Device Description

The Medi-SIS Syringe Infusion System consists of a plastic, spring driven infusion pump and various administration sets. Two models of the Medi-SIS pump have been developed to accommodate 20 and 60 ml syringes.

AI/ML Overview

The provided documentation describes the I-Flow Medi-SIS Syringe Infusion System, specifically regarding a change in labeling to include Sherwood Monoject Syringes in addition to the previously approved Becton-Dickinson® brand syringes. The submission (K972173) is a 510(k) summary rather than a full study report, and therefore much of the information typically found in a comprehensive clinical or performance study is not present. However, it does provide performance test data related to the device's function.

Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly state formal "acceptance criteria" in a separate section. However, it implicitly assesses performance against the "labeled delivery time" of the device and states that performance within ±15% of the labeled time is considered acceptable. It also notes that slower delivery rates (even beyond this range) might not affect safety or efficacy for certain drug types.

Performance MetricAcceptance Criteria (Implied)20ml Sherwood Monoject Syringe (Lot # 724040)20ml Sherwood Monoject Syringe (Lot # 723462)60ml Sherwood Monoject Syringe

Burst PressureMaintain structural integrity up to 60 psiNo effect on structural integrity at 60 psiNo effect on structural integrity at 60 psiNo effect on structural integrity at 60 psi

Note on Delivery Time Acceptance: For the 20ml syringe, the reported increased delivery times (24% to 31%) exceed the general ±15% specification. However, the document states: "The slower delivery rate has no effect on safety or efficacy of the device when reviewed against its intended use. The types of drugs that are commonly used with this device are generally given by IV push which doesn't have a specified flow rate." This indicates a practical interpretation of acceptance criteria based on clinical context rather than a strict numerical threshold for all situations.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The data used for testing are from the manufacturer's internal performance tests for the Medi-SIS Syringe Infusion System when used with Sherwood Monoject Syringes. The documentation does not specify the country of origin of the data but implies it was conducted by I-Flow Corporation. The tests appear to be prospective, laboratory-based performance tests evaluating the device.

  • Delivery Time (Sherwood Monoject):
    • 20ml/15min set: n=30 per syringe lot (two lots tested: #724040, #723462, so 60 total)
    • 20ml/30min set: n=30 per syringe lot (two lots tested: #724040, #723462, so 60 total)
    • 60ml/30min set: n=30
    • 60ml/60min set: n=30
  • Temperature Effect (Sherwood Monoject):
    • 20ml/15min set: n=20 (52°F, 90°F), n=30 (72°F) for Lot #724040
    • 20ml/30min set: n=20 (52°F, 90°F), n=30 (72°F) for Lot #724040
    • 60ml/30min set: n=20 (50°F, 90°F), n=30 (72°F)
    • 60ml/60min set: n=20 (50°F, 90°F), n=30 (72°F)
  • Residual Volumes (Sherwood Monoject):
    • 20ml syringe: n=5 for both 20ml/15min and 20ml/30min sets
    • 60ml syringe: n=5 for both 60ml/30min and 60ml/60min sets
  • Burst Pressure: The sample size is not explicitly stated, but it mentions "The 20 ml and 60 ml Sherwood Monoject Syringe have been tested..."

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications

Not applicable. The "ground truth" here is the physical performance of the device (e.g., actual delivery time, residual volume), measured directly by instrumentation in laboratory settings, not by expert interpretation.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. This is a technical performance study, not a study requiring expert adjudication of clinical outcomes or images.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This device is an infusion pump, and the evaluation focuses on its mechanical performance, not human reader performance in interpreting results.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance Study

Yes, the studies presented are essentially "standalone" performance evaluations of the device, albeit in conjunction with different types of syringes. The device itself (the Medi-SIS Syringe Infusion System) is being evaluated for its physical outputs (flow rate/delivery time, residual volume, structural integrity). There is no "human-in-the-loop" component to this performance evaluation.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth used is direct measurement of physical parameters in a controlled laboratory environment:

  • Delivery Time: Measured time for complete fluid delivery.
  • Residual Volume: Measured volume of fluid remaining in the syringe.
  • Burst Pressure: Testing to determine the pressure at which structural integrity is compromised.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. This is a performance validation of a mechanical device, not an AI/ML model for which "training sets" are relevant. The device implicitly relies on its mechanical design and calibration, not on data training.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device.

1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION

The following Summary of Safety and Effectiveness data has been prepared in support of the I-Flow Medi-SIS Syringe Infusion System.

The information has been prepared in conformance with 21 CFR §807.92 (a) and (b).

