MiniCollect® Coagulation tube with 3.2% sodium citrate solution for venous blood collection. The Greiner MiniCollect® is a non-sterile, non-evacuated blood collection device containing a 3.2% sodium citrate solution, intended to collect, transport, and process whole blood for coagulation testing. Greiner is claiming substantial equivalence to it's VACUETTE® Coagulation tube (K971221). Both blood collection tubes have intended use and are made out of plastic. The equivalence of assay results for both tubes was evaluated by testing paired samples collected in Greiner MiniCollect® Coagulation tubes and Greiner VACUETTE® Coagulation tubes. Greiner's 510(k) has been submitted on July 1, 1999 by Doug Harris, Managing Director, Greiner Meditech, Inc., 260 Gateway Drive, Suite 17A, Bel Air, MD 21014 (410/836-8228). {1}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/1/Picture/1 description: The image is a black and white logo for the Department of Health & Human Services - USA.

JUL 26 1999 Food and Drug Administration 2098 Gaither Road Rockville MD 20850 Mr. Douglas L. Harris Managing Director Greiner Meditech, Inc. P.O. Box 943 Bel Air, Maryland 21014 K992244 Re: Trade Name: MiniCollect® Coagulation Blood Collection Tube Regulatory Class: II Product Code: JKA Dated: July 2, 1999 Received: July 2, 1999 Dear Mr. Harris: We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we 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 (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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. If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations. {2}------------------------------------------------ ## Page 2 Under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA-88), this device may require a CLIA complexity categorization. To determine if it does, you should contact the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) at (770) 488-7655. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
