2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The document describes non-clinical performance testing primarily to demonstrate physical and functional specifications.

  • Sample Size for Performance Testing:
    • For testing with the Standard 2.0 program card: Six pumps were used (three with each of the two approved motor types).
    • For testing with the Preemie+ program card: One pump of each motor type was used (total of 2 pumps).
    • Additional tests (battery operation, varying input voltages, different breast shield sizes, single pumping) were conducted, but specific sample sizes for these sub-tests are not explicitly stated beyond implying they were performed on the tested pumps.
  • Data Provenance: The tests are non-clinical, laboratory-based performance tests, likely conducted at the manufacturer's facilities in Switzerland (Medela AG is based in Baar, Switzerland). The data is prospective in the sense that it was generated specifically for this 510(k) submission to demonstrate compliance with specifications.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

This information is not applicable in the context of this 510(k) summary for a powered breast pump. The "ground truth" for the performance tests (e.g., vacuum levels, cycle rates, battery life) is established by direct measurement against engineering specifications and industry standards, not by expert consensus or interpretation of complex medical imagery/data.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not applicable. Adjudication methods (like 2+1 or 3+1) are typically used in clinical studies for diagnostic devices where human reader interpretations are being assessed against a consensus ground truth. For performance testing of a physical device like a breast pump, measurements are objective and directly compared to specifications.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. The document explicitly states: "Clinical testing was not required to demonstrate the substantial equivalence of the Symphony breast pump to its predicate device." Therefore, there is no mention of human readers, AI assistance, or effect size improvements related to such a study.

6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

This concept is not applicable to this device. The Medela Symphony Breast Pump is a mechanical device with integrated software for controlling its operation (e.g., 2-Phase Expression, Preemie+ program). It does not involve "algorithms only" or "AI" in the sense of a standalone diagnostic or predictive algorithm being evaluated independently. The software is integral to the device's function, and its performance is assessed as part of the overall device performance (e.g., ensuring correct vacuum and cycle rates as programmed).

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for the device's technical performance is based on:

  • Engineering Specifications: Defined vacuum ranges, cycle speeds, and battery life.
  • Voluntary Standards: Compliance with electrical safety (IEC 60601-1), EMC (IEC 60601-1-2), home use safety (IEC 60601-1-11), and suction equipment performance (EN ISO 10079-1).
  • Regulatory Guidance: Adherence to FDA guidance for sterility, biocompatibility, and software validation.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This information is not applicable. The Medela Symphony Breast Pump is a traditional electromechanical medical device. It does not use "training sets" in the context of machine learning or artificial intelligence. Its software is programmed based on predefined algorithms and fixed parameters and validated through traditional software verification and validation, not through learning from data like an AI model.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

This information is not applicable for the same reasons as point 8.

PREDICATE DEVICE(S):

K020518 Medela Symphony Breast Pump Model 024

DEVICE DESCRIPTION:

The Symphony breast pump is intended to be used by lactating women to express and collect milk from their breasts. The pumping can be performed on one breast (single pumping) or on both breasts at the same time (double pumping). The Symphony breast pump is a multi-user breast pump and therefore, designed for a safe and hygienic use by different mothers.

The Symphony breast pump employs a control knob for the user to adjust the applied vacuum. The suction patterns are programmed with either constant or variable cycles (pump speed). The Symphony breast pump is capable of providing vacuum levels from -50 to -250 mmHg with cycling rates up to 120 cycles per minute.

The Symphony® breast pump provides the following user features:

  • Belt-driven vacuum pump design, for quiet operation.
  • . Portable or trolley-mounted transport/operation options.
  • LCD display, for user assistance/device status.
  • Control knob, for user adjustment of vacuum level/pump speed.
  • . 2-Phase Expression® Technology designed to mimic a baby's natural nursing rhythm:
    • . Stimulation Phase (phase 1): Suction pattern with fast cycles and low vacuum to start milk flowing
    • . Expression Phase (phase 2): Suction pattern with slower cycles and higher vacuum to express more milk gently and efficiently.
  • Symphony program card with the initiation program (Preemie+) software. The Preemie+ program contains stimulation and expression phases with breast pump suction patterns which assist pump users in the initiation of milk production. The Preemie+ program mimics the irregular sucking pattern of healthy term infants right after birth.
  • Symphony program card with the "Standard" pumping program software. The Standard program contains stimulation and expression phases with breast pump suction patterns which assist users in coming to volume, and/or maintenance of lactation. The Standard program imitates a breastfeeding baby during established lactation.
  • "Let-down" control button to change between stimulation phase and expression phase.
  • Option of either single or double breast pumping.

