Device Description
Fluid Level Monitor is a passive sensing device that alarms when the infusion fluid level is low. Fluid Level Monitor provides both visual and audible alarms when preset condition is met. Fluid Level Monitor operates on DC power source. Fluid Level Monitor includes both main control unit and external sensor. There are status LEDs on the main control unit to display run, alarm and battery-low status. There is a buzzer on the main control unit to provide audible alarm. The external sensor is connected to the main control unit via shielded signal cable. The sensor can be clipped on the tubing to monitor fluid level.

No
The description focuses on passive sensing and preset conditions for alarming, with no mention of learning, adaptation, or complex data analysis typically associated with AI/ML.

No
The device is a passive sensing device that monitors fluid levels and provides alarms. It does not directly treat or diagnose any medical condition, it merely monitors a situation to improve efficiency in a medical setting.

No

The device is described as a "passive sensing device that alarms when the infusion fluid is low." Its purpose is to monitor fluid levels during infusion and alert healthcare personnel, rather than to diagnose a medical condition or disease.

No

The device description explicitly states that the Fluid Level Monitor includes both a main control unit and an external sensor, indicating hardware components beyond just software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Fluid Level Monitor is a passive sensing device that monitors the fluid level in an infusion system. It provides an alarm when the fluid level is low.
  • Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: The device does not analyze any biological samples from a patient. It interacts with the infusion tubing and the fluid within it, but not with the patient's body or any samples taken from it.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to monitor fluid levels in gravity flow infusions to improve efficiency in a healthcare setting by alerting personnel to low fluid levels. This is a monitoring function related to the delivery of a substance, not a diagnostic test on a patient sample.

Therefore, the Fluid Level Monitor falls under the category of a medical device, but not specifically an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

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

Based on the risk analysis, the verification and validation tests that were performed and the acceptance criteria applied for each are listed in Section 18. Performance testing was conducted to confirm compliance to design specifications; all functions were verified to operate as designed.

The performance test data demonstrated that the system power consumption remains same when using:

  • a) DC battery or DC plug-in power
  • b) 1-channel or 5-channel sensing

We concluded that the design difference on number of monitoring points does not raise safety or effectiveness concerns.
