Additionally, the Plum A+ Hyperbaric Infusion System with Hospira MedNet Software can be used under hyperbaric conditions in multiplace and with monoplace (Class A and B) chambers.

## Device Story

Electromechanical infusion pump; uses stepper motor and inline cassette to meter IV fluids. Subject device modified from predicate for hyperbaric environment; includes distal pressure compensation for monoplace chamber pressurization; features green-colored flow regulators for identification. Used in hospital settings and hyperbaric chambers; operated by clinicians. Provides controlled fluid delivery; output monitored by clinicians to manage therapy. Benefits include safe, accurate infusion delivery during hyperbaric treatment.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on design, materials, and technological characteristics compared to predicate devices.

## Technological Characteristics

Electromechanical infusion pump; stepper motor; inline cassette; dedicated administration sets. Features distal pressure compensation for hyperbaric environments. Green-colored flow regulators for hyperbaric identification. Software-controlled (Hospira MedNet).

## Regulatory 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.

Name/Classification Infusion Pump, Class II 80 FRN - 21 CFR Parts 880.5725 of Device: Administration Sets, Class II 80 FPA - 21 CFR Parts 880.5440 Plum A+® Hyperbaric Infusion System with Hospira 4. Trade Name of Proposed Device: MedNet® Software 5. Predicate Devices: Plum A+ Infusion System with Hospira MedNet Software (K042081) Abbott LifeCare® Model 3 HB Pump (K890282)
## 6. Proposed Device Description:

The Plum A+ Hyperbaric Infusion System with Hospira MedNet® Software is an electromechanical infusion pump that uses a stepper motor in conjunction with an inline cassette to meter IV fluids through dedicated intravenous administration sets in normal atmospheric Hospital settings and in Hyperbaric conditions. The infusion pump and administration sets are manufactured and distributed by Hospira. Inc. The Plum A+® Hyperbaric Infusion System is a single channel pump.

The subject device is based on modifications of the predicate infusion pumps. The modifications allow for distal pressure increases due to monoplace hyperbaric chamber pressurization and include distinct coloring to identify the purmp as a hyperbaric device.

Additionally, the sets were changed so that they could be used under hyperbaric conditions. The flow regulator is colored green to identify them as hyperbaric administration sets.

In normal atmospheric conditions, both the predicate and the proposed device can be used for standard, piggyback, or concurrent fluid delivery using the dedicated administration sets currently marketed. No changes to these dedicated administration sets have been made or are required in order to be used with the

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

\u03c881412 (l. a of\u03bb)

subject devices. However, new sets have been designed for administration with monoplace hyperbaric chambers.

#### 7. Statement of Intended Use:

The Plum A+® Hyperbaric Infusion System with Hospira MedNet® Software is indicated for use in parenteral, enteral and epidural therapies and the administration of whole blood and blood products.

Additionally, the Plum A+ Hyperbaric Infusion System with Hospira MedNet Software can be used under hyperbaric conditions in multiplace and with monoplace (Class A and B) chambers.

The indications for use of the subject devices and predicate devices are identical, with the addition of Hyperbaric Capabilities in the subject device

### 8. Summary of Technological Characteristics of New Device Compared to Predicate Device

The subject and predicate devices are similar in design, materials of construction, components, intended use, labeling and manufacturing processes. The proposed modifications do not raise new issues of safety and/or effectiveness. Therefore, this infusion system is substantially equivalent to the predicate infusion pumps.

The claim for substantial equivalence is supported by the information provided in the 510(k) submission.

Dear Mr. Devine:

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 such 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.
