The Capiox® NX19 Oxygenator with Integrated Arterial Filter and UltraPrime™ Technology is intended to be used to exchange gases between blood and a gaseous environment to satisfy the gas exchange needs of adult and small adult patients during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery.
The integrated arterial filter is intended to filter non-biologic particles and emboli and to facilitate air bubble removal from the blood flowing through the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit. The integrated heat exchanger is used to warm or cool blood and/or perfusion fluid as it flows through the device.
The hardshell reservoir is used to store blood during extra-corporeal circulation from the venous line and the cardiotomy line. The reservoir contains a venous section that is comprised of a filter and defoamer to facilitate air bubble removal. The cardiotomy section of the reservoir contains a filter to remove particulate matter and a defoamer to facilitate air bubble removal. The 4-liter reservoir may be used for Vacuum Assisted Drainage procedures and Post-Operative Chest Drainage Procedures.
The Capiox® NX19 Oxygenator with Integrated Arterial Filter and UltraPrime™ Technology is for use with patients when the required blood flow rate will not exceed 8.0 L/min.
The Capiox® NX19 Oxygenator with Integrated Arterial Filter and UltraPrime™ Technology can be used in procedures lasting up to 6 hours.
The Capiox® NX19 Oxygenator utilizes porous fiber technology to facilitate the transfer of gases between a blood-phase environment and a gas-phase environment for the intent of satisfying the gas exchange needs of a patient during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. A fiber bundle offers the porous membrane surface to sufficiently permit the movement of gases through the walls of the hollow fibers via diffusion.
The Capiox® NX19 Oxygenator device has an integrated heat exchanger that is comprised of Polyethylene Terephthalate tubes arranged in a cylindrical shape. The circulating blood contacts the exterior surface of these tubes. Temperature-controlled water distributed from an external water bath fills the interior of the tubes. The heat exchanger material permits heat transfer to occur across the walls of the heat exchanger tubes to achieve the necessary temperature of the circulating blood.
The Capiox® NX19 Oxygenator device can be operated at flow rates up to 8 liters per minute (1/min) and at a minimum flow rate of 2.0 liters per minute (1/min) or 0.5 liters per minute (1/min) for up to 2 hours.
The integrated arterial filter of the Capiox® NX19 Oxygenator device relies upon mechanical entrapment of particulates and emboli within the filter mesh as a means to remove those particulates from the blood.
The Capiox® NX19 Oxygenator device also includes a 4-liter hardshell reservoir used to store blood during extra-corporeal circulation from the venous line and the cardiotomy line. The reservoir contains a venous section with a filter and defoamer and a cardiotomy section with a filter and defoamer.
This document describes the premarket notification (510(k)) for the Terumo Capiox NX19 Oxygenator with Integrated Arterial Filter and other components, seeking to demonstrate its substantial equivalence to a predicate device. This is NOT a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria in the context of an AI/ML medical device, but rather an FDA submission for a traditional medical device (oxygenator) based on non-clinical performance testing and comparison to a predicate device.
Therefore, I cannot fulfill the request to provide information regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving device performance as if it were an AI/ML medical device submission, as the provided text pertains to a traditional medical device submission. The concepts of "test set," "ground truth," "expert adjudication," "MRMC studies," "human readers improve with AI," and "standalone algorithm performance" are not applicable here.
However, I can extract the acceptance criteria and performance data for the physical medical device based on the provided text, reinterpreting "acceptance criteria" as the performance benchmarks established by comparison to predicate/reference devices.
Re-interpretation of Acceptance Criteria and Performance for the Terumo Capiox NX19 Oxygenator:
The document states that Terumo conducted in-vitro performance evaluations to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate Capiox FX25 Advance Oxygenator. The acceptance criteria essentially infer that the performance of the NX19 must be "substantially equivalent" to or better than the predicate and reference devices for various functional parameters.
