Indications for Use
The intended use of the device is to provide hemodialysis treatments in the acute and chronic setting including high flux hemodialysis. - The device is intended to be used by trained operators when prescribed by a physician. - The device is intended to be used in conjunction with a hollow fiber or parallel plate dialyzer. - The auto start option is intended to allow up to a three day delayed start of the fluid path heat clean or rinse cycle.
Device Story
Dialysate delivery system for hemodialysis; mixes concentrate with water; regulates temperature and ionic concentration; removes fluid from blood; functions as total artificial kidney with dialyzer and blood pump. Modification adds 'AutoStart' feature allowing clinicians to schedule/delay fluid path heat clean or rinse cycles by up to 3 days. Used in clinical settings by trained operators. Output consists of prepared dialysate for patient treatment; AutoStart output is automated initiation of disinfection/rinse cycles. Benefits include operational flexibility for facility maintenance schedules.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Hemodialysis proportioning system. Fluid path and hardware identical to predicates. Software modification for delayed disinfection/rinse scheduling. No changes to safety systems or materials.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring hemodialysis in acute and chronic settings, including high flux hemodialysis. Intended for use by trained operators under physician prescription.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A high permeability hemodialysis system is a device intended for use as an artificial kidney system for the treatment of patients with renal failure, fluid overload, or toxemic conditions by performing such therapies as hemodialysis, hemofiltration, hemoconcentration, and hemodiafiltration. Using a hemodialyzer with a semipermeable membrane that is more permeable to water than the semipermeable membrane of the conventional hemodialysis system (§ 876.5820), the high permeability hemodialysis system removes toxins or excess fluid from the patient's blood using the principles of convection (via a high ultrafiltration rate) and/or diffusion (via a concentration gradient in dialysate). During treatment, blood is circulated from the patient through the hemodialyzer's blood compartment, while the dialysate solution flows countercurrent through the dialysate compartment. In this process, toxins and/or fluid are transferred across the membrane from the blood to the dialysate compartment. The hemodialysis delivery machine controls and monitors the parameters related to this processing, including the rate at which blood and dialysate are pumped through the system, and the rate at which fluid is removed from the patient. The high permeability hemodialysis system consists of the following devices:(1) The hemodialyzer consists of a semipermeable membrane with an in vitro ultrafiltration coefficient (K uf ) greater than 8 milliliters per hour per conventional millimeter of mercury, as measured with bovine or expired human blood, and is used with either an automated ultrafiltration controller or anther method of ultrafiltration control to prevent fluid imbalance.(2) The hemodialysis delivery machine is similar to the extracorporeal blood system and dialysate delivery system of the hemodialysis system and accessories (§ 876.5820), with the addition of an ultrafiltration controller and mechanisms that monitor and/or control such parameters as fluid balance, dialysate composition, and patient treatment parameters (e.g., blood pressure, hematocrit, urea, etc.). (3) The high permeability hemodialysis system accessories include, but are not limited to, tubing lines and various treatment related monitors (e.g., dialysate pH, blood pressure, hematocrit, and blood recirculation monitors).
