Intended Use
The Multi Drip™ Infusion Catheter is a single-use, short duration catheter intended for use with the Alpha Infusion Pump for the continuous infusion of medication directly into an intraoperative site for postoperative pain management. Infusions may also be administered percutaneously.
Device Description
The Multi Drip™ Infusion Catheter is designed to be used with the Alpha Infusion Pump (K021964) to deliver a continuous infusion of medication to a patient at a predetermined flow rate. It is a sterile, non-pyrogenic, single use device for use in the hospital or by an ambulatory patient. Except for the size of the exit ports and the closed distal end of the catheter, the Multi Drip Infusion Catheter is identical in construction and operation to the previously cleared Alpha Cath Infusion Catheter series (K021964). Like the Alpha Cath Infusion Catheter, the proximal end of the Multi Drip™ Infusion Catheter has a stainless steel needle attached to it for insertion of the catheter into the outflow septum of the Alpha Infusion Pump. The flow rate of the fluid delivered from the Alpha Infusion Pump through the catheter is determined by the preset delivery pressure of the pump and the internal diameter and length of the micro-bore PVC tubing forming the catheter. The Multi Drip™ Infusion Catheters are available in a range of lengths and flow rates identical to the Alpha Cath Infusion Catheters. Both catheter series are packaged in individual Tyvek pouches and sterilized by gamma irradiation.
More Information

The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and fluid dynamics of the catheter, with no mention of AI or ML technologies. The flow rate is determined by the pump's pressure and the catheter's physical dimensions, not by any intelligent algorithm.

Yes.

The device is intended for the continuous infusion of medication for postoperative pain management, demonstrating its therapeutic function.

No

The device is an infusion catheter, intended for delivering medication for pain management, not for diagnosing a condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical catheter made of materials like PVC tubing and stainless steel, designed for delivering medication. It is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the continuous infusion of medication directly into an intraoperative site for postoperative pain management. This is a therapeutic use, delivering a substance into the body, not for testing samples from the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter designed to deliver fluid from a pump into a patient. This aligns with a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing information for diagnosis.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device's function is to deliver medication, which is a treatment.

Summary of Performance Studies

The Multi Drip™ Infusion Catheter is identical in materials and construction to the Alpha Cath Infusion Catheter except for the port configuration at the end of the catheter. The physical specifications and performance of the Multi Drip™ and Alpha Cath Infusion Catheter are identical.

Multi Drip™ Infusion Catheters are 100% tested for flow rate, as are the Alpha Cath Infusion Catheters, prior to release. The product flow rate accuracy is established at ±15% of the indicated flow rate.

The Multi Drip™ Infusion Catheter is equivalent in design of the infusion portion of the catheter to the I-Flow Soaker and Stryker ExFen catheters. All three catheters have a closed off end, have a 6.5 cm or 12.5 cm infusion portion along the distal end of the catheter, and have round holes spaced along the entire length of the infusion portion.

The I-Flow Soaker Catheter uses a hollow fiber to distribute fluid to all of its ports. The Stryker ExFen Catheter uses a coiled stainless steel spring to distribute fluid to all of its ports. However, during actual use, only a portion of the ports in either catheter actually flowed.

The Multi Drip™ Infusion Catheter uses a few small diameter holes to distribute fluid flow along the infusion portion of the catheter. The diameter of these ports in the Multi Drip Infusion Catheter was selected so that at least four out of the six ports flowed. The performance of the infusion portion of these three style catheters was substantially equivalent.

Key Metrics

Product flow rate accuracy is established at ±15% of the indicated flow rate.
During testing, flow was achieved through at least 4 of the 6 holes present in all catheters.

    1. Comparison to Predicate
      The proposed device, the Multi Drip™ Infusion Catheter, claims substantial equivalence to Advanced Infusion's currently marketed Alpha Cath Infusion Catheter (K021964) in Advanced intention be carrently and intended use. Both cather and intended use. Both catheters are for use with the Alpha Infusion Pump (K021964). Both catheters are constructed of the for use with the rip/ra 19/12/12/2019 11/2019 11/2019 11/2019 11/2 1/2 1/2 Same material, have and restrictor, have a needle attached to the proximal end for insertion that tuneter into the Alpha Infusion Pump, and have ports along the distal end of the of the catherer inly differences between the two catheters is that the end of the Alpha Cath Catheter. The only unferences of the Multi Drip™ Infusion Catheter is closed, and illiusion Catherer is openth Infusion Catheter are axial slits while the ports on the Multi Drip™ Infusion Catheter are tiny round holes.

If the distal end of the Alpha Cath Infusion Catheter should become blocked during use, the medication will continue to flow out of the axial slit ports along the side of the distal und of the catheter. In this condition, the Alpha Cath Infusion Catheter functions in exactly the same way as the Multi Drip™ Infusion Catheter. The Multi Drip™ Infusion Catheter is manufacture with the distal end of the catheter closed, so that flow will only Occur through the ports along the side of the distal end of the catheter. Therefore, the Multi occar through and ports and stantially equivalent to the Alpha Cath Infusion Catheter in function, design, materials of construction, operation, and intended use.

In addition, the Multi Drip™ Infusion Catheter is substantial equivalence to the I-Flow m ater Catheter (K994374) and the Stryker ExFen Catheter (K033039) in regards to function, design of the distal end of the catheter, and intended use. The function of the Soaker Catheter, the ExFen Catheter, and the Multi Drip™ Infusion Catheter, is to cause flow to occur through the side ports along the distal end of the catheters. This is accomplished by closing off the end of the catheters which causes flow to occur only through the side ports. The length of the distal portion of the catheter having ports is either 6.5 cm or 12.5 cm for all three style catheters.

through the filter, it flows out the side port holes. However, during actual use, only a portion of the holes actually flow.

The Stryker ExFen Catheter has 0.13 mm diameter holes spaced approximately every 0.4 cm along the distal portion of the catheter. In order to obtain flow through all the holes, a tightly coiled stainless steel spring is placed inside the distal end of the catheter. As fluid seeps through the coils of the spring, it flows out the side port holes. However, during actual use, only a portion of the holes actually flow.

The Advanced Infusion Multi Drip™ Infusion Catheter has six 0.05 mm diameter holes spaced along the distal portion of the catheter. Spacing is either 1 cm or 2 cm depending on the length of the infusion portion of the catheter. In order to obtain flow through all the holes, the diameter and quantity of the holes is balanced to the flow rate through the catheter. During testing, flow was achieved through at least 4 of the 6 holes present in all catheters.

The Multi Drip™ Infusion Catheter is also substantially equivalent in function, overall design of the distal end, and intended use to the I-Flow Soaker Catheter and the Stryker ExFen Catheter.
