Intended Use
Dose IQ Safety Software is intended to be used with the Novum IQ Syringe Pump and Novum IQ Large Volume Pump to support the controlled administration of fluids. Dose IQ Safety Software is intended to allow users to create and maintain drug libraries, including the configuration of pump settings for the compatible pumps. Dose IQ Safety Software is intended to allow users to establish the facility-defined syringe list, which is a subset of Baxter's approved compatible syringes, for the Novum IQ Syringe Pump. Dose IQ Safety Software is intended to be used by licensed pharmacists. Dose IQ Safety Software is intended to be used in hospitals and outpatient health care facilities.
Device Description
Dose IQ is a standalone (not embedded in pumps) browser-based software application that is installed on a hospital-provided computing platform. It provides the hospital's pharmacists the ability to create and configure a facility-specific drug library file for the either the Novum IQ Large Volume Pump or the Novum IQ Syringe Pump. Dose IQ stores the created drug library for future transfer to an infusion pump that is compatible with the drug library file through the IQ Enterprise Gateway, or via a USB. It is intended to be used by multiple users simultaneously. Authorized users access the software though a Google Chrome web browser (build 76.0.3809.100 and above). Creating a facility-specific drug library in Dose IO is one method to implement a Dose Error Reduction System (DERS) – a safety system intended to reduce medication errors. A hospital-defined drug library defines medications with individual concentrations, concentration limits, dosing units, dosing limits, alarm configuration settings, and administration requirements that are specific to each patient care area. Pump programming values are checked against these hospital-defined limits. The pump alerts clinicians if programmed values exceed these limits. Also included in the drug library are hospital-defined individual care area settings and general pump settings. DERS is not active when programming an infusion using Basic Mode, which requires the pump user to manually specify the parameters for the infusion on the pump, therefore only individual Care Area settings, general pump settings, and pump default settings apply. Dose IQ does not directly interface with or control the compatible infusion pump. It solely provides the ability to create a drug library file that can then be loaded to the compatible infusion pump. Dose IO does not deploy the file to the pump; this is done by USB media or the IQ Enterprise Gateway software. A copy of the drug library file is stored in each pump, so that the pump can operate, without real-time interaction, with other components of the Novum IQ Platform. Baxter provides a list of syringe containers that are permissible with the Novum IQ Syringe pump based on specific syringe brands and sizes. The Approved Syringe List is available on Baxter's Technical Service Portal and must be uploaded into Dose IQ. The Approved Syringe List cannot be modified in Dose IQ. The pharmacist selects the required syringe brands and sizes from this Approved Syringe List to create the Facility Syringe List for use within the hospital. Dose IQ incorporates the Approved Syringe List and the Facility Syringe List as part of the drug library file for the Novum Syringe pump.

No.
The device is software that helps create drug libraries for infusion pumps; it does not directly administer fluids or diagnose/treat patients.

No

The device is intended to create and maintain drug libraries and configure pump settings for fluid administration, not to directly diagnose medical conditions. Its function is to support medication safety by reducing errors, not to perform diagnostic assessments.

Yes

The device is described as a "standalone (not embedded in pumps) browser-based software application" that is installed on a hospital-provided computing platform. Its function is to create and configure drug libraries for compatible infusion pumps, not to directly control or interface with the hardware. The summary explicitly states it "does not directly interface with or control the compatible infusion pump."

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to support the controlled administration of fluids using infusion pumps by allowing users to create and maintain drug libraries and configure pump settings. This is related to drug delivery and pump management, not the diagnosis of disease or other conditions.
  • Device Description: The device is software that creates a drug library file for infusion pumps. It does not analyze biological samples or provide diagnostic information.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any activities typically associated with IVDs, such as analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or other biological specimens, or providing information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of disease.

