No
The device description explicitly states it is a "reusable mechanical, non-electronic ambulatory infusion pump that does not require batteries or any electrical source." The mechanism of action is based on a spring and mechanical flow regulators, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
Yes
The device is an infusion system designed to deliver specific immune globulin solutions to patients in a controlled manner, which indicates it provides a therapeutic benefit by administering medication.
No
This device is an infusion system designed for controlled delivery of fluids, specifically immune globulin solutions, into a patient. It is not used to diagnose a medical condition or disease.
No
The device description explicitly states that the SCIg60 Infusion System consists of mechanical and physical components, including an infuser, flow control sets, a flow regulator, and administration sets. It is described as a "reusable mechanical, non-electronic ambulatory infusion pump." There is no mention of software as a component of the device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "pump fluids from a reservoir into an adult or pediatric patients... in a controlled manner". This describes a device used for administering substances to a patient, not for testing samples from a patient.
- Device Description: The description details a mechanical infusion pump and associated components for delivering fluids subcutaneously. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or performing diagnostic tests.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not include any elements typically associated with IVDs, such as reagents, assays, sample handling components, or analysis of biological markers.
The device is clearly intended for therapeutic administration of medication, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Device Description
The EMED SCIg60 Infusion System consists of:
- SCIg60 Infuser
- fixed-rate Infuset flow control extension set
- VersaRate variable-rate flow regulator
- SUB-O patient administration set
The SCIg60 Infuser must be used with the BD 60 ml syringe (model no. 309653). The Infuset flow control extension sets, VersaRate flow regulator, and SUB-Q patient administration sets are also manufactured by EMED Technologies.
The SCIg60 Infuser is a reusable mechanical, non-electronic ambulatory infusion pump that does not require batteries or any electrical source. The EMED SCIg60 Infuser uses a spring as a source of pressure for the subcutaneous infusion of indicated human plasma-derived immunoglobulin solutions.
The Infuset flow control extension sets are assembled from standard luer lock components and specified lengths of PVC microbore tubing. The length and diameter of the tubing results in predetermined flow rates when used with the SCIg60 Infuser, and include slide-clamps for stoping the flow of fluid. The SCIg60 Infuser user manual includes information to guide users in the selection of Infuset flow control extension sets and SUB-Q patient administration sets users to achieve the desired infusion rates.
The change proposed in this 510(k) includes the addition of the VersaRate flow regulator. The VersaRate flow regulator consists of a barrel-type regulator component, medium-density PVC standard luer lock connectors. Snap-fit design elements of the regulator halves hold the gasket in place and allow the VersaRate to withstand fluid pressures up to 18 psi. The rotation of the flow regulator component alters internal fluid path dimensions.

Comment 1
The patient-contacting and fluid path materials of the subject SCIg60 Infuser flow control accessory are identical to that of the predicate, K161906. The manufacturing, and packaging processes of the subject SCIg60 Infuser and Infuset flow control accessory are identical to that of the predicate, K161906.
The patient contacting and fluid path materials of the subject VersaRate flow control accessory are identical to the currently marketed VersaRate Controller (K123729). The contact type and duration is similar from a biocompatibility perspective. The subject device is indicated for subcutaneous administration whereas the VersaRate controller (K123729) is indicated for intravenous. However, there are no additional biocompatibility endpoints that need to be evaluation for this change of intended use. The previous determination that the biocompatibility endpoints have been verified to meet the intravenous route of administration per K123729 can be leveraged to determine that the addition of this component to the subject device does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.
Comment 2
VersaRate controller has up to 0.10mL higher residual volume that the predicate device. However, the difference is not clinically significant. This does not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness.
Comment 3
The total flow rates of the subject device are within the range of the predicate device. In addition, the total flow rates that are achieved with the subject device when used as indicaturer recommended flow rate limits) are substantially equivalent to those of the predicate.
Comment 4
Flow rate accuracy of the SCIg60 Infusion System employing the VersaRate variable rate flow control accessory is more variable at low flow rates than that of the predicate. This increased variation, expressed as a % of target, at low VersaRate positions (that equate to lower flow rates) is expected in that a small difference between measured flow rate and target flow rate results in a large % difference. Given that the VersaRate provides a similar variability in terms of ml/hr across its positions, flow rate variation in terms of % of target would be expected to be much smaller for higher VersaRate positions and the resulting higher target flow rates.
As with the predicate, instructions for use and labeling for the subject SCIg60 Infusion System employing the VersaRate variable flow control accessory include only those combinations of VersaRate position and SUB-Q sets that provide flow rate performance in line with indicated immunoglobulin manufacturer recommendations. Combinations that allow for flow rates that exceed manufacturer recommendations taking into account system accuracy and vertical sensitivity are excluded.
Because only those VersaRate position and SUB-Q combinations that meet label requirements for administration of each of the indicated immunoglobulin solutions are presented in user instructions, any differences in flow rate accuracy provided by the VersaRate or Infuset flow control devices are well controlled, do not adversely impact users, and do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness of the system when it is used as intended
Performance Testing
The following bench testing was performed and reviewed to support the substantial equivalence of the subject device:
- Validation of simulated test fluids
- Infusion flow rate testing with SCIg60 Infusion System and indicated human plasma-derived immunoglobulin . solutions*

