## Indications for Use

The ANUTRA Feedback Aspiration Syringe is intended for use by healthcare professionals for general purpose fluid aspiration/injection.

## Device Story

The ANUTRA Feedback Aspiration Syringe is a 5mL piston-style control syringe used by healthcare professionals for fluid aspiration and injection. It consists of a polypropylene barrel, plunger rod, and synthetic polyisoprene rubber plunger. The device features a finger ring on the plunger rod and tab interfaces with the barrel to provide audible and tactile feedback during operation, allowing for one-handed use. The internal barrel surface is lubricated with polydimethylsiloxane. The device is single-use, non-pyrogenic, and sterilized via gamma irradiation. It connects to other devices via a 6% male Luer Lock. The device is used in clinical settings to facilitate controlled fluid delivery or aspiration, with the tactile/audible feedback mechanism assisting the clinician in monitoring the plunger position during the procedure.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data. Testing included ISO 7886-1 (cleanliness, lubricant, capacity, leakage, forces), ISO 594-2 (Luer fitting performance), sterile barrier packaging integrity (ASTM F2096, F88, F1886), and biocompatibility (cytotoxicity, irritation, sensitization, systemic toxicity, hemocompatibility).

## Technological Characteristics

Piston syringe; 5mL nominal volume; polypropylene copolymer barrel/plunger rod; polyisoprene rubber plunger; polydimethylsiloxane lubricant. Features 6% male Luer Lock. Sterilized by gamma irradiation. Meets ISO 7886-1 and ISO 594-2 standards. Mechanical feedback mechanism via plunger rod tabs.

## 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.

{5}------------------------------------------------

The predicate device is a piston syringe. The ANUTRA Feedback Aspiration Syringe is a type of piston syringe (specifically, a control syringe). The intended use for the ANUTRA Feedback Aspiration Syringe is the same as its predicate device, the BD Single Use, Hypodermic Syringe (K110771).

## Barrel

The volume of fluid contained within the both the ANUTRA Feedback Aspiration Syringe and the predicate device is indicated by graduation marks printed on the outside of the barrel. The ANUTRA Feedback Aspiration Syringe has a plastic barrel with a 5mL nominal fluid volume. A 5mL variant of the predicate device contains the same nominal volume.

# Luer Configuration

Both the subject device and the predicate device are offered in a male Luer Lock configuration. The predicate device is also available in a Slip Luer configuration (1mL only).

## Nominal Fluid Volume

The nominal fluid volume for both the subject device and the predicate device is 5mL. The predicate device is also available in other fluid volumes.

## Lubrication

The internal surface of the ANUTRA Feedback Aspiration Syringe is coated with a polydimethylsiloxane (silicone). The predicate device 510(k) summary does not specify whether or not the predicate device is lubricated, however based on an inspection of the predicate device, it is believed to be lubricated.

# Plunger Rod & Plunger

Both the subject device and the predicate device have a plastic plunger rod and a synthetic rubber plunger; the plunger is attached to the plunger rod with snap-fit retention features. The ANUTRA Feedback Aspiration Syringe plunger rod contains features which provide audible and tactile feedback when the plunger is advanced or retracted, and a finger ring for ease of use and handling the device. The predicate device has a flat push-button on the end of its plunger rod. The mechanism for delivery of fluid is the same for both the subject device and predicate devices.

### Sterilization Method

The ANUTRA Feedback Aspiration Syringe is sterilized using gamma irradiation. The predicate device can be sterilized by either gamma irradiation or ethylene oxide.

{6}------------------------------------------------

## Materials

The ANUTRA Feedback Aspiration Syringe is constructed of the following polymeric components:

- . Barrel: Polypropylene copolymer
- Plunger Rod: Polypropylene copolymer ●
- Plunger: Synthetic (polyisoprene) rubber ●
- Lubrication: Polydimethylsiloxane (silicone) ●

The subject device has been tested and meets the biological requirements outlined in ISO 10993-1. A summary of these test results is provided in Section 15 -Biocompatibility.

#### 5.8. Conclusion

Test results demonstrated that the ANUTRA Feedback Aspiration Syringe is as safe, as effective and performs as well as or better than the legally marketed predicate device (BD Single Use, Hypodermic Syringe).

Based on comparisons of the device's intended use, technology and performance characteristics, the ANUTRA Feedback Aspiration Syringe is substantially equivalent to the indicated predicate device. Any differences between the ANUTRA Feedback Aspiration Syringe and the predicate device have no significant influence on safety or effectiveness.
