Intended Use
The Symphony breast pump is a powered breast pump to be used by lactating women to express and collect milk from their breast.
Device Description
The Symphony Powered Breast Pump is intended to express the mother's milk of a lactating woman. The pumping can be performed on one breast or on both breasts at the same time. A DC motor is employed to drive both diaphragm pumps, one for each breast. The diaphragm pumps create the negative pressure (suction), required to extract the breast milk. Because the motor is controlled by a programmable microcontroller, the mother can potentially select from a number of pumping (suction) programs. The pumping programs are stored on separate pumping cards, which are inserted into the Breast Pump, prior to operating the device. The card is similar in size to a credit card. The Symphony Powered Breast Pump employs a control knob, for the user to adjust the applied vacuum. The breast pump is capable of providing vacuum levels from 0 to 200 mmHg, constant or variable; 7 to 110 cycles per minute. Configured with a specific pumping card, the breast pump will provide a "Stimulation" mode of fast cycles along with an "Expression" mode of slower cycles. All materials with milk contact or components with human breast contact are manufactured from materials that meet the appropriate FDA and international regulations concerning food contact and/or biocompatibility.

No
The description mentions a programmable microcontroller and stored pumping programs on cards, which indicates pre-programmed logic, not AI/ML. There is no mention of learning, adaptation, or data-driven decision making.

No
A therapeutic device is one that treats or prevents a disease or condition. This device is used to express breast milk, which is a physiological process, not a medical condition.

No
The device is a breast pump used for expressing and collecting milk, not for diagnosing a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components such as a DC motor, diaphragm pumps, a control knob, and pumping cards, indicating it is a physical device with integrated software control, not a software-only medical device.

Based on the provided information, the Symphony breast pump is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "express and collect milk from their breast." This is a physical process of extracting a bodily fluid, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample of that fluid to gain information about a person's health or condition.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the mechanical aspects of creating suction to extract milk. There is no mention of analyzing the milk or using it for diagnostic purposes.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: The description does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information.
  • Anatomical Site: The device interacts with the breast, which is the source of the milk, not a sample of the milk itself being analyzed.

IVD devices are typically used to examine specimens such as blood, urine, tissue, or other body fluids in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The Symphony breast pump's function is purely for the physical collection of breast milk.

Device Description

The Symphony Powered Breast Pump is intended to express the mother's milk of a lactating woman. The pumping action is employed to drive both diaphragm pumps, one for each breast or for both breasts at the same time. A DC motor drives the pumps to create the negative pressure (suction) required to extract the breast milk. Because the motor is controlled by a programmable microcontroller, the mother can potentially select from a number of pumping (suction) programs. The pumping programs are stored on separate pumping cards, which are inserted into the Breast Pump, prior to operating the device. The card is similar in size to a credit card.

The Symphony Powered Breast Pump employs a control knob, for the user to adjust the applied vacuum. The breast pump is capable of providing vacuum levels from 0 to 250 mmHg, constant of variable. Configured with a pumping rate of 40-120 cycles per minute, the breast pump will provide a "Stimulation" mode of fast cycles along with an "Expression" mode of slower cycles.

All materials with milk contact or components with human breast contact are manufactured from materials that meet the appropriate FDA and international regulations concerning food contact and/or biocompatibility.
