Intended Use
To be used only for blood withdrawal. The blood sampling system is indicated for use on patients requiring periodic withdrawal of blood samples from arterial and central line catheters, including peripherally inserted central venous catheters, which are attached to pressure monitoring lines.
Device Description
The Edwards Venous/Arterial Blood Management Protection (VAMP) Systems are sterile, single use devices that provide a safe and convenient method for the withdrawal of blood samples when attached to pressure monitoring lines. The VAMP Plus device is a needleless closed blood sampling system designed to reduce infection, needle sticks, and blood waste associated with blood sampling. One family of VAMP product line, the VAMP Plus blood sampling system, is the subject of this submission. The VAMP Plus Venous/Arterial Blood Management Protection System (VAMP Plus) is designed for use with disposable and reusable pressure transducers and for connection to central line catheters (inclusive of peripherally inserted central catheters and central venous catheters) and arterial catheters where the system can be flushed clear after sampling. The VAMP Plus blood sampling system is used for the drawing and retention of heparinized/diluted blood (or clearing volume) from the catheter or cannula within the line, allowing undiluted blood samples to be drawn from an in-line sampling site. At the completion of the sample draw, the mixed heparin and blood solution (clearing volume) is reinfused into the patient to reduce fluid loss to the patient.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical and fluid management aspects of blood sampling, with no mention of AI or ML technologies. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".

No.
The device is used for blood withdrawal and sampling, which is a diagnostic or monitoring function, not a therapeutic intervention.

No

This device is designed for blood withdrawal and sampling, which is a procedure to collect biological samples, but it does not perform any diagnostic analysis itself. Its purpose is to facilitate the collection of blood samples, which may then be used for diagnostic testing by other means.

No

The device description clearly states it is a sterile, single-use device that provides a method for blood withdrawal and is designed to reduce infection, needle sticks, and blood waste. It describes physical components like tubing and sampling sites, and the performance studies focus on physical characteristics and functionality, not software performance.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "To be used only for blood withdrawal." While blood is being withdrawn, the device itself is not performing any diagnostic testing on the blood in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the mechanics of blood withdrawal, sampling, and reinfusion. It describes a system for managing blood flow and obtaining samples, not for analyzing the blood.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device analyzing blood components, detecting biomarkers, or providing any diagnostic information based on the blood sample. The blood sample is intended to be taken for potential diagnostic testing, but the device itself is not performing that test.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies mentioned are related to the functional and physical integrity of the device (leak testing, pull testing, frequency response), not the accuracy or performance of a diagnostic test.

In summary, this device is a tool for obtaining a blood sample, which may then be used for in vitro diagnostic testing, but the device itself is not an IVD.

Dear Ye Kim:

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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products.

Device DescriptionThe Edwards Venous/Arterial Blood Management Protection (VAMP) Systems
are sterile, single use devices that provide a safe and convenient method for
the withdrawal of blood samples when attached to pressure monitoring lines.
The VAMP Plus device is a needleless closed blood sampling system designed
to reduce infection, needle sticks, and blood waste associated with blood
sampling. One family of VAMP product line, the VAMP Plus blood sampling
system, is the subject of this submission.
The VAMP Plus Venous/Arterial Blood Management Protection System (VAMP
Plus) is designed for use with disposable and reusable pressure transducers
and for connection to central line catheters (inclusive of peripherally inserted
central catheters and central venous catheters) and arterial catheters where the
system can be flushed clear after sampling. The VAMP Plus blood sampling
system is used for the drawing and retention of heparinized/diluted blood (or
clearing volume) from the catheter or cannula within the line, allowing undiluted
blood samples to be drawn from an in-line sampling site. At the completion of
the sample draw, the mixed heparin and blood solution (clearing volume) is
reinfused into the patient to reduce fluid loss to the patient.
To be used only for blood withdrawal.
Indications for
Use/Intended UseThe blood sampling system is indicated for use on patients requiring periodic
withdrawal of blood samples from arterial and central line catheters, including
peripherally inserted central catheters and central venous catheters, which are
attached to pressure monitoring lines.
Comparative
AnalysisThe subject device is identical to the predicate devices in terms of intended
use/ indications for use, and technology. The proposed changes to the device
include a change of sterilization method (100% Ethylene Oxide to E-beam
radiation); change in the PVC plasticizer from DEHP to the non-phthalate
plasticizer, 1, 2-cyclohexane dicarboxylic acid diisononyl ester (DINCH®) for
the tubing; update of product labeling to reflect changes in sterilization method
(from EO to E-beam radiation) and removal of phthalate symbol on all levels of
packaging; introduction of an additional sampling site, Luer Activated Sampling
Site (cleared in K173586) to replace the Z-site in some of the VAMP Plus
models. Testing was conducted to ensure that the change in sterilization
method and change in materials did not alter the performance of the VAMP
Plus blood sampling system. The subject VAMP Plus blood sampling system
has been shown to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices for its
intended use in hospitals and other appropriate clinical environments.
Functional/ Safety
TestingThe VAMP Plus blood sampling system has successfully passed functional and
performance testing, including packaging, shelf life, sterilization,
biocompatibility, chemical characterization and bench testing that includes
overpressure leak testing, negative leak testing, pressure tubing pull testing and
frequency response testing.
ConclusionThe VAMP Plus blood sampling system is substantially equivalent to the
predicate devices, the VAMP Plus Venous/Arterial Blood Management
Protection Systems (K161962) and the VAMP Venous/Arterial Blood
Management Protection System (VAMP Adult) (K173586).
