Indications for Use
Closed System drug Transfer Device (CSTD) for preparation, compounding and administration of drugs, including antineoplastic and hazardous drugs. This closed system mechanically prohibits the transfer of environmental contaminants into the system and the escape of drug or vapor concentrations outside the system, thereby minimizing individual and environmental exposure to drug vapor, aerosols, and also prevents microbial ingress up to 7 days.
Device Story
Equashield is a sterile, single-use Closed System Transfer Device (CSTD) used in hospitals and clinics by pharmacists and healthcare professionals. It facilitates the preparation, reconstitution, compounding, and administration of hazardous drugs. The system comprises a piston syringe unit, vial adaptors, spike adaptors, and luer lock connectors. It utilizes a variable sterile air chamber integrated into the syringe for self-contained pressure equalization. Connections are made via a double-membrane method, which is pierced upon engagement to create a leak-proof, drug-residual-free seal. This mechanism prevents the escape of drug vapors/aerosols and blocks environmental contaminants/microbial ingress for up to 7 days. By maintaining a closed system, it minimizes occupational exposure to hazardous substances for healthcare workers and protects the drug from contamination, potentially improving patient safety during drug delivery.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data. Testing included biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1, 4, 5, 10, 11), sterility (ISO 11135, 11137-1), package integrity (ASTM F1140, F129, F88), bench performance (ISO 594-1/2, 7886-1, 8536-4, 22413), sharps protection (ISO 23908), drug/DMA compatibility, extractables/leachables screening, hazardous vapor containment (GC-FID), microbial ingress protection (validated for 7 days), and particulate testing (USP 788).
Technological Characteristics
Multi-component system including piston syringe, vial/spike/luer adaptors. Materials: Polypropylene. Principle: Double-membrane septum with integrated closed pressure equalization via sterile air chamber. Connectivity: Mechanical luer/spike connections. Sterilization: EO and Gamma radiation (SAL 10^-6). Standards: ISO 10993, ISO 11135, ISO 11137, ISO 594, ISO 7886, ISO 8536, ISO 22413, ISO 23908, USP 788.
Indications for Use
Indicated for preparation, reconstitution, compounding, and administration of drugs, including antineoplastic and hazardous drugs, in patients requiring such therapies. No specific age or gender restrictions.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An intravascular administration set is a device used to administer fluids from a container to a patient's vascular system through a needle or catheter inserted into a vein. The device may include the needle or catheter, tubing, a flow regulator, a drip chamber, an infusion line filter, an I.V. set stopcock, fluid delivery tubing, connectors between parts of the set, a side tube with a cap to serve as an injection site, and a hollow spike to penetrate and connect the tubing to an I.V. bag or other infusion fluid container.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control for pharmacy compounding systems within this classification is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Pharmacy Compounding Systems; Final Guidance for Industry and FDA Reviewers.” Pharmacy compounding systems classified within the intravascular administration set are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of this part and subject to the limitations in § 880.9.

## Device Description
Equashield is a sterile, single use, Closed System drug Transfer Device (CSTD) for preparation, reconstitution, compounding and administration of antineoplastic and hazardous drugs. The Equashield closed system consists of a piston syringe (Syringe Unit), an adaptor to the medication vial (Vial Adaptor), an adaptor for the IV bag for injection (Spike Adaptor), an adaptor for the IV bag for withdrawal (Spike Adaptor-W), adaptors for injection into IV lines, syringes, or catheters (Luer Lock Adaptors). Nursing Pair connectors for standard IV tubing set ports (Female Luer Lock Connector and Male Luer Lock Connector), a Protective Plug, an adaptor for injection into an IV line with a Y-Site Tubing Set, or Secondary Tubing Accessory, and a Reconstitution Tubing Set for reconstituting powder drugs. The variable sterile air chamber integrated into the encapsulated syringe provides self-contained pressure equalization. The connector unit is welded to the syringe and uses the double-membrane method as high efficiency microbial barrier and for leak-proof and drug residual-free connections to the adaptors of the system. The double membrane seals off the transfer of environmental contaminants into the system and/or escape of drug or vapor concentrations outside the system, thereby minimizing individual and environmental exposure to drug vapor, aerosols, spills and also prevents microbial ingress up to 7 days.
The purpose of this submission is to add new components to the system including a thin size for components, introduce different material to the components and make labeling changes.