Here's a breakdown of what can be inferred, framed as closely as possible to the requested structure, though with caveats for the fundamental difference in device type:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Performance Metric | Acceptance Criteria (Inferred from Predicate/Reference) | Reported Device Performance (NX19) |
|---|---|---|
| Gas Transfer and Pressure Drop | Substantially equivalent to predicate Capiox FX25 Advance Oxygenator and reference devices (Sorin Inspire 8F, Terumo Capiox NX19 K172071). | "Similar gas exchange performance can be achieved with a lower blood volume." "The Capiox® NX19 Oxygenator device can be operated at flow rates up to 8 liters per minute (l/min) and at a minimum flow rate of 2.0 liters per minute (l/min) or 0.5 liters per minute (l/min) for up to 2 hours." (Specific quantitative values are not provided in this summary, but the claim is for substantial equivalence). |
| Heat Exchanger Performance | Substantially equivalent to predicate Capiox FX25 Advance Oxygenator and reference devices. | "This increased surface area [of 0.43m² in NX19 vs 0.2m² in FX25] ensures that adequate (equivalent) heat exchange is achieved." (Claim of equivalence despite material/surface area difference). |
| Hemolysis Performance | Substantially equivalent to predicate Capiox FX25 Advance Oxygenator and reference devices. | Testing conducted. (Specific quantitative results not provided in this summary, but general statement of performance: "The Terumo Cardiovascular Systems Corporation Capiox® NX19 Oxygenator exhibits performance features that are deemed "substantially equivalent" to the predicate Capiox® FX25 Advance Oxygenator - K151791.") |
| Air Removal Performance | Substantially equivalent to predicate Capiox FX25 Advance Oxygenator and reference devices. | NX19 utilizes pre-HE microporous fiber, oxygenator microporous fiber, and a purge port; predicate relies on oxygenator microporous fiber and purge port. (Implied improved or equivalent performance). |
| Capnography Assessment | Substantially equivalent to predicate Capiox FX25 Advance Oxygenator and reference devices. | Testing conducted. (Specific quantitative results not provided). |
| Connection Strength of Ports | Substantially equivalent to predicate Capiox FX25 Advance Oxygenator and reference devices. Also, reservoir testing from K151791. | Testing conducted. (Specific quantitative results not provided). |
| Filtration Efficiency | Substantially equivalent to predicate Capiox FX25 Advance Oxygenator and reference devices. | The integrated arterial filter relies on "mechanical entrapment of particulates and emboli within the filter mesh." Testing conducted. (Specific quantitative results not provided). |
| Mechanical Integrity | Substantially equivalent to predicate Capiox FX25 Advance Oxygenator and reference devices. | Testing conducted. (Specific quantitative results not provided). |
| Luer Port Assessment | Substantially equivalent to predicate Capiox FX25 Advance Oxygenator and reference devices. | Testing conducted. (Specific quantitative results not provided). |
| NX Blood Compatibility | Biocompatible, per ISO 10993 (External Communicating Devices, Circulating Blood, Limited Exposure ≤ 24 hours). | Blood contacting materials found to be biocompatible. |
| Sterility | Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10⁻⁶. | Sterilization conditions validated to provide SAL of 10⁻⁶. Ethylene oxide residues will not exceed maximum limits. |
| Reservoir Testing (Air Handling) | Supported by testing from predicate K151791, as it's the exact same reservoir. | Testing presented in K151791 and Appendix D. |
| Reservoir Testing (Hemolysis) | Supported by testing from predicate K151791, as it's the exact same reservoir. | Testing presented in K151791 and Appendix D. |
| Reservoir Testing (Venous Defoaming) | Supported by testing from predicate K151791, as it's the exact same reservoir. | Testing presented in K151791 and Appendix D. "The reservoir contains a venous section that is comprised of a filter and defoamer to facilitate air bubble removal." |
| Reservoir Testing (Pressure Drop) | Supported by testing from predicate K151791, as it's the exact same reservoir. | Testing presented in K151791 and Appendix D. |
| Reservoir Testing (Clotting) | Supported by testing from predicate K151791, as it's the exact same reservoir. | Testing presented in K151791 and Appendix D. |
| Reservoir Testing (Connection Strength) | Supported by testing from predicate K151791, as it's the exact same reservoir. | Testing presented in K151791 and Appendix D. |
| Priming Volume | Lower than predicate (260mL for FX25). | 185mL, which is lower than predicate FX25 (260mL). Reduces amount of blood removed and hemodilution. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size: Not explicitly stated as "sample size" in the context of an AI test set. The document refers to "in-vitro performance evaluations" and "verification testing." The number of units tested for each in-vitro evaluation (e.g., how many oxygenators were subjected to gas transfer tests, hemolysis, etc.) is not detailed in this summary.
