Device utilizes a light spring-loaded plunger mechanism; allows one-handed operation for detecting entry into the epidural space, compared to traditional two-handed manual syringes. Operated by clinicians in a clinical setting. Output is tactile feedback provided to the clinician upon entry into the epidural space, facilitating accurate needle placement and potentially improving procedural efficiency. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. Evidence consists of bench testing, including biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993-1 and syringe performance testing per ISO 7086-1, alongside in-vitro and in-vivo simulation testing to verify performance specifications. ## Technological Characteristics Piston syringe; spring-loaded plunger mechanism. Materials: polypropylene, silicone, polycarbonate. Single-use. Manual operation. No software or electronic components. ## Regulatory Identification A piston syringe is a device intended for medical purposes that consists of a calibrated hollow barrel and a movable plunger. At one end of the barrel there is a male connector (nozzle) for fitting the female connector (hub) of a hypodermic single lumen needle. The device is used to inject fluids into, or withdraw fluids from, the body. ## Predicate Devices - Current Syringe ([K001731](/device/K001731.md)) - B-D EPILOR LOR Syringe ([K925902](/device/K925902.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

The device is intended for single-use only. #### Intended Use: The AutoDetect Syringe is intended for use with an epidural needle for the verification of needle tip placement in the epidural space. #### Equivalent Device: The subject device is substantially equivalent in intended use and/or method of The Subjoct to not is Current Syringe (K001731) and the B-D EPILOR LOR Syringe (K925902). Like the predicate syringes, The AutoDetect Syringe provides a means for detecting entry into the epidural space using the "loss of resistance" technique. All the devices are low friction piston syringes constructed of commonly used polymeric materials, such as polypropylene, silicone and polycarbonate. The only difference between the AutoDetect Syringe and the identified predicate devices is that the plunger in the AutoDetect Syringe is lightly spring loaded. This convenience is that the plangor in the use one hand, as opposed to the two required in the currently used procedure, to identify entry into the epidural space. {1}------------------------------------------------ #### Test Results: Test Results. Biocompatibility testing to ISO 10993-1, syringe performance testing to ISO 7086-1 and Blocompatibility testing to 100 10000 1, cy of on the AutoPetect Syringe. Results in-vitro and in-vivo simulation testing were performed on the AutoPetitions in-vitio and in-WV Simulation testing were performed on the serformance specifications and is safe and effective for its intended use. Summary: Based on the intended use, product, performance and biocompatibility Summary. "Dased on this notification, the subject device has been shown to be imormation provided in the currently marketed predicate devices. {2}------------------------------------------------ Public Health Service Image /page/2/Picture/2 description: The image shows the seal of the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) of the United States of America.
