Intended Use
The Edwards Aquarius System is indicated for continuous solute and/or fluid removal in patients with acute renal failure or fluid overload. The Edwards Aquarius system may also be used in Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE) therapies. The Edwards Aquarius system is indicated for use in a clinical setting and not for home use.
Device Description
The Edwards Aquarius System needs to be used in conjunction with a tubing set and a filter to provide Hemofiltration treatment to the patient. The Aquarius system is an Automated Fluid Balance Monitor, designed to be used with various extracorporeal treatments in the field of renal replacement therapies or plasma therapies. All therapies must be prescribed by a physician. The Aquarius system is divided into three circuits: the extracorporeal (blood) circuit, the substitution/dialysate circuit and the filtrate circuit. Toxic substances are removed by filters and clean blood is returned to the patient. The Aquarius system allows the patient to be positioned left or right of the instrument. The Aquarius system uses two scales to accurately measure and precisely balance filtration and substitution volumes. Heparin may be supplied to the extracorporeal circuit via an anticoagulant pump (Heparin pump). The prescribing physician may select continuous or intermittent options. The Aquarius protective system is designed as a 2-channel system to protect the patient from foreseeable danger. At the back of the scale system a removable hand-crank is mounted. This can be used to manually turn the blood pump in case a pump stops. The Aquarius system is portable. It has a wheeled base connected with a handle to move or carry the Aquarius.

No
The description focuses on automated fluid balance monitoring, scales for volume measurement, and safety features, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

Yes
The device is indicated for "continuous solute and/or fluid removal in patients with acute renal failure or fluid overload" and "Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE) therapies," which are treatments aimed at directly addressing and improving a patient's health condition.

No

The device is designed for therapeutic purposes (continuous solute and/or fluid removal, therapeutic plasma exchange) rather than identifying or diagnosing a disease or condition. It is an "Automated Fluid Balance Monitor" used for "renal replacement therapies or plasma therapies."

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components such as scales, pumps, a wheeled base, and a hand-crank, indicating it is a physical medical device system, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "continuous solute and/or fluid removal in patients with acute renal failure or fluid overload" and "Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE) therapies." These are direct treatments performed on the patient's blood within the body (extracorporeal circulation), not tests performed on samples outside the body to diagnose or monitor a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a system that interacts directly with the patient's blood (extracorporeal circuit) to filter and return it. It mentions "clean blood is returned to the patient." This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory tests.

Therefore, the Edwards Aquarius System is a therapeutic device used for renal replacement therapy and plasma exchange, not an IVD.

§ 876.5860 High permeability hemodialysis system.

(a)
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).
(b)
Classification. Class II. The special controls for this device are FDA's:(1) “Use of International Standard ISO 10993 ‘Biological Evaluation of Medical Device—Part I: Evaluation and Testing,’ ”
(2) “Guidance for the Content of 510(k)s for Conventional and High Permeability Hemodialyzers,”
(3) “Guidance for Industry and CDRH Reviewers on the Content of Premarket Notifications for Hemodialysis Delivery Systems,”
(4) “Guidance for the Content of Premarket Notifications for Water Purification Components and Systems for Hemodialysis,” and
(5) “Guidance for Hemodialyzer Reuse Labeling.”
