The single-use device is intended for "Overthe-Counter" use. The container is eventually disposed of through a mail-back system or otherwise in accordance with local regulations. The manufacturer's bracket is required if the device is used on medication carts or in emergency vehicles. ### DEVICE DESCRIPTION Ecoship Disposable Sharps Containers are single-use sharps containers designed for point-first disposal of sharps. The containers are intended for over-the-counter use for the safe disposal of sharps, i.e. articles that can penetrate human skin. This definition includes, but is not limited to needles, scalpels, syringes with needles, disposable scissors, suture needles, stylets, trocars and broken test tubes. The containers are intended to be used in supervised areas of human and veterinary healthcare facilities. These areas may include nursing stations, laboratories, dental offices, physician offices, clinics, emergency rooms, surgical rooms, treatment rooms, research facilities, veterinarian practices and other small quantity waste generators. The devices are also intended to be used in healthcare facility mail-back programs and in home healthcare by clinical staff. Two Ecoship Disposable Sharps Container models are described in this submission: - D2-ES is 2 liters with fill capacity of 1.5 liters . - o Tare: 192 grams (6.77 oz) - o Dimensions: (L) 142 mm x (W) 142 mm x (H) 151 mm - D4-ES is 4 liters with fill capacity of 3 liters . - o Tare: 304 grams (10.72 oz) - Dimensions: (L) 142 mm x (W) 142 mm x (H) 303 mm o #### EQUIVALENCE TO MARKETED DEVICE Daniels Sharpsmart, Inc. Ecoship Disposable Sharps Container is substantially equivalent in indications and design principles to the following predicate devices: - Daniels Corporation PTY, INC., Sharpsmart S2 Disposable Sharps Container (K091736) . - Sharps Compliance, Inc., Sharps Compliance Container (K083129) . - Oak Ridge Products L.L.C., Oak Ridge Products Sharps Containers (K130281) . The D2-ES (2 liter) and D4-ES (4 liter) Ecoship Disposable Sharps Containers have a similar design and dimensions, use similar materials, and are similar in color to those cleared under K091736. K083129 and K130281. The subject device has similar fill capacity and locking {2}------------------------------------------------ mechanisms to those cleared in K091736 and K130281. The access opening is similar in size and shape to K091736 and K083129. A return mail-back carton is provided similar to K083129. No FDA performance standards for Ecoship Disposable Sharps Container have been established. The following tests were performed to ensure that the performance of the subject device meets Daniels Sharpsmart, Inc. requirements. ### Pucture Resistance (per CSA Z316.6-07 Evaluation of single-use and reusable medical sharps containers for biohazardous and cytotoxic waste) Needle puncture resistance was measured by taking various sections of a container and subjecting them to penetration with a 0.8 mm diameter needle. The force required to puncture the container was measured. The puncture resistance of each section of the container was greater than 20 N and the passing criterion was met. ### Toppling Resistance (per CSA Z316.6-07 Evaluation of single-use and reusable medical sharps containers for biohazardous and cytotoxic waste) Toppling resistance was measured by filling a container to nominal capacity with representative sharps material with a bulk density of 0.2 kg/liter and tilting it to a 15° angle. The container remained standing after being tilted, and the passing criterion was met. ## Toppling Resistance (per ISO 23907 Sharps injury protection - Requirements and test methods -Sharps containers) Toppling resistance was measured by filling a container to nominal capacity with representative sharps material with a bulk density of 0.2 kg/liter and tilting it to a 15° angle using the worst case challenge configurations. The container did not slide, and remained standing after being tilted, and the passing criteria were met. ### Impact Resistance (per CSA Z316.6-07 Evaluation of single-use and reusable medical sharps containers for biohazardous and cytotoxic waste) Impact resistance was measured by filling five containers to nominal capacity with representative sharps material with a bulk density of 0.2 kg/liter and surfactant solution equal to 6% of the nominal capacity. The containers were then conditioned at 23°C and dropped in a specific orientation from a height of no less than 1 meter. The containers did not rupture, tear, crack, open, or leak, and the passing criteria were met. ### Cold Impact Resistance (per CSA Z316.6-07 Evaluation of single-use and reusable medical sharps containers for biohazardous and cytotoxic waste) Cold impact resistance was measured by filling five containers with representative sharps material with a bulk density of 0.2 kg/liter. The containers were then conditioned at -18°C and dropped in a specific orientation from a height of no less than 1.2 meters. The containers did not rupture, tear, crack, open, or leak, and the passing criteria were met. {3}------------------------------------------------ ### Handle Strength (per CSA Z316.6-07 Evaluation of single-use and reusable medical sharps containers for biohazardous and cytotoxic waste) Handle strength was measured by filling a container to nominal capacity with material with a bulk density of 1 kg/liter and suspending it from the handle for 1 hour. The container remained intact and the handle did not rupture, tear, crack, or separate from the container. Therefore, the passing criteria were met. Drop Test (per United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods – Model Regulations, Part 6, "Requirements For the construction and testing of packagings, intermediate bulk containers (IBCs), large packagings and portable tanks) This test was performed by filling six containers with no less than 1.2 kg of polycarbonate granules to a minimum of 95% capacity and prepared as they would be used in transport. The containers were then conditioned at -18°C and dropped in one of two specific orientations from a height of no less than 1.2 meters. The containers were not damaged, and the passing criterion was met. Stacking Test (per United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods -Model Regulations, Part 6, "Requirements For the construction and testing of packagings, intermediate bulk containers (IBCs), large packagings and portable tanks) This test was performed by stacking three empty containers and prepared as they would be used in transport. A mass of 81 kg was then applied to the top of the stack for 24 hours at room temperature. The containers were not damaged, and the passing criterion was met. #### Vibration Test (per 49 CFR Part 178.608 Specifications for Packagings - Vibration Standard) This test was performed by filling three containers with polycarbonate granules to a minimum of 95% capacity, prepared as they would be used in transport. The containers were then vibrated (25 mm peak to peak at a frequency that induces displacement of 1.6 mm from the vibration plate) for 60 minutes at room temperature. The containers did not rupture, leak or deteriorate, and the passing criteria were met. All testing demonstrated that the subject device is safe and effective for its intended use. The devices conform to regulations per US OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1030 Bloodborne Pathogens. Non-clinical data submitted, referenced, or relied upon to demonstrate substantial equivalence include engineering analysis and dimensional analysis. Clinical data were not submitted in this premarket notification. {4}------------------------------------------------ The subject device and the predicate devices have the same intended use, have similar technological characteristics, and are made of similar materials. The subject device and predicate devices encompass the same range of physical dimensions, including fill capacity and access opening size. The subject and predicate devices are packaged in similar materials. Any differences in the technological characteristics do not raise new issues of safety or efficacy.
