The CHIRAVAC™ Blood Collection Needles are single use and are intended for venous blood collection in connection with blood collection tubes.
Device Story
Device is a double-ended hollow stainless steel cannula with a threaded polypropylene hub and a rubber sleeve; used for venous blood collection. Healthcare professional punctures vein with intravenous end; attaches evacuated blood collection tube to non-patient end. Rubber sleeve acts as a non-return valve, allowing multiple tube changes during a single venipuncture. Device is supplied sterile (ethylene oxide). No electronic components or software.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing included ISO 7864 (sterile hypodermic needles), ISO 6009 (color coding), ISO 9626 (stainless steel tubing), and internal procedures for vacuum function and sleeve integrity. Biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993 (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, systemic toxicity), ASTM F756 (hemocompatibility), and European Pharmacopoeia 10.0 (pyrogenicity). Shelf-life validated to 5 years via ASTM F1980.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: 304 stainless steel cannula, polypropylene hub/caps, rubber sleeve, silicone lubricant. Dimensions: 18G-23G gauges; 1"-1.5" lengths. Principle: Manual venipuncture with vacuum-assisted blood draw. Sterilization: Ethylene oxide (SAL 10^-6). No software or energy source.
Indications for Use
Indicated for venous blood collection in patients requiring blood specimen collection via vacuum tubes. Intended for single use.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

Dear Nathan Wright:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's
{1}------------------------------------------------
requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).

#### DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE SUBJECT TO PREMARKET NOTIFICATION:
The CHIRAVAC™ Blood Collection Needles consists of a double-ended hollow stainless steel thin-walled cannula, a threaded polypropylene hub, a sleeve that interrupts blood flow between filling multiple tubes, and polypropylene caps. The device is single use and supplied sterile (ethylene oxide sterilized). The stainless steel cannula and silicone cannula lubricants are classified as externally communicating with limited (≤24 hours) duration contact; all other device components have no contact with patient blood, tissue, or skin. Once the vein has been accessed by puncturing with the intravenous end of the cannula, the healthcare professional will begin the blood collection process by placing evacuated blood collection tubes on the cannula's non-patient end, where the sleeve acts as a non-return valve and allows for more than one tube to be used to collect blood from the vein puncture.

## Discussion of differences in Indications for Use Statements
The subject and predicate device have indication for use in collection of blood from the veins. In addition to their blood collection needles, the predicate offers safety blood collecting needles and a blood collecting set with holder with particular indications for those devices that do not apply to the subject.
## TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS COMPARISON
The subject and predicate devices have nearly identical technological characteristics and the minor differences do not raise any new issues of safety and effectiveness. Specifically, the following characteristics are similar between the subject and predicates:
- Indications for Use .
- Sizes .
- Materials of manufacture
- Principles of Operations .

Discussion of differences in Technological characteristics.
- The predicate device includes safety shields with dialyzing paper. The subject does ● not require a safety shield because it comes with a protective cap which is removed prior to use and therefore does not have dialyzing paper like the predicates.
- All subject sizes (cannula lengths and gauge options) are sizes available by the ● predicates; however, not all sizes offered by the predicates are available in the subject needles.
