Intended Use
The Model ORCA-2016CN is a portable and ambulatory Patient Isolation Unit (PIU) designed to prevent chemical and particulate (biological and radiological) cross-contamination between an enclosed contaminated patient and the external environment during evacuation and transport activities.
Device Description
The Operational Rescue Containment Apparatus (ORCATM) Patient Isolation Unit, Model ORCA-2016CN, is a tubular, flexible, Patient Isolation Unit (PIU) for use during transport and evacuation of chemical and particulate (biological and radiological) contaminated patients who have been medically stabilized. Each unit employs clear windows to allow visual monitoring of the patient. The unit incorporates multiple glove arms for minimal medical intervention. The PIU's have a reinforced base mat with integrated carry straps and tethers to enable lifting and attachment to a Stokes litter for hoisting operations or a North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) litter for alternative transportation. Chamber airflow through the isolator and across the patient is provided by the blower from a Powered Air-Purifying Respirator (PAPR). Internal contaminated air in the PIU is vented out the exhaust ports which are fitted with two Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear (CBRN) filter cartridges, thus protecting the external environment from a contaminated patient.

This device is a patient isolation unit designed to prevent cross-contamination during transport, not to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical, tubular, flexible Patient Isolation Unit with windows, glove arms, a reinforced base mat, carry straps, tethers, exhaust ports, and filter cartridges. It also mentions performance testing involving physical attributes like hoisting, transport, permeation, liquid penetration, and weight lift capacity. There is no mention of software as a component or the primary function of the device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to prevent cross-contamination during patient transport and evacuation. This is a physical containment function, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical enclosure with features for patient monitoring and airflow, not equipment for analyzing biological specimens.
  • Lack of IVD-related information: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on physical properties like containment efficiency, liquid penetration, comfort, and weight capacity, which are relevant to a containment device, not an IVD.
  • Predicate Device: The predicate device (K052798; CAPSULS Patient Isolation Unit) is also a patient isolation unit, further supporting that this device falls under the category of patient containment/transport, not in vitro diagnostics.

In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. This device does not perform such tests.

Summary of Performance Studies

Operation system testing was successfully conducted on the ORCA™ PIU by the U.S. Coast Guard. This operational testing included hoisting and transport of the PIU with the test platform being a MH-60 helicopter. The PIU was hoisted multiple times at various altitudes (25/50/75/100 ft.) using a trail line to stabilize the stokes litter (video documentation is on file with the USCG). The results from this performance testing, to the satisfaction of the USCG, validated the "proof of concept" for using the PIU in USCG aircraft. The MH-60 generates 90 plus knots of downward rotor wash during a hover and this was deemed by the USCG as sufficient testing as the PIU is intended to be a one time use piece of equipment. USCG Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTP) for operational use of the PIU clearly articulates this requirement/limitation of the PIU. This includes the maximum flight duration allowed, DECON, training and maintenance. While a small boat could be used for transport of the PIU, the current CONOP uses a helicopter as this is the most extreme condition and most likely in the event we are transporting a contaminated patient.

Performance system testing was successfully conducted on the ORCA™ PIU by a third-party testing party under contract with the USGC. This performance testing included Chemical Agent Permeation (HD (distilled mustard) and GD (soman)), Liquid Penetration / Pathogen Passage, Human Use Comfort, and Weight Lift Testing.

PIU system permeation testing was performed in principle to those methods described in Institute of Environmental Sciences and Technology IEST- RP-CC001.3 (Ref 2) and MIL-STD-282 Method 102.9.1 (Ref 3) and demonstrated a containment efficiency (%) for both aerosols at a maximum 0.3 micron particle size exceeded the objective requirement. Liquid Penetration / Pathogen Passage testing was performed using methods described in ASTM F1671/F1671M-13: Standard Test Method for Resistance of Materials Used in Protective Clothing to Penetration by Blood-Borne Pathogens Using Phi-X174 Bacteriophage Penetration as a Test System. No detectable bacteriophage in the assay titer (i.e., 0 PFU/mL) was considered passing. The Bag Seam, Sleeve Seam, and Window Seam three materials passed liquid penetration testing.

Human interface comfort testing was performed using a test participant (TP) while being contained in the PIU for four hours. The participant was exposed to a matrix of six (6) temperature and RH% environments ranging from 65-90°F and 40 - 90% in a wind speed of 4 mph. Internal PIU temperature, RH%, CO2 and O2 levels, as well patient vitals and comfort levels were monitored over the four-hour test duration. The TP's vital signs were stable for the duration of the test with no indication of any heat stress or health related issue. Additionally, the TP reported no significant problems throughout the duration of the test.

The PIU weight lift capacity was tested under ISOVAC standard protocol procedure. The testing demonstrated the PIU handle strapping can hold the maximum test load of 480lb or a load of 137% of the stated maximum.

USCG Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTP) for operational use of the PIU clearly articulates this requirement/limitation of the PIU. This includes the maximum flight duration allowed, DECON, training and maintenance.
