## Indications for Use

The Syringe•Mate System is indicated for patients requiring slow, continuous intravenous, epidural, or subcutaneous administration of medications.

## Device Story

Syringe•Mate System consists of infusion pumps with fixed flow rates (4.2 mL/hr, 0.8 mL/hr, or 0.6 mL/hr). Device provides slow, continuous delivery of medications via intravenous, epidural, or subcutaneous routes. Operation is mechanical; no software or electronic control described. Used in clinical settings for medication administration. Benefits include consistent, controlled delivery of therapeutic agents over extended periods (one, five, or seven days).

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Functional performance testing evaluated flow rate, residual volume, and pressure relief valve performance. Biological and chemical reactivity assessed per ISO 10993-1 and USP Physicochemical tests. Results indicate the device meets or exceeds functional requirements.

## Technological Characteristics

Fixed flow rate infusion pump. Materials assessed per ISO 10993-1 and USP Physicochemical standards. Mechanical operation; no energy source or software described. Dimensions/form factor vary by model (One, Five, Seven Day).

## Regulatory 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.

## Predicate Devices

- Uni•Dose Infusion Pump
- Baxter Multiday Infusor

Round Lake, IL 60073

## Date Prepared:
March 29, 1997

## Proposed Device:
Syringe•Mate System

## Predicate Devices:
Uni•Dose Infusion Pump
Baxter Multiday Infusor

## Proposed Device Description:

The new device consists of a line of Syringe•Mate System infusion pumps which will be manufactured with three different fixed, flow rates:

*One Day Syringe•Mate System (4.2 mL/hr)
*Five Day Syringe•Mate System (0.8 mL/hr)
*Seven Day Syringe•Mate System (0.6 mL/hr)

## Summary of Technological Characteristics of New Device to Predicate Devices

The Syringe•Mate System differs in material composition but is the same in overall design and intended use as the predicate devices.

# Discussion of Nonclinical Tests; Conclusions Drawn from Nonclinical Tests

The biological and chemical reactivity of the new materials have been assessed using biological methods specified in ISO 10993-1 and USP Physicochemical tests. The materials were found to be acceptable for their intended use.

Data regarding the functional performance of the Syringe•Mate System have also been generated. Testing was conducted to evaluate flow rate, residual volume and pressure relief valve performance. Performance testing results indicate that the Syringe•Mate System meets or exceeds the functional requirements and supports its suitability for use.

Dear Ms. Barsanti:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531
