Intended Use
The NxStage System One is indicated for the treatment of acute and chronic renal failure or fluid overload using hemofiltration, hemodialysis, and/or ultrafiltration, in an acute care facility. The NxStage Cartridge Express with Speedswap is an optional accessory device to be used exclusively with the NxStage System One for facilitating the removal and replacement of a flow-compromised filter during to acute and chronic renal failure or fluid overload. The device would be used when hemodialysis, and /or ultrafiltration may become disrupted. All treatments must be administered under a physician's prescription and must be observed by a trained and qualified person, considered to be competent in the use of this device by the prescribing physician.
Device Description
The NxStage Cartridge Express with Speedswap is a single use extracorporeal blood circuit and fluid management device with a pre-attached detachable high permeability hollow-fiber. The proposed feature, "Speedswap" is a feature in the cartridge design that will allow the user to exchange the filter that is becoming clotted or clogged with a new filter that has been manually primed. A kit will be required to perform the filter exchange. The proposed optional kit will consist of a filter with tubing connections for manual priming along with a waste bag to collect used saline. The nurse has the option of using the proposed cartridge without using the Speedswap feature. The functionality of the proposed cartridge is the same as the predicate Cartridge. Exchanging a used filter is optional and the facility can choose to dispose of the entire cartridge instead of exchanging the Filter.

The description focuses on the mechanical and fluid management aspects of the device and its accessory, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

Yes
The device is used with the NxStage System One for the treatment of acute and chronic renal failure or fluid overload using hemofiltration, hemodialysis, and/or ultrafiltration, which are therapeutic interventions.

No

Explanation: The device is indicated for the treatment of renal failure and fluid overload using hemofiltration, hemodialysis, and/or ultrafiltration. It is an extracorporeal blood circuit and fluid management device and does not perform any diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "single use extracorporeal blood circuit and fluid management device with a pre-attached detachable high permeability hollow-fiber" and includes a "kit" with physical components like a filter, tubing, and a waste bag. This indicates it is a hardware device with physical components, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the treatment of acute and chronic renal failure or fluid overload using hemofiltration, hemodialysis, and/or ultrafiltration. These are therapeutic procedures performed directly on the patient's blood, not diagnostic tests performed on samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The device is described as an extracorporeal blood circuit and fluid management device with a filter. This aligns with devices used in dialysis and hemofiltration, which are therapeutic treatments.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Activity: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze samples (blood, urine, etc.) to provide diagnostic information about a patient's condition. The purpose is to remove waste products and excess fluid from the blood.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device's function is therapeutic, not diagnostic.

§ 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).
(b)
Classification. Class II. The special controls for this device are FDA's:(1) “Use of International Standard ISO 10993 ‘Biological Evaluation of Medical Device—Part I: Evaluation and Testing,’ ”
(2) “Guidance for the Content of 510(k)s for Conventional and High Permeability Hemodialyzers,”
(3) “Guidance for Industry and CDRH Reviewers on the Content of Premarket Notifications for Hemodialysis Delivery Systems,”
(4) “Guidance for the Content of Premarket Notifications for Water Purification Components and Systems for Hemodialysis,” and