- Data Provenance: The studies were in-vitro performance evaluations conducted by Terumo Cardiovascular Systems. They are not clinical studies involving patients. The provenance is internal company testing to demonstrate substantial equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices. It is a prospective set of tests designed for this 510(k) submission.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications
- This is not applicable to this type of traditional medical device submission. Ground truth, in the AI/ML sense, is not established by human experts reviewing data for the device's performance. The "ground truth" for these physical tests is typically the measured physical performance against engineering specifications or established performance of the predicate device.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- Not applicable. There is no "adjudication" in the sense of reconciling expert opinions for test set ground truth as would be found in an AI/ML study.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done
- No. This type of study is relevant for AI/ML diagnostic devices where human readers (clinicians) interact with the AI. This is a physical oxygenator. The document explicitly states: "Clinical studies involving patients are not necessary to demonstrate substantial equivalence of the subject device to the predicate device."
6. If a Standalone (i.e. Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done
- Not applicable. This concept pertains directly to AI/ML algorithms, not a physical medical device like an oxygenator. The "standalone performance" is the device's measured in-vitro performance.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
- The "ground truth" for the performance comparison is the established performance characteristics of the legally marketed predicate device (Capiox FX25 Advance Oxygenator - K151791) and other reference devices (Sorin Inspire 8F Oxygenator - K121536, and Terumo Capiox NX19 - K172071).
- These are based on previously accepted engineering and performance specifications and in-vitro testing results for those devices.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
- Not applicable. This device is not an AI/ML algorithm that is "trained" on data. It is a manufactured physical product.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
- Not applicable. There is no "training set" or "ground truth" establishment in the context of machine learning for this device. The design and materials are based on engineering principles and knowledge of the predicate device.

Intended Use
The Capiox® NX19 Oxygenator with Integrated Arterial Filter and UltraPrime™ Technology is intended to be used to exchange gases between blood and a gaseous environment to satisfy the gas exchange needs of adult and small adult patients during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery.
The integrated arterial filter is intended to filter non-biologic particles and emboli and to facilitate air bubble removal from the blood flowing through the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit. The integrated heat exchanger is used to warm or cool blood and/or perfusion fluid as it flows through the device.
The hardshell reservoir is used to store blood during extra-corporeal circulation from the venous line and the cardiotomy line.

The Capiox® NX19 Oxygenator with Integrated Arterial Filter and UltraPrime™ Technology can be used in procedures lasting up to 6 hours.
Principles of Operation and Technology
The Capiox® NX19 Oxygenator utilizes porous fiber technology to facilitate the transfer of gases between a blood-phase environment and a gas-phase environment for the intent of satisfying the gas exchange needs of a patient during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. A fiber bundle offers the porous membrane surface to sufficiently permit the movement of gases through the walls of the hollow fibers via diffusion.
The Capiox® NX19 Oxygenator device has an integrated heat exchanger that is comprised of Polyethylene Terephthalate tubes arranged in a cylindrical shape. The circulating blood contacts the exterior surface of these tubes. Temperature-controlled water distributed from an external water bath fills the interior of the tubes. The heat exchanger material permits heat transfer to occur across the walls of the heat exchanger tubes to achieve the necessary temperature of the circulating blood.
