Intended Use
The Evenflo Comfort Control Breast Pump and Comfort Control Dual Breast Pump are personal use battery/electric powered suction devices used to express milk from the breast of lactating women. These devices are not intended for hospital use.
Device Description
The Evenflo Comfort Control Adjustable Speed Breast Pump with Automatic Cycling, and the Evenflo Comfort Control Dual Adjustable Speed Breast Pump with Automatic Cycling are diaphragm type pumps, driven by small DC motors, that create cycling negative pressure. The negative pressure generated by the pump is sufficient to overcome the resistance to the outflow of milk that is created by the muscles, yet gentle enough to prevent tissue damage to the user. The cycling speed and the strength of the negative pressure are controlled by individual rotary controls located on the pump unit. The combination of cycling speed and negative pressure control allow for a range of pressures to be selected. When used as a single collection pump, the maximum negative pressure ranges from 173 mm Hg to 56 mm Hg, and when used in the dual mode, it ranges from 173 mm Hg to 43 mm Hg.
More Information

No
The device description details a diaphragm pump with manual rotary controls for speed and pressure. There is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance testing summary. The testing focuses on basic performance metrics like pressure, cycle speed, and battery life, not on the evaluation of AI/ML algorithms.

No
The device is a breast pump, used to express milk from the breast, which is not considered a therapeutic function.

No.
The device description states it is a suction device used to express milk from the breast and focuses on the mechanical aspects of milk expression, such as negative pressure and cycling speed, rather than on diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a diaphragm type pump driven by small DC motors, which are hardware components. The controls for cycling speed and negative pressure are also described as physical rotary controls on the pump unit.

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 Evenflo Comfort Control Breast Pump is a mechanical device used to physically express milk from the breast. It does not analyze biological samples or provide diagnostic information.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is clearly stated as "to express milk from the breast of lactating women." This is a physical process, not a diagnostic one.

The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical aspects of the pump (negative pressure, cycle speed, battery life) and its ability to facilitate milk expression, not on analyzing biological samples for diagnostic purposes.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Evenflo conducted performance testing on its Comfort Control Pumps and each of the predicate devices. These tests measured the negative pressure generated by each pump and plotted the result as a function of time. Through these tests, a comparison of vacuum pressure and cycle speed could be determined. Tests were also conducted to determine the expected useful life of the battery for each pump.

Key Metrics (Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV, etc.)

Highest Vacuum Setting (mm Hg): 173

Lowest Vacuum Setting (mm Hg): 43

Range of Cycle Speeds (Cycles/Minute): 54~36
