Abstract

The different technologies available in safe injection practices can be categorised as: (1) Auto disable syringes for immunisation. (2) Prefilled devices. (3) Reuse prevention syringes for curative injections. (4) New safety devices which include safe blood draw and NSI prevention devices. Auto disable syringes are preferred over normal disposable syringes because of its safety and can be used with minimal amount of training. These syringes improved vaccination coverage rates and are being currently introduced in country EPI. Uniject prefill injection device ensures safety by various ways. There are also reuse prevention syringes for curative injections. The new safety devices have also been discussed in a nutshell.

Medical devices; reprocessed single-use devices; requirement for submission of validation data. Direct final rule.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is amending certain classification regulations for reprocessed single-use devices (SUDs) whose exemption from premarket notification (510(k)) requirements have been terminated and other reprocessed SUDs already subject to premarket notification for which validation data, as specified under the Medical Device User Fee and Modernization Act of 2002 (MDUFMA), are necessary in a 510(k). Elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, we are publishing a companion proposed rule, under FDA's usual procedures for notice and comment, to provide a procedural framework to finalize the rule in the event we receive any significant adverse comment and withdraw the direct final rule. This action codifies actions taken in previous Federal Register notices in accordance with MDUFMA.
