Intended Use
The Lactaline Personal Powered Breast Pumps (Premier/Expresse) are intended to express and collect the mother's milk of a nursing woman for the purpose of feeding the collected milk to a baby.
Device Description
The Expresse and Premier powered breast pumps are intended to express the mother's milk of a nursing woman. The pumping can be performed on one breast or both breasts at the same time. A control knob adjusts the suction strength (vacuum) to one of 8 settings between <100 and 360 mbar. Another control knob adjusts the suction rhythm (cycle) to one of 4 settings from 30 to 60 cycles per minute. The difference between the Premier and Expresse are the special bottle holders on the Expresse for using Freezer bags. All other features are substantially equivalent (Software, size, suction capacity, control knobs, weight, noise level and power supply.)

No
The device description focuses on mechanical controls (knobs for suction strength and rhythm) and does not mention any computational or adaptive features indicative of AI/ML.

No
A therapeutic device is one that treats or prevents a disease or condition. This device is used to express milk for feeding, which does not constitute treatment or prevention of a medical condition.

No
The provided text states that the device is "intended to express and collect the mother's milk of a nursing woman for the purpose of feeding the collected milk to a baby." There is no mention of diagnosing any condition or disease.

No

The device description explicitly details physical components like control knobs, suction mechanisms, and bottle holders, indicating it is a hardware device with potentially embedded software, not a standalone software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The Lactaline Personal Powered Breast Pumps are designed to physically express and collect breast milk from a nursing woman. This is a mechanical process performed on the body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "express and collect the mother's milk... for the purpose of feeding the collected milk to a baby." This clearly describes a physical action and its purpose, not a diagnostic test.

The device description and intended use align with a medical device used for a physical function, not an in vitro diagnostic test.
