Intended Use
ACCU-CHEK® FlexLink Plus is an infusion set for the subcutaneous infusion of insulin administered with micro dosage insulin pumps. ACCU-CHEK® LinkAssist Plus is an insertion device, which is intended specifically for placement of compatible ACCU-CHEK® FlexLink Plus infusion sets.
Device Description
The ACCU-CHEK® FlexLink Plus is a disconnectable infusion set with soft cannula perpendicular to the adhesive, for transfusion of insulin into the subcutaneous tissue. The unit is designed to interface with commercially available insulin infusion pumps with suitable connections. The insulin infusion pump systems are designed to control the delivery of insulin as prescribed by a health care professional. The system (infusion set, insulin infusion pump, and insulin) is indicated for patients with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. The ACCU-CHEK® LinkAssist Plus is an insertion aid for automatic application of ACCU-CHEK® infusion sets equipped with a compatible adapter. The ACCU-CHEK® LinkAssist device is non-invasive, non-sterile and intended for multiple uses by the same patient.

No
The summary describes a mechanical infusion set and an insertion device. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any computational decision-making or data analysis that would suggest the use of these technologies. The testing described is functional and usability testing, not performance evaluation of an algorithm.

Yes
The device, an infusion set, is used for the subcutaneous infusion of insulin for patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, which is a therapeutic treatment.

No

The device is an infusion set and insertion aid for administering insulin, not for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is an "infusion set" and an "insertion device," which are physical hardware components used for delivering insulin.

Based on the provided information, the ACCU-CHEK® FlexLink Plus and ACCU-CHEK® LinkAssist Plus devices are not IVDs (In Vitro Diagnostics).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the subcutaneous infusion of insulin and the insertion of the infusion set. This is a direct interaction with the patient's body for therapeutic delivery, not for examining specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical components and their function in delivering insulin into the subcutaneous tissue. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing blood, urine, or other bodily fluids.
    • Providing diagnostic information.
    • Performing tests on specimens outside the body.

These devices are classified as medical devices for drug delivery and insertion, not for in vitro diagnostic purposes.

§ 880.5725 Infusion pump.

(a)
Identification. An infusion pump is a device used in a health care facility to pump fluids into a patient in a controlled manner. The device may use a piston pump, a roller pump, or a peristaltic pump and may be powered electrically or mechanically. The device may also operate using a constant force to propel the fluid through a narrow tube which determines the flow rate. The device may include means to detect a fault condition, such as air in, or blockage of, the infusion line and to activate an alarm.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

510(k) Summary, Continued

The ACCU-CHEK® FlexLink Plus infusion set was compared to the ACCU-Device CHEK® Ultraflex infusion set. The ACCU-CHEK® FlexLink Plus is Comparisons substantially equivalent to this product by having the same intended use, same storage conditions, same luer connector, same operating conditions, a flexible catheter and needle for insertion into the subcutaneous tissue and separate extension tubing with detachable connector. Both sets have an adhesive patch that secures the headset to the skin. Prior to infusion, both sets require removal of the introducer needle. The ACCU-CHEK® FlexLink Plus incorporates a needle protection feature that retracts the needle automatically following insertion of the needle and cannula. The optional ACCU-CHEK® LinkAssist Plus insertion device was compared to the optional ACCU-CHEK® LinkAssist insertion device. The ACCU-CHEK® FlexLink Plus is substantially equivalent to this product by having the same intended use, same storage conditions, same operating conditions, and same general functionality. The overall dimensions of the ACCU-CHEK® FlexLink Plus are slightly wider and longer than the ACCU-CHEK® FlexLink device. Both devices include a safety catch; the ACCU-CHEK® FlexLink Plus incorporates the safety catch in the base of the device

such that it is depressed when placing the device into position on the body.
