Sterile, single use needles intended for use with pen injector devices for the subcutaneous injection of drugs
Device Story
Insupen Pen Needles are sterile, single-use, double-ended cannulae assembled into injection-molded hubs. Used with pen injector devices for subcutaneous drug delivery (insulin, peptic hormones, glucagon-like-1, osteoporosis treatments). Operated manually by patients, caregivers, or healthcare professionals in home or clinical settings. The hub threads onto the injector; the cartridge-end cannula pierces the cartridge septum; the patient-end cannula delivers the drug. Lubricated with silicone for ease of injection. Protected by an inner needle shield and sealed medical paper. Benefits include safe, reliable subcutaneous drug administration. MR unsafe.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by non-clinical bench testing, including ISO 11608-2 (flow rate, bond strength, needle point sharpness, functional compatibility), ISO 9626 (tubing dimensions/stiffness), and ISO 10993-1 (biocompatibility).
Technological Characteristics
Double-ended stainless steel cannula (AISI 304L/305) bonded to polypropylene hub with UV-cured adhesive. Silicone lubricant. Dimensions: 3.5mm-12mm length; 29G-34G gauge. Sterilized via ETO (SAL 10^-6). Manual operation. Compliant with ISO 11608-2, ISO 9626, ISO 10993-1.

# Description of Device: [807.92(a)(4)]
The Insupen Pen Needle/ Insupen ORIGINAL Pen needle/ Insupen ADVANCED Pen Needle are sterile, single use, single patient pen needles intended for use with pen injector devices for the subcutaneous injection of drugs. Pen needles are used by consumers, caregivers and healthcare professionals. The intended patients for this device is the population from newborn to elderly. The device can be used both in domestic and professional environment. It is considered MR unsafe. The list of drugs tested and intended to be used with Pikdare's pen needle are Insulin, peptic hormone, peptic glucagon-like-1, and drug for the treatment of osteoporosis. All compatibility is checked following the requirements of ISO 11608-2:2012.
The pen needle assembly consists of a double-ended cannula that is assembled into an injection molded hub by gluing. The hub has internal threads which allow it to be screwed onto the pen injector device. This allows the cartridge end of the cannula to penetrate through the rubber septum of the cartridge. The patient end and the cartridge end of the cannula are lubricated using a silicone based lubricant for ease of injection and pen cartridge septum penetration. There is an inner needle shield assembled over the patient end of the cannula to protect the needle tip from damage and accidental needle sticks. Each pen needle is protected with a sealed medical paper which together with the primary container provide a sterility barrier. The pen needle is packaged in boxes and sterilized with ETO. It is intended for single patient and single use only. To use a pen needle, the user needs to remove the medical paper, screw the needle onto the pen injector device. Then the user removes both the outer cap and the inner protective cap to expose the needle and make an injection. After the injection, the needle is unscrewed from the pen injector device and disposed in an appropriate container respecting applicable regulations and laws.

(1) Wall definition are declared based on the current revision of the standard.
In conclusion, analyzing the main differences between the subject device and the Predicate device, below these are the main consideration:
1. Pikdare Pen Needles are manufactured using both AISI304L and AISI 305 while the Predicate devices use AISI 304L only. AISI 305 is mentioned in the ISO 9626:2016 where it is stated that "tubing shall be made in the stainless steels listed in the ISO 15510" and our material is included in the standard, therefore there is no new impact on safety and performances.
2. Needle features and wall are confirmed to be compliant with ISO 9626 considering all the possible dimensions defining the wall. So there is no risk about the safety of the subject device With reference to needle's size G34, which is not covered by ISO 9626 requirements for stiffness, Pikdare SpA chooses to characterize the tube of this needle according to thestiffness test limits of G33 TW (as defined in ISO 9626:2016).
3. The Pikdare pen needle will be under OTC as well as the Predicate device K192082,
{8}------------------------------------------------
4. The Pikdare pen needle intended use is for injection of drugs in general as well as the Predicate device K192082. This feature does not introduce critical differences and new risks (migration and transfer tests has been carried out on needles with both intended uses).
The differences above indicated do not raise new questions of safety and/or functionality for the subject device. Considering that the Predicate device is covering G34 and 3,5mm only, while the Subject device is intended to cover the range of pen needles of G29 - G30 - G31 - G32 - G33 and G34 with lengths varying from 12mm to 3,5mm. we can declare that the products with extended gauges and lengths do not pose any new concerns in terms of safety and performance, since they have been submitted to tests according to the following recognized consensus standards:
-ISO 11608-2 Needle based injection system for medical use - Requirements and test methods - part 2: needles
-ISO 9626 Stainless steel needle tubing for the manufacture of Medical Devices – Requirements and Test Methods
-ISO 10993-1 Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a Risk management Process
and the risk assessment carried out on them hasn't identified further risks not reduced to unacceptable level.
So, Pikdare pen needle product line has been demonstrated not having any impact on functional compatibility related to the combination of the pen needle with the pen injector devices including dose accuracy and limited differences in flow rates directly related to the differences of needle's internal diameter.
Based upon the above comparisons to the Predicate device. Pikdare Pen Needles are substantially equivalent to the Predicate device.
