Device Description
The NUK Expressive Double Electric Breast Pump is intended to express milk from the breasts. It is intended for use by a single user. This is accomplished by an electrical pump system generating a suck and release vacuum pattern. The suction strength is adjustable. The cycles per minute are adjustable. The electrical pumping unit of the device is connected to the breast shields via silicone tubing. The breast shield and screw housing is equipped with a flap valve separating the breast shield from the NUK breast milk container. The system is assembled in an airtight way to ensure that the system can build up vacuum when the breast shield is connected to the breast. The milk will flow through the flap back flow valve into the bottle. A voltage adaptor is provided with the device.

No
The 510(k) summary describes a standard electric breast pump with adjustable suction and cycle speed. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in the device description, performance studies, or key metrics. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" and "Mentions image processing" fields are explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No.
A breast pump, while used for health-related purposes (expressing milk for infant feeding), is generally considered a supportive device rather than a therapeutic one that treats or prevents a disease, injury, or other medical condition. Its primary function is to facilitate a natural biological process.

No

Explanation: The device description states its purpose is to "express milk from the breasts" and it functions as an "electrical pump system generating a suck and release vacuum pattern." There is no mention of analysis, diagnosis, detection, or monitoring of any medical condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like an electrical pump system, tubing, breast shields, flap valve, and a voltage adaptor, indicating it is a hardware device with electrical and mechanical components, not software-only.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body.
  • Device Function: The NUK Expressive Double Electric Breast Pump is designed to physically extract milk from the breast. It does not perform any tests on biological samples to diagnose or monitor a medical condition.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is clearly stated as "to express milk from the breasts." This is a mechanical function, not a diagnostic one.

The description focuses on the mechanical operation of the pump, the vacuum system, and safety testing related to electrical and biocompatibility standards, all of which are typical for a medical device that interacts with the body but is not an IVD.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The NUK device verification testing under the company's Design Control Process has confirmed the device's conformance with specifications. Suction pressure was tested and recorded to verify that the NUK Expressive Double Electric Breast Pump was equivalent to the predicate device using both single and double pumping options. All tissue contact components were tested for biocompatibility according to ISO 10993. The device was also tested for electrical safety testing according to IEC 60601-1. The specifications do not include any significant differences from those of the predicates.
