## Indications for Use

The Hospira GemStar® Infusion Pump System with Hospira GemStar® Pump Sets and Hospira GemStar® Spring Assist Mechanism Lockbox is intended for use in intravenous arterial, subcutaneous, short term epidural infusion and parenteral administration of general I.V. fluids, medications, nutritional fluids, and blood/blood products. The indications for use include hospital, ambulatory, and home care environments. The pump must be used with sterile, dedicated, GemStar® administration sets.

## Device Story

The Hospira GemStar® Infusion Pump System is a single-channel, electromechanical, volumetric, piston-driven pump. It uses an in-line cassette to meter fluids through dedicated sterile administration sets. The device is programmable by healthcare practitioners for various weight- and medication-based delivery units. It functions as both a pole-mounted and ambulatory pump, powered by AC adapter, rechargeable battery, or disposable AA batteries. The system includes a Spring Assist Mechanism (SAM) Lockbox for secure pain management. The pump displays operational status, alarms, and flow parameters. It is used in hospital, ambulatory, and home care environments to deliver fluids and medications, aiding clinical decision-making by providing precise, controlled infusion therapy.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided.

## Technological Characteristics

Single-channel, electromechanical, volumetric, piston-driven infusion pump. Materials: sterile, non-pyrogenic, latex-free administration sets. Power: AC, rechargeable battery, or 2x AA batteries. Connectivity: optional GemStar ConnectTM remote communication software. Software: programmable, weight/medication-based units. Form factor: pole-mounted or ambulatory.

## 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.

#### 7. Intended Use:

The Hospira GemStar® Infusion Pump System with Hospira GemStar® Pump Sets and Hospira GemStar Spring Assist Mechanism Lockbox is intended for use in intravenous arterial, subcutaneous Short term epidural infusion and parenteral administration of general I.V. fluids, medications, nutritional fluids, and blood/blood products.

#### 8. Indications for Use:

The Hospira GemStar® Infusion Pump System with Hospira GemStar® Pump Sets and Hospira GemStar® Spring Assist Mechanism Lockbox is intended for use in intravenous arterial, subcutaneous, short term epidural infusion and parenteral administration of general I.V. fluids, medications, nutritional fluids, and blood/blood products.

The indications for use include hospital, ambulatory, and home care environments. The pump must be used with sterile, dedicated, GemStar® administration sets.

#### 9. Proposed Device Description:

The Hospira GemStar® Infusion Pump Systems are a family of single channel, software controlled, electromechanical infusion pumps that operate on a volumetric, piston driven, fluid displacement principle. An in-line cassette is used to meter IV fluids through sterile dedicated administration sets designed to be used exclusively with GemStar infusers. Power options included an AC main adaptor, a rechargeable battery pack, a docking station, and two disposable AA batteries. The user interface allows the healthcare practitioner to program fluid delivery through a variety of weight and medication based units. The pump displays provide visible indication of several functions, including active pump operations, alarm and program status, and the parameters of fluid flow. The infusers function as both pole mounted and ambulatory infusion pumps.

As of May 03, 2004, both the infusers and the dedicated GemStar® sets are manufactured and distributed by Hospira Incorporated, formerly the Hospital Products Division of Abbott Laboratories.

All Hospira GemStar® I.V. Infusion Pumps are single channel pumps that are available in the following configurations:
