No
The document describes a physical medical device (dialyzer) and its materials, intended use, and performance testing related to risk management and validation. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is used for hemodialysis treatment for patients with renal failure, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No

The device is a dialyzer used for hemodialysis treatment for patients with renal failure. It is a treatment device, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical device constructed of hollow fiber membranes and plastic casing, intended for hemodialysis treatment. It is not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "hemodialysis treatment of patients who have chronic or acute renal failure." This is a therapeutic treatment performed directly on the patient's blood, not a test performed on a sample outside the body to diagnose or monitor a condition.
  • Device Description: The device is a "hollow fiber dialyzer" which is a component of a hemodialysis machine used to filter blood. This is a physical process, not a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) for specific analytes.
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
    • Using reagents or assays.

The mention of "tested in vitro under single use conditions" refers to testing the device's performance characteristics in a laboratory setting, not its use as an IVD.

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

Asahi's device evaluation studies and overall process for managing medical device risk, the company has performed a risk analysis using procedures based on ISO 14971(2007) "Medical Devices - Application of Risk Management to Medical Devices". The risk analysis method used to assess the impact of the modification was Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA). Design validation or where appropriate, design verification, and process validation based on the result of risk analysis and design input were performed to verify those modifications. All test results meet the acceptance criteria, and proved that those modifications to be appropriate.

§ 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.”
