The syringe will also be used to withdraw medication from vials. This device is intended for insulin, allergy, or general use injections. Additionally, after withdrawing the needle from the patient, the safety feature can be manually activated to cover the needle to minimize the risk of accidental needlestick. ## Device Story Manual hypodermic syringe with permanently affixed needle and integrated, swiveling safety sheath. Used by clinicians or patients for fluid aspiration from vials and injection into subcutaneous, intradermal, or intramuscular tissue. After injection, user manually activates safety sheath via one-handed pressing against firm surface to lock needle, minimizing accidental needlestick risk. Device provides visual confirmation of needle locking. Benefits include sharps injury prevention during disposal. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Performance evaluated via activation force, deactivation force, sheath penetration/removal force, collar removal force, sheath swivel force, hinge integrity, residual volume, and simulated use study. Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO-10993. No clinical data required. ## Technological Characteristics Piston syringe with integrated swiveling safety sheath. Materials identical to predicate Terumo syringes; safety feature material matches Portex Needle-Pro. Sterilization via radiation per ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11137-1994 (SAL 10^-6). Manual operation; no energy source. Various needle gauges (25G-29G) and volumes (0.3cc-1cc). ## 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. ## Predicate Devices - Terumo Insulin Syringe ([K822083](/device/K822083.md)) - Terumo Allergy Syringe ([K980796](/device/K980796.md)) - Portex Needle-Pro® Syringe ([K011925](/device/K011925.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Device Name FEB 2 1 2003 ## Proprietary Name TERUMO® SURGUARD™ Safety Syringe or similar proprietary name ### Classification Name Piston Syringe with Single Lumen Needle (880.5860) with antistick Classification: Class II 80FMF & 80MEG ## Common Name Hypodermic syringe with safety sheath or Syringe with needle protection device #### B. Intended Use The Surguard™ Safety Syringe is a device intended for the manual aspiration of fluids, and for the injection of fluids into parts of the body below the surface of the skin. The syringe will also be used to withdraw medication from vials. This device is intended for insulin, allergy, or general use injections. Additionally, after withdrawing the needle from the patient, the safety feature can be manually activated to cover the needle to minimize the risk of accidental needlestick. {1}------------------------------------------------ ## C. Device Description The Surguard Safety Syringe consists of a graduated hypodermic syringe barrel with a permanently affixed needle (also called cannula) and an integrated safety feature component, which is permanently attached at the top of the syringe barrel close to the needle. The safety feature component can swivel to allow users additional flexibility in positioning the syringe and bevel for use. The locking mechanisms are located within the body of the sheath and at the collar that attaches to the top of the syringe barrel. The syringe portion is the same as Terumo's Insulin and Terumo's Allergy/General Syringe that are the subject of K882083 and K980796 respectively. No changes were made to the syringes other than a minor modification to outside of the barrel to allow for secure attachment of the safety feature. The syringe is a device intended to inject fluids into, or withdraw fluids from, parts of the body below the surface of the skin. The syringe will also be used to withdraw medication from vials. The syringe barrel will be graduated in insulin units for use with insulin or in cc/ml units for allergy or general use. The allergy/ general use syringe is offered with an intradermal bevel for intradermal injections and a regular bevel typically used for subcutaneous injections. The general use syringe has a regular bevel, which can be used for common injections such as intradermal, intramuscular, or subcutaneous. The insulin syringe will contain orange-colored needle cap and the allergy/general use syringe will contain a noncolored (white) cap. The safety sheath is activated after syringe use and prior to disposal to minimize the possibility of sharps injury. The safety sheath is activated with a one-handed operation by pressing the sheath against a firm surface, thereby engaging the needle into the sheath. The user will visually confirm the needle is locked beneath the locking tab. #### D. Substantial Equivalence The Surguard Safety Syringe submitted in this 510k is substantially equivalent in intended use, design, technology/principles of operation, materials and performance to the cleared Terumo Insulin Syringe (K822083), the Terumo Allergy Syringe (K980796), and the Portex Needle-Pro® Syringe (K011925). {2}------------------------------------------------ #### E. Principle of Operation and Technology The Terumo Surguard Safety Syringe, the Terumo Insulin and Allergy/General Syringes, and the Portex Needle Pro Syringe are all operated manually. #### Materials F. The materials used for the syringe portion of the Surguard Safety Syringe are identical to the materials used for the Terumo Insulin and Allergy syringes. The material selected for the safety feature is the same type of material used for the Portex Needle Pro. Differences in materials between the Surguard Safety Syringe and the Portex Needle Pro (K011925) raise no new issues of safety and effectiveness. #### G.

Performance The following tests were performed on the Surguard Safety Syringe: - Activation Force . - Deactivation Force ● - Sheath Penetration Force . - Sheath Removal Force ● - Collar Removal Force ● - Sheath Swivel Force . - Hinge Integrity ● - Residual Volume . - Simulated Use Study . None of the data raises any new issues of safety and effectiveness. Additionally, a risk analysis was conducted and there were no new issues of safety and effectiveness. The performance of the Surguard Safety Syringe submitted in this 510k is substantially equivalent in intended use, design, technology/principles of operation, materials and performance to the cleared Terumo Insulin Syringe (K822083), the Terumo Allergy Syringe (K980796), and the Portex Needle-Pro® Syringe (K011925). #### I. Additional Safety Information Manufacturing controls include visual, functional, and sterility tests. The sterility of the device is assured using a sterilization method validated in accordance with ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11137-1994 Medical Devices - Validation and Routine Control of Radiation Sterilization. The Surguard Safety Syringe is sterilized to provide a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 106. The Terumo Surguard Safety Syringe is classified as Externally Communicating Device, Blood Path Indirect, Limited Duration of Contact (< 24 hr). The device's blood contacting materials were tested in accordance with the tests recommended in the FDA General Program Memorandum #G95-1 (5/1/95): Use of International Standard ISO-10993, "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part-1: Evaluation and Testing". Results of the testing demonstrate that the blood contacting materials are biocompatible. {4}------------------------------------------------ #### J. Conclusion The Surguard Safety Syringe is substantially equivalent in intended use, design, technology/principles of operation, materials and performance to the cleared Terumo Insulin Syringe (K822083), the Terumo Allergy Syringe (K980796), and the Portex Needle-Pro® Syringe (K011925). Differences between the devices do not raise any significant issues of safety or effectiveness. Terumo's statement of substantial equivalence is done solely to comply with the requirements of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and is not intended whatsoever to be the basis for a patent infringement action.
