## Indications for Use

The intended use for the DESK is to allow users the ability to add, modify, or delete drug names and dosing parameters to the existing drug list for the Dose Rate Calculator feature in the MedSystem III Infusion Pump. The intended use for the MedSystem III Infusion Pump is to deliver a wide variety of fluids over a broad range of infusion rates, at high levels of accuracy.

## Device Story

DESK is PC-based software (Windows) for customizing drug lists in MedSystem III Infusion Pump's Dose Rate Calculator (DRC). User accesses pump's factory default drug list via Field Maintenance Software (FMS); adds, modifies, or deletes drug names and dosing parameters; downloads updated list to pump. MedSystem III delivers fluids/drugs at various rates. DESK enables permanent customization of drug lists compared to existing one-by-one manual entry. Used by clinical staff/technicians in healthcare settings to manage infusion parameters. Benefits include standardized, customized drug libraries for improved infusion accuracy and workflow efficiency.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

PC-based software (Windows) accessory. Operates via Field Maintenance Software (FMS) interface to communicate with MedSystem III Infusion Pump. No changes to pump hardware. Connectivity via FMS download to pump.

## 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.

2. DEVICE NAME: Proprietary Name: IVAC MedSystem III™ Infusion Pump with Drug Editing Software Kit (DESK)

Common Name: Infusion Pump

Classification Name: Infusion Pump

3. PREDICATE DEVICE: IVAC MedSystem III™ Infusion Pump

4. DEVICE DESCRIPTION: The DESK is a PC-based software tool operated under Microsoft Windows. This software tool will be used to customize the drug list for the Dose Rate Calculator (DRC) feature that is already available in the legally marketed MedSystem III Infusion Pump. The DESK allows the user to access the factory default drug list in the infusion pump via the Field Maintenance Software (FMS). After access the user can add, modify, or delete drug names and dosing parameters. The modified list can then be downloaded into the MedSystem III Infusion Pump via the FMS. The FMS is already available as a legally marketed accessory to the MedSystem III Infusion Pump.

5. INTENDED USE: The intended use for the DESK is to allow users the ability to add, modify, or delete drug names and dosing parameters to the existing drug list for the Dose Rate Calculator feature in the MedSystem III Infusion Pump. The intended use for the MedSystem III Infusion Pump is to deliver a wide variety of fluids over a broad range of infusion rates, at high levels of accuracy.

6. TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS:

The MedSystem III Infusion Pump has not changed. The DESK is a software accessory with the same technological characteristics as the FMS software accessory.

The primary function of the MedSystem III Infusion Pump with or without the DESK is the same: to deliver a wide variety of fluids over a broad range of infusion rates. A similar feature to the DESK is already available in the legally marketed MedSystem III Infusion Pump. This feature allows the user to customize the drug list on a single basis. DESK allows the user to customize the drug list on a permanent basis. The technological characteristics of the devices are the same and raise no new questions of safety and effectiveness. IVAC Medical Systems, Inc. concludes that the MedSystem III Infusion Pump with or without the DESK are substantially equivalent.

Dear Ms. Fluet:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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). 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 (Premarket Approval), 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 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Good Manufacturing Practice for Medical Devices: General (GMP) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic GMP inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of
