## Indications for Use

The Navigator™ Delivery System (Navigator DS) is intended for use in the delivery of medication and/or fluids in a controlled manner. The Navigator DS is indicated for use in the intermittent delivery of medications and other fluids in intra-articular applications.

## Device Story

Navigator Delivery System (Navigator DS) is an external infusion pump for controlled delivery of medications/fluids. System components include fluid delivery module, disposable cassette, reusable cassette housing, disposable vial clamps, per-patient disposable handpiece/tubing, and wired foot pedal. Device integrates with ultrasound units via Ethernet for simultaneous display of treatment information and printing of records. Operated by clinicians in clinical settings. System provides controlled fluid delivery; integration features assist in documentation and visualization during intra-articular procedures.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Safety and performance established via bench testing and human factors evaluations.

## Technological Characteristics

External infusion pump; components include fluid delivery module, disposable cassette, reusable cassette housing, disposable vial clamps, handpiece, tubing, and foot pedal. Connectivity via Ethernet for ultrasound integration. Software-controlled delivery.

## 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.

The Navigator Delivery System (Navigator DS) consists of a fluid delivery module, a disposable cassette, a reusable cassette housing, disposable vial clamps, per-patient disposable handpiece and tubing, and wired foot pedal. Image integration with qualified ultrasound units occurs by Ethernet cable connection, if desired, allowing simultaneous display of Navigator treatment information on the ultrasound screen and printing of ultrasound images on the patient treatment record.

The Navigator™ Delivery System (Navigator DS) is intended for use in the delivery of medication and/or fluids in a controlled manner. The Navigator DS is indicated for use in the intermittent delivery of medications and other fluids in intraarticular applications.

All technological aspects of the Navigator DS device are preserved.

The Navigator DS intended use and performance characteristics are not altered by this modification.

December 2012

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

#### Performance Data:

Testing of the Navigator DS was carried out, including performance testing and human factors evaluations. All data demonstrated that the safety and performance of the Navigator DS is not affected by the modification.

A Clinical Evaluation was determined not to be required as the device design, intended use and indication for use are preserved.

A Safety Case and Hazard Analysis demonstrated an acceptable risk profile based on design-based risk mitigation and satisfactory performance and human factors testing.

This modification falls within the FDA regulations for 510(k)

review. The indication for use, intended use, technological characteristics, principles of operation, and performance have not been altered. The next-generation disposables do not raise

#### Rationale for Substantial Equivalence:

any new questions of safety or effectiveness and the system has been demonstrated to provide the same level of performance as the predicate device. The Navigator DS with next-generation disposables is substantially equivalent to the predicate device (Navigator DS K122215).

The Navigator DS next-generation disposables, as modified by this 510(k), do not raise any new issues regarding safety or effectiveness, and therefore is suitable for commercial sale.

Dear Ms. Eberle:

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. 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.

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