- Influence of elevation on flow rate for indicated human plasma-derived immunoglobulin solutions
- Infusion flow rate testing with combinations of SCIg60 Infuser, VersaRate flow regulator positions and SUB-Q ● patient administration sets, and Infuset flow control sets and SUB-Q patient administration sets was performed with simulated test fluid for the indicated human plasma-derived immunoglobulin solutions. Additional performance and flow rate testing was conducted per:
- ISO 85368:2015 Infusion equipment for medical use Part 8: Infusion sets for single use with pressure O infusion apparatus
- Human factors validation of the SCIg60 Infusion System, including additional evaluation of critical tasks ● associated with introduction of the VersaRate Flow rate controller as well as with the currently indicated immunoglobulin solutions. The testing was conducted per:
- Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff: Applying Human Factors and Usability O Engineering to Medical Devices, 2016 (https://www.fda.gov/downloads/MedicalDevices/.../UCM259760.pdf)
- ANSI/AAMI HE75:2009 Human Factors engineering Design of medical devices O
- . Compatibility of human plasma-based immunoglobulin solutions with the SCIg60 Infusion System, including the VersaRate flow control accessory, related to adverse impact to either the SCIg60 Infusion System or the indicated fluids.
- . Particulate testing per USP
- The SCIg60 Infusion System includes directions for the selection of Infuset flow control extension sets and SUB-Q set combinations, or VersaRate flow controller positions and SUB-Q set combinations, in order to achieve desired infusion rates for each of the indicated human plasmaderived immunoglobulin solutions.
Only those combinations that provide flow rate performance in line with indicated immunoglobulin manufacturer recommendations after taking into account total system accuracy and vertical sensitivity are included. This strategy is identical to that employed in K161906 for presenting only Infuset and SUB-Q set combinations that meet label requirements for administration of each of the indicated immunoglobulin solutions.
A safety assurance case was provided for the SCIg60 Infusion System, as recommended in the FDA guidance document, Infusion Pumps Total Product Life Cycle
(https://www.fda.gov/downloads/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidanceDocuments/UCM209337.pdf)
The stated goal of the safety assurance case is:
-
. The SCIg60 Infusion System is adequately safe for its intended use.
The assurance case defined the device system, including the indications for use, system definition, operational description, patient populations, and use environments. The supporting assurance arguments covered the following attributes: -
(1) Device is adequatelt defined (as a contet for the assurance case)
-
(2) Device design is adequately verified and validated
-
(3) Device associated risks are completely identified and adequately mitigated
-
(4) Device is adequately reliable to ensure safety over device use life
The following specific evidence was included within the assurance case to demonstrate that the subject device is verified and validated for its intended use and to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate devices:
- SCIg60 Infuser Product Requirements Matrix ●
- SCIg60 Infusion Pump Design Verification Report ●
- . SCIg60 Infusion Pump Design Validation Report
In addition, the safety assurance case has been updated to include unique hazards associated with use of the VersaRate flow control accessory as part of the SCIg60 Infusion System, such as those related to selection of flow control positions to achieve target flow rates, and acceptable use and performance of the VersaRate "Off" function.

Conclusions
The differences between the predicate and the subject device do not raise any different questions of safety or effectiveness. The SCIg60 Infusion System is substantially equivalent to the SCIg60 Infuser cleared under K161906 with respect to the indications for use, target populations, treatment method, and technological characteristics.
