Intended Use
For the administration of fluids from a container into the patient's epidural space with Baxter infusion pumps.
Device Description
The Solution Set for Epidural Use is a single use disposable device intended for the administration of fluids from a container into the epidural space. The set is used for epidural infusions of fluids (typically analgesic or anesthetic) as an intermittent or continuous infusion to reduce chronic or post-operative pain. The set consists of a nonvented spike, 60 drops per mL drip chamber, minidrip adapter, tubing, fixtured slide clamp, on-off roller clamp, and a male epidural lock connector. The connector is compliant to the provisional AAMI/CN6:2015 Small-bore connectors for liquids and gases in healthcare applications - Part 6: Connectors for neuraxial applications.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and material properties of a disposable fluid administration set, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes.
This device is used for the administration of fluids into the epidural space to reduce pain, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No

Explanation: The device is a solution set for administering fluids into the epidural space, typically for pain management. Its function is to deliver substances, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a spike, drip chamber, tubing, clamps, and a connector, and the performance studies focus on the physical and functional characteristics of these hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "For the administration of fluids from a container into the patient's epidural space with Baxter infusion pumps." This describes a device used for delivering substances into the body, not for testing samples from the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a set of components for fluid administration (spike, drip chamber, tubing, clamps, connector). This aligns with a medical device used for therapy or delivery, not for diagnostic testing.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or to provide information for diagnosis.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the functional aspects of fluid delivery and safety (flow rate, occlusion, strength, biocompatibility, sterility), not on diagnostic accuracy or analytical performance.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device does not fit that description.

§ 880.5440 Intravascular administration set.

(a)
Identification. An intravascular administration set is a device used to administer fluids from a container to a patient's vascular system through a needle or catheter inserted into a vein. The device may include the needle or catheter, tubing, a flow regulator, a drip chamber, an infusion line filter, an I.V. set stopcock, fluid delivery tubing, connectors between parts of the set, a side tube with a cap to serve as an injection site, and a hollow spike to penetrate and connect the tubing to an I.V. bag or other infusion fluid container.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for pharmacy compounding systems within this classification is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Pharmacy Compounding Systems; Final Guidance for Industry and FDA Reviewers.” Pharmacy compounding systems classified within the intravascular administration set are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of this part and subject to the limitations in § 880.9.

| Drip Chamber | N/A | Polyvinyl Chloride | The predicate device does not have a drip chamber. A drip chamber is included on the proposed device for the end user to verify drops are falling within the drip chamber. Design control activities confirmed there was no impact to the safety or effectiveness of the device due to this change. |
| Minidrip Adapter | N/A | Synthetic Polyisoprene and
Stainless Steel | The predicate device does not have minidrip adapter. A minidrip adapter is included on the proposed device to allow more accurate visibility of drops falling, since epidural infusion tends to be towards the lower side of infusion rates. Design control activities confirmed there was no impact to the safety or effectiveness of the device due to this change. |
| Tubing | Silicone and Polyvinyl Chloride | Polyvinyl Chloride | The predicate device is used with a Bard pump and has a separate tubing segment made of silicone that interfaces with that pump. The proposed device utilizes PVC tubing throughout the device. A section of this PVC tubing interfaces with Baxter pumps. This same PVC tubing is used in other Baxter IV sets cleared for use with the same Baxter pumps with which the proposed device will be used.

DISCUSSION OF NONCLINICAL TESTS:

Baxter Healthcare Corporation conducts risk analyses and design verification tests based on the results of these analyses. All test results meet their acceptance criteria and support that the proposed device is appropriately designed for its intended use.

Performance Data:

The following bench tests were conducted to evaluate the functional performance of the Solution Set for Epidural Use:

  • Drop Volume Test
  • . Cannula Pull Out Test
  • Spike Insertion Test
  • Spike Removal Test
  • Roller Clamp Force Test
  • Roller Clamp Shut-Off and Tubing Leak Test
  • Slide Clamp Shut Off Test
  • Solvent Bond Tensile Strength Test (for all bonds) ●
  • Solvent Bond Air/Water Pressure Test (for all bonds) ●
  • AAMI/CN6:2015 Connector Tests on Male Epidural Lock Connectors
  • Pump Tests
    • -Flow Rate Accuracy
    • Upstream/Downstream Occlusion -
    • Tubing Crimping/Flexion When Used with Infusion Pumps -

All tests met the acceptance criteria.

Biocompatibility:

All patient-contacting components meet the category of External Communicating Device, Indirect Blood Path, Prolonged Duration in accordance with ISO 10993-1 and FDA Blue Book Memorandum #G95-1 Use of International Standard ISO-10993, "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing," as recommended in the IV administration sets guidance for Industry and FDA Staff: Intravascular Administration Sets Premarket Notification Submissions [510(k)].

Image /page/9/Picture/0 description: The image shows the word "Baxter" in a bold, blue font. The font is sans-serif and the letters are slightly slanted to the right. The word is likely a logo or brand name.

Biocompatibility assessment has been conducted on a representative final, finished device for all materials of the Solution Set for Epidural Use. The following tests were conducted as part of the biocompatibility testing:

  • Cytotoxicity
  • Systemic Toxicity
  • Irritation/Intracutaenous Reactivity
  • Sensitization
  • Hemocompatibility
  • USP Physiochemical ●
  • USP Material Mediated Pyrogen

Sterility:

The Solution Set for Epidural Use is sterilized with gamma radiation. The Minimum Sterilizing Dose (MSD) required to provide a 10th Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) for this (sub) category was established and validated at the manufacturing facility using Method 1 as described in ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11137-2 Sterilization of Health Care Products - Radiation - Part 2: Establishing the Sterilization Dose.

This product is labeled "Sterile, nonpyrogenic." Package verification testing is based on Visual Inspection, ASTM F88 Seal Strength, and ASTM F2096 Bubble Leak.

Shelf-Life:

Baxter has provided aging tests to support a shelf-life claim of one (1) year. Baxter intends to perform testing to expand the shelf-life up through a period of five (5) years.

CONCLUSION:

The nonclinical data support the substantial equivalence of the proposed device and demonstrate that the proposed device performs comparably to the predicate device that is legally marketed for the same intended use.
