The document describes a standard insulin pump with a focus on mechanical and software control for insulin delivery, and modifications to the cartridge. There is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The control of insulin delivery is explicitly stated as being programmed by the user.
Yes.
Explanation: The device is indicated for the subcutaneous delivery of insulin for the management of diabetes mellitus, which is a therapeutic intervention.
No
The device is an insulin delivery system, indicated for the subcutaneous delivery of insulin, which is a treatment for diabetes mellitus. It does not diagnose any condition.
No
The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including an insulin infusion pump, a disposable insulin cartridge, an infusion set, syringes, needles, and an AC power supply. While the pump is software-controlled, the system is not solely software.
Based on the provided text, the t:slim™ Insulin Delivery System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
- t:slim System Function: The t:slim System is an insulin delivery system. Its primary function is to deliver insulin subcutaneously to manage diabetes. It does not analyze specimens from the body to provide diagnostic information.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "for the subcutaneous delivery of insulin... for the management of diabetes mellitus". This describes a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the mechanical and software components involved in insulin delivery (pump, cartridge, infusion set, etc.). There is no mention of components or processes related to analyzing biological specimens.
Therefore, the t:slim™ Insulin Delivery System falls under the category of a therapeutic device, specifically an insulin pump, rather than an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The t:slim™ Insulin Delivery System is intended for the subcutaneous delivery of insulin, at set and variable rates, for the management of diabetes mellitus in persons requiring insulin. The scope of this Special 510(k) is limited to changes to the cartridge configuration of the t:slim System.
The t:slim System with the modified cartridge, like the predicate device, consists of the following components and accessories:
-
- a software-controlled, programmable insulin infusion pump ("t:slim Pump" or "Pump"),
-
- a dedicated, disposable 3mL (300 unit) insulin cartridge ("cartridge");
-
- an UnoMedical Comfort™ Infusion Set (K051264), or an equivalently FDA cleared infusion set ("infusion set"); and
-
- accessories, including a Becton Dickenson 3mL sterile syringe and 26 gauge sterile needle, or equivalently cleared syringe and needle, as well as an AC power supply with USB for charging the Pump's internal battery, cartridge Instructions for Use, and User's Guide.
The t:slim Pump is a battery operated infusion pump capable of both basal and bolus delivery of insulin. It utilizes a motor-driven mechanism to deliver insulin from within a disposable cartridge. through an infusion set, into a patient's subcutaneous tissue. As with current insulin infusion pumps on the U.S. market, the desired timing and quantity of the insulin delivery is programmed by the user (i.e., the patient). The graphical user interface (GUI) of the t:slim Pump is a capacitive touch screen that displays information used to control the t:slim System. The delivery of insulin is accomplished through a micro-syringe within the head of the cartridge.
The t:slim cartridge is a single-use device, individually packaged and sealed, and provided sterile. The cartridge attaches to the t:slim Pump and is designed to hold up to 3 mL, or 300 units, of insulin. The delivery of insulin is accomplished through a micro-syringe within the head of the cartridge. The Pump has a pressure measurement sensor to estimate the volume of insulin in the insulin reservoir by measuring air pressure in the cartridge. This information is used to provide feedback to the software to determine the insulin volume, detect occlusions and cartridge removal.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Verification and qualification testing was performed based on an evaluation of risks for the type of change involved. All the changes made to the cartridge were assessed to make sure all the risks were mitigated (e.g., the infusion flow accuracy, fill volume accuracy, leakage, bond strength and tubing integrity, shelf life, biocompatibility, insulin compatibility etc.,) and that no new risks were introduced as a result of these modifications. Material changes were supported by selection of medical grade materials, confirmation of biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993-1, repeated cytotoxicity testing, and leachables evaluation. Cartridge material changes were also evaluated by specific performance tests to confirm suitability of the material in the production process through various installation, operational and performance qualification tests (IQ/OQ/PQ), and product inspection and release 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)

Technological Characteristics
The t:slim Insulin Delivery System with modified cartridge has the same technological characteristics as the predicate device. The t:slim System consists of: (1) a software-controlled, programmable insulin infusion pump capable of both basal and bolus delivery of insulin ("t:slim Pump"); (2) a dedicated disposable 3mL (300 unit) insulin cartridge; (3) UnoMedical's Comfort™ Infusion Set (K051264), or an equivalently cleared set; and (4) additional device accessories including a sterile syringe and needle (for cartridge filling) and AC power supply with USB. The material changes were qualified per original device specifications and were shown to meet design requirements.
Performance Data
Verification and qualification testing was performed based on an evaluation of risks for the type of change involved. All the changes made to the cartridge were assessed to make sure all the risks were mitigated (e.g., the infusion flow accuracy, fill volume accuracy, leakage, bond strength and tubing integrity, shelf life, biocompatibility, insulin compatibility etc.,) and that no new risks were introduced as a result of these modifications.

process through various installation, operational and performance qualification tests (IQ/OQ/PQ), and product inspection and release testing. Completed testing to support substantial equivalence determination include:
- Extractable and Leachables testing .
- Chemical composition comparison (FTIR) .
- Patient line bond strength testing .
- Cartridge Pressure/leak testing �
- Package seal integrity testing ◆
- . Production IQ/OQ/PQ
- Infusion flow accuracy .
- Fill volume accuracy .
- Biocompatibility tests .
- Insulin Compatibility .
Substantial Equivalence
The t:slim System with modified cartridge has the same intended use and indications for use, the same principles of operation, and same technological characteristics as the previously cleared predicate t:slim System. The purpose of this Special 510(k) is to update the materials used in the construction of the disposable cartridge and storage pouch. The verification and process qualification testing confirms that these changes meet the original product specifications. Thus, the proposed t:slim System is substantially equivalent to its predicate.
