Intended Use
The NxStage Dosing Calculator is intended to provide chronic hemodialysis prescription options with the NxStage System One and Cartridge with pre-attached dialyzer based on patient and treatment parameters. With a specified set of algorithms, it automatically performs calculations that are typically done by a physician or licensed healthcare practitioner. The algorithms used have been established and documented in scientific literature.
Device Description
The NxStage Dosing Calculator is a software modeling program designed to assist physicians and licensed healthcare practitioners in prescribing chronic hemodialysis therapy with the NxStage System One and NxStage Cartridge with pre-attached dialyzer. It allows physicians and licensed healthcare practitioners to determine a range of appropriate treatment frequencies, treatment durations, and therapy fluid volumes. The program incorporates formulas that have been published in peer reviewed journals of medicine and models treatment parameters for a range of possible treatment frequencies, volumes, and durations. This is a tool only and does not replace the need for the physician or licensed healthcare practitioner to make an independent determination of the therapy best suited for the patient.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description explicitly states the device uses "specified set of algorithms" and "formulas that have been published in peer reviewed journals," which are characteristic of traditional software calculations rather than AI/ML. There is no mention of learning, training data, or adaptive capabilities.

No
The device is a software calculator that assists in prescribing hemodialysis and does not directly provide therapy.

No

The device is a software tool designed to calculate and suggest hemodialysis prescription options based on established algorithms and patient parameters. It assists practitioners in prescribing therapy but does not diagnose a medical condition.

Yes

The device description explicitly states it is a "software modeling program" and the performance studies focus on software readiness, design review, and usability, without mentioning any hardware components or their validation.

Based on the provided information, the NxStage Dosing Calculator is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide chronic hemodialysis prescription options based on patient and treatment parameters. It assists in calculating treatment frequencies, durations, and fluid volumes. This is related to treatment planning and management, not the diagnosis of a disease or condition based on in vitro examination of specimens.
  • Device Description: It's described as a software modeling program that performs calculations typically done by a physician or licensed healthcare practitioner. It uses published formulas to model treatment parameters. This aligns with a clinical decision support tool or a treatment planning aid, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status based on such analysis.

In summary, the NxStage Dosing Calculator is a software tool designed to aid healthcare professionals in planning and prescribing hemodialysis treatment, which falls outside the scope of In Vitro Diagnostics.

§ 876.5820 Hemodialysis system and accessories.

(a)
Identification. A hemodialysis system and accessories is a device that is used as an artificial kidney system for the treatment of patients with renal failure or toxemic conditions and that consists of an extracorporeal blood system, a conventional dialyzer, a dialysate delivery system, and accessories. Blood from a patient flows through the tubing of the extracorporeal blood system and accessories to the blood compartment of the dialyzer, then returns through further tubing of the extracorporeal blood system to the patient. The dialyzer has two compartments that are separated by a semipermeable membrane. While the blood is in the blood compartment, undesirable substances in the blood pass through the semipermeable membrane into the dialysate in the dialysate compartment. The dialysate delivery system controls and monitors the dialysate circulating through the dialysate compartment of the dialyzer.(1) The extracorporeal blood system and accessories consists of tubing, pumps, pressure monitors, air foam or bubble detectors, and alarms to keep blood moving safely from the blood access device and accessories for hemodialysis (§ 876.5540) to the blood compartment of the dialyzer and back to the patient.
(2) The conventional dialyzer allows a transfer of water and solutes between the blood and the dialysate through the semipermeable membrane. The semipermeable membrane of the conventional dialyzer has a sufficiently low permeability to water that an ultrafiltration controller is not required to prevent excessive loss of water from the patient's blood. This conventional dialyzer does not include hemodialyzers with the disposable inserts (Kiil type) (§ 876.5830) or dialyzers of high permeability (§ 876.5860).
(3) The dialysate delivery system consists of mechanisms that monitor and control the temperature, conductivity, flow rate, and pressure of the dialysate and circulates dialysate through the dialysate compartment of the dialyzer. The dialysate delivery system includes the dialysate concentrate for hemodialysis (liquid or powder) and alarms to indicate abnormal dialysate conditions. This dialysate delivery system does not include the sorbent regenerated dialysate delivery system for hemodialysis (§ 876.5600), the dialysate delivery system of the peritoneal dialysis system and accessories (§ 876.5630), or the controlled dialysate delivery system of the high permeability hemodialysis system § 876.5860).
(4) Remote accessories to the hemodialysis system include the unpowered dialysis chair without a scale, the powered dialysis chair without a scale, the dialyzer holder set, dialysis tie gun and ties, and hemodialysis start/stop tray.
(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (performance standards) for hemodialysis systems and all accessories directly associated with the extracorporeal blood system and the dialysate delivery system.(2) Class I for other accessories of the hemodialysis system remote from the extracorporeal blood system and the dialysate delivery system, such as the unpowered dialysis chair, hemodialysis start/stop tray, dialyzer holder set, and dialysis tie gun and ties. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.

Dear Gregor Dzialas:

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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.
