The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and material properties of a hemodialysis catheter, with no mention of AI or ML technology.

Yes.
The device is used for hemodialysis, hemoperfusion, or apheresis therapy, which are all therapeutic interventions designed to treat medical conditions by removing harmful substances from the blood or separating blood components.

No

The HemoSplit™ catheter is indicated for use in attaining vascular access for therapies like hemodialysis, hemoperfusion, or apheresis. It is a device for therapeutic access, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter made of polyurethane with lumens, clamps, and connectors. It is a hardware medical device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "attaining short-term or long-term vascular access for hemodialysis, hemoperfusion or apheresis therapy." These are procedures performed directly on the patient's body to treat conditions, not to diagnose them by examining samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter designed for insertion into veins to facilitate blood flow for treatment. This aligns with a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) outside the body, which is the defining characteristic of an IVD.

Therefore, the HemoSplit™ long-term hemodialysis catheter is a therapeutic medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Summary of Change:

The modification to the HemoGlide Long-Term Dialysis Catheter, called HemoSplit, is a redesign of the distal tip configuration in which the lumens are bifurcated at a fixed point of separation, allowing independent movement of the lumens beyond the fixed point. The body of the HemoSplit catheter has the same basic design as HemoGlide with respect to the catheter shaft, bifurcation, and extension legs. However, the catheter shaft material is changed, as arethe new material/design for the luer connector.

Device Description:

HemoSplit Long-Term Dialysis Catheters are dual lumen catheters available in straight and precurved configurations with multiple insertion lengths. HemoSplit catheter bodies are made from a polyurethane material that is radiopaque. The dual lumen shaft has a double-D cross-sectional design with a venous lumen tip opening molded to facilitate over-the-guide wire placement. The arterial and venous lumens are separated a maximum of 8cm proximal to the distal tip of the venous lumen, and are able to float freely in the blood stream. The molded bifurcation has an integral suture wing that is

K030020, AI Response HemoSplit

suitable for use with StatLock® securement devices. Each extension leg coming out of the bifurcation has an atraumatic acetal occlusion clamp, which closes to the lumen. The clamps have integral tags with the priming volumes of the individual lumen printed on them. Red and blue colorcoded luer connectors identify the arterial and venous lumens, respectively.

Intended Use of Devices:

The HemoSplit™ long-term hemodialysis catheter is indicated for use in attaining short-term or longterm vascular access for hemodialysis, hemoperfusion or apheresis therapy. Access is attained via the internal jugular vein, external jugular vein, subclavian vein, or femoral vein.

Catheters greater than 40 cm are intended for femoral vein insertion.

Technological Comparison to Predicate Devices:

The technological characteristics of the HemoSplit Dual Lumen Catheter are substantially equivalent to those of the predicate HemoGlide and Ash Split-Cath II catheters in terms of intended use, application, user population, basic design, performance, labeling, packaging, and sterilization method.

510(k) Substantial Equivalence Decision Tree:

New device is compared to Marketed Device?

Yes.

Does the new device have the same indication statement as the predicates?

Yes, with minor modifications.

Does the new device have the same technological characteristics, eg. design, material, etc. ?

Yes. The principles of operation and basic design are a combination of the two predicate devices. The labeling of the Split-Cath II indicates that it is made of Carbothane. The split-tip configuration is fundamentally the same as the Split-Cath II. The dual lumen bifurcated catheter body and extension legs are the same as the HemoGlide. However, the HemoGlide's acetal luer connectors have been replaced with polycarbonate (PC) luer connectors.

Could the new characteristics affect safety or effectiveness?

Yes. The split-tip configuration, the catheter body material change, and material/design change of the connector/bond could affect the safety or effectiveness of the device.

Do the new characteristics raise new types of safety and effectiveness questions?

No. Safety and effectiveness questions are the same for all long-term dialysis catheters.

Do accepted scientific methods exist for assessing effects of the new characteristics?

Yes. Reliance was placed on recognized standards to evaluate the device's performance. (See Non-Clinical Performance Data below.)