The Capiox® NX19 Oxygenator device can be operated at flow rates up to 8 liters per minute (1/min) and at a minimum flow rate of 2.0 liters per minute (1/min) or 0.5 liters per minute (1/min) for up to 2 hours.
The integrated arterial filter of the Capiox® NX19 Oxygenator device relies upon mechanical entrapment of particulates and emboli within the filter mesh as a means to remove those particulates from the blood.

The operation and technology employed by the new NX19 Oxygenator device are consistent with the operation and technology of the predicate FX25 Advance Oxygenator device.
Design and Materials
The primary differences in the design and materials between the Capiox® NX19 Oxygenator and the predicate device are:
- · Reduction in the diameter of the polypropylene oxygenator fibers vs. the predicate;
- · Higher Molecular weight of Polymethoxyethyl acrylate (PMEA) solution vs. the predicate;
- · Difference in the materials of construct of the heat exchanger plastic vs stainless steel;
- · The NX19 has a lower priming volume vs. the predicate device.
- · The NX19 utilizes pre-heat exchanger vent fiber to facilitate air removal during priming
Reduction in diameter of the oxygenator fibers:
The Capiox® NX19 Oxygenator utilizes an oxygenator fiber that has a diameter approximately 40% smaller than that of the predicate device. This smaller diameter allows for a larger percentage of the blood in the oxygenator to be in contact with the surface area of the fibers. By increasing this contact, similar gas exchange performance can be achieved with a lower blood volume. The smaller fiber diameter allows the NX19 oxygenator to have a surface of approximately 1.9m² compared to the approximately 2.5m² surface area of the predicate device while still achieving equivalent gas exchange performance.
Higher Molecular weight of Polymethoxyethyl acrylate (PMEA) solution:
The X-Coating™ solution utilized to coat the NX19 Oxygenator varies from the solution that is used to coat the predicate device. The NX19 X-Coating™ solution is Polymethoxyethyl acrylate (PMEA). This solution has a molecular weight of 400kDa. The solution for the predicate device is also PMEA solution, but has a lower molecular weight. The predicate X-Coating™ has a molecular weight of 85kDa. This increased molecular weight with the NX19 device allows for increased stability of the coating when applied to the polypropylene fibers of the oxygenator bundle.
Difference in the materials of construct of the heat exchanger – plastic vs stainless steel:
The material and the surface area of the heat exchanger in the Capiox® NX19 Oxygenator varies from the predicate device. The heat exchanger tubes in the NX19 Oxygenator are made of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) plastic material differs from the stainless steel bellows in the heat exchanger of the predicate device. The surface area of the PET heat exchanger tubes is 0.43m² in the NX19, which is a larger surface area than the 0.2m² in the predicate FX25. This increased surface area ensures that adequate (equivalent) heat exchange is achieved.
The NX19 has a lower priming volume vs. the predicate device:
The prime volume of the Capiox® NX19 Oxygenator is 185mL, which is lower than the 260mL priming volume of the predicate FX25 device. The reduced prime volume helps reduce the amount of blood that needs to be removed from a patient which, in turn, reduces the need for hemo-dilution.
{6}------------------------------------------------
Image /page/6/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for Terumo. The logo consists of a red swoosh above the word "TERUMO" in green, block letters. The swoosh is angled upwards from left to right.
Both the new NX19 Oxygenator and the predicate FX25 Oxygenator are comprised of the same generic materials, and they both feature common design characteristics. The notable differences in materials and design (as identified above) do not raise any issues of safety or effectiveness. Both devices are deemed to be clinically acceptable.
The NX19 utilizes pre-heat exchanger vent fiber to facilitate air removal during priming To facilitate air removal during priming, the NX19 utilizes pre-HE microporous fiber, oxygenator microporous fiber and a purge port. The FX25 predicate device relies on oxygenator microporous fiber and a purge port for facilitation of air removal during priming (without the presence of pre-HE microporous fiber).
