Intended Use
The Evenflo Comfort Control Breast Pump and Comfort Control Dual Breast Pump are personal use batterv/electric powered suction devices used to express mills from the breast of lactating women. These devices are not intended for hospital use.
Device Story
Evenflo Comfort Control Breast Pump and Dual Breast Pump are diaphragm-type suction devices powered by DC motors (AC adapter or batteries). Device generates cycling negative pressure to express milk from lactating women. User operates rotary controls on the unit to adjust cycling speed and negative pressure strength. Designed for personal use; not for hospital settings. Output is expressed milk collected via pump assembly. Benefits include effective milk expression with adjustable settings to prevent tissue damage. Healthcare providers do not operate the device; users manage their own expression sessions.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance testing measured negative pressure generation as a function of time and battery life for subject and predicate devices. No clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
Diaphragm-type pump; DC motor driven. Materials meet 21 CFR 176, 177, 178. Adjustable rotary controls for vacuum (range 43-173 mm Hg) and cycle speed (36-54 cycles/min). Power: AC adapter or 2 C batteries. Overflow protection via valve in horn. Non-networked, standalone device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for lactating women for the expression of breast milk. Personal use only; not for hospital use.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A powered breast pump in an electrically powered suction device used to express milk from the breast.

#### General Description:
The Evenflo Comfort Control Adjustable Speed Breast Pump with Automatic Cycling, and the Evenflo Comfort Control Dual Adjustable Speed Breast Pump with Automatic Cycling are diaphragm type pumps, driven by small DC motors, that create cycling negative pressure. The negative pressure generated by the pump is sufficient to overcome the resistance to the outflow of milk that is created by the muscles, yet gentle enough to prevent tissue damage to the user. The cycling speed and the strength of the negative pressure are controlled by individual rotary controls located on the pump unit. The combination of cycling speed and negative pressure control allow for a range of pressures to be selected. When used as a single collection pump, the maximum negative pressure ranges from 173 mm Hg to 56 mm Hg, and when used in the dual mode, it ranges from 173 mm Hg to 43 mm Hg.

## Non-Clinical Testing:
Evenflo conducted performance testing on its Comfort Control Pumps and each of the predicate devices. These tests measured the negative pressure generated by each pump and plotted the result as a function of time. Through these tests, a comparison of vacuum pressure and cycle speed could be determined. Tests were also conducted to determine the expected useful life of the battery for each pump.
## Conclusion:
It is Evenflo Inc.'s conclusion that the Evenflo Comfort Control Breast Pump and Comfort Control Dual Breast Pump are substantially equivalent to its predicate devices. Based upon the test data submitted, the Comfort Control provides sufficient vacuum pressure to effectively express and collect milk from lactating women.
