Abstract: This ICR collects information from manufacturers of infusion pumps who intend to submit a safety assurance case (assurance case) with their premarket notification (510(k)) submission. Based on the information provided in the premarket notification (510(k)) submission, FDA determines whether a new device provides reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the device through substantial equivalence to a legally marketed device and whether the device can, therefore, be allowed to enter the U.S. market. However, FDA also believes an assurance case can be used to support claims that a device is safe for use. An assurance case is a systematic method of documenting a claim through a series of structured arguments, supported by a body of evidence that provides a compelling, comprehensible and valid case that the claim is true. Manufacturers submitting a 510(k) for modifications to a legally marketed infusion pump for which no assurance case exists, should develop and submit an assurance case for their infusion pump.
