Indications for Use
The Gambro Cartridge® Blood Set is intended for single use in a hemodialysis treatment using the Phoenix and Centrysystem 3 Dialysis Delivery Systems. The Low Weight model is used when a low extra-corporeal blood volume is recommended. The Low Weight model with a priming volume of 75 ml is indicated for patients with body weight greater than 20 Kg and lower or equal to 40 Kg. The standard models with a priming volume ranging from 103 ml to 162 ml are indicated for patients with body weight greater than 40 Kg.
Device Story
Single-use sterile extracorporeal blood circuit (bloodlines) for hemodialysis; conveys blood from patient fistula to dialyzer and back. Comprises arterial and venous tubing sets with integrated cartridge. Used in clinical settings with Phoenix or Centrysystem 3 dialysis delivery systems; operated by trained healthcare professionals. Input: patient blood; Output: purified blood returned to patient. Facilitates extracorporeal circulation during dialysis treatment. Benefits patient by enabling safe, effective blood purification. Includes Low Weight model for pediatric/smaller patients requiring lower extracorporeal volume. Tubing utilizes DEHP-free plasticizer.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing included biocompatibility, flow rate, injection port validation, hemodialysis machine compatibility, mechanical hemolysis, expiration dating, connection strength, kink resistance, and clamping performance. No clinical data presented.
Technological Characteristics
Extracorporeal blood circuit; soft PVC tubing with DEHP-free plasticizer; latex-free injection plugs. Single-use, sterile, radiation-sterilized. Compatible with Phoenix and Centrysystem 3 dialysis machines. Includes various configurations (Single Needle, Double Needle, Low Weight).
Indications for Use
Indicated for hemodialysis patients using Phoenix or Centrysystem 3 delivery systems. Low Weight model (75 ml prime) for patients >20 kg and ≤40 kg. Standard models (103-162 ml prime) for patients >40 kg.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A hemodialysis 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 an extracorporeal blood system, a conventional dialyzer, a dialysate delivery system, and accessories. Blood from a patient flows through the tubing of the extracorporeal blood system and accessories to the blood compartment of the dialyzer, then returns through further tubing of the extracorporeal blood system to the patient. The dialyzer has two compartments that are separated by a semipermeable membrane. While the blood is in the blood compartment, undesirable substances in the blood pass through the semipermeable membrane into the dialysate in the dialysate compartment. The dialysate delivery system controls and monitors the dialysate circulating through the dialysate compartment of the dialyzer.(1) The extracorporeal blood system and accessories consists of tubing, pumps, pressure monitors, air foam or bubble detectors, and alarms to keep blood moving safely from the blood access device and accessories for hemodialysis (§ 876.5540) to the blood compartment of the dialyzer and back to the patient. (2) The conventional dialyzer allows a transfer of water and solutes between the blood and the dialysate through the semipermeable membrane. The semipermeable membrane of the conventional dialyzer has a sufficiently low permeability to water that an ultrafiltration controller is not required to prevent excessive loss of water from the patient's blood. This conventional dialyzer does not include hemodialyzers with the disposable inserts (Kiil type) (§ 876.5830) or dialyzers of high permeability (§ 876.5860). (3) The dialysate delivery system consists of mechanisms that monitor and control the temperature, conductivity, flow rate, and pressure of the dialysate and circulates dialysate through the dialysate compartment of the dialyzer. The dialysate delivery system includes the dialysate concentrate for hemodialysis (liquid or powder) and alarms to indicate abnormal dialysate conditions. This dialysate delivery system does not include the sorbent regenerated dialysate delivery system for hemodialysis (§ 876.5600), the dialysate delivery system of the peritoneal dialysis system and accessories (§ 876.5630), or the controlled dialysate delivery system of the high permeability hemodialysis system § 876.5860). (4) Remote accessories to the hemodialysis system include the unpowered dialysis chair without a scale, the powered dialysis chair without a scale, the dialyzer holder set, dialysis tie gun and ties, and hemodialysis start/stop tray.
