## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance testing conducted on the capped X-TRACTOR Tip included puncture resistance (Health Devices 22/ASTM F04.33.01), leak resistance (Health Devices 22), vibration (49 CFR 178.608), free fall drop (49 CFR 178.603), and stacking (49 CFR 178.606). All tests passed.

## Technological Characteristics

Reusable handle with integrated LED light source (9V battery); single-use detachable tip with sliding collet and safety cap. Mechanical containment principle. Tested per Health Devices 22, ASTM F04.33.01, and 49 CFR 178 standards for puncture, leak, vibration, drop, and stacking resistance.

## 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.

Indications for Use: The D.A.R.T. Pro Handle and X-TRACTOR Tip are solely intended for use in the acquisition, removal and storage of darts projected from stun guns and lodged in human tissue and/or clothing. The device is not intended for use as a medical sharps container.

Predicate Devices: The D.A.R.T. Pro Kit, including the D.A.R.T. Pro Handle and the X-TRACTOR Tip, is substantially equivalent to the following legally marketed predicate devices in consideration of the limited and specific use of the device for stun gun dart removal:

Device Description: The reusable D.A.R.T. Pro Handle and detachable, single-use only X-TRACTOR Tip (including a safety cap) comprise the two components of the device. Each of these components is described generally below.

- D.A.R.T. Pro Handle: A reusable handle component that is uniquely designed . for the secure attachment (and removal post-use) of the X-TRACTOR Tip. The D.A.R.T. Pro Handle allows the user to hold, control and position the assembled product as required for stun gun dart acquisition and removal within the X-TRACTOR Tip. The D.A.R.T. Pro Handle includes a switch at the top of the handle to activate an internal LED light source to illuminate the X-TRACTOR Tip to ease device use in darkened environments. The LED light requires only a standard 9-volt battery, which the user can easily replace as needed.
- X-TRACTOR Tip: A single-use, detachable stun gun dart containment tip . specifically designed to securely house up to two stun gun darts. In use, the X-TRACTOR Tip is placed over the stun gun dart and advanced to lock the dart into a sliding tip collet. The D.A.R.T. Pro Handle is then pulled to remove the dart. The external button on the tip collet is then pressed to slide the tip collet and secure the removed dart within the X-TRACTOR Tip. Following removal of up to two stun gun darts, the safety cap is press-fit over the X-TRACTOR Tip to securely house the darts within the X-TRACTOR Tip. Once placed, the safety cap cannot be removed from the X-TRACTOR Tip. The capped X-TRACTOR Tip is then removed from the D.A.R.T. Pro Handle, placed within a zip-seal bag, and the zip-seal bag appropriately identified for provision to law enforcement personnel.

Device Testing: Performance testing of the D.A.R.T. Pro Kit included the following sharps container tests conducted on the capped X-TRACTOR Tip, which houses the removed stun gun darts.

| Test            | Standard                            | Description                       | Results |

| Puncture        | Health Devices 22<br>ASTM F04.33.01 | Sharps (needle) penetration force | Pass    |
| Leak Resistance | Health Devices 22                   | 24 hours filled with water        | Pass    |
| Vibration       | 49 CFR 178.608                      | 1 hour repetitive bounce          | Pass    |
| Free Fall Drop  | 49 CFR 178.603                      | 5 drops from 3.9 feet             | Pass    |
| Stacking        | 49 CFR 178.606                      | 24 hours under 16.6 lbs           | Pass    |

Dear Mr. Linker:

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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
