Intended Use
The LIFEBRIDGE SYSTEM is indicated for use as an extracorporeal blood oxygenation system for patients needing short term, 6 hours or less, cardiac and/or pulmonary support.
Device Description
The LIFE.BRIDGE SYSTEM is a compact, pre-assembled, modular system consisting of: 1. Patient module housing an extracorporeal circuit comprised of several previously 510k-cleared devices. The circuit includes a rigid reservoir bag, a centrifugal pump, oxygenator, arterial filter, active air management system, tubing and connectors. 2. Sensors, including flow, pressure, level and bubble to read system parameters. 3. Control module that contains the electronics and user interface. 4. Base module that contains a touch screen, the main power connection and acts as a stable frame for the system. The modification to the current Lifebridge System is to exchange the current oxygenator, BioCor 200, used in the patient module, for the Medtronic Affinity® NT oxygenator. The Affinity NTC Oxygenator is available with either a Carmeda® BioActive surface coating or a Trillium Biopassive surface coating.
More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical extracorporeal blood oxygenation system with sensors and a control module, but there is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The modification is a simple component exchange.

Yes

Explanation: The device is an extracorporeal blood oxygenation system intended for cardiac and/or pulmonary support, which directly treats a medical condition.

No

The device is an extracorporeal blood oxygenation system for cardiac and/or pulmonary support, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one. It includes sensors to read system parameters, but these are for monitoring the system's operation, not for diagnosing a patient's condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components including a patient module with an extracorporeal circuit, sensors, a control module, and a base module with a touch screen. The modification described is the exchange of a hardware component (oxygenator).

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's an "extracorporeal blood oxygenation system for patients needing short term... cardiac and/or pulmonary support." This describes a device that directly interacts with the patient's blood outside the body for therapeutic purposes (oxygenation and support), not for diagnosing a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details components like a pump, oxygenator, filters, and sensors that are all involved in the process of circulating and oxygenating blood, not in analyzing biological samples for diagnostic information.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition.

Therefore, the LIFEBRIDGE SYSTEM, as described, falls under the category of a therapeutic medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 870.4360 Nonroller-type blood pump.

(a)
Nonroller-type cardiopulmonary and circulatory bypass blood pump —(1)Identification. A nonroller-type cardiopulmonary and circulatory bypass blood pump is a prescription device that uses a method other than revolving rollers to pump the blood through an extracorporeal circuit for periods lasting less than 6 hours for the purpose of providing either:(i) Full or partial cardiopulmonary bypass (
i.e., circuit includes an oxygenator) during open surgical procedures on the heart or great vessels; or(ii) Temporary circulatory bypass for diversion of flow around a planned disruption of the circulatory pathway necessary for open surgical procedures on the aorta or vena cava.
(2)
Classification —Class II (special controls). The special controls for this device are:(i) Non-clinical performance testing must perform as intended over the intended duration of use and demonstrate the following: Operating parameters, dynamic blood damage, heat generation, air entrapment, mechanical integrity, and durability/reliability;
(ii) The patient-contacting components of the device must be demonstrated to be biocompatible;
(iii) Sterility and shelf life testing must demonstrate the sterility of patient-contacting components and the shelf life of these components; and
(iv) Labeling must include information regarding the duration of use, and a detailed summary of the device- and procedure-related complications pertinent to use of the device.
(b)
Nonroller-type temporary ventricular support blood pump —(1)Identification. A nonroller-type temporary ventricular support blood pump is a prescription device that uses any method resulting in blood propulsion to provide the temporary ventricular assistance required for support of the systemic and/or pulmonary circulations during periods when there is ongoing or anticipated hemodynamic instability due to immediately reversible alterations in ventricular myocardial function resulting from mechanical or physiologic causes. Duration of use would be less than 6 hours.(2)
Classification. Class III (premarket approval).(c)
Date premarket approval application (PMA) or notice of completion of product development protocol (PDP) is required. A PMA or notice of completion of a PDP is required to be filed with FDA on or before September 8, 2015, for any nonroller-type temporary ventricular support blood pump that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976, or that has, on or before September 8, 2015, been found to be substantially equivalent to any nonroller-type temporary ventricular support blood pump that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976. Any other nonroller-type temporary ventricular support blood pump shall have an approved PMA or declared completed PDP in effect before being placed in commercial distribution.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION:

The LIFE.BRIDGE SYSTEM is a compact, pre-assembled, modular system consisting of:

  1. Patient module housing an extracorporeal circuit comprised of several previously 510k-cleared devices. The circuit includes a rigid reservoir bag, a centrifugal pump, oxygenator, arterial filter, active air management system, tubing and connectors.

  2. Sensors, including flow, pressure, level and bubble to read system parameters.

  1. Control module that contains the electronics and user interface.

  2. Base module that contains a touch screen, the main power connection and acts as a stable frame for the system.

The modification to the current Lifebridge System is to exchange the current oxygenator, BioCor 200, used in the patient module, for the Medtronic Affinity® NT oxygenator. The Affinity NTC Oxygenator is available with either a Carmeda® BioActive surface coating or a Trillium Biopassive surface coating.

INDICATIONS FOR USE:

The LIFEBRIDGE SYSTEM is indicated for use as an extracorporeal blood oxygenation system for patients needing short term, 6 hours or less, cardiac and/or pulmonary support.

STATEMENT OF TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS COMPARISON:

This "Special 510(k)" is being submitted for a modification to the patient module of the Lifebridge System. The modification is to exchange one 510(k) cleared oxygenator for another. Both are hollow fiber membrane oxygenators cleared for short-term cardio-pulmonary support up to 6 hrs.

The major differences between the oxygenators are availability and a surface coating.

The Medtronic Affinity® NT oxygenator provides a surface coating to the large surface area of the oxygenator and the BioCor oxygenator does not. The coating can be nither Carmeda® Bioactive Surface coating or Trillium Biopassive Surface coating.

The modification has been implemented through adherence to Design Controls. Risks posed by the change have been identified and analyzed. Measures to reduce any possible risks hovod been identified. Performance testing has been carried out to validate the mitigations and to ensure that the change to the patient module is safe, does not create any new risks and that performance of the modified module is equivalent to that of the original.
