Indications for Use
InfuLife is a single-use, sterile, disposable elastomeric infusion pump intended for continuous and/or intermittent infusion of medications for general infusion at home, in a hospital, or in alternate sites. InfuLife is indicated for delivery of antibiotics, chemotherapy, and pain management, as directed by a physician or licensed healthcare professional. Routes of administration include intravenous, intra-arterial, subcutaneous, intramuscular, and epidural. Additionally, InfuLife is indicated for continuous and/or intermittent delivery of medication, such as local anesthetics or narcotics, to surgical wound sites and/or proximity to nerves for preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative regional anesthesia and pain management. InfuLife is intended for use by physicians, clinicians, pharmacists, and other licensed healthcare professionals.
Device Story
InfuLife is a non-electrically driven, portable, fixed-flow elastomeric infusion pump. It utilizes a silicon reservoir that exerts pressure on fluid, forcing it through a calibrated flow restrictor in the tubing. Flow rate is determined by Hagen-Poiseuille theory based on fluid viscosity, pipe diameter, pressure, and temperature. The device is used by physicians, clinicians, and pharmacists in hospitals, homes, or alternate sites to deliver medications (antibiotics, chemotherapy, pain management) via various routes (IV, intra-arterial, subcutaneous, intramuscular, epidural, or surgical wound sites). It provides a passive, continuous, or intermittent infusion mechanism. The device benefits patients by enabling controlled medication delivery without external power sources. It is a single-use, sterile, disposable device.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical or animal study data provided. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including fluid delivery performance (AAMI TIR101), biocompatibility (ISO 10993 series), sterilization validation (ISO 11135), and packaging integrity (ASTM standards).
Technological Characteristics
Non-electrically driven elastomeric pump. Materials: Silicon reservoir. Flow control: Calibrated restrictor based on Hagen-Poiseuille theory. Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide (EO) to SAL 10^-6. Shelf-life: 3 years. Dimensions: Various sizes (3.0-7.48 inches). Connectivity: None (standalone).
Indications for Use
Indicated for continuous/intermittent infusion of antibiotics, chemotherapy, and pain management medications in adults and children >20 kg. Routes: IV, intra-arterial, subcutaneous, intramuscular, epidural, and surgical wound/perineural sites. Contraindicated for intra-articular infusion, blood/blood products, insulin, critical/life-supporting medications, incompatible solutions, and patients unable to self-administer or lacking a caregiver. Contraindicated for neonates/infants/children <20 kg.
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.

Dear Mark Shal:
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 (the 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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
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.
Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device"

## Device Description
InfuLife is a non-electrically driven, portable fixed flow rate infusion pump. The fluid is pushed forward by the pressure of the elastomeric bladder. The flow rate of the device is predetermined by the manufacturer using Hagen-Poiseuille theory, which calculates the volumetric flow rate of a fluid with certain viscosity passing through a cylindrical pipe with a known diameter, at a given pressure and temperature.
### Indications for Use
InfuLife is a single-use. sterile, disposable elastomeric infusion pump intended for continuous and/or intermittent infusion of medications for general infusion at home, in a hospital, or in alternate sites.
InfuLife is indicated for delivery of antibiotics, chemotherapy, and pain management, as directed by a physician or licensed healthcare professional. Routes of administration include intravenous, intraarterial, subcutaneous, intramuscular, and epidural. Additionally, InfuLife is indicated for continuous and/or intermittent delivery of medication, such as local anesthetics or narcotics, to surgical wound sites and/or proximity to nerves for preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative regional anesthesia and pain management.
InfuLife is intended for use by physicians, clinicians, pharmacists, and other licensed healthcare professionals.
InfuLife is intended for use by adult patients, and children weighing more than 20 Kg.
#### Contraindications
InfuLife is contraindicated for intra-articular infusion of anesthetics and for infusion of blood and blood products, infusion of insulin, infusion of critical or life-supporting medications, infusion of any solution that is not compatible with the fluid path materials; and use in ambulatory regimens by patients not capable of self-administering their therapy or not under the care of a responsible individual.
#### Residual Risks
