Intended Use

Rechargeable batteries are utilized in portable medical equipment as a primary d-c power source or as a stand-by or backup d-c power source for portable as well as stationary medical equipment with a-c providing the primary power. These devices are copies of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or After-Market battery packs currently on the market. A sample is generally submitted by Hospitals, Medical Centers, and Biomedical or Clinical Engineering Service Professionals for duplication. There is no direct contact with the OEM's or access to their equipment for testing purposes. The end-user provides feedback and assists in qualifying the device as to its performance, form, fit or function although we incorporate all available resources to assist us in producing a device that meets or exceeds OEM specifications. It is this process that the majority of after-market manufacturers utilize in order to duplicate battery packs for sale as replacements for the original or predicate device. Battery packs are "device specific" and are designed to operate and fit into those OEM devices for which they were manufactured. Therefore, only qualified personnel should evaluate, test, or install these devices.

Device Story

Rechargeable battery packs (Models MLA6153, MNC 847L) serve as primary or backup DC power sources for portable and stationary medical equipment. Devices are manufactured as aftermarket replacements for OEM battery packs. Production involves duplicating samples submitted by hospitals, medical centers, and clinical engineering professionals. Operation is passive; the battery provides electrical power to the host medical device. Installation and performance qualification are performed by qualified personnel in clinical settings. The device benefits patients by ensuring continuous power availability for critical medical equipment.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing and performance qualification are conducted by end-users (hospitals/biomedical professionals) to verify form, fit, and function against OEM specifications.

Technological Characteristics

Rechargeable battery packs designed for specific medical equipment. Function as DC power sources. Form factor and electrical specifications are matched to OEM requirements. No active sensing or software components.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use as a primary or backup DC power source for portable and stationary medical equipment. Intended for installation and evaluation by qualified biomedical or clinical engineering personnel.

Dear Mr. Henderson:

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. 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.

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 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

{1}------------------------------------------------

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at one of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of the letter:
