Braun Medical Inc. 510(k) Premarket Notification CytoGuardTM Closed Luer Connector #### 5. 510(k) SUMMARY DATE: September 7, 2011 SUBMITTER: B. Braun Medical Inc. 901 Marcon Boulevard Allentown, PA 18109-9341 610-266-0500 Contact: Angela J. Caravella, Regulatory Affairs Specialist Phone: (610) 596-2966 Fax: (610) 266-4962 E-mail: angela.caravella@bbraun.com DEVICE NAME: CytoGuard™ Closed Luer Connector COMMON OR USUAL NAME: Closed Luer Connector, Needle free # DEVICE Class II, per 21 CFR §880.5440, Product Code: FPA CLASSIFICATION: PREDICATE DEVICES: Spiros™, ICU Medical Inc., K070532, Class II, FPA, 880.5440. Spinning Spiros™, ICU Medical Inc., K082806, Class II, FPA, 880.5440, CML TM, ICU Medical Inc., K051437, Class II FPA, 880.5440 DESCRIPTION: CytoGuard is a needle-free, bi-directional flow, luer connector that is swabable, MRI Safe and does not contain PVC, DEHP, or natural rubber latex. The CytoGuard™ Closed Luer Connector is designed to be used by healthcare professionals during medication preparation, admixture, fluid transfer, administration or disposal. Using CytoGuard's female luer end CytoGuard is attached to a dosing device's male luer connector, creating a luer locking connection. With the CytoGuard attached, the dosing device is provided with a closed fluid path due to the presence of the CytoGuard's internal valve. The closed valve helps to reduce inadvertent fluid exposure to patients, clinicians and healthcare personnel. When the CytoGuard's male luer nut is connected to a standard female luer, the fluid path is opened and allows for the movement of fluid. When the female luer is disconnected from the proposed device, the valve and fluid path closes, preventing the flow of fluid through the CytoGuard. 24 {1}------------------------------------------------ SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE: K112636 ge 2 of 3 The female luer end of the CytoGuard possesses a spinning locking feature which will not allow the device to be easily removed, further aiding the reduction of fluid exposure. This feature helps to reduce the risk that the female luer end may inadvertently become disconnected or be removed from the male luer of the dosing device. To further assist in the appropriate use of the device, the male luer nut has been colored a translucent orange to alert users which end of the device that connections and disconnections can be made. The Instructions for Use references an "orange end" to aid in the easy identification of this part of the device. The CytoGuard will be available for sale as an individually packaged item and a non luer-activating dust cover cap to prevent touch contamination is provided as a separately sold accessory for the CytoGuard for use during transport. INTENDED USE: The CytoGuard™ Closed Luer Connector is a bi-directional flow, needle-free, swabable luer access device used as an accessory to an administration device. It is intended for the administration of parenteral fluids, medication (including hazardous drugs), blood and blood products. With the CytoGuard attached to the standard male luer of a dosing device or container, the CytoGuard valve is in a closed position. Upon connection of its male luer fitting to the female luer fitting of a patient's administration set or catheter, the valve opens to allow medication delivery to the patient. The fluid path then closes, upon disconnect. > Three predicate devices are utilized for substantial equivalence. ICU Medical Inc.'s Spiros™ (K070532), Spinning Spiros™ (K082806) and CML™ (K051437). > The Cytoguard Closed Luer Connector has similar intended uses to ICU Medical's Spiros, Spinning Spiros, and CML in that they each act as a closed male luer that provides access for the administration of fluids from a container (or dosing device) to the patient. Each of these devices has a normally closed design that is intended to prevent the leakage of fluid or ingress of air when in an inactivated state. When activated, they all provide a 2-way fluid flow. The CytoGuard and Spiros devices contain polycarbonate female luers. {2}------------------------------------------------ Similar to the Spinning Spiros, the CytoGuard has a locking feature on the female luer end to prevent the device's disconnection during use. 1-112636 Each of these devices has an open and closed state; however, the mechanism used to achieve it differs between the proposed and predicate devices. Therefore, performance testing has been conducted. In addition, testing was performed to support an expanded variety of usage conditions of the CytoGuard. Several different fluids were evaluated for compatibility, including blood, general IV fluids, and chemicals identified on the "NIOSH Alert" drugs list, publication number 2004-165 dated September 2004 which is provided within this submission. CONCLUSION: Testing was conducted to demonstrate the performance of the CytoGuard Closed Luer Connector and substantial equivalence with the predicate devices: ICU Medical's Spinning Spiros™, Spiros™ and CMLTM. Functional performance testing, a simulated clinical use study, and testing of the locking feature and colored design features of the proposed device, have each demonstrated that the CytoGuard Closed Luer Connector does not raise new issues of safety or effectiveness. {3}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/3/Picture/1 description: The image shows the seal of the Department of Health & Human Services - USA.
