2 1 General Description: Page 2 of 15 This documentation concerns the following item: Part number: Item: BLOOD COLLECTION NEEDLE 2 The a.m. item is made of the following components: 2.1 LANCET POINT (Art ) 2.2 NEEDLE HOLDER (Art ) 2.3 CANNULA FOR BLOOD COLLECTION NEEDLE (Art ) N ARTICLE N DESCRIPTION MATERIAL PROPERTIES LANCET POINT PC - POLYCARBONATE NEEDLE HOLDER PVC POLYVINYL CHLORIDE CANNULA STAINLESS STEEL AISI Standards for statistical quality control: Our sampling for quality test is according to UNI-ISO 2859/1 (Reference to MIL-STD 105D) 3.1 Sampling for testing: Single-Ordinary-II level according to UNI ISO The number of pieces that are sampled for testing depends on the batch size. The acceptance number (NA) and the rejected number (NR) are based on the a.m. standard and on the AQL which changes with the different defects. 3.2 Lot Definition: In case of process control, by control batch it is meant a quantity of unfinished product homogeneous per model, batch and period of production (consecutive production). Usually it corresponds to the quantity of the same product manufactured in one shift Lot approval Each lot is approved if it meets the established quality requirements. 3.3 Acceptable quality level (AQL) The acceptable number of defective pieces is regulated by the following AQL levels: Critical Defect (C) (AQL=0) This quality level refers to those defects, found during inspections, that could cause death or serious damage to the user. Examples of this kind of non-conformity are presence of pyrogen substances or toxicity due to non-biocompatible or non-sterile materials.

3 Page 3 of Serious Defect (M) (AQL=0,25) This quality level refers to those defects that make the part un-usable or not performing to the declared rating Secondary Defect (m) (AQL=2.5) This quality level refers to those defects of a visual nature that do not prejudice functionality. It usually concerns aesthetical defects. 4 Lubricant The cannula is covered by a layer composed of a mixture of silicones ( F.D.A. in compliance with USP DIMETHICONE MONOGRAPH.), in order to guarantee an homogeneous lubrication of the surface. 5 Checks on the needle sharpness The assembling process includes a monitoring system which checks 100 % of cannulae points and rejects the ones with a non-conforming sharpness. Anyway, CQ operators checks the needle sharpness on representative samples taken at random, by piercing some latex membranes by hand. 6 Packaging Our standard packaging is the following: First LDPE sealed bag 32 x 57 (ref ) containing pieces. Cartene sealed bag X95 (ref ) containing 10 bags Carton box for export 395x585x235 (ref ) containing 10'000 pieces Europallet 800X1200(ref ) wrapped by film. 7 Labelling On each bag we apply a label containing the following information (see enclosure 2): Item reference number Item description Number of production order Lot number Lot number indicated by BARCODE Quantity per bag Quantity indicated by BARCODE Time and date of packaging Reference number of the operator

8 ATTACHMENT 4 SPECIAL PROCESSES Page 8 of 15 In addition to the standard assembling equipment, the assembling line of the blood collection needle is composed of special tools which automatically perform the following additional operations: 1. the cannula sticking to the lancet point 2. the glue polymerization through UVA rays 3. an heating system on the cannula 4. the cannula siliconization 5. internal cleaning of the cannula though bidirectional jets of filtered air 6. the lancet point sticking into the needle holder 7. a further glue polymerization through UVA rays Fig. 01 the polymerization phase (UVA rays) ATTACHMENT 5 INSTRUMENTAL TESTS The brand new assembling line of the blood collection needle is composed of sophisticated tools able to perform fully automatically and on 100% of the components produced a series of validation tests. In fact, this equipment can perform tests including the one to verify a correct assembling process, the test to check the needle sharpness through videocameras and the leak test on the assembled components. Fig. 02 / 03 test to check the correct needle sharpness

9 Page 9 of 15 In parallel with the tests performed in-process directly in the assembling line, other tests are carried out according to a sampling plan in compliance with ISO 2859 Norm. These checks, in fact, are intended for validating the functional features of the blood collection needle and concern the joining together of the cannula and the lancet point, the force necessary to the cannula to pierce a membrane (test performed on the assembled components), the mainteinance of its mechanical features after sterilization at 120 C for 45 minutes in autoclave. Fig. 04 / 05 test on the force necessary to remove the cannula from the lancet point Fig. 06 / 07 perforation force test

11 Page 11 of 15 Attachment 6.2 Silicone The fluid used for the external lubrication of the cannula is a mixture of specially studied silicone. The main feature of this mixture is the capacity to create a surface layer of film with a minimum thickness, but able to maintain its lubricating characteristics unchanged for a long period of time (more than 3 years). Moreover, the supplier guarantees its biocompatibility and compliance with USP Dimethicone Monograph. Please find the technical characteristics of the main product we make use of as follows.
