Indications for Use
The Redsense device is intended to monitor for potential blood loss from a hemodialysis access site in patients undergoing continuous hemodialysis treatment up to 8 hours in the clinical setting. The device includes a blood sensor incorporated into an adhesive sensor patch. The sensor monitors potential blood leakage from the venous needle puncture site via an infrared light and will alarm if blood leakage is detected via absorption onto the device's sensor patch.
Device Story
Redsense system monitors hemodialysis venous needle site for blood loss; consists of alarm unit and optical sensor in adhesive patch. Sensor placed over needle puncture site; uses infrared light to detect blood leakage via absorption onto patch. If leakage detected, device triggers audible/visual alarm. Used in clinical settings; operated by trained staff. Output alerts clinicians to needle dislodgement or leakage; enables rapid intervention to prevent patient blood loss.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Verification testing performed to confirm device fulfills requirement specifications for 8-hour clinical use. Testing included verification of audible and visual alarm capabilities. Results met all requirements.
Technological Characteristics
System comprises an alarm unit and an optical sensor integrated into an adhesive patch. Sensing principle: infrared light absorption to detect blood leakage. Connectivity: standalone alarm unit. Power: not specified. Sterilization: not specified.
Indications for Use
Indicated for hemodialysis patients undergoing continuous hemodialysis treatment in clinical settings for up to 8 hours to monitor for potential blood loss from the venous needle puncture site.
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.
