## Indications for Use

The Biojector® 2000 is indicated for delivery of subcutaneous (SC), intramuscular (IM) or intradermal (ID) injections of vaccines and other pharmaceutical injectables. The Biojector® 2000 may be used by healthcare providers who routinely administer injections. The Biojector® 2000 may also be used by patients authorized by their healthcare practitioner to self inject, or have other individuals administer injections of prescribed medication.

## Device Story

Biojector 2000 is a needle-free jet injection system using high-pressure CO2 gas to deliver liquid medication through the skin. System components include the injector, sterile single-use disposable syringes (various orifice sizes), and an intradermal (ID) spacer. For ID injections, the ID spacer is attached to a No. 2 syringe to control penetration depth by maintaining optimal distance from the skin. Operated by healthcare providers or authorized patients/caregivers in clinical or home settings. Operator fills syringe via vial adapter, loads into injector, and triggers injection at 90-degree angle. Output is a high-pressure fluid stream penetrating the dermis. Benefits include needle-free administration, reducing needle-stick risks and patient anxiety. Performance verified against ISO 21649:2006.

## Clinical Evidence

No human clinical trials. Bench testing verified compliance with ISO 21649:2006. Biocompatibility testing (ISO 10993) performed on ID spacer and disposables. Porcine model study compared ID injections using B2000 with ID spacer versus needle and syringe, demonstrating equivalence in wheal size, depth of penetration, and dye dermal contact area.

## Technological Characteristics

CO2-powered jet injector. Disposables: high-density polyethylene ID spacer, sterile syringes (0.1-1.0 ml). Orifice diameters: 0.004" to 0.014". Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide (EtO). Compliance: ISO 21649:2006. Biocompatibility: ISO 10993-4, -5, -7, -10, -11. Dose accuracy: ±5%.

## Regulatory Identification

A nonelectrically powered fluid injector is a nonelectrically powered device used by a health care provider to give a hypodermic injection by means of a narrow, high velocity jet of fluid which can penetrate the surface of the skin and deliver the fluid to the body. It may be used for mass inoculations.

Device Name:

Proprietary Name: Biojector® 2000 Needle-Free Injection Management System (B2000)

Common Name: Needle-Free Jet Injector

Classification Name: Injector, Fluid, Non-Electrically Powered 21 CFR 880.5430, Product Code KZE

Predicate Device(s):

Biojector® 2000 Needle-Free Injection Management System (K960373) Becton Dickinson Single Use Hypodermic and Insulin Syringe (K980580) Terumo America, Inc Disposable Hypodermic Needle (K771203)

PharmaJet 0.1 ml Needle-free Injector System (K110456)

Purpose of Submission: To add a new Indication for Use with the Biojector® 2000 to administer intradermal injections using the ID Spacer.

## Device Description:

The Bioject® 2000 Needle-Free Injection Management System is designed to deliver vaccines and other pharmaceutical injectables by producing a high pressure injectate stream that penetrates the dermis. The system is composed of three major components: (1) the injector -Biojector® 2000; (2) sterile single use disposables - syringes in multiple orifice sizes, safety cap, filling adapter and intradermal spacer (packaged for use with a No. 2 syringe only); and (3) power source - carbon dioxide (CO2) cartridge or tank.

The depth of injectate penetration is dependant upon the svringe orifice diameter. In general. the larger the diameter of the syringe orifice, the deeper into the tissue the fluid will be

deposited. Disposable syringes with a variable volume from 0.1 ml to 1 ml are numbered 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7, and have increasing syringe orifice diameters, 0.04", 0.08", 0.10" and 0.14" respectively. Intradermal injections (ID) are only performed using a No. 2 syringe (the smallest diameter) and an ID Spacer. As the distance from the syringe orifice to the skin is increased, the energy density of the fluid stream is decreased. The ID Spacer utilizes this principle to provide the optimum distance from the syringe to the skin to provide enough energy for the injectate to penetrate the epidermis, but not enough energy to transverse the underlying dermal tissue Subcutaneous (SC) injections are performed using a No. 2 syringe that is in direct contact with the skin, no spacer is utilized. Intramuscular (IM) injections are performed using syringes in contact with the skin and with larger orifice diameters.

The disposable syringe assemblies are provided sterile in a Tyvek blister peel pouch. The ID Spacer is manufactured from a high density polyethylene that meets the same environmental, biocompatibility and sterility requirements as the disposable syringes. The ID Spacer is packaged as a component with Biojector® No. 2 syringe assemblies.

#### Intended Use:

The Biojector® 2000 is indicated for delivery of subcutaneous (SC), intramuscular (IM) or intradermal (ID) injections of vaccines and other pharmaceutical injectables. The Biojector® 2000 may be used by healthcare providers who routinely administer injections. The Biojector® 2000 may also be used by patients authorized by their healthcare practitioner to self inject, or have other individuals administer injections of prescribed medication.

The addition of the intradermal indication is facilitated by using the new Intradermal Spacer with a No. 2 Syringe. Intradermal injections of vaccines and other pharmaceuticals are performed on the same patient populations that are now being treated with the Biojector® 2000 for the previously cleared indications.

#### Device Use:

A device operator (healthcare worker, or a patient/family member authorized by their practitioner), aseptically opens the sterile packaging and fills the syringe with a desired amount of liquid medication using the provided disposable vial adapter. The filled syringe is then loaded into the Biojector® 2000 with a clockwise twisting motion until completely seated and a green color is visible in the syringe interlock window. The actuation (trigger) interlock is disengaged and the device is ready for use. The operator presses the syringe (or ID Spacer for intradermal injections) onto the skin at a 90° angle in a location appropriate for the route of administration and the actuator is pulled back initiating the injection. Following the injection, the syringe (and ID Spacer if used) is discarded in a normal medical waste container. The device is ready for reloading and can perform approximately 10 injections per each new CO2 cartridge. The Biojector® 2000 can also be attached to a large capacity CO2 tank with an adapter to perform increased numbers of injections between gas source changes.

## Non-Clinical Testing Summary

#### Performance:

The Biojector® 2000 Needle-Free Injection Management System including the Intradermal (ID) Spacer has been verified to meet the performance requirements of ISO 21649:2006, Needlefree injectors for medical use - Requirements and test methods.

# Conclusion:

The Biojector® 2000 with the Intradermal Spacer has the same indications for use as the predicate devices and is substantially equivalent to the performance of the PharmaJet 0.1 ml Needle-free Injector System and the use of a needle and syringe for intradermal injections. The Biojector ® 2000 when used with the Intradermal Spacer does not raise any new issues of safety and effectiveness.
