Intended Use
An electrically powered breast pump with adjustable vacuum and massage settings and 2 funnels for expressing milk from the breasts of a lactating woman.
Device Description
The Gerber Double Electric Breast Pump is a simple and effective system for expressing milk from a lactating women's breast(s). The device includes the following components: a pump base, flexible tubing, a funnel assembly, a carrying bag, and accessories (e.g. bottles, nipples, and disposable nursing pads). The device is powered by a variable speed power supply that drives a diaphragm pump creates the negative pressure required to extract breast milk. The breast pump is capable of providing a variable vacuum and massage like motion. A maximum vacuum of 240 mm Hg can be applied to one or both breasts.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the mechanical and electrical components of a standard breast pump and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is also explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No
A therapeutic device is one that performs therapy, such as treating or curing a disease. A breast pump is for expressing milk, which is not a therapeutic act.

No
Explanation: A breast pump is used to express milk, which is a therapeutic or assistive function, not a diagnostic one. It does not identify or investigate any disease, condition, or state of being.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as a pump base, flexible tubing, funnel assembly, and a power supply driving a diaphragm pump.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to express milk from the breasts of a lactating woman. This is a physical process involving the body, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a mechanical pump that creates negative pressure to extract milk. It does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or any other biological sample for diagnostic purposes.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is the breasts, which are the target of the physical action of the pump, not the source of a sample for analysis.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This breast pump does not fit that description.

Dear Ms. Carson:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
