The Accuro® 3S Needle Guide Kit indications for use is similar to the primary predicate device, Accuro® 3S Needle Guide Kit (K250469) and the reference device, Pinpoint™ GT Safety Introducer Needle (K142445). Both the subject device and the primary predicate device, Accuro® 3S Needle Guide Kit, 3 {7} 510(k) Summary- K261014 are indicated to cover an ultrasound probe and isolate from microbial and other contaminants, and both have needle guides to assist with placement of a needle to a specific anatomical structure. The subject device and the predicate also both have the patient drape with bands that support the needle guide positioning. The subject, primary predicate, and reference devices are prescription use and intended for the same use environments. The key difference between the subject and primary predicate device is the inclusion of the previously 510(k) cleared needle with the SafeTrack™ magnet preassembled onto the needle. The magnet is integrated onto the needle hub and does not come in direct contact with the patient. The intended function of the SafeTrack™ magnet is to emit a magnetic field detectable by the magnetic sensors in the compatible Accuro® 3S diagnostic ultrasound imaging system probe to display the needle location. The new addition of the needle with the integrated SafeTrack™ magnet is similar to the reference device, Pinpoint™ GT Safety Introducer Needle, as both needles have a magnetic source intended to be detectable by their respective compatible ultrasound system probes, to display an indicator of the needle. The difference between the subject device and the Pinpoint™ GT Safety Introducer Needle is that the subject needle has a magnet attached onto the needle hub and the reference needle has a magnet integrated into the needle hub itself. Non-clinical testing for performance, including usability and safety has been conducted to ensure that no new risks are introduced due to the addition of the needle with the SafeTrack™ magnet. This includes verification testing and application of ISO 14971 for risk management. # Summary of Non-Clinical Tests: Design functionality of the subject device was tested to ensure that it meets the requirements of the intended end users. Testing included simulated use evaluations performed by representative end users in addition to benchtop testing. The following benchtop verification and validation testing was performed following internal test protocols: - Needle guide dimensions - Needle insertion force and damage during needle insertion - Needle angulation accuracy - Needle tip depth accuracy - Needle guide attachment / removal force - Sterile barrier integrity - Packaging integrity - Elastic bands holding force - Needle gate pinch force - Elastic bands attachment durability - Imaging quality following administration of the needle guide and probe cover Probe midline needle insertion Material dimensions - Packaging configuration 4 {8} 510(k) Summary- K261014 Assurances of quality were further established by employing the following elements of product design and development in accordance with 21 CFR 820 and ISO 14971:2019: - Risk analysis - Requirements development - Design reviews - Verification and Validation - Safety compliance verification The following guidance documents and standards were used to determine appropriate methods for evaluating the performance of the device: - AAMI / ANSI / ISO 10993-5:2009/(R)2014, Biological Evaluation Of Medical Devices - Part 5: Tests For In Vitro Cytotoxicity - AAMI / ANSI ST72:2019, Bacterial Endotoxins - Test Methods, Routine Monitoring, And Alternatives To Batch Testing - ASTM D4332-14, Standard Practice For Conditioning Containers, Packages, Or Packaging Components For Testing - ASTM F1980-16, Standard Guide For Accelerated Aging Of Sterile Barrier Systems For Medical Devices - ISO 10993-1:2018, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices; Part 1 –Evaluation and Testing - ISO 10993-7:2008, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 7: Ethylene Oxide Sterilization Residuals - ISO 10993-10:2021, Biological Evaluation Of Medical Devices - Part 10: Tests For Irritation And Skin Sensitization - ISO 10993-11:2017, Biological Evaluation Of Medical Devices - Part 11: Tests For Systemic Toxicity - ISO 10993-12:2021, Biological Evaluation Of Medical Devices - Part 12: Sample Preparation And Reference Materials - ISO 11135: 2014, Sterilization of healthcare products - Ethylene Oxide- Requirements For Development, Validation And Routine Control Of A Sterilization - ISO 11607-1:2019, Packaging for terminally sterilized medical devices – Part 1: Requirements for materials, sterile barrier systems and packaging systems, Amendment 1: Application of risk management 2023 - ISO 11607-2:2019, Packaging for terminally sterilized medical devices – Part 2: Validation requirements for forming, sealing and assembly processes, Amendment 1: Application of risk management 2023 - FDA-2013-D-0305, Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, “Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process”, Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff, 09/2023. 5 {9} 510(k) Summary- K261014 # Summary of Clinical Tests: The subject of this premarket submission, Accuro® 3S Needle Guide Kit, did not require clinical studies to support the determination of substantial equivalence. # Conclusion: Accuro® 3S Needle Guide Kit exhibits the same characteristics and indications for use as legally marketed predicate and reference devices. Conclusions drawn from performance tests demonstrate substantial equivalence (SE). Therefore, Rivanna Medical considers Accuro® 3S Needle Guide Kit as substantially equivalent. 6
