Device Story
Infutest 2000 is an infusion pump analyzer measuring fluid delivery volume, flow rate, and occlusion pressure. It uses an optically instrumented horizontal burette; air bubbles create a meniscus tracked to calculate flow rate (0.1–999.9 mL/hr) and volume increments (as low as 15 µL). Internal pressure transducers (0–50 psi) measure occlusion pressure. The device supports up to four channels via a remote sensor module. Operated by biomedical technicians in clinical or service settings, it features an LCD interface with soft keys. It performs single/dual rate, PCA, and occlusion tests. Results are displayed on-screen, printed via Centronics port, or exported via serial port to external PCs. It connects to pump nurse-call alarms and provides trigger inputs for PCA pumps. By verifying pump accuracy and alarm limits, it ensures infusion device safety and performance.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. The device underwent extensive verification and validation testing to confirm performance against design and marketing specifications, including accuracy of flow rate, volume, and pressure measurements across multiple pump types.

Indications for Use
Indicated for verifying the functionality and performance of infusion pumps, including syringe, linear and rotary peristaltic, cassette-based, enteral, and patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) pumps. Intended for use by biomedical electronics technicians, manufacturers, and third-party service personnel.
Regulatory Classification
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.

#### Equivalency:
The Datrend Systems Infutest 2000 Infusion Pump Analyzer is substantially equivalent to the Bio-Tek IDA-2 Plus Infusion Device Analyzer (K961862) and the DNI Nevada 404A Infusion Pump Analyzer (K897096).
#### Description:
The Infutest 2000 Infusion Pump Analyzer is an instrument for measuring the volume of fluid delivered by an infusion pump. The instrument is based on an optically instrumented burette. Flow rates from 0.1 to 999.9 millilitres per hour can be derived from the incremental volume measurements in relation to the time of delivery. Infutest 2000 is a two channel system, which can be expanded to four channels by the addition of an accessory two channel sensor assembly called the Remote Sensor Module.
The Infutest 2000 is designed to accurately measure volumes and rates on a wide variety of infusion pump types, including syringe, linear and rotary peristaltic, cassette based, enteral and
{1}------------------------------------------------
#### patient controlled analgesia.
In addition to volume and flow rate, Infutest can measure the pressure developed by an infusion pump that is pumping into an occluded line. This feature is designed to measure the occlusion pressure alarm limits of the infusion pump.
Results of all tests performed can be printed to paper and/or sent to an external device using the serial communications port.
#### Intended Use:
The Infutest 2000 is intended to verify the correct operation of infusion pumps. Infutest 2000 is intended to be used by biomedical electronics technicians, manufacturers, third party service personnel, and others who may be charged with the responsibility of verifying the performance of infusion devices that operate in the flow rate range stated above.
### Technological Characteristics:
The Infutest 2000 measurement system is based on an optically instrumented burette, placed horizontally in the instrument. The fluid flow is calculated by measuring the time required by the pump under test to deliver small increments of fluid volume, as low as 15 microlitres. The individual volume increments vary in size, depending on the fluid flow rate. The increments of volume are detected optically, by monitoring the position of a meniscus in the burette. The meniscus is created by injection of a bubble of air into the burette. This system allows continuous, uninterrupted fluid flow during a test. Flow rates in the range of 0.1 to 999.9 millilitres per hour can be measured accurately with this system.
Internal pressure transducers with a range of 0-50 psi measure the pressure developed by an infusion pump, which is pumping into an occluded line. A valve in the Infutest that is normally open during flow tests can be closed during pressure tests to create an occlusion.
The main unit of the Infutest 2000 system is capable of measuring flow rate, volume and pressures on two independently operating channels at the same time. The system can be expanded to four channels by the addition of a two channel remote sensor module. The main unit controls the remote sensor module, and results of tests are displayed on the main unit's LCD.
Operation of the instrument is controlled by four 'soft keys', which change function depending on the current display. The display is a 40 character by 8 line LCD, capable of graphical presentation. An external device, through the serial communications port, may also control the operation of the instrument by control codes that mimic the function of the direct kevboard input.
Infutest 2000 can perform any one of four basic tests on any of up to four test channels. The four
{2}------------------------------------------------
basic tests are: a) Single Rate, b) Dual Rate, c) PCA and d) Occlusion Pressure. The results from a test can be printer to paper using the Centronics parallel printer output port, or sent to an external storage device, such as a personal computer, using the serial communications port. Up to 9 test protocols, combining a timed rate test, a timed occlusion test and a formatted output, can be defined and saved by the user to increase productivity.
Inputs are provided to connect to an infusion pump's nurse call alarm output, and the operation of the alarm is checked as part of the occlusion pressure test.
Outputs are provided to activate the trigger input of a patient controlled analgesia pump during a PCA test.
## Verification and Validation:
The Infutest 2000, the remote sensor module, the serial data transfer program and the graphics display program were extensively tested, verified and validated to be working per the input design and marketing specifications. The results of the testing indicates that the Infutest 2000 Infusion Pump Analyzer is substantially equivalent to the Bio-Tek IDA-2 Plus Infusion Device Analyzer (K961862) and the DNI Nevada 404A Infusion Pump Analyzer (K897096), and is safe and effective for its intended use.

Two short videos show you everything — or skip straight to the written tutorial if you'd rather read. You can reopen this any time from the Tutorial button in the top bar.
Part 1 — Search, results, and everyday workflows 16 min
Part 2 — Embeddings: the galaxy map 3 min
1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.
4. Device detail page: chat and citations
Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story. This is also exactly how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works under the hood, and it makes a great visual on client calls.
Try it yourself
Head to the search page and work through a few of these AI/ML fuzzy searches to build intuition: perivascular fat on CT · aortic valve calcification opportunistic screening on noncontrast CT · breast cancer prediction on digital pathology slides · autism detection · gestational age prediction · a hearing aid that can also detect a pulse · foundation model based analysis of ECG · large language models · penetration test.
