The SURDIAL DX Hemodialysis System is indicated for implementing hemodialysis treatments in patients with acute and chronic kidney (renal) failure. The system can be used in hospitals, healthcare facilities and outpatient dialysis centers when prescribed by a physician and used by qualified operators. The SURDIAL DX accommodates the use of both low flux and high flux hemodialysis.

Device Description

The SURDIAL DX Hemodialysis System is a single patient dialysis unit that incorporates the mechanism of mixing and producing of dialysate by quantitative mixing method and the mechanism of ultrafiltration control by use of a piston pump. The SURDIAL DX consists of 4 sections: Panel operating section, Blood circuit control section, Liquid circuit control section and Power source control section. CAN communication is used for communication between each section.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) Summary for the NIPRO SURDIAL DX Hemodialysis System, demonstrating its substantial equivalence to a predicate device. It details performance specifications, but it does not describe a study involving a test set with ground truth established by experts, MRMC studies, or standalone algorithm performance, as these are typically associated with artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) device submissions.

The "performance data" section in this document refers to engineering and quality assurance testing (biocompatibility, electrical safety, software verification, environmental testing, human factors) to ensure the device functions as intended and meets established safety standards for a hemodialysis machine. It does not describe a study that would involve a "test set" and "ground truth" derived from expert consensus in the context of diagnostic accuracy, which is what your questions imply.

Therefore, for aspects related to AI/ML device evaluations (e.g., test set sample size, expert consensus, MRMC studies, standalone performance, training set details), the information is not available in the provided text.

Here's a breakdown of the available information based on your request, focusing on the device's engineering and safety performance rather than diagnostic accuracy:

2. Sample Size for Test Set and Data Provenance

This document does not describe a "test set" in the context of an AI/ML diagnostic study with patient data. The "performance data" refers to validation testing of the device itself (e.g., electrical, mechanical, software functionality, biocompatibility). Therefore, there is no sample size of patient data or data provenance (country, retrospective/prospective) relevant to a diagnostic AI model study.

3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth

Not applicable. Ground truth from experts is not established for this type of device performance testing. The "ground truth" here is the engineering specification that the device must meet, tested through controlled experimental conditions in a lab.

4. Adjudication Method for Test Set

Not applicable. There is no expert adjudication for the engineering performance and safety tests described.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

No. This type of study is for evaluating the impact of AI assistance on human reader performance, typically in diagnostic imaging. The SURDIAL DX Hemodialysis System is a treatment device, not a diagnostic AI system, and this document does not refer to any such studies.

6. Standalone Performance (Algorithm Only)

Not applicable. This device is a hemodialysis machine. While it contains software, its "performance" is its ability to conduct hemodialysis treatments safely and effectively, not to perform a standalone diagnostic algorithm. The software verification and validation section confirms software functions as intended for controlling the machine.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for this device's performance testing is adherence to engineering specifications, recognized international standards (e.g., ISO, IEC), and documented functional requirements. For biocompatibility, it's the results of specific laboratory tests against established biological safety criteria. For software, it's the functionality of the code against its design specifications and requirements.

8. Sample Size for Training Set

Not applicable. This document does not describe an AI/ML model that would have a "training set" of data.

9. How Ground Truth for Training Set was Established

Not applicable, as there is no AI/ML training set.

5.4.3. Brief Written Description of the Device

The SURDIAL DX Hemodialysis System has a built-in dialysate preparation system and piston pump ultrafiltration (UF) control system. The SURDIAL DX controls and monitors the hydraulic circuit and extracorporeal blood circuit. It provides hemodialysis treatment by controlling and monitoring both the dialysate circuit and the extracorporeal blood circuit. The machine pumps blood from the patient's body through an extracorporeal circuit containing the dialyzer. The dialyzer contains a semi-permeable membrane that uses diffusion to transfer toxins and ultrafiltration to transport excess water from the dialysate circuit. The dialysate is mixed with purified water, then heated and degassed for delivery to the dialyzer. During hemodialysis, the venous and arterial blood pressures are monitored.

5.8.2. Electrical Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

The SURDIAL DX Hemodialysis Machine was evaluated for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) in accordance with IEC 60601-1-2:2014. The following safety standards were also assessed for the machine:

  • IEC 60601-1:2005+A1:2012 ANSI/AAMI ES 60601-1: A1:2012
  • IEC 60601-1-8:2006 +A1:2012
  • IEC 60601-2-16:2012 ●
  • IEC 80601-2-30:2009 +A1:2013

5.8.3. Software Verification and Validation Testing

The software was determined to be legacy software, and therefore a gap assessment was performed to allow updates to the software going forward to be conducted under IEC 62304 software standards. The original SURDIAL DX Software was originally developed 10 to 15 years ago (mid 2000s). The target product market was Asia, Europe and South America. The SURDIAL DX hemodialysis machine has been deployed successfully in these markets for over 10 years, with a history of reliable clinical performance.

A detailed analysis of the software and available documentation was performed, and it was determined to perform independent verification and validation. Unit, integration, and system level software verification testing demonstrates that the machine functions as intended.

5.8.4. Environmental and Ship Testing

Performance testing was conducted at ambient room conditions to verify normal machine function. Transportation testing was performed to verify that the machine can withstand hazards associated with the typical shipping and distribution environment.

5.8.5. Human Factors Testing

Human Factors testing was performed on the SURDIAL DX and found that the usability of the machine was in line with its functions, and the professional users of the machine. Nipro therefore concludes that the machine is safe and effective for the intended users, uses, and use environments.

5.9. Conclusions

The SURDIAL DX Hemodialysis System indications for use, intended use, and its technological characteristics are substantially equivalent to those of the predicate device namely B. Braun Dialog+. The differences between the SURDIAL DX Hemodialysis System and the predicate device do not raise any new concerns with regard to safety or effectiveness; therefore, no clinical tests were deemed necessary. Essential performance of the machine was confirmed in the IEC 60601 testing. Nipro has concluded that the SURDIAL DX Hemodialysis System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, the B. Braun Dialog+ (K083460) Hemodialysis System within the meaning of the Medical Device Amendments Act of 1976.

§ 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).
