Intended Use
The ROTEM® delta Thromboelastometry System is designed for invitro diagnostic use by professionals in a laboratory environment. The ROTEM® system is intended to be used to provide a qualitative and quantitative indication of the coagulation state of a blood sample. For this purpose the ROTEM® system records the clot firmness changes in a sample of citrated whole blood as the sample clots, retracts and Ivses in real time. The analyzer output consists of a qualitative graphical representation (mirrored coagulation curve - clot firmness over time) and several defined numerical parameters describing the curve quantitatively. The ROTEM® system provides specific blood modifiers (so-called reagents) intended to be used with the system, as additive to the blood sample. The results of the ROTEM® analysis should not be the sole basis for a patient diagnosis, but should be evaluated together with the patient's medical history (anamnesis), the clinical picture and, if necessary, further coagulations tests. The ROTEM® delta is a non-invasive diagnostic instrument designed to monitor and analyze the coagulation state of a blood sample in order to assist in the assessment of patient clinical hemostasis conditions. The indication for ROTEM® delta use is with adult patients where an evaluation of their blood coagulation properties is desired. Coagulation evaluations with the ROTEM® delta are commonly used to assess clinical conditions in organ transplantation, cardiovascular surgery, cardiology procedures and trauma to assess post-operative hemorrhage and / or thrombosis. ROTROL N is a quality control material for monitoring accuracy and precision of tests carried out on the ROTEM® delta Thromboelastometry System. ROTROL P is a quality control material for monitoring accuracy and precision of tests carried out on the ROTEM® delta Thromboelastometry System. The in-TEM® assay is a semi-quantitative in vitro diagnostic assay used on the ROTEM® delta Thromboelastometry System to monitor the coagulation process via the intrinsic pathway in citrated whole blood specimens. Clotting characteristics are described by the functional parameters Clotting Time (CT), Speed of Clot Formation (CFT and alpha angle), Clot Firmness (A20/MCF) and Clot Lysis (LOT, ML, LI(x)). The hep-TEM® assay is a semi-quantitative in vitro diagnostic assay used on the ROTEM® delta Thromboelastometry System to monitor the coagulation process, via the intrinsic pathway in the presence of unfractionated heparin, in citrated whole blood specimens. The hep-TEM® reagent is used to inactivate heparin in patients receiving unfractionated heparin. Clotting characteristics are described by the functional parameters Clotting Time (CT), Speed of Clot Formation (CFT and alpha angle), Clot Firmness (A20/MCF) and Clot Lysis (LOT, ML, LI(x)). The NATEM assay is a semi-quantitative in vitro diagnostic assay used on the ROTEM® delta Thromboelastometry System to monitor the coagulation process, contact-activated by the surface of the measurement cell, in citrated whole blood specimens. Clotting characteristics are described by the functional parameters Clotting Time (CT), Speed of Clot Formation (CFT and alpha angle), Clot Firmness (A20/MCF) and Clot Lysis (LOT, ML, LI(x)). The star-TEM® Reagent is intended for use as a recalcification reagent in the NATEM and INTEM assays on the ROTEM® delta Thromboelastometry System.
Device Description
The ROTEM® delta Thromboelastometry System consists of a fourcolumn instrument (with integrated computer module, computer controlled electronic pipette, software), system reagents (in-TEM® hep-TEM®, star-TEM®), quality controls (ROTROL N, ROTROL P) and measurement cells (Cup and Pin pro). The blood sample is filled into a cylindrical cup. A pin oscillates permanently while it is immersed in the blood holding cup. The motion of the pin is detected by an optical detection system. Data are processed and analyzed by a computer with special software. If no clotting takes place, the movement of the pin is not obstructed. When a clot forms and attaches itself to the pin and cup surfaces, the movement is obstructed. As the clot becomes firmer, the rotational movement of the pin is reduced. The rotational movement of the pin is converted into an amplitude with the following definitions applying to the thromboelastogram (TEM): An amplitude of 0 mm means unobstructed rotation, while an amplitude of 100mm can be regarded as infinite firmness and blocking of the pin by the clot. The TEM amplitude is a measure of the clot firmness.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

In this study, the performance characteristics of the ROTEM® delta Whole Blood Haemostasis System (ROTEM®) were investigated and three assays were compared to the predicate device TEG® 5000 (TEG®) in support of a 510(k) submission for ROTEM®. The three ROTEM® tests NATEM, INTEM and HEPTEM were compared to their predicate tests on TEG®. The NATEM test represents the classical non-activated thrombelastographic method corresponding to the non-activated TEG®. The INTEM is activated by the intrinsic activator reagent ellagic acid corresponding to the intrinsically activated Kaolin test on TEG®. The HEPTEM is activated as the INTEM by ellagic acid and additionally contains heparinase for heparin neutralization corresponding to the Kaolin + Heparinase test of TEG®.

