Monitors fluid/patient temperature, line pressure, air-in-line. Includes hardware override circuit for safety. Battery backup for mobile transport. Connectivity: standalone system. Sterilization: compatible with sterile solutions.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring thoracic or peritoneal cavity lavage with warmed sterile solution to reach a physician-selected target temperature.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An infusion pump is a device used in a health care facility to pump fluids into a patient in a controlled manner. The device may use a piston pump, a roller pump, or a peristaltic pump and may be powered electrically or mechanically. The device may also operate using a constant force to propel the fluid through a narrow tube which determines the flow rate. The device may include means to detect a fault condition, such as air in, or blockage of, the infusion line and to activate an alarm.

Comparison of Technological Belmont Instrument Corporation is claiming Characteristics of the Device vs. substantial equivalence of of the Belmont® Hyperthermia Pump, to our Belmont® Hyperthermia the Legally Marketed Device: Pump which was originally cleared to market under 510(k) K070654 on June 8, 2007, and to the Belmont® Hyperthermia Pump 1000 ml/min flow rate was cleared to market under 510(k) K090089 on February 12, 2009.
> Belmont® The Hyperthermia Pump was a modification of the Rapid Infuser which has been in clinical use for more than 15 years; consequently a component used in the system had become obsolete and hard to obtain. Therefore, the system hardware (chip replacement), and software (to correspond with the chip changes) have been upgraded. At the same time, we are using a brighter monochromatic display with a higher contrast LCD to improve visibility. We have performed a rigorous validation to ensure that these updates are backward compatible with our existing system and no major functions have been altered.
Brief Discussion of Nonclinical Tests and their Results Submitted in the Application:
Specific Modifications being
reviewed in this submission:
In order to verify performance of the Belmont® Hyperthermia Pump in support of substantial equivalence, the following tests were carried out:
- a. The ability of the system to pump fluids accurately over the full range of flow rate and operating conditions including different input fluid temperatures, different back pressure levels, and change in ambient temperature.
{5}------------------------------------------------
Brief Discussion of Nonclinical Tests and their Results Submitted in the Application: Cont'd
- b. The ability of the system to warm cold fluids to the user set temperature over the full range of flow rate and operating conditions.
- c. The ability of the system to detect and alarm at unsafe or ineffective operating conditions including over temperature, the unsafe high line pressure condition, out of fluid, air in the line and at any of several internal fault conditions.
- d. We performed risk assessment and performed the verification and validation tests to ensure that these risks were mitigated and method of controls were implemented correctly.
- e. We validated each algorithm for each function element in the software specification using an approved procedure. We also performed extensive testing for the entire system with software in place to test both the hardware and software functions to ensure that all system requirements are met.
- f. Medical Electrical Equipment - Part 1: General Requirements for Basic Safety and Essential Performance.
- g. Medical Electrical Equipment Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic Compatibility
The Belmont® Hyperthermia Pump performed within specifications in all of the above tests.
The Belmont® Hyperthermia Pump is substantially equivalent to the Belmont® current product which received 510(k) approval at various times. Both systems are capable of high infusion flow rates, while maintaining infusate at user-set temperature, and both systems are suitable for use with sterile solutions. Both systems monitor flow rate. temperature, line pressure, and the presence of air at the input line or within the system, and alarm and stop the system at all unsafe conditions.
Belmont® The tests demonstrate that the Hyperthermia Pump is substantial equivalent and performs as well as the legally marketed device.
