Intended Use
The Alpha Infusion Pump is intended for intravenous, intra-arterial, subcutaneous, or epidural infusion of medications or fluids requiring continuous delivery at controlled infusion rates. Medications or fluids are intended to be delivered percutaneously through a catheter. The Alpha Infusion Pump is suitable for use as an ambulatory device and is intended for use in the home environment but not limited to use in the home environment.
Device Description
The proposed device, the Alpha Infusion Pump, is an elastomeric chamber infusion pump intended to deliver medications or fluids to a patient by an intravenous, intra-arterial, subcutaneous, or epidural route. These pumps are ambulatory, external, disposable infusion pumps which deliver medication or fluids percutaneously to the patient via a catheter. They control flow rate using a flow restrictor.
More Information

No
The device description and intended use focus on a mechanical, elastomeric pump with flow control via a restrictor, and there are no mentions of AI, ML, or related concepts in the provided text.

Yes
The device is an infusion pump designed to deliver medications or fluids for treatment, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is described as an "infusion pump" intended for delivering medications or fluids, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "elastomeric chamber infusion pump" and describes physical components like a "flow restrictor" and delivery via a "catheter," indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: IVD devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Alpha Infusion Pump Function: The Alpha Infusion Pump is designed to deliver medications or fluids directly into a patient's body (intravenously, intra-arterially, subcutaneously, or epidurally). It is a drug delivery system, not a device that analyzes biological samples.

The description clearly states its purpose is for "infusion of medications or fluids requiring continuous delivery at controlled infusion rates" and that it "deliver[s] medication or fluids percutaneously to the patient via a catheter." This is the function of a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.

Device Description

The proposed device, the Alpha Infusion Pump, claims substantial equivalence in intended use and operation to the Baxter Intermate LV Elastomeric Infusion Device (K922382) and the I-Flow PainBuster Infusion System (K980558). Both are elastomeric chamber infusion pump intended to deliver medications or fluids to a patient by an intravenous, intra-arterial, subcutaneous, or epidural route. These pumps are ambulatory, external. disposable infusion pumps which deliver medication or fluids percutaneously to the patient via a catheter. They control flow rate using a flow restrictor.

§ 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).

510(k) SUMMARY - Safety and Effectiveness

Alpha Infusion Pump

The proposed device, the Alpha Infusion Pump, claims substantial equivalence in intended use and operation to the Baxter Intermate LV Elastomeric Infusion Device (K922382) and the I-Flow PainBuster Infusion System (K980558). Both are elastomeric chamber infusion pump intended to deliver medications or fluids to a patient by an intravenous, intra-arterial, subcutaneous, or epidural route. These pumps are ambulatory, external. disposable infusion pumps which deliver medication or fluids percutaneously to the patient via a catheter. They control flow rate using a flow restrictor.

The proposed device, the Alpha Infusion Pump, claims substantial equivalence in intended use to the Burron Ambulatory Drug Delivery System (K896422), the Sgarlato Laboratories Pain Control Infusion Pump (K990101), and the McKinley Medical OutBound Disposable Syringe Infusor (K982256). These infusion pumps differ from the Alpha Infusion Pump only in the method used to pressurize the medication or fluid contained within the pump.

The proposed device, the Alpha Infusion Pump, claims substantial equivalence in intended use to the McKinley Medical OutBound PCA Pain Management System (K982256) and the Breg Pain Care 2000 (K983454). These infusion systems provide for the delivery of a bolus of medication on patient demand through a percutaneous catheter.
