Intended Use

The Nuby™ Natural Touch Rhythm™ Dual Action Electric Breast Pump is indicated to express and collect milk from the breasts of lactating women.

Device Story

Nuby™ Natural Touch Rhythm™ is a powered breast pump for lactating women. Device features a 'soft flex' funnel that actuates to replicate infant suckling, stimulating let-down. Operates via mains power, battery, or as a manual pump. Includes electronic memory for saving personal pump settings or using pre-programmed modes. Used by the patient in a home setting. Output is expressed breast milk collected in a container. Healthcare providers do not operate the device; it is for patient self-use. Performance is comparable to manual and electronic pumping methods, facilitating milk collection for infant feeding.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Comparative performance testing (suction, speed, flow rate) against the predicate device demonstrated substantial equivalence. Biocompatibility testing for the patient-contacting 'Softflex' funnel was conducted per ISO 10993 (cytotoxicity, sensitization, intracutaneous reactivity, acute systemic toxicity). Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility verified per IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2.

Technological Characteristics

Powered breast pump; single-user. Materials: Softflex™ funnel (biocompatible per ISO 10993). Power: Mains or battery. Features: Electronic memory for settings, manual override capability. Electrical safety: IEC/UL 60601-1; EMC: IEC 60601-1-2. Milk-contacting components comply with 21 CFR 174 and 177.

Indications for Use

Indicated for lactating women to express and collect breast milk.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

Indications for Use The Nuby™ Natural Touch Rhythm™ Dual Action Electric Breast Pump is indicated to express and collect milk from the breasts of lactating women. MAR 2 4 2010 ﺪﻭ ﭘﺮ ﭘﺮﻭ {1}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/1/Picture/0 description: The image shows handwritten text. The first line reads "K100385". The second line reads "pg. 2 of 2". The text appears to be a page number or document identifier. The Nuby™ Natural Touch Rhythm™ Dual Action Electric Breast Pump is a BPA-free breast pump designed with an electronic memory that allows the lactating mother to save and control personal pump settings or use one of the two settings that are already pre-programmed. The "soft flex" funnel protects and actuates in and out, replicating baby's suckling action and stimulating a fast, natural let-down. In addition to mains power, this single electronic pump can also operate using battery power or as a manual pump. #### Summary of the Technical Characteristics 6. - . Performance The components of the Nuby™ Natural Touch Rhythm™ Dual Action Electric Breast Pump were evaluated to ensure that the recommended cleaning/sanitization procedures would not significantly alter the material/geometry of the pump components nor negatively impact the overall efficiency/ operation of the pump. In addition, laboratory testing was conducted to estimate the "life cycle" of the device as approximately 1.6 years. Finally, testing was conducted on the Nuby™ Natural Touch Rhythm™ Dual Action Electric Breast Pump and the ISIS iQ UNO Handheld Electronic Breast Pump as to evaluate and compare the general performance characteristics (i.e., suction, speeds, and flow rates) of these devices. Based on this study, both devices performed substantially equivalent in terms of suction, speeds, and flow rate (i.e., rate of fluid/milk extraction). - Biocompatibility The Softflex™ Funnel (or Flex Horn) is the only patient-contacting component associated with the Nuby™ Natural Touch Rhythm™ Dual Action Electric Breast Pump. This component was tested and passed all required biocompatibility testing (i.e., cyctotoxicty, sensitization, and intracutaneous reactivity, and acute systemic toxicity) conducted in accordance with ISO 10993. In addition, the milk-contacting components comply with 21CFR 174 and 177. - Electrical ● The Nuby™ Natural Touch Rhythm™ Dual Action Electric Breast Pump complies with the medical electrical equipment requirements defined by IEC 60601-1-2 and IEC/UL 60601-1 for electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety, respectively. ## 7. Safety and Effectiveness The Nuby™ Natural Touch Rhythm™ Dual Action Electric Breast Pump is as safe and effective as the predicate device listed in this 510(k) submission. The Nuby™ Natural Touch Rhythm™ Dual Action Electric Breast Pump and the ISIS iQ UNO Handheld Electronic Breast Pump (K052047) have the same indications for use and are similar in both design and function. Any differences in technological characteristics between the Nuby™ Natural Touch Rhythm™ Dual Action Electric Breast Pump and the predicate device do not raise issues of safety and effectiveness. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
