Intended Use
The enFlow IV Fluid Warmer System is indicated for warming blood, blood products and intravenous solutions prior to administration. It is intended to be used by healthcare professionals in hospital, clinical and field environments to help prevent hypothermia.
Device Description
The Vital Signs, Inc. enFlow IV Fluid Warmer consists of a Warmer, Controller (Power Supply) and single use sterile disposable cartridges, which are available with or without an IV tube extension set. The warmer will deliver infusate to a patient at a temperature of up to 40°C at flow rates of KVO (Keep vein open) to a maximum of 200ml/min. The sterile disposable cartridges consist of a plastic housing and biocompatible coated aluminum extrusion which when combined form an enclosed fluid path. Heat, generated by electrical resistance, is transferred from the warmer to the fluid through the extrusion. Standard Luer fittings at the input and output allow the connection of standard hospital IV lines to the enclosed fluid path. The Controller serves as the power supply for the Warmer unit. The basis for this submission is to notify the FDA of the addition of a Warmer Strap to the enFlow IV Fluid Warmer. The Strap is an accessory whose function is to secure the enflow IV Fluid Warmer to the arm.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the physical components and heating mechanism of the device, with no mention of AI or ML technologies. The modification described is an accessory strap.

Yes
The device is intended to prevent hypothermia by warming intravenous fluids, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No
The device is an IV fluid warmer, intended to prevent hypothermia by warming fluids. It does not diagnose any condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components including a Warmer, Controller (Power Supply), and disposable cartridges, which are physical components, not software. The submission also mentions the addition of a physical accessory, a Warmer Strap.

Based on the provided information, the enFlow IV Fluid Warmer System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to warm blood, blood products, and intravenous solutions prior to administration to a patient. This is a therapeutic or supportive function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device description focuses on the mechanism of warming fluids and delivering them to the patient. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not include any elements typically associated with IVD devices, such as:
    • Analysis of biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detection or measurement of analytes
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening

The enFlow IV Fluid Warmer System is a medical device used to prepare fluids for administration to a patient, primarily to prevent hypothermia. This falls under the category of devices used in patient care and treatment, not in vitro diagnosis.

§ 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).
