Indications for Use
The PRISMAFLO II is for warming dialysis fluid and returning blood flow. Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. It is intended to be used only by appropriately trained and qualified healthcare professionals and servicing staff in clinical environments.
Device Story
PRISMAFLO II is a water-free blood and dialysis fluid warmer; designed to prevent heat loss in return blood flow lines during hemodialysis or CRRT (Gambro Prismaflex/Prisma systems). Device consists of a control unit and a slotted, silicon sleeve warmer; sleeve encloses blood return lines (up to 7.00 mm diameter). Resistance heating system transfers warmth directly to the tubing; ensures maximum efficiency and prevents temperature loss. Control unit manages sleeve temperature; displays actual/set temperatures; provides visual/audible alarms and hardware-based cut-offs. Operated by trained healthcare professionals in clinical settings; mounted directly onto hemodialysis systems. Benefits patient by maintaining normothermia during extracorporeal blood circulation.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Verification activities confirmed the system's ability to prevent cooling of blood return lines on the Gambro Prismaflex CRRT system and validated the effectiveness of alarm/cut-off mechanisms under unsafe operating conditions. Compliance with safety standards DIN EN 60601-1, DIN EN 60601-1-2, UL 2601-1, CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 601.1-M90, and ASTM F 2172-02 was demonstrated.
Technological Characteristics
Water-free resistance heating system; silicon sleeve warmer; control unit with electronic temperature monitoring. Dimensions: 3.9 kg. Power: 22 VDC (from 115/230 VAC, 50/60 Hz). Standards: DIN EN 60601-1, DIN EN 60601-1-2, UL 2601-1, CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 601.1-M90, ASTM F 2172-02. Hardware-based alarms and cut-offs.
Indications for Use
Indicated for warming dialysis fluids and returning blood flow in patients undergoing hemodialysis or CRRT treatments using Gambro Prismaflex or Prisma systems.
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.