Performance:
Terumo Cardiovascular Systems has conducted in-vitro performance evaluations for the purpose of demonstrating that the Capiox® NX19 Oxygenator is substantially equivalent to the predicate the Capiox® FX25 Advance Oxygenator. Clinical studies involving patients are not necessary to demonstrate substantial equivalence of the subject device to the predicate device. Substantial equivalence is demonstrated with the following in-vitro performance evaluations:
- Gas Transfer and Pressure Drop Performance ●
- Heat Exchanger Performance o
- Hemolysis Performance •
- . Air Removal Performance
- . Capnography Assessment
- Connection Strength of Ports .
- Filtration Efficiency .
- Mechanical Integrity .
- Luer Port Assessment .
- NX Blood Compatibility .
In addition to the verification testing listed above conducted on the oxygenator, the reservoir testing included in K151791 supports the increased maximum flow rate of the reservoir. The reservoir to be offered with the NX19 oxygenator is the EXACT SAME RESERVOIR that is offered with the FX25 and was cleared in K151791. The verification testing listed below was conducted on the reservoir and presented in K151791. This testing is also presented in Appendix D of this submission:
- . Testing of Air Handling
- Testing of Hemolysis .
- Testing of Venous Defoaming .
- Testing of Pressure Drop .
- Testing of Clotting .
- Testing of Connection Strength .
The Terumo Cardiovascular Systems Corporation Capiox® NX19 Oxygenator exhibits performance features that are deemed "substantially equivalent" to the predicate Capiox® FX25 Advance Oxygenator - K151791.
{7}------------------------------------------------
Image /page/7/Picture/0 description: The image shows the Terumo logo. The logo consists of a red swoosh above the word "TERUMO" in green, block letters. The swoosh is angled upwards from left to right.
In addition to the above listed predicate device, Terumo has identified the Sorin Inspire 8F Oxygenator with integrated arterial filter and hardshell reservoir (K121536) and the Terumo Capiox NX19 Oxygenator with Integrated Arterial Filter (K172071) as reference devices for performance tests and other applicable testing. Because these devices share similar technological characteristics to the subject device, Terumo felt it was appropriate to use the Inspire 8F and Capiox NX19 as reference devices when setting the acceptance criteria for performance testing and other relevant tests.
The Terumo Cardiovascular Systems Corporation Capiox® NX19 Oxygenator exhibits performance features that are deemed "substantially equivalent" to the reference devices.
Labeling
The subject Capiox® NX19 Oxygenator device and the predicate Capiox® FX25 Advance device are offered to the user with adequate Instructions for Use and other product labeling as required by regulation. While the labeling for the NX19 will differ from that of the FX25 with respect to content, the same required elements are present for both devices. Less information will be present on the product label for the NX19 as compared to the FX25. However, the information removed from the product label will be incorporated into a new pouch label. The contents of the box labels will remain the same. Refer to Section 12 - Labeling for more details.
Substantial Equivalence Statement
The Terumo Cardiovascular Systems Corporation Capiox® NX19 Oxygenator device (with 4liter Reservoir) and the predicate Capiox® FX25 Advance device (with 4-liter Reservoir) are substantially equivalent in intended use, principles of operation and technology, design, materials, performance and labeling. The noted differences between the subject devices and the predicate devices do not raise new issues of safety and effectiveness.
The intended use and product indications of the new NX19 Oxygenator device are consistent with those of the predicate FX25 Advance Oxygenator device.
Additional Safety Information
- Sterilization conditions have been validated to provide a Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of . 10%. Terumo further asserts that the ethylene oxide residues will not exceed the maximum residue limits at the time of product distribution.
- . Terumo maintains biocompatibility studies as recommended in the FDA Guidance Document (6/16/16): Use of International Standard ISO 10993, "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices - Part 1: Evaluation and Testing within a Risk Management Process." [External Communicating Devices, Circulating Blood, Limited Exposure (≤ 24 hours) Contact Duration]. The blood contacting materials were found to be biocompatible.
