Indications for Use
The Redsense device is intended to monitor for potential blood loss from the hemodialysis access site in hemodialysis patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment up to 5 hours at home or in the clinical setting. The device includes a blood sensor incorporated into an adhesive dressing. The sensor monitors potential blood leakage from the needle puncture via an infrared light and will alarm if needle dislodgement or blood leakage is detected. All use must be administrated under physician's prescription, and must be observed by a trained and qualified person considered to be competent in the use of this device by the prescribing physician.
Device Story
Redsense monitors hemodialysis needle sites for dislodgement or leakage. System comprises alarm unit and optical sensor integrated into adhesive patch. Sensor uses infrared light to detect blood presence at puncture site; triggers alarm upon detection. Used in home or clinical settings; operated by patient or trained/qualified observer under physician prescription. Output is audible/visual alarm alerting user to potential blood loss. Enables rapid intervention to prevent significant blood loss during dialysis.
Clinical Evidence
User evaluation conducted with 8 patients undergoing self-dialysis at home or clinic. Evaluated usability and instructions for use. Results showed no increase in false alarms compared to clinical setting and no adverse effects. Device functioned successfully in home environment.
Technological Characteristics
System includes alarm unit and optical sensor in adhesive patch. Sensing principle: infrared light detection of blood leakage. Connectivity: standalone. Alarm: audible and visual (LEDs). Minor PC board modifications for increased sound level.
Indications for Use
Indicated for hemodialysis patients undergoing treatment up to 5 hours in home or clinical settings to monitor for blood loss from access site. Must be used under physician prescription and observed by a trained, competent person.
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.
