## Indications for Use

The VACUETTE® SAFETY Infusion Set is a single-use, sterile, winged blood collection needle bonded to a flexible tubing with a luer connector. The VACUETTE® SAFETY Infusion Set is used for blood collection and/or the short-term infusion of intravenous fluids. The winged needle is designed with a safety shield, which can be activated to cover the needle immediately following venipuncture to aid in the protection against accidental needlestick injury.

## Device Story

The VACUETTE® SAFETY Infusion Set is a sterile, single-use winged needle device connected to flexible tubing with a female luer adapter. It is used by healthcare professionals for blood collection or short-term IV fluid administration. The device features an integrated safety shield; after venipuncture, the user activates a latch mechanism to slide the shield over the needle, where it locks in place to prevent accidental needlestick injuries. The device is non-reusable, as the safety mechanism cannot be deactivated without destroying the needle. This modification adds new needle gauges and tubing lengths to the existing product line.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Winged needle bonded to flexible tubing with female luer adapter; includes integrated sliding safety shield mechanism. Materials are consistent with predicate device. Single-use, sterile.

## 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.

#### Device Modification of Greiner VACUETTE®SAFETY Infusion Set (K080235)

The safety feature is easily operated through the release of a latch mechanism whereby the user slides a winged cover over the needle, as it is removed from the patient. Once the needle is covered, the safety cover locks in place.

The devices are packaged as sterile and are labeled for single use only. There is no ability to clean and reuse these devices because the safety feature cannot be deactivated without bending the needle and rendering it unusable.

### SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE:

1 .

The Greiner VACUETTE® SAFETY Infusion Set is substantially equivalent to the predicate device in fundamental scientific technology, intended use, and materials.

This Special 510(k) is submitted for a device modification to the Greiner VACUETTE® SAFETY Infusion Set (K080235; FDA cleared 4/24/2008) to include additional needle gauges and tubing length.

Dear Ms. Smith:

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. 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.
