The document describes a suction device with a microprocessor for battery management and mentions modifications to the physical design. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets for training or testing.
Yes.
The device is intended for the aspiration of secretions and body fluids from wounds to promote wound healing, which is a therapeutic purpose.
No
The device is a suction device intended for aspiration of secretions and body fluids from wounds, promoting wound healing. It does not perform any diagnostic function.
No
The device description explicitly mentions hardware components such as a rechargeable battery, a microprocessor controlled electronic battery charging unit, and an outer case. The 510(k) submission also details modifications to the outer case dimensions, carrying handle ergonomics, canister bracket, and internal component reconfiguration, all of which are hardware-related.
Based on the provided information, the Whisper Pump System™ is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to aspirate secretions and body fluids from wounds for wound drainage and potentially promoting wound healing. This is a therapeutic/surgical function, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the mechanical function of suction and fluid removal. There is no mention of analyzing or testing the collected fluids for diagnostic purposes.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are typically used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The Whisper Pump System™ operates in vivo (on the body) to remove fluids.
Therefore, the Whisper Pump System™ is a medical device used for wound management, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Whisper Pump System™ is a device to remove bodily fluids for wound drainage and can be used by patients over an extended period of time as recommended by a physician. The device has a rechargeable battery and therefore is portable. A microprocessor controlled electronic battery charging unit in the suction device guarantees the safe charging of the battery, and overcharging of the battery. The Whisper Pump System™ itself is not a sterile device but can use disposable (sterile) items from other manufacturers but these items are not a part of the Whisper Pump System™, (e.g. various hose sets, containers, trocars and catheters) which have been designed for the wound drainage.
The purpose of this traditional 510(k) was to modify the outer case dimensions, carrying handle ergonomics, canister bracket, and internal component reconfiguration.

Technoloqical Characteristics:
The Whisper Pump System™ is a small suction unit. The device is operated by an electromotive membrane pump which is maintenance-free. When it operates, the pump creates a vacuum in the hose system and in the collection jar, with the help of which secretions can be sucked off through the set of hoses. The pump switches off after creation of the vacuum and then switches on again when the vacuum lies below a certain value.
The secretion is collected in a collection jar. A hydrophobic bacterial filter prevents the secretion being inadvertently drawn into the pump head. The device is fitted with a rechargeable battery. A microprocessor controlled electronic charging unit in the suction device guarantees the safe
7
charging of the battery, and thus overcharging of the battery is avoided. The electronic unit prevents overheating of the suction device by a high temperature switch. For the mobile use a carrying strap is available. Useful accessories are a shoulder bag and a device support.
The Whisper Pump System™ is substantially equivalent to other legally marketed devices in the United States and functions in a manner similar and is intended for the same use as the predicate device.

Performance Testing: The risk analysis demonstrates the Whisper Pump System™ is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. The purpose of this 510(k) was to modify the external plastic shell dimensions to reduce the size of the pump. Performance testing involved comparing the device to the predicate device for radiated emission, electrostatic discharge immunity, and thermal protection following IEC60601-1-2 (2014). Previous testing performed on the device is listed below.
A software verification test and product validation test was performed and meet the acceptance criterion. The Whisper Pump System™ have been designed and tested to applicable safety standards (see next page) and does not raise any new issues of safety, efficacy, or performance of the product.
