III. DEVICE CHARACTERISTICS SUMMARY

The Rika Plasma Donation System is an automated blood component collection system that uses centrifugal force to separate whole blood into plasma and its remaining cells. The plasma is collected, and the remaining cells and saline, if configured, are returned to the donor. When the Rika Plasma Donation System utilizes the individualized nomogram, it uses a donor's characteristics to determine the amount of plasma to collect.

IV. INDICATIONS FOR USE

The Indication for Use statement for the Rika Plasma Donation System is as follows:

The Rika Plasma Donation System is an automated blood cell separator device and single-use sterile disposable set intended for use in collecting source plasma with or without saline compensation.

### C. Clinical Studies

Terumo BCT conducted a prospective, open-label, multi-center study to ensure the collection volume of plasma collected with the Rika Plasma Donation system met the individualized nomogram for plasma donations. The study collected 124 evaluable plasma products at 2 investigative sites in the US.

#### *Primary endpoint*

The primary endpoint of the investigation was the proportion of plasma products with an acceptable plasma collection volume as determined by the individualized nomogram. The overall procedure success was achieved in 100% of the procedures in the Evaluable Analysis Set. The lower bound of a one-sided 95% confidence interval was 0.9761 which is above 0.95, demonstrating that the test product met the individualized nomogram.

#### *Safety*

No safety signals were observed in this study. All reported procedure-emergent adverse events (PEAEs) were anticipated and have been previously reported as potential AEs during apheresis donation as indicated in the Clinical Investigation Plan and Informed Consent Form. There were no serious adverse events (SAEs) or unanticipated adverse device effects (UADEs) reported during this study.

### VII. CONCLUSIONS

Based on the results of the non-clinical and clinical tests performed on the Rika Plasma Donation System utilizing the individualized nomogram, it is as safe and effective as the legally marketed predicate and reference devices. The information provided in the 510(k) demonstrates that the Rika Plasma Donation System is substantially equivalent to the identified predicate and reference devices.
