Intended Use
The WAVES is intended to be used for the pulsatile hypothermic machine perfusion of kidneys for preservation, transportation, and eventual transplantation into a recipient.
Device Description
The WAVES is a transportable, self-contained renal preservation system, designed to support static monitoring and transportation of kidneys. The WAVES system provides controlled pulsatile kidney perfusion using oxygenated hypothermic physiologic solutions, and monitors, displays, trends, and saves important perfusion parameters, including: perfusate flow, temperature, pressure, and renal resistance. The WA VES system can be configured to signal an audio and visual alarm for user-selected limits. The WAVES is a two-part system comprising a 'control unit' for perfusion and monitoring of a single kidney, and a sterile, single-use, disposable 'cassette module' used to contain, refrigerate, and circulate perfusate to and through the kidney.

No
The description focuses on controlled pulsatile perfusion, monitoring of physiological parameters, and alarm functions, with no mention of AI or ML for analysis, prediction, or decision-making. The performance studies are related to pump, cooling, software validation, sterilization, and biomaterial testing, not AI/ML model performance.

Yes
The device is intended for the preservation, transportation, and eventual transplantation of kidneys, which directly supports a therapeutic intervention (transplantation). It actively maintains the viability of the organ, thus contributing to the therapeutic outcome for the recipient.

No

The device is intended for the preservation and transportation of kidneys for transplantation, not for diagnosing medical conditions in a patient. It monitors perfusion parameters to ensure the viability of the organ, which is a supportive and maintenance function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly outlines both a 'control unit' (hardware for perfusion and monitoring) and a sterile, single-use, disposable 'cassette module' (hardware for containing, refrigerating, and circulating perfusate). While software is mentioned for validation, the core device is a physical system with hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the preservation, transportation, and eventual transplantation of kidneys. This is a process related to organ handling and preparation for surgery, not for diagnosing a condition or obtaining information about a patient's health status from a sample.
  • Device Description: The device description focuses on the mechanical and monitoring aspects of perfusing and preserving the kidney. It describes a system for maintaining the viability of an organ outside the body, not for analyzing a biological sample to provide diagnostic information.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide diagnostic results. The parameters monitored (flow, temperature, pressure, resistance) are related to the perfusion process itself, not to the diagnostic state of the organ or the patient.

IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The WAVES device operates on an organ ex vivo (outside the living organism), but its purpose is preservation and preparation for transplantation, not diagnosis.

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

The WAVES perfusion control includes the perfusate control parameters, the perfusate pressure, the automatic features operated through the user interface and the cassette priming. The perfusion control of the WA VES has been evaluated through a pump performance testing and a software validation testing.

The WAVES hypothermic control includes the cassette mounting, the cooling method, the cooling duration and temperature and the heat exchanger. The hypothermic control of the WA VES has been evaluated through a cooling system performance testing and a software validation testing.

The WA VES disposable cassette module is provided sterile and labeled with an expiration date as the RM3 disposable cassette. The sterilization cvcle for the WAVES system has been validated in accordance with ISO 11135-1 requirements. The labeled shelf life of the WAVES cassette is supported through accelerated aging testing.

Differences between the WA VES and the predicates are related to the user interface and biomaterials used to construct the disposable cassette module. The software validation testing results have shown the user interface operates as expected. ISO 10993 compliant biomaterial testing has demonstrated that the new biomaterials are safe for their intended biocontact.

Results of evaluations did not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness when compared to the predicate devices and therefore the WAVES is substantially equivalent to the RM3 and the Lifeport predicates.

Substantial Equivalence and Summary of Studies

The WAVES device is substantially equivalent to the RM3 Renal Preservation System and the Lifeport Kidney Perfusion Transporter. All systems have substantially equivalent intended use and principle of operation. The subject and the two predicate devices are intended to maintain kidneys for transplantation by providing hypothermic physiologic perfusion using a single use, disposable cassette module and perfusion circuit.
