BELMONT BUDDY PLUS FLUID WARMER

• K Number: K062774
• Device Name: BELMONT BUDDY PLUS FLUID WARMER
• Manufacturer: BELMONT INSTRUMENT CORP.
• Date Cleared: 2006-10-19 ( 31 days)
• Product Code: BSB 81B
• Regulation Number: 864.9205

Intended Use

buddy plus™ Fluid Warmer intended use is for warming blood, blood products and intravenous solution prior to administration. It is intended to be used by healthcare professionals in clinical environments to prevent hypothermia.

Device Description

The Belmont buddy plus™ Fluid Warmer is a portable in-line blood and fluid warmer. It consists of three components, a heater unit, a power module which powers the heater unit and displays alarm and status messages, and a single-use disposable heat exchanger set. The power module also contains a built-in battery pack which automatically switches over to the battery operation when the AC power is disconnected. When the power is restored, the system reverts to AC power automatically, the battery charger is activated, and the battery is charged. The heating technology used is resistive heating of two plates within the heater unit. The buddy plus™ Fluid Warmer warms intra-venous fluids, including blood and blood products, to physiological temperature, and monitors fluid temperature. It also senses lack of IV fluid flow, or empty set, and a number of internal fault conditions including over-heating, loss of electrical connection to the heater, and failure to heat. The device stops heating and alarms if an alarm or fault condition occurs. The system provides the user with alarm, alarm message, temperature, and other operating information via a bright alphanumeric display. The sterile disposable set is placed in-line between a standard IV line at its input and a user-supplied cannula or IV infusion set at its output. The input can come from a gravity fed IV line with roller clamp and drip chamber, external to the device and not supplied by Belmont Instrument Corp. The device is intended for low applications where the flow rate is 6 liter/hour (100 ml/min) or less.

Reference Devices

Not Found

AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning)

No
The device description focuses on resistive heating, temperature monitoring, and fault detection based on predefined thresholds, with no mention of learning, adaptation, or complex pattern recognition characteristic of AI/ML.

Therapeutic

No.
The device warms fluids for administration and monitors temperature and flow, but it does not directly treat a disease or condition in a patient. Its function is supportive, not therapeutic.

Diagnostic

No

The device is a fluid warmer, intended to warm blood, blood products, and intravenous solutions. It monitors fluid temperature and internal fault conditions but does not diagnose medical conditions.

SaMD (Software as a Medical Device)

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of three hardware components: a heater unit, a power module, and a single-use disposable heat exchanger set. It also describes the physical mechanism of heating (resistive heating of plates).

IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)

Based on the provided information, the Belmont buddy plus™ Fluid Warmer is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

• IVD devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body. The buddy plus™ Fluid Warmer is used to warm fluids (blood, blood products, and intravenous solutions) before they are administered to the patient. It does not analyze or test any biological samples.
• The intended use clearly states it's for warming fluids prior to administration. This is a therapeutic or supportive function, not a diagnostic one.
• The device description focuses on the mechanics of warming and monitoring fluid temperature and flow. There is no mention of analyzing biological markers or performing any diagnostic tests.

Therefore, the buddy plus™ Fluid Warmer falls under the category of medical devices used for patient care, but not specifically as an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Nonclinical Tests and Results 11.

In order to verify performance of the Belmont buddy plus™ Fluid Warmer in support of substantial equivalence, the following tests were carried out:

• Verify the ability of the system to warm cold fluids to physiological a. temperature.
• Verify the ability of the system to protect the patient and to detect and alarm b. at unsafe or ineffective operating conditions.
• Conclusion: The modified Belmont buddy plus™ Fluid Warmer Blood/Fluid 12. Warmer is substantially equivalent to the buddy™ Fluid Warmer which received 510(k) approval on July 2, 2003. Both systems have the same intended use, and are capable of heating blood products or intravenous fluids to physiological temperature. Both systems perform as intended according to the specifications of the device.
