## Indications for Use

The Pearl Diabetes Management System is intended for continuous, subcutaneous delivery of insulin at programmable basal and bolus rates for the management of diabetes mellitus in adult patients requiring insulin.

## Device Story

Pearl Diabetes Management System is a continuous, programmable insulin delivery system for adult patients with diabetes. System components include a controller unit with a user interface for programming basal and bolus delivery parameters, a single-use pump body containing the drive mechanism and battery, and an infusion set adapter. The device operates by applying controlled force to a pre-filled insulin cartridge to deliver insulin via an infusion set. Used in clinical or home settings, the device is operated by the patient or healthcare provider. Output consists of automated insulin delivery based on programmed settings, allowing for precise glycemic management. The system is a modification of the previously cleared Pearl System, maintaining the same fundamental drive mechanism and microprocessor-based controller.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Performance verification included accuracy testing, altitude and altitude shock, free fall, liquid ingress, positive and negative elevation, system occlusion, and software validation.

## Technological Characteristics

Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) pump. Components: controller, single-use pump body, infusion set adapter. Drive mechanism: electromechanical plunger drive. Control: microprocessor-based. Connectivity: not specified. Power: battery-operated. Software: embedded controller firmware.

## 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.

## Predicate Devices

The Pearl Diabetes Management System has the same intended use as a number of commercially available medical devices, operates within an established range of insulin delivery, and uses existing established technology also known as Continuous Subcutaneous Insulin Infusion (CSII).

#### Intended Use

The Pearl Diabetes Management System is intended for continuous, subcutaneous delivery of insulin at programmable basal and bolus rates for the management of diabetes mellitus in adult patients requiring insulin.

#### Description of Device

The Pearl Diabetes Management System is a continuous, programmable insulin delivery system. It consists of a controller, a single use pump body and an infusion set adapter. The controller unit has a user interface to program delivery parameters for basal and bolus insulin delivery. It attaches to the pump body. The pump body provides the drive mechanism and battery power and holds the pre-filled insulin cartridges. The infusion set adapter is the conduit from the insulin cartridge to the final delivery tubing.

#### Summary of Technological Characteristics

The system uses existing established and unchanged technology and materials, relative to the previously cleared device. The system employs the same drive mechanism as that of the cleared Pearl System (#K100567) to apply controlled and accurate force to move the plunger in the insulin cartridge. The microprocessor based controller is unchanged.

#### Performance Testing

The system has been verified for performance and functionality to provide assurance that the device modifications have been designed and tested to assure conformance to the requirements for its intended use.

The following are the major tests that were performed on the Pearl Pump System to support the modifications:

- . accuracy
- altitude and altitude shock .
- . free fail
- . liquid ingress
- positive and negative elevation .
- system occlusion .
- software validation .

{2}------------------------------------------------

#### Conclusion

Performance testing on the modified device demonstrated that the Pearl Diabetes Management System performs reliably and delivers insulin as intended through the Asante Infusion Sets, and is safe for its intended use. Design verification testing confirmed that no new questions of safety or effectiveness were identified during device testing of the modified device.

Based upon the successful safety and performance tests and the similarities to predicate device, the modified Pearl Diabetes Management System is substantially equivalent to the predicate Pearl System in design, features, performance, fundamental scientific technology, and indications for use.
