Intended Use
The Haemonetics Cell Saver® Elite™ Autotransfusion System and its related accessory components are intended for use to recover blood shed during or subsequent to an operation or as a result of trauma, processing the blood by a centrifugation and washing procedure, and pumping this processed red cell product to either a bag for gravity reinfusion into the patient or to the arterial line of an extracorporeal circuit for reinfusion into the patient. The intended use of the Sequestration Protocol is to collect an autologous, preoperative, platelet rich plasma product for reinfusion to the same patient within 6 hours of collection.
Device Description
The Cell Saver Elite Autotransfusion System is an evolution of the previously cleared Haemonetics Cell Saver Elite Autotransfusion System. The Cell Saver Elite System consists of a single use disposable equipment. One disposable set is used throughout an individual patient's surgical procedure and then discarded. The Cell Saver Elite System utilizes a unique bowl processing kit, but is compatible with Haemonetics standard reservoirs and A&A lines. The collected blood is processed through a centrifugal separation chamber (bowl) where RBCs are concentrated and then washed, removing unwanted substances such as hemolized cells, anticoagulant and irrigating fluids. The washed RBC product is available for return via a product bag to the patient. The Elite System is designed to perform plasma sequestration disposable in conjunction with an ancillary sequestration set prior to performing autotransfusion. The changes from the previously cleared Cell Saver Elite to the subject Cell Saver Elite system include a software change and a mechanical change to the pinch valve disposable sensor detection system.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on mechanical and software changes related to blood processing and does not mention AI or ML.

Yes
The device is used to process and reinfuse a patient's own blood and platelet-rich plasma, which directly contributes to the treatment and recovery of the patient.

No

The device is an autotransfusion system designed for processing and reinfusing blood, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of hardware components (centrifugal separation chamber, disposable equipment, pinch valve disposable sensor detection system) in addition to the software change.

Based on the provided information, the Haemonetics Cell Saver® Elite™ Autotransfusion System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The primary intended use is to recover, process, and reinfuse a patient's own blood shed during surgery or trauma. This is a therapeutic procedure involving the manipulation and return of blood to the same patient. While it involves processing blood, it's not for the purpose of diagnosing a disease or condition.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the mechanical process of separating and washing red blood cells for reinfusion. It doesn't describe any components or functions related to analyzing blood for diagnostic purposes.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Language: The document does not use language typically associated with IVD devices, such as "diagnosis," "detection," "measurement of analytes," or "clinical decision making based on test results."
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the efficiency of the blood processing (hematocrit, washout, recovery) and the characteristics of the processed blood product for reinfusion, not on the accuracy or reliability of a diagnostic test.
  • Key Metrics: The key metrics are related to the quality and quantity of the processed blood product (hematocrit, washout, recovery, platelet concentration), not diagnostic performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, PPV, or NPV.

In summary, the Haemonetics Cell Saver® Elite™ Autotransfusion System is a medical device used for blood salvage and autotransfusion, which is a therapeutic procedure, not a diagnostic one.

Dear Mr. Calder:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug. and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
