Intended Use
The SideKick Infusion Kit is intended to provide continuous infusion of a local anesthetic directly into an intraoperative (soft tissue / body cavity) site for general surgery for postoperative pain management. Additional routes of administration include percutaneous, subcutaneous, intramuscular and epidural infusion.
Device Description
The SideKick Infusion Kit is identical to the I-Flow Paragon Infusion Kit with the exception of the SideKick pump and administration set replacing the Paragon pump and administration set. The kit is comprised of a SideKick pump and administration set and various kit components such as catheter, needle, syringe, Y adapter, dressing, tape, gauze and carry case. The SideKick 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 SideKick administration set is a disposable device intended for single patient use. The SideKick pump is reusable. The SideKick is suitable for use as an ambulatory device and is intended for use in the hospital, home environment or alternative care sites.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a mechanical infusion pump and administration set, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities. The performance data focuses on flow rate accuracy, which is a standard metric for such devices.

Yes
The device is intended to provide a continuous infusion of a local anesthetic for postoperative pain management, directly treating a medical condition.

No

The device is an infusion kit designed for continuous delivery of local anesthetics for pain management, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is comprised of a "SideKick pump and administration set and various kit components such as catheter, needle, syringe, Y adapter, dressing, tape, gauze and carry case." This indicates the device includes significant hardware components beyond just software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body.
  • SideKick Infusion Kit Function: The SideKick Infusion Kit is designed to deliver a substance (local anesthetic) into the body for pain management. It is an infusion device, not a diagnostic test.

The description clearly states its purpose is for "continuous infusion of a local anesthetic directly into an intraoperative (soft tissue / body cavity) site". This is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

§ 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).
