B. Braun Receives 510(k) Clearance for Space Syringe Pump

B. Braun gained 510(k) clearance from the FDA for its Perfusor space syringe pump, a wireless device that offers interoperability in various care and transportation settings.

The pump is cleared for use with air and road transportation and has an integrated piston brake to help prevent unintentional delivery of medication when changing the syringe.

The device includes a microprocessor to allow for independent modular use, which helps prevent catastrophic pump failures and channel confusion.
