The device is described as an infusion kit intended to provide continuous infusion of local anesthetic for postoperative pain management. Its purpose is to deliver medication, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description explicitly states it is comprised of a Paragon pump and administration set, which are hardware components.
Based on the provided text, the Paragon Infusion Kit is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to deliver a local anesthetic directly into a patient's body for pain management. This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The device is described as a pump and administration set for infusing medication. This aligns with a drug delivery system, not a device used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on flow rate accuracy, which is relevant to drug delivery, not diagnostic testing.
IVD devices are used to test samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the body to provide information about the body. The Paragon Infusion Kit delivers substances into the body.

Device Description
The Paragon Infusion Kit is identical to the I-Flow PainBuster Infusion Kit with the exception of the Paragon pump and administration set replacing the PainBuster pump. The kit is comprised of a Paragon pump and administration set (K923875) and various kit components such as catheter, needle, syringe, Y adapter, dressing, tape, gauze and carry case. The Paragon administration set is intended to attach to the kit catheter at the distal end of the set to provide continuous infusion of a local anesthetic directly into the intraoperative site for general surgery for postoperative pain management. The Paragon administration set is a disposable device intended for single patient use. The Paragon pump is reusable. The Paragon is suitable for use as an ambulatory device and is intended for use in the hospital, home environment or alternative care sites.
The Paragon pump consists of two cylindrical shells. The top half of the pump has internal threads which mate to the external threads of the bottom half of the pump. The top incorporates a pressure plate which applies a load to the pliable drug bag. The load is applied to the drug bag by way of two opposing springs which act upon a scissors mechanism. The spring/scissors mechanism creates a near constant pressure in the drug bag. The bottom half of the pump is slotted to allow for positioning of the administration set. When the top and bottom halves of the pump are fully threaded together, the pressure plate contacts the drug bag and acts as the pressurizing element. This premarket notification proposes no changes to the Paragon pump.
The Paragon administration set consists of a PVC drug bag attached to the administration line. Each administration set consists of fixed diameter flow control tubing or glass orifice. The flow control tubing or glass orifice is cut to a specific length L. When the PVC drug bag is pressured by the Paragon pump, the delivery times are defined by the inside diameter of the flow control orifice. The delivery time characteristic is derived from the flow rate of the device which is in turn approximated by Poiseulle's equation: Q = (Δρ * π * D^4) / (12 * β * μ * L) Where Q is the flow rate, Δρ is the pressure drop across the orifice, D is the inside diameter of the flow controlling orifice, μ is the dynamic viscosity of the fluid and L is the length of the orifice. The equation provides an approximation of the actual delivery time.
The Paragon pump: PG100000P: 100 ml volume.