  • 1.1 History: The Medi-SIS Syringe Infusion System was previously submitted as the Titan Syringe Driver System under premarket notifications K953028 and K954059. The Medi-SIS Syringe Infusion System consists of a plastic, spring driven infusion pump and various administration sets. Two models of the Medi-SIS pump have been developed to accommodate 20 and 60 ml syringes.
    I-Flow, as the manufacturer of the Medi-SIS system, does not manufacture (including anv form of sterilization or providing primary product packaging) or modify the syringe that is intended to be used in the Medi-SIS pump and/or Medi-SIS administration sets.

In the original submission, the Medi-SIS labeling limited the spring driven syringe pump to use with Becton-Dickinson® brand syringes (20 and 60 ml). Test information specific to the B-D® syringes and the Medi-SIS System is provided here in limited form and only as is necessary for this submission.

  • Purpose of Submission: This submission is intended to notify Federal Food 1.2 and Drug Administration that a change is being made to the labeling of the I-Flow Medi-SIS Syringe Infusion System, a device currently marketed.
    I-Flow Corporation believes non B-D brand syringes are being used with the system although product labeling specifically identifies Becton-Dickinson syringes as the appropriate accessory device. The information included in the proposed labeling will provide users of non B-D brand syringes, specifically Sherwood Monoject Syringes, quidance for safer use of the system.

  • Statement of Equivalence: The 20 ml Medi-SIS Pump under review has one 1.3 minor proposed change to the plunger where the top of the syringe plunger comes into contact with it. The vertical ribs and circumferential base rib surrounding the inner diameter of the 20 ml Medi-SIS pump plunger have been removed to more easily accommodate the slightly wider top of the 20 ml Sherwood Monoject Syringe plunger.
    Two changes were made to the 60 ml Medi-SIS Pump. The inner diameter of the opening of the 60 ml Medi-SIS Pump inner sleeve has been increased to accommodate the slightly wider top of the 60 ml Sherwood Monoject Syringe plunger. The other change to the 60 ml Medi-SIS Pump was a slight increase to the inner diameter of the pump plunger.

No other changes to the Medi-SIS System are necessary other than the proposed labeling changes. Thus, it is I-Flow's belief that the Medi-SIS System remains substantially equivalent to the device(s) submitted in K954059 and K954059.

The following sections provide performance information specific to the use of the Medi-SIS Syringe Infusion System with 20 ml and 60 ml Sherwood Monoject Syringes.

{2}------------------------------------------------

2.0 INTENDED USE

  • The labeling changes proposed do not change the intended use for the predicate 2.1 device(s).
  • 2.2 The Medi-SIS Svringe Infusion System was designed and developed by I-Flow Corporation for infusions. The Medi-SIS Syringe Infusion System was designed for general drug and solution infusion uses: limitations of use are based on the volume of druq to be infused.

The acceptable routes of administration include those for similar size syringes, (i.e. intravenous infusions and subcutaneous infusions).

  • 2.3 The administration set is intended for single patient use only.
  • The Medi-SIS driver can be reused up to 5,000 times. 2.4
  • 2.5 The Medi-SIS system is intended for general infusion use. The Medi-SIS Syringe Infusion System is not limited to any specific type of therapy.
    • The health care professional should use the Medi-SIS system with 2.5.1 drugs that do not require a level or non-decreasing flow rate.
    • No testing has been conducted to determine the efficacy of the 2.5.2 Medi-SIS Syringe Infusion System for the delivery of blood, blood products or TPN. The Medi-SIS Syringe Infusion System is not intended for the delivery of blood, blood products or TPN.

3.0 SAFETY MECHANISMS

  • The Medi-SIS Syringe Infusion System is a fixed rate continuous flow device and 3.1 as such is not subject to fluid runaway conditions similar to that of standard infusion pumps or controller administration sets.
  • Under standard operating conditions, tests results for the Medi-SIS Syringe 3.2 Infusion System when used with 20 ml Sherwood Monoject Syringes produced a maximum average delivery time approximately 31% greater than the labeled delivery time. The slower delivery rate has no effect on safety or efficacy of the device when reviewed against its intended use. The types of drugs that are commonly used with this device are generally given by IV push which doesn't have a specified flow rate.

Test results for the Medi-SIS System when used with the 60 ml Sherwood Monoject Syringe produced an average delivery time approximately 6% less than the labeled delivery time. This performance is well within the labeled specification of ±15%.

{3}------------------------------------------------

BIOLOGICAL SPECIFICATIONS 4.0

  • 4.1 Based on the labeling changes proposed, there are no changes in biological specifications.
  • 4.2 The fluid path components of the administration sets have been subjected to both the USP Plastics Compatibility Tests and the testing required under ISO 10993-1.

5.0 CHEMICAL AND DRUG SPECIFICATIONS
