The summary describes a standard enteral feeding pump with features like flow rate control, accuracy, occlusion pressure limits, and a clog clearing function. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any learning or adaptive capabilities. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".
Yes
The device is an enteral feeding pump, which is used to provide nutrition to patients, directly addressing a medical need and thus qualifying as a therapeutic device.
No
The device description indicates the ClearStar pump is an enteral feeding pump used for delivering nutrients, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description explicitly refers to a "pump" and its physical characteristics like flow rate, accuracy, and occlusion pressure, indicating it is a hardware device.
Based on the provided text, the ClearStar pump is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health.
- ClearStar Pump Function: The description clearly states the ClearStar pump is an "enteral feeding pump." Its purpose is to deliver liquid nutrition directly into a patient's digestive system.
- Lack of Diagnostic Activity: The text describes the pump's operational specifications (flow rate, accuracy, pressure) and safety features related to delivering fluids. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
Therefore, the ClearStar pump is a medical device used for treatment (delivering nutrition), not for in vitro diagnosis.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The ClearStar pump can be used for adult and pediatric patients provided the patients can tolerate a feeding range within the pump operational specifications. Those specifications are:
-
- The flow rate range is 1-300 ml/hr in I mL/hr increments
-
- The flow rate accuracy is ± 10% or ± 0.5 mL/hr, whichever is greater
-
- The occlusion pressure limit is 26-30 psi.
If these specifications are not appropriate for a given patient, the ClearStar pump should not be used.
Precautions
All enteral pumps have the potential to bolus-feed or over deliver, which is an important consideration in feeding volume-sensitive patients. In these patients, a volume of product no more than four times the hourly feeding rate should be hung.
Confirm proper placement and function.
Confirm proper placement and function of patient's enteral feeding tube (nasogastric, jejunostomy, gastrostomy, etc.), and verify the following before initiating feeding:
-
- A ClearStar Pump Set is being used.
-
- Cassette is properly seated in pump.
-
- When on AC power, pump is fully seated in charger.
-
- Flow rate is set at the prescribed ml/hr.
-
- Pump dial is turned to RUN.

Device Description
The ClearStar pump raises no new questions of safety or effectiveness above those currently associated with enteral feeding pumps. The operator's manual for the ClearStar pump provides warnings regarding volume sensitive patients similar to those found in the operating manuals of the Companion and Quantum enteral feeding pumps.
The pump's automatic clog clearing function has been designed to ensure that the nominal pressure exerted on a clog is in the 26 to 30 psi range. Additionally, to ensure that the patient is not underfed, the pump, if unsuccessful in clearing a clog before ten (10) minutes have elapsed, will alarm occlusion. Finally, the pump can only be in the clog clearing mode a maximum of twenty (20) minutes or ten times in any consecutive four (4) hour period. If twenty (20) minutes or ten times are exceeded, the pump will alarm occlusion.
Product literature for enteral feeding tubes (nasogastric and gastrostomy) cautions not to use a pump or syringe that causes pressures to build beyond 40 psi This warning is pressures above 40 psi can cause med-port plugs to separation of the feeding set from the feeding tube. Pressure build-up with the ClearStar pump during occlusion is maintained safely below the maximum pressure specification of the feeding tubes.

§ 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).
