## Indications for Use

The VidaPort provides intraosseous access in the proximal tibia, as an alternative to IV access during emergencies. The device is for use in adult patients only. The device is prescription use only per 21 CFR 801.109.

## Device Story

VidaPort is a battery-powered, cordless drill-style device used for intraosseous (IO) access. It consists of a reusable driver and a disposable IO needle assembly. The operator activates the drill to penetrate the bone cortex to a preset depth in the marrow. The driver separates from the needle hub, leaving the cannula seated in the bone. The trocar stylet is removed, and the needle assembly's Luer lock allows attachment of standard syringes and IV lines for drug or fluid administration. Used in emergency settings by healthcare providers to establish vascular access when IV access is difficult or unavailable, providing a rapid route for resuscitation.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Evidence consists of bench testing, including electrical safety, electrical emissions, and mechanical testing, as well as animal testing to validate performance and safety.

## Technological Characteristics

Battery-powered, cordless drill-style driver with disposable intraosseous needle assembly. Features a trocar stylet and Luer lock interface for standard IV/syringe connection. Class II device (Product Code FMI).

## Regulatory Identification

A hypodermic single lumen needle is a device intended to inject fluids into, or withdraw fluids from, parts of the body below the surface of the skin. The device consists of a metal tube that is sharpened at one end and at the other end joined to a female connector (hub) designed to mate with a male connector (nozzle) of a piston syringe or an intravascular administration set.

## Predicate Devices

- Bone Injection Gun ([K981853](/device/K981853.md))

Name of the device: VidaPort Intraosseous Infusion System Trade or proprietary name: VidaPort Intraosseous Infusion System Common or usual name: Bone injection system Classification name: Hypodermic single lumen needle

The legally marketed device to which we are claiming equivalence [807.92(a)(3)]:

K981853, Bone Injection Gun, manufactured by WaisMed Ltd.

Description of the device:

The VidaPort (which looks similar to a cordless drill) consists of a reusable battery powered driver connected to a disposable intraosseous (IO) needle assembly. Upon activation, the drill penetrates through the cortex of the bone to a preset depth within the bone marrow. The driver then separates from the hub of the IO needle assembly, leaving the cannula securely seated in the bone. The trocar stylet containing the drill bit is then removed. A standard Luer lock (part of the needle assembly) then permits attachment of standard syringes and IV lines for administration of drugs and fluids.

Indications:

The VidaPort provides intraosseous access in the proximal tibia, as an alternative to IV access during emergencies. The device is for use in adult patients only. The device is prescription use only per 21 CFR 801.109.
