Indications for Use
The Embedding TM Tool is used to "embed" about 30cm of the external portion of a peritoneal dialysis catheter into the subcutaneous tissue immediately following the initial tunneling step of catheter implantation in order to be retrieved at a later time to begin peritoneal dialysis. After this secondary tunneling step, the titanium tip is unscrewed from the tool handle and functions as a plug at the catheter end. The titanium cap is then screwed onto the open end of the titanium tip to close it off. This Embedding™ Tool is intended to be used by the same physician at the same time and setting when he is implanting the catheter initially. As such, it can be used with any patient who is a suitable candidate for delaved peritoneal dialysis catheter utilization.
Device Story
Embedding™ Tool facilitates secondary tunneling of peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheters. Device consists of rigid PVC handle and detachable titanium tip/cap. Used by physicians in clinical setting immediately following initial catheter implantation. Tool embeds ~30cm of external catheter portion into subcutaneous tissue for future retrieval. Upon completion, titanium tip is unscrewed from handle to serve as catheter plug; titanium cap is screwed onto tip to seal. Enables delayed PD treatment initiation. Benefits patient by allowing catheter placement in advance of dialysis need while maintaining sterility and patency.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical evaluation performed at a dialysis center demonstrated the tool functioned as intended. Bench testing performed to demonstrate mechanical integrity.
Technological Characteristics
Rigid PVC handle; detachable titanium tip and cap. Manual surgical instrument. Non-powered. Dimensions: designed to embed ~30cm of catheter.
Indications for Use
Indicated for subcutaneous embedding of the external portion of peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheters in patients who are candidates for PD and delayed onset of PD treatment. Procedure must be performed immediately following successful catheter implantation, provided catheter patency is established and the catheter is suitable for embedding.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
(1) A peritoneal dialysis system and accessories is a device that is used as an artificial kidney system for the treatment of patients with renal failure or toxemic conditions, and that consists of a peritoneal access device, an administration set for peritoneal dialysis, a source of dialysate, and, in some cases, a water purification mechanism. After the dialysate is instilled into the patient's peritoneal cavity, it is allowed to dwell there so that undesirable substances from the patient's blood pass through the lining membrane of the peritoneal cavity into this dialysate. These substances are then removed when the dialysate is drained from the patient. The peritoneal dialysis system may regulate and monitor the dialysate temperature, volume, and delivery rate together with the time course of each cycle of filling, dwell time, and draining of the peritoneal cavity or manual controls may be used. This generic device includes the semiautomatic and the automatic peritoneal delivery system.(2) The peritoneal access device is a flexible tube that is implanted through the abdominal wall into the peritoneal cavity and that may have attached cuffs to provide anchoring and a skin seal. The device is either a single use peritioneal catheter, intended to remain in the peritoneal cavity for less than 30 days, or a long term peritoneal catheter. Accessories include stylets and trocars to aid in the insertion of the catheter and an obturator to maintain the patency of the surgical fistula in the abdominal wall between treatments. (3) The disposable administration set for peritoneal dialysis consists of tubing, an optional reservoir bag, and appropriate connectors. It may include a peritoneal dialysate filter to trap and remove contaminating particles. (4) The source of dialysate may be sterile prepackaged dialysate (for semiautomatic peritoneal dialysate delivery systems or “cycler systems”) or dialysate prepared from dialysate concentrate and sterile purified water (for automatic peritoneal dialysate delivery systems or “reverse osmosis” systems). Prepackaged dialysate intended for use with either of the peritoneal dialysate delivery systems is regulated by FDA as a drug.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The following accessories are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9: A catheter finger grip that is non-patient contacting and intended for single use with a peritoneal catheter; a continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) belt; and a catheter stand that does not include weigh scales.
