    Intended Use

    The BD Alaris System with Guardrails Suite MX is a modular infusion pump and monitoring system for the continuous or intermittent administration of fluids to adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients through clinically accepted routes of administration: intravenous (IV), intra-arterial (IA), subcutaneous, epidural, or irrigation of fluid spaces. See Pediatric*, Neonate**, and Adult Patient Population Tables for the module-specific variations. Administered fluids include pharmaceutical drugs, red blood cells, and other blood components (platelets and fresh frozen plasma) as required for patient therapy. The BD Alaris System is an interoperable of communicating and exchanging data with compatible information technology systems.

    The BD Alaris System includes the PC Unit (PCU) and one or more of the following: Pump Module, Syringe Module, End-Tidal CO2 (EtCO2) Module, Auto-ID Module, Patient-Controlled Analgesia (PCA) Module, and associated software applications. The EtCO2 Module is a capnograph that continuously monitors end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2), fractional inspired carbon dioxide (FiCO2), and respiratory rate (RR).

    The BD Alaris Pump Module, and the Alaris PCA Module are indicated for varying patient populations, routes of administration, and infusates.

    Device Description

    The BD Alaris System with Guardrails Suite MX v12 is a modular infusion and monitoring system designed to provide accurate, automated infusion of a broad range of drugs and fluids, and to provide monitoring of respiratory parameters. The BD Alaris System with Guardrails Suite MX v12 has three major components:

    • System Hardware: a core hardware unit with user interface (BD Alaris PC Unit or PCU) and attachable modules each with . a distinct function.
    • . Guardrails Suite MX Software: software applications for support and interaction with the system hardware (BD Alaris System Manager, BD Alaris Guardrails Editor, and BD Alaris System Maintenance).
    • Interoperability Software: applications for bi-directional communication between the PCU/attached modules and an . electronic medical records (EMR) system. (Care Coordination Engine, Infusion Adapter, and Calculation Services).

    The PCU is the core of the BD Alaris System with Guardrails Suite MX v12 and powers, programs, and monitors the attached modules must be physically connected to the PCU to operate. The connection is made by direct attachment to a PCU or through attachment to a module that is attached to a PCU. The attachment is made inter-unit interface connectors built into both sides of the PCU and modules.

    The attachable modules are dedicated to infusion of fluids/medication, patient-controlled administration of analgesics, monitoring of end-tidal carbon dioxide, and scanning identifications of patient, physician, and infusates into the system.

    Each system must include a PCU. The rules for attachment of the modules are as follows:

    • · The PCU is designed to operate a maximum of four infusion or monitoring modules. Modules added in excess of four are not recognized, with the exception of the Auto-ID Module that can be included as a fifth module.
    • · Up to four Pump or Syringe Modules may be attached to a PCU at one time
    • Only one PCA and one EtCO2 module can be included within the four attached influsion or monitoring modules, since each BD Alaris System v12 is dedicated to a single patient.
    • In order to keep the PCU with attached modules well balanced when attached to a pole, it is important to distribute the . modules as evenly as possible on both sides of the PCU unit.

    The PCU and attachable modules have multiple processors running embedded software. The embedded software provides various functions, such as: bootloader, user interface, networking, motor control, data processing, power control, keypad processing, and communication.

    Communication occurs within the PCU or modules, and between the PCU and attached modules. Communication between the units is by direct electrical connection through the mechanical supports on each side of the PCU and modules.

    The PCU with its attached modules is designed to communicate and interact with the BD Alaris System with Guardrails Suite MX v12 software applications including software for interoperability with electronic medical records (EMR) systems. Communication between the PCU and the software application is accomplished through either a direct serial connection with the PCU or through a wireless connection with the PCU. If communication is interrupted, the PCU and modules will continue to function as programmed, but clinicians will need to make changes or inputs manually.

    It is important to note that interoperability of the BD Alaris System v12 does not include remote control of the BD Alaris System v12 components. The PCU and attached modules cannot be programmed remotely. Only infusion parameters can be prepopulated on the pump using interoperability and these parameters must be manually confirmed by the clinician before they are activated.

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

    The document does not explicitly provide specific sample sizes (e.g., number of infusion pumps, number of tests conducted for each parameter) for each test set. It lists general categories of "non-clinical testing" and indicates that "Verification and validation testing was completed in support of this premarket notification." The data provenance is described as "non-clinical testing," implying internal laboratory testing by the manufacturer. There is no information regarding country of origin or whether the data was retrospective or prospective in a clinical sense.

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

    No information is provided about experts used to establish "ground truth" in the context of clinical or diagnostic accuracy. The testing described is non-clinical, focusing on engineering and performance specifications. Therefore, the "ground truth" would be the theoretical or established performance parameters as defined in relevant engineering standards (e.g., AAMI TIR 101:2021).

    4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

    Not applicable. The reported tests are non-clinical and objective measurements based on engineering specifications and standards, not subjective assessments requiring adjudication by multiple experts.

    5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

    Not applicable. The BD Alaris System with Guardrails Suite MX v12 is an infusion pump and monitoring system, not a diagnostic imaging device typically associated with MRMC studies or AI assistance for human readers. No mention of AI assistance for human readers is made in the document.

    6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done

    Not applicable. The device is a physical infusion pump system with embedded software. While it has "Guardrails Suite MX Software" for safety management and "Interoperability Software" for communication, its primary function is direct fluid delivery and monitoring. Standalone algorithm-only performance as typically understood in AI/ML medical devices is not relevant here. The performance metrics are for the integrated system.

    7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

    For the non-clinical tests, the "ground truth" would be established by:

    • Engineering Specifications: The defined parameters and tolerances for fluid delivery, pressure, flow rate, alarms, and environmental conditions.
    • International and Industry Standards: Compliance with relevant standards like ISO 80601-2-55 (for EtCO2 module) and AAMI TIR 101:2021 (for flow rate accuracy).
    • Objective Measurement Devices: Calibrated equipment used to measure the physical outputs of the device (e.g., volume of fluid delivered, pressure readings).

    8. The sample size for the training set

    Not applicable. This is a traditional medical device (infusion pump) with embedded software, not a machine learning or AI device that typically requires a "training set" in the conventional sense. The software functions based on programmed logic and established parameters rather than learning from data.

    9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

    Not applicable, as there is no "training set" in the context of machine learning for this device. The system's "knowledge" or operational parameters are pre-defined by engineering design and validated against established standards and specifications.
