Multiple Use Blood Lancet For Multiple Patient Use
The Multiple Use Blood Lancet for Multiple Patient Use is a blood-sampling lancet with a reusable base and single-use blades that is intended for use across multiple patients, which introduces significantly elevated infection and cross-contamination risks compared to single-patient devices. Due to this elevated risk profile, it is classified as FDA Class 3 under regulation 878.4850, requiring Premarket Approval (PMA) and falling under the General and Plastic Surgery specialty. This classification reflects the heightened safety concerns of multi-patient reuse. The device is not an implant and not life-sustaining.
