The summary describes a computer-controlled electro-mechanical device with software for fluid movement and monitoring, but there is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like training/test sets, image processing, or specific performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML algorithms. The modifications focus on hardware (bag size) and data management enhancements within existing specifications.
Yes
The device is indicated for "Automated Peritoneal Dialysis (APD) therapy for the treatment of end-stage renal disease (ESRD)," which is a therapeutic treatment.
No
The device description indicates it is a treatment device (peritoneal dialysis cycler) that delivers fluid and monitors drained volume, not a device that diagnoses a condition.
No
The device description explicitly states it is an "electro-mechanical medical device" and describes hardware components like pumping action, heating, and fluid measurement, indicating it is not software-only.
Based on the provided information, the Fresenius Liberty Cycler is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "acute and chronic peritoneal dialysis." This is a therapeutic treatment performed directly on the patient, not a test performed on a sample taken from the patient.
- Device Description: The description details a device that "heats the peritoneal dialysate solution," "measures and delivers a pre-determined amount of fluid to the user," and "monitors the drained volume from the user." These are all actions related to delivering and managing a treatment within the patient's body (peritoneal cavity).
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.
IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The Liberty Cycler's function is to perform a therapeutic procedure.

Device Description
The Liberty Cycler is a computer-controlled electro-mechanical medical device designed for use in Automated Peritoneal Dialysis (APD) therapy for the treatment of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The Liberty Cycler design incorporates software-controlled pumping action for fluid movement. The Liberty Cycler heats the peritoneal dialysate solution prior to user infusion, measures and delivers a pre-determined amount of fluid to the user and monitors the drained volume from the user.
The Liberty Cycler is designed as a table-top unit and is prescribed in both professional and home treatment settings.
Modifications to the predicate Liberty Cycler include changes to the performance specifications to allow use of a 6-liter dialysate solution bag. The Liberty Cycler can now accommodate a 1 to 6-liter dialysate solution bag configuration. Additional modifications are included in this submission which are intended to enhance performance and data management within predicate specifications.

§ 876.5630 Peritoneal dialysis system and accessories.
(a)
Identification. (1) A peritoneal dialysis system and accessories is a device that is used as an artificial kidney system for the treatment of patients with renal failure or toxemic conditions, and that consists of a peritoneal access device, an administration set for peritoneal dialysis, a source of dialysate, and, in some cases, a water purification mechanism. After the dialysate is instilled into the patient's peritoneal cavity, it is allowed to dwell there so that undesirable substances from the patient's blood pass through the lining membrane of the peritoneal cavity into this dialysate. These substances are then removed when the dialysate is drained from the patient. The peritoneal dialysis system may regulate and monitor the dialysate temperature, volume, and delivery rate together with the time course of each cycle of filling, dwell time, and draining of the peritoneal cavity or manual controls may be used. This generic device includes the semiautomatic and the automatic peritoneal delivery system.(2) The peritoneal access device is a flexible tube that is implanted through the abdominal wall into the peritoneal cavity and that may have attached cuffs to provide anchoring and a skin seal. The device is either a single use peritioneal catheter, intended to remain in the peritoneal cavity for less than 30 days, or a long term peritoneal catheter. Accessories include stylets and trocars to aid in the insertion of the catheter and an obturator to maintain the patency of the surgical fistula in the abdominal wall between treatments.
(3) The disposable administration set for peritoneal dialysis consists of tubing, an optional reservoir bag, and appropriate connectors. It may include a peritoneal dialysate filter to trap and remove contaminating particles.
(4) The source of dialysate may be sterile prepackaged dialysate (for semiautomatic peritoneal dialysate delivery systems or “cycler systems”) or dialysate prepared from dialysate concentrate and sterile purified water (for automatic peritoneal dialysate delivery systems or “reverse osmosis” systems). Prepackaged dialysate intended for use with either of the peritoneal dialysate delivery systems is regulated by FDA as a drug.
(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The following accessories are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9: A catheter finger grip that is non-patient contacting and intended for single use with a peritoneal catheter; a continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) belt; and a catheter stand that does not include weigh scales.
