Intended Use
The Art Hemoadsorption system operates and monitors the extracorporeal blood circuit to perform whole blood or plasma adsorption (when used with a commercially available plasma filter).
Device Description
In the extracorporeal blood circuit, the blood is continuously anticoagulated with ACD-A solution. The ACD-A flow can be adjusted and is controlled in relation to the blood flow. The ACD-A flow is monitored by a drip counter. If a whole-blood adsorption treatment is performed, the blood pump transports blood from the inlet side of the patient's vascular access through the adsorber. If a plasma adsorption treatment is performed, the blood pump transports blood from the inlet side of the patient's vascular access through a plasma filter. The plasma filter separates the plasma from the whole blood. The plasma pump delivers the plasma through the adsorber. The adsorber removes undesired substances from the blood or plasma. Downstream of the adsorber, the blood or plasma flows into the bubble catcher. In case of plasma adsorption, the plasma is mixed with the blood components that have been separated in the plasma filter beforehand. The blood is then returned to the patient via the return line.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the mechanical and control aspects of blood and plasma flow and adsorption, with no mention of AI or ML technologies for analysis, control, or decision-making.

Yes
The device performs whole blood or plasma adsorption to remove undesired substances from the blood or plasma, which directly treats a medical condition.

No

The device is described as an "Art Hemoadsorption system" that "operates and monitors the extracorporeal blood circuit to perform whole blood or plasma adsorption." It removes "undesired substances from the blood or plasma" and returns the treated blood to the patient. This functionality describes a therapeutic treatment system rather than a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components such as pumps, filters, adsorbers, and a bubble catcher, indicating it is a physical medical device system, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes a system that operates and monitors an extracorporeal blood circuit for performing whole blood or plasma adsorption. This is a therapeutic procedure performed on the patient's blood outside the body, not a diagnostic test performed in vitro (in a lab setting) to analyze samples for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details the mechanical components and processes involved in circulating and treating blood or plasma extracorporeally. It focuses on physical separation and adsorption, not on analyzing biological samples for diagnostic information.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Language: The text does not mention analyzing biological samples, detecting biomarkers, providing diagnostic information, or any other activities typically associated with IVDs.

The device is clearly designed for a therapeutic purpose (removing undesired substances from blood or plasma) rather than a diagnostic one.