{6}------------------------------------------------

  • Disposable protective membrane, designed to isolate the pump mechanism from the breast milk collection apparatus (prevent milk overflow into the pump). No vacuum can be created if the protective membrane is missing or damaged.
  • User-friendly pump exterior, designed for ease of cleaning.
  • A variety of accessories and breast pump kits.

INDICATIONS FOR USE:

The Symphony breast pump is a powered breast pump to be used by lactating women to express and collect milk from their breast.

SUMMARY OF NON-CLINICAL TESTS:

The Symphony breast pump complies with voluntary standards for electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, use in the home healthcare environment and powered suction pumps. The following data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination:

  • . Risk Analysis developed in accordance with ISO 14971: 2007.
  • . Sterilization information in accordance with FDA's guidance document "Submission and Review of Sterility Information in Premarket Notification (510(k)) Submissions for Devices Labeled as Sterile".

{10}------------------------------------------------

  • . Cleaning Validation. Validation of cleaning methods, both manual cleaning with dish soap and cleaning in the dishwasher, and validation of the sanitation process with boiling water and the quick clean™ micro-steam™ bags were conducted. A selection of reusable breast pump kit components that contact breast milk representative of all Medela breast pump components, including those specified for use with Symphony, were challenged with a human breast milk solution containing organisms, cleaned, or sanitized according to the Instructions for Use and evaluated for the presence of surviving organisms. The validation protocol was based upon AAMI TIR30-2003, A Compendium of Processes, Materials, Test Methods, and Acceptance Criteria for Cleaning Reusable Medical Devices, 8 October 2003.
  • . For sterile items, accelerated aging tests to support the labeled shelf life were conducted according to ASTM F1980 (07) Standard Guide for Accelerated Aging of Sterile Barrier Systems for Medical Devices. Testing was also conducted to verify drive unit life time in support of the breast pump service life specification.
  • . Biocompatibility Evaluation was completed according to the FDA guidance "Use of International Standard ISO- 10993, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing" and concluded that no new testing was required as all patient contacting materials are identical to those used in the predicate Symphony Breast Pump.
  • . Software verification and validation testing were conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices." The software for this device was considered as a "moderate" level of concern, since prior to mitigations of hazards, failure of the software could lead to minor injury, such as pain or engorgement.
  • . Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility testing per IEC 60601-1:2005 (3rd Edition) with US deviations per AAMI/ANSI ES60601-1:2005/(R)2012 and A1:2012 standard and IEC 60601-1-2: 2007 standards, respectively
  • . Safety testing for use in the home per IEC 60601-1-11: 2010 standard
  • . Performance testing demonstrating compliance with EN ISO 10079-1: 2009 Particular requirements for the safety of electrically powered suction equipment
  • . Performance testing at minimum and maximum vacuum settings to determine the minimum and maximum vacuum levels of the pump as compared to its specifications, which are identical to those of the predicate version of the Symphony pump. Tests were conducted over 20 minutes with the Standard 2.0 program card or 15 minutes with the Preemie+ program card to simulate a typical pumping session using size medium (M) breast shields. Tests began in stimulation mode and continued with expression mode after the first two minutes. There are two approved suppliers of the motor for the Symphony® breast pump. Testing of six pumps was completed with the Standard 2.0 program card, using three pumps with each motor type. One of each pump type was used for testing with the Preemie+ program card. Vacuum performance during normal use was first evaluated and demonstrated that, independent of the pump

{11}------------------------------------------------

motor type, the specification for vacuum level and cycle rate is met. Additional test cases evaluated performance of the pump when running on battery, performance with varying input voltages and with the other size breast shields. Finally, testing of performance for single pumping was completed. Results demonstrated that independent of the pump motor type, the specification for battery operation time is met, that the specification for vacuum level and cycle rate is met in single pumping mode as well as with all power source and with varying input voltage. With different breast shield sizes, the specification for the maximum vacuum level is met.

SUMMARY OF CLINICAL TESTS:

Clinical testing was not required to demonstrate the substantial equivalence of the Symphony breast pump to its predicate device. However, published research studies are referenced to support marketing claims.

CONCLUSION:

The differences between the Symphony breast pump and its predicate device do not introduce a new intended use and do not raise new issues of safety and effectiveness. Verification and Validation testing demonstrated that no adverse effects have been introduced by these differences and that the device performs as intended.

From the results of nonclinical testing described, Medela AG concludes that the Symphony breast pump is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device.
