The device description details user-adjustable settings, pre-programmed timers, and firmware controlling basic pump functions, with no mention of adaptive learning, pattern recognition, or data-driven decision making characteristic of AI/ML.
No.
The device is used to express and collect milk, not to treat a disease or condition for therapeutic purposes.
No
The device is a powered breast pump intended for expressing and collecting milk, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components such as a vacuum pump, solenoid, tactile switches (buttons), a rechargeable battery, a USB port, and LED lights or an LCD screen. While firmware (software) controls these components, the device itself is a physical breast pump with integrated hardware.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "express and collect milk from their breast." This is a physical process performed on the body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
- Device Description: The description details a powered breast pump that uses vacuum and cycle speeds to extract milk. It does not mention any analysis of biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Indicators: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Providing diagnostic information
- Using reagents or assays
- Measuring biomarkers
The device is clearly described as a breast pump, which is a medical device used for a therapeutic/supportive purpose, not for in vitro diagnosis.

Device Description
The Freemie® Independence and Freemie® Liberty powered breast pumps utilizes the supplied previously cleared device (K130349) Freemie® Breast Pump Collection System to express and collect milk from the breast of a lactating woman. Pumping can be performed on one breast (single pumping) or both breasts (double pumping) at the same time. The system is designed for mobile pumping (home, office, etc.) as the device is light weight, compact in size and can be attached to the user's clothing with a clip.
Ten (10) suction levels, eleven (11) cycle speeds and three (3) memory settings (suction and cycle levels) are user adjustable via tactile switches (referred to as buttons). The pumps are powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion polymer battery which can be charged with a USB to micro USB provided cable (laptop, car, etc.) and alternatively with a supplied wall charge adapter with a USB port for charging the battery with mains power. The sole function of the Micro USB port on the pump is for charging the pump. The power to the pump is always supplied by the battery, even when charging.
Firmware controls a low voltage DC swash plate vacuum pump and solenoid that is capable of providing vacuum levels from -10 to -280 mmHq with cycle speeds from 18 to 150 cycles per minute. A physical barrier on the collection side prevents backflow of milk into the pump.
The Freemie® Independence Pump has a series of LED lights to indicate the pump's current use settings to the user and has a pre-programmed auto shut-off timer that turns the pump off after 40 minutes. The Freemie® Liberty Breast Pump has an LCD screen to indicate the pump's current use settings to the user and has an auto shut-off timer that is user adjustable in five minute increments from 5 to 40 minutes.
