Intended Use
The INFU Box is indicated for the regulation of temperature of intravenous (IV) fluid bags prior to administration. The device is intended for bags with crystalloid fluids only. Intended users are health care professionals. The device is intended for use in clinical and field environments and is intended to be mounted in a ground based field operating vehicle, such as ambulance or military vehicle.
Device Description
The INFU box warmer device is electronically regulated to obtain and maintain a preset temperature. Electronically controlled Peltier elements are used to produce a temperature difference between an internal and external airflow. The device uses environmental air to regulate the temperature. It is designed to maintain three 1000 ml IV liquid bags. The main system is powered by a 12 V DC source.

No
The summary describes a device that uses electronic regulation and Peltier elements for temperature control, with no mention of AI or ML terms, data sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML.

No

The device is indicated for the regulation of temperature of intravenous (IV) fluid bags prior to administration, not for direct therapeutic treatment of a patient. Its function is to prepare fluids, not administer therapy.

No
The device is described as an "IV warmer device" intended for regulating the temperature of IV fluid bags, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly mentions hardware components like Peltier elements and a 12V DC power source, indicating it is a physical device with electronic controls, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to regulate the temperature of intravenous (IV) fluid bags prior to administration. This is a physical manipulation of a substance that will be introduced into the body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The device description focuses on the mechanism for heating IV fluids (Peltier elements, airflow, temperature regulation). This aligns with a device that prepares a substance for administration, not one that analyzes a biological sample.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring analytes
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions
    • Using reagents or assays

The INFU Box is a medical device, but its function is related to the preparation and administration of fluids, not to in vitro diagnostic testing.

§ 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).

Description of Device 5.7

The INFU box warmer device is electronically regulated to obtain and maintain a preset temperature. Electronically controlled Peltier elements are used to produce a temperature difference between an internal and external airflow. The device uses environmental air to regulate the temperature. It is designed to maintain three 1000 ml IV liquid bags. The main system is powered by a 12 V DC source.

The device meets the applicable requirements of IEC 60601-1-1, IEC 60601-1-2 and SS-EN 1789:2007.

Comparison with Legally Marketed Predicate Devices 5.8

The INFU Box is similar to the predicate devices in that:

  • The systems are intended for the warming of IV fluids prior to administration, and 1. intended users are designated to be healthcare professionals.
    1. The systems use electronically temperature regulation for IV liquids, just as INFU Box.
    1. The systems are intended for field and clinical applications.
    1. The systems provides with alarms for over-temp.

The INFU Box differs from the predicate devices in that:

    1. The Bair Hugger can also operate with blood products, and is an "in-line" warming system. The INFU Box is not intended to provide this feature.
    1. INFU Box is intended to be mounted in a ground based vehicle or hospital/ nursing centre, why mechanical robustness and portability demands are different on this product.

2

To support information of substantial equivalence and to follow up risk management, a number of bench tests have been performed. These tests give evidence to the fact that the INFU Box device indeed is safe and effective in providing with a regulation of the temperature of IV fluid bags prior to administration.

5.9 Conclusion

The INFU Box device is substantially equivalent to the identified legally marketed devices intended for use in warming IV bags containing crystalloid fluids bags, using conduction from an external electronic component.

The potential hazards have been studied and controlled as a part of the product development process, including risk analysis, test and design consideration, and planned verification and validation testing processes. The INFU Box is intended for use in clinical and field environments comparable to the predicate devices.

Based on a comparison of the performance characteristics and the results from the tests, it is concluded that the INFU Box is substantial equivalent to the predicate devices and therefore safe and effective for its intended use.

Dear Mr. Fangberget:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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.
