Device Description
The Enteral ite enteral feeding pump with disposable set is a small, lightweight pump used to dispense liquid nutrients at a user controlled rate to patients. The device may be used in the hospital or at home by bed-ridden or ambulatory patients. The device is also designed for use with pediatric patients. The device is a software controlled, variable flow rate, peristaltic pump. It operates up to 24 hours (at a nominal flow rate of 125 ml/hr) from internal rechargeable batteries. The batteries are recharged by a wall mounted charger that plugs into a standard 120 volt alternating current wall socket. The charger is available in various input voltage and plug configurations to accommodate international requirements. The charger converts line voltage to a safe low voltage of 12 volts DC that is supplied from the charger to the pump. A "fuel gauge" type indicator on the pump's LCD display continuously shows the state of battery charge. The pump motor runs at a single speed and is turned on and off at programmed intervals to obtain the desired flow rate. The motor drive circuit is controlled by a microcontroller that allows the motor to pause longer at lower flow rates with correspondingly shorter pauses at higher flow rates. The software embodied within the microcontroller was extensively validated and verified as part of the design process. The pump includes several safety features. An air-in-line sensor rapidly detects whenever nutrient flow is interrupted and alerts the user with both a visual and audible alarm. Two pressure sensors detect occlusions both on the nutrient bag (distal) side and the patient (proximal) side of the pump. The user is alerted to proximal or distal occlusions by both visual and audible alarms. A backpack (convertible to a fannypack) is available for use under ambulatory conditions. The pump may be operated in any orientation. The ZEVEX disposable nutrient administration set is comprised of nine components. All components of the set remain extracorporeal. The ZEVEX set interfaces with the in vivo apparatus via an industry standard non-I.V. compatible stepped adapter. The disposable set includes a short length of silicone tubing that is stretched around the three feeding purno rollers. As the rollers turn, they occlude the tubing forcing the nutrient solution through the silicone pump tube. The set also includes a unique fail safe device that precludes free-flow when the set is not correctly installed in the pump with the door closed. Pull tests were done to assure that the set would not be easy to inadvertently disconnect when in use.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the mechanical and software control of a peristaltic pump, with no mention of AI or ML technologies for flow rate adjustment, safety feature interpretation, or any other function. The software controls are described as a microcontroller turning the motor on and off at programmed intervals.

Yes
The device is described as "used to dispense liquid nutrients... to patients," which implies a direct role in medical treatment or management for patients requiring nutritional support.

No

This device is described as a pump used to "dispense liquid nutrients," not to diagnose a condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly details hardware components such as a peristaltic pump, motor, microcontroller, batteries, charger, air-in-line sensor, and pressure sensors. While software controls the pump, it is an integral part of a physical medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The device is used to "dispense liquid nutrients" to patients. This is a direct therapeutic intervention, not a test performed on samples taken from the body to diagnose or monitor a condition.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the mechanical and electrical aspects of a pump designed to deliver fluids. It does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples
    • Providing diagnostic information
    • Using reagents or assays

The device is clearly described as an enteral feeding pump, which is a medical device used for delivering nutrition directly into the gastrointestinal tract. This falls under the category of therapeutic or supportive medical devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

§ 880.5725 Infusion pump.

(a)
Identification. An infusion pump is a device used in a health care facility to pump fluids into a patient in a controlled manner. The device may use a piston pump, a roller pump, or a peristaltic pump and may be powered electrically or mechanically. The device may also operate using a constant force to propel the fluid through a narrow tube which determines the flow rate. The device may include means to detect a fault condition, such as air in, or blockage of, the infusion line and to activate an alarm.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