For all three tests, the ROTEM® was shown to have high precision in its primary parameter clot firmness and adequate precision in its secondary coagulation kinetics parameters.

The method comparison with TEG® showed equality of the clot firmness (MCF vs. MA). The kinetic parameters (CT vs. R, CFT vs. K, Alpha Angle vs. Angle) showed a linear correlation between ROTEM' and TEG® (r>0.8). As expected, slope of the correlation between the two systems was not equal to one and intercepts were not equal to zero in the kinetic parameters as the respective tests use different activation reagents and each test has its own distinct reference ranges. Heparin sensitivities of the respective intrinsic ROTEM® and TEG® tests also differed. ROTEM® was more sensitive for higher heparin concentrations than TEG® and allowed for an analysis of heparin concentrations normally seen during cardiovascular surgery; while TEG® was unable to demonstrate any coagulation in these cases.

Reference ranges for the ROTEM® tests NATEM and INTEM were estimated using CSL1 protocols on three clinical US reference sample aroups. The reference ranges determined showed no significant center-to-center deviations and were in accordance with the reference ranges determined in earlier studies on European reference sample groups.

Three interfering substances widely used in coagulation management, the antifibrinolytic drugs aprotinin, tranexamic acid and epsilon-amino caproic acid (EACA) were investigated. Dose-response curves were investigated for heparin, for dilution and for urokinase on the INTEM model in order to verify the diagnostic principles of thrombelastographic methods on ROTEM®.

For all three tests, the ROTEM® was shown to have high precision in its primary parameter clot firmness and adequate precision in its secondary coagulation kinetics parameters.

The method comparison with TEG® showed equality of the clot firmness (MCF vs. MA). The kinetic parameters (CT vs. R, CFT vs. K, Alpha Angle vs. Angle) showed a linear correlation between ROTEM' and TEG® (r>0.8). As expected, slope of the correlation between the two systems was not equal to one and intercepts were not equal to zero in the kinetic parameters as the respective tests use different activation reagents and each test has its own distinct reference ranges. Heparin sensitivities of the respective intrinsic ROTEM® and TEG® tests also differed.

Three interfering substances widely used in coagulation management, the antifibrinolytic drugs aprotinin, tranexamic acid and epsilon-amino caproic acid (EACA) were investigated. Dose-response curves were investigated for heparin, for dilution and for urokinase on the INTEM model in order to verify the diagnostic principles of thrombelastographic methods on ROTEM®.

In summary, ROTEM® is a precise Whole Blood Haemostasis System with the typical performance characteristics of a thrombelastographic method (aprotinin interference on the contact activated and intrinsically activated tests, heparin sensitivity of the intrinsic test and sensitivity to dilution and lysis induced by urokinase in-vitro). Its reference ranges are reproducible from center to center. The method comparison with TEG® shows equality of the primary parameter clot firmness and a linear regression and good correlation in the secondary kinetic parameters. In comparison to the TEG® the ROTEM® is optimized for a rapid diagnosis (employing stronger activation for shorter activation and test times) accompanied by a shift of the detection range of heparin in the intrinsically activated test.

In aggregate the data presented in this report demonstrate that the ROTEM® system and the three assays described are substantially equivalent to the predicate TEG® System and corresponding assays.

8. Conclusion (Statement of Equivalence)

The data and information provided in this submission support a substantial equivalence determination, and, therefore, clearance of the 510(k) premarket notification for the ROTEM® delta Thromboelastometry System.

The hep-TEM® reagent is used to inactivate heparin in patients receiving unfractionated heparin. Clotting characteristics are described by the functional parameters Clotting Time (CT), Speed of Clot Formation (CFT and alpha angle), Clot Firmness (A20/MCF) and Clot Lysis (LOT, ML, LI(x)).

The indication for ROTEM® delta use is with adult patients where an evaluation of their blood coagulation properties is desired. Coagulations with the ROTEM® delta are commonly used to assess clinical conditions in organ transplantation, cardiovascular surgery, cardiology procedures and trauma to assess post-operative hemorrhage and / or thrombosis.
