The summary describes a microprocessor-controlled peristaltic pump for fluid management during arthroscopy. It mentions software verification and validation according to standard medical device software guidelines (IEC 62304) but does not mention any AI or ML specific terms, algorithms, or training/test data sets.
Yes
The device is used for fluid distension and irrigation during arthroscopic procedures, which are medical interventions. While it primarily handles fluids, its essential role in facilitating a medical procedure makes it a therapeutic device.
No
The device is an arthroscopy system designed to provide fluid distension and irrigation, as well as fluid suction during arthroscopic procedures. It functions as a pump for fluid management, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states that the DOUBLEFLO system contains a "microprocessor-controlled pump" as a main component and mentions electrical safety, EMC, biocompatibility, and sterilization testing, all of which relate to hardware components and their interaction with the body and environment. While software verification and validation are mentioned, they are part of the overall system validation, not the sole component.
Based on the provided information, the DOUBLEFLO system is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the system is for "fluid distension and irrigation of the knee, shoulder, hip, elbow, ankle and wrist joint cavities, and fluid suction during arthroscopy procedures." This involves direct interaction with the body during a surgical procedure, not the examination of specimens derived from the human body.
- Device Description: The description details a pump that transports and aspirates fluid within joint cavities. This is a mechanical function performed on the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any analysis of biological samples, reagents, or diagnostic purposes. IVD devices are used to examine specimens like blood, urine, or tissue to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
Therefore, the DOUBLEFLO system is a surgical device used for fluid management during arthroscopic procedures, not an IVD.

VIII PERFORMANCE DATA
The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.
Software
The software was developed, tested, and verified in accordance with the FDA quidance document, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices" and in accordance with the following standard:
