## 6. Device Description
The Cimilre Free-T2 Plus and Cimilre Free-T2 are electrically powered wearable single breast pumps consisting of the following key components: a breast shield, valve, milk bottle cap, silicone backflow protector, nipple, locking ring, and C-type USB cable. The main body is powered by a rechargeable internal battery facilitating a motor and solenoid valve to generate suction pressure for breast pumping. The device is electronically operated with a microprocessor controlled by integrated software to provide a range of adjustable vacuum pressure and cycle rates. Pumping can be performed on one breast (single pumping) in wearable mode. The user interface allows the user to switch from massage to expression mode and control the vacuum levels within those modes. Both massage and expression mode consist of 12 total vacuum levels (5 massage, 7 expression). Both models are capable of providing vacuum levels from 50-130 mmHg with cycling rates from 55-70 cycles per minute in massage mode and vacuum levels from 150-280 mmHz with cycling rates from 27-51 cycles per minute in expression mode. The subject devices are powered by a 3.7 V 1200 mA internal rechargeable lithium-ion polymer battery. The motor unit operates on embedded software. The Free-T2 Plus model can communicate wirelessly via Bluetooth with smartphone devices. Software updates by endusers are not supported. The subject devices are for repeated use by a single user in a home environment. The devices are provided not sterile.
{4}------------------------------------------------
The breast pump expresses by creating a seal around the nipple using the breast shield and applying and releasing suction to the milk is collected in a milk collection container, which can be used for storage. To prevent milk from flowing into the vacuum system, a backflow protection membrane physically separates the milk-contacting pathway from the vacuum system.
All other components (i.e., motor unit) of the subject device are not in contact with the breast.
The motor unit operates on a rechargeable battery and does not function when charging. The rechargeable battery can be charged from the external USB adapter if the motor unit is not in operation.
The subject device components are made of the following materials:
- · Motor unit
- · Backflow protector, valve, breast shield insert, nipple: Silicone
- · Breast Shield, milk bottle (and cap), locking ring, disc: Propylene Ethylene Copolymer
All milk contacting components are compliant with 21 CFR 174-179.
