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 Ms. Pine:

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.

The minor differences in indications for use statements between the Penguin In- line Warmer and that of the predicate devices have no bearing on the safety or effectiveness of the device when used as labeled, as these differences are merely a functional description (such as flow rate and different diameter range of catheters the device can accommodate) and have no effect on the fundamental intended use. All devices share intended use, namely, to provide external electrical heat to enteral feeding tubes for the purpose of warming the

nutrition solution.

#### Performance Data:

All necessary verification and validation testing has been performed for the Penguin In-Line Warmer to assure substantial equivalence to the predicate device. The testing included:

- . cleaning/disinfection
- temperature verification ●
- . electrical safety (IEC 60601-1)
- electromagnetic compatibility (IEC 60601-1-2) ●
- software validation ●

### Basis for Determination of Substantial Equivalence:

Based on the comparable intended use, principle of operation, overall technological characteristics and the performance data provided, the Penguin In-Line Warmer is as safe and effective as the cited predicate devices and is therefore substantially equivalent.
