Indications for Use
The intended use of the Microvolume Luer Access Device is to provide a sterile needle-free fluid pathway for the administration or aspiration of blood, IV therapy, or medications as prescribed by the physician. Fluids are administered to the patient through a catheter or cannula. The device can be utilized as a conduit between two devices, in addition to being used to deliver contrast media via power injection. This is a general use device that may be used for any patient population with consideration given to the adequacy of vascular anatomy and appropriateness for the solution being infused and duration of therapy.
Device Story
Microvolume Luer Access Device (LAD) is a neutral displacement needleless connector; provides sterile needle-free fluid pathway for IV gravity/pump sets, extension sets, and catheters. Input: male luer connector insertion. Operation: valve mechanism allows aspiration, injection, or fluid flow; supports power injection (up to 400 psi, 10ml/sec). Output: fluid delivery/aspiration conduit. Used in clinical settings by healthcare professionals. Benefits: enables needle-free access, reduces needle-stick risk, facilitates contrast media delivery. Device is a 3-piece assembly (body, piston, spike/nut) supplied sterile, single-use.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical studies performed. Performance testing included flow rate, seal/snap tests, durability, power injection, chemical compatibility (IPA/CHG), microbial ingress, tensile testing, and biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1).
Technological Characteristics
3-piece assembly: Copolyester body, self-lubricating silicone elastomer piston, ABS luer nut, polyethylene male luer lock cover. Neutral displacement valve. Sterile, single-use. Complies with ISO 80369-7 (Luer connectors), ISO 10993-1 (biocompatibility), and ISO 8536 series. No software/electronics.
Indications for Use
Indicated for aspiration, injection, or gravity/pump flow of IV fluids and blood upon insertion of a male luer connector. May be used with power injectors at max pressure 400 psi and max flow rate 10ml/sec. Suitable for any patient population based on vascular anatomy and therapy requirements.
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.

#### Dear Kimberly Smith:
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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part
{1}------------------------------------------------
801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4. Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).