The device is clearly focused on the safe and accurate delivery of medications via infusion pumps, which falls under the category of drug delivery systems and associated software, not in vitro diagnostics.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE:

Dose IQ is a standalone (not embedded in pumps) browser-based software application that is installed on a hospital-provided computing platform. It provides the hospital's pharmacists the ability to create and configure a facility-specific drug library file for the either the Novum IQ Large Volume Pump or the Novum IQ Syringe Pump. Dose IQ stores the created drug library for future transfer to an infusion pump that is compatible with the drug library file through the IQ Enterprise Gateway, or via a USB. It is intended to be used by multiple users simultaneously. Authorized users access the software though a Google Chrome web browser (build 76.0.3809.100 and above).

Creating a facility-specific drug library in Dose IO is one method to implement a Dose Error Reduction System (DERS) – a safety system intended to reduce medication errors. A hospital-defined drug library defines medications with individual concentrations, concentration limits, dosing units, dosing limits, alarm configuration settings, and administration requirements that are specific to each patient care area. Pump programming values are checked against these hospital-defined limits. The pump alerts clinicians if programmed values exceed these limits. Also included in the drug library are hospital-defined individual care area settings and general pump settings. DERS is not active when programming an infusion using Basic Mode, which requires the pump user to manually specify the parameters for the infusion on the pump, therefore only individual Care Area settings, general pump settings, and pump default settings apply.

Dose IQ does not directly interface with or control the compatible infusion pump. It solely provides the ability to create a drug library file that can then be loaded to the compatible infusion pump. Dose IO does not deploy the file to the pump; this is done by

DISCUSSION OF NONCLINICAL TESTS:

Non-Clinical testing of Dose IO Safety Software has been performed against requirements for performance and safety, and to provide objective evidence that the device's intended use is met. A summary of testing performed is identified below.

As recommended by FDA guidance, "Infusion Pumps Total Product Life Cycle" issued December 2, 2014, Baxter developed a Safety Assurance Case (SAC) to demonstrate that hazardous situations resulting from the design, intended use and reasonably foreseeable misuse of the device have been adequately mitigated.

The Dose IQ SAC takes the form of a top-level claim that Dose IQ Safety Software is adequately safe and effective for its intended use, divided into constituent claims, each supported by evidence-based arguments. These arguments demonstrate that potential hazards arising from risks present in using the software only device to build libraries for infusion systems have been identified and adequately mitigated. The SAC defined the device system, including the indications for use, patient populations, use environments, and system specifications. The supporting assurance arguments confirmed that:

  • . potential risks have been mitigated and the residual risk is acceptable,
  • . design verification and validation of the device is acceptable,
  • the device meets clinically valid essential performance.

Performance testing of the Dose IQ Safety Software was verified against requirements for performance and safety, and to provide objective evidence that the device intended use is met.

  • . Validation demonstrated that design inputs and user needs were met. Verification involves testing requirements against pre-defined and approved protocols containing validated test methods and established acceptance criteria. System verification demonstrated that design outputs meet design and cyber security requirements. All the testing met acceptance criteria.
  • . Software verification and validation was performed according to FDA Guidance "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submission for Software Contained in Medical Devices." issued May 11, 2005. The software is considered a major level of concern. Software testing included Functional testing. Regression Testing. Smoke & Sanity testing, code review, static analysis, and unit testing.

Image /page/22/Picture/0 description: The image shows the word "Baxter" in a bold, blue font. The font appears to be sans-serif. The word is slightly slanted to the right, giving it a dynamic appearance. The background is plain white.

In addition to the above, and in consideration of IEC 62366-1ed. 1.0 b:2015. Medical devices – Part 1: Application of usability engineering to medical devices as well as FDA guidance, "Applying Human Factors and Usability Engineering to Medical Devices" issued February 3, 2016, Baxter conducted a Human Factors evaluation in a simulated environment. The human factors study was conducted with the intended user population, use environment and use scenarios to simulate clinical conditions. Results of the human factors study show the device is suitable for its intended use.

DISCUSSION OF CLINICAL TESTS:

No clinical testing was performed in support of this premarket notification.

CONCLUSION:

The Dose IQ Safety Software has been verified and validated against design input requirements, user needs and intended uses. The subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
