The description focuses on the physical characteristics and materials of a hemodialysis catheter, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes.
The device is a hemodialysis catheter, which is used for chronic hemodialysis, a therapeutic procedure that removes waste products from the blood of patients with kidney failure.

No

Explanation: The device is a hemodialysis catheter, which is used for treatment (delivering fluids and removing waste products during dialysis) rather than for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical catheter made of polyurethane with a polyester cuff and luer locking adapters. It is a hardware device used for hemodialysis.

Based on the provided information, the Hemo-Stream™ Hemodialysis Catheter Set is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "chronic hemodialysis and apheresis." These are procedures performed on the patient's body to filter blood or remove specific blood components.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter designed to be inserted into the body (intravascular) for the purpose of accessing the bloodstream. It describes physical components like lumens, a cuff, and luer locking adapters, all related to the physical connection to the patient's circulatory system.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The Hemo-Stream™ catheter does not perform any such analysis or testing of specimens outside the body.

The Hemo-Stream™ Hemodialysis Catheter is a medical device used for a therapeutic procedure (hemodialysis/apheresis), not an in vitro diagnostic test.

510(K) SUMMARY

This summary of 510(k) safety and effectiveness information is being submitted in accordance with the requirements of SMDA 1990 and 21 CFR §807.92.

The assigned 510(k) number is:

1. Submitter's Identification:

Rex Medical 585 County Line Road Radnor, PA 19087

Date Summary Prepared:

November 15, 2002

ર્યુ Name of the Device:

Hemo-Stream™ Hemodialysis Catheter Set

3. Predicate Device Information:

K#012365, Vaxcel Dialysis Catheter, Boston Scientific Corporation, Natick, MA.

4. Device Description:

The Rex Medical Hemo-Stream™ Hemodialysis Catheter is a 16F chronic, multilumen, radiopaque, polyurethane catheter with a polyester cuff and two female luer locking adapters. The cuff promotes tissue in-growth for fixation of the catheter in a subcutaneous tunnel. The luer locking adapters, as well as the tubing clamps, are colored to differentiate the arterial and venous lumens. Four arterial intake lumens are located 360º around a central venous lumen. The catheter intended purpose is identical to the predicate device with the exception that the Hemo-Stream™ Catheter does not facilitate the use of a tear-away sheath during the insertion procedure. The catheter will be manufactured in useable lengths, or the length from the distal catheter tip to the hub junction, of 24cm, 28cm, 32cm, 36cm, and 40cm.

5. Intended Use:

The Hemo-Stream™ Hemodialysis Catheter Set is designed for chronic hemodialysis and apheresis.

Comparison to Predicate Devices: 6.

Discussion of Similarities:

The Hemo-Stream™ Hemodialysis Catheter is similar to the Vaxcel Catheter in that they both provide access for hemodialysis. Both Catheters offer a colorcoded female luer adapter, red for arterial and blue for venous, to attach to a dialysis tubing set. The female luers for both catheters offer the corresponding lumen primina volume to insure the catheter receives the proper heparin lock between treatments. Both catheters offer a fixed polyester felt cuff located on the catheter lumen to stimulate tissue in-growth which will anchor the catheter in place as well as form an infection barrier. Proximal to the catheter lumens for both catheters is an integrated hub that encapsulates the catheter tubing and extension tubing junctions. On this hub is a rotating suture wing that may be used to anchor the catheter to the patient until the tissue in-growth around the catheter cuff is matured. Both catheters are made of a polyurethane material and have an adequate offset distance on the distal tip between the arterial intake lumen and the venous return lumen to reduce the effects of arterial/venous blood re-circulation.

Discussion of Differences

The outer diameter of the Hemo-Stream™ Hemodialysis Catheter is approximately 16F. The proximal portion of the Vaxcel Catheter has an outer diameter of 16F that tapers down to 14F distally. The Hemo-Stream™ Hemodialysis Catheter has four independent lumens for arterial intake and one lumen for venous return. The Vaxcel Catheter has one arterial intake lumen and one venous lumen. The Vaxcel utilized a tear-away sheath for catheter insertion while the Hemo-Stream™ Hemodialysis Catheter provides a catheter stiffener that allows the catheter to be introduced over the guidewire.

7. Discussion of Non-Clinical Tests Performed for Determination of Substantial Equivalence are as follows:

Comparative Functional testing to the predicate was performed based on ISO 10555-1 and the FDA's Reviewer Guidance for Long Term and Short Term Intravascular Catheters. Material Testing also included ISO 10993 Biocompatibility Testing. Testing results revealed the subject device to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

8. Discussion of Clinical Tests Performed:

Not applicable, as there are no new indications for use which must be supported by clinical data.

Conclusions: 9.

The subject device, Hemo-Stream™ Hemodialysis Catheter, has the same intended use as the predicate device, the Boston Scientific Vaxcel Catheter. Moreover, bench testing contained in our submission and non-clinical testing supplied demonstrates that there are no differences in their technological characteristics, thereby not raising any new questions of safety and effectiveness. Thus, the Hemo-Stream™ Hemodialysis Catheter is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, the Vaxcel Catheter.
