Device Description
The AMICUS Separator System is comprised of the AMICUS separator instrument and a disposable apheresis kit specific to the procedure being performed. The instrument is a continuous-flow, centrifugal device that draws whole blood from a donor/patient, separates the blood into its components, collects one or more of the blood components, and returns the remainder of the blood components to the donor/patient. The instrument operates using pumps, clamps and valves that move donor/patient blood through a singleuse, sterile fluid path disposable kit. The cells are centrifugally separated within the kit by density differences. The operator is responsible for connecting and monitoring the donor/patient and operating and monitoring the AMICUS separator during the procedure. The operator controls the separator through a touch screen. When necessary, the operator is warned of problems with messages on the screen and corresponding audible alerts. Once the cell separation is complete, the operator disconnects the donor/patient, dismantles the kit, and disposes of the kit in a safe manner. The kit is packaged in a recyclable plastic tray.

No
The summary describes an automated blood cell separator that uses pumps, clamps, valves, and centrifugal force for separation. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The testing described is standard software and systems verification, electrical safety, and EMC testing, not AI/ML model validation.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the AMICUS Separator System is an "automated blood cell separator indicated to perform therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE)" and "red blood cell exchange (RBCX)," which are therapeutic procedures.

No

The device is indicated for therapeutic apheresis procedures (plasma exchange, red blood cell exchange) and for the collection of blood components (platelets, red blood cells, mononuclear cells, plasma). It is a treatment and collection device, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states that the AMICUS Separator System is comprised of both an instrument (hardware) and a disposable apheresis kit (hardware). While it includes software for control and operation, it is not solely software.

Based on the provided text, the AMICUS Separator System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the device as an automated blood cell separator used for therapeutic apheresis procedures (like plasma exchange and red blood cell exchange) and for collecting blood components (platelets, red blood cells, mononuclear cells, plasma). These are procedures performed directly on a patient or donor to separate and collect blood components, not to perform tests on samples in vitro (outside the body) for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details a continuous-flow, centrifugal device that physically separates blood components. It describes the mechanical process of drawing blood, separating it, and returning components. This aligns with a therapeutic or collection device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Language: The text does not mention any diagnostic tests, analysis of samples for disease markers, or providing information for diagnosis.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on software and systems verification, electrical safety, and electromagnetic compatibility, which are typical for medical devices used in procedures, not for IVDs which would focus on analytical and clinical performance related to diagnostic accuracy.

In summary, the AMICUS Separator System is a therapeutic and blood component collection device, not a device used for performing diagnostic tests on biological samples.

The AMICUS platelet storage container is cleared to store Platelets Pheresis, Leukocytes Reduced in 100% plasma for up to seven days. Additionally, for platelet units stored past five days and through seven days, every product must be tested with a bacterial device cleared by FDA and labeled as a "safety measure." (BK050038 and BK150242)

Technological Comparison as Compared to the Predicate Device

The technological characteristics of the AMICUS separator are standardized across procedures and remain the same as the predicate AMICUS device. This includes the centrifuge system, separation technology, fluid control system, safety management system (including safety sensors and alerts) and anticoagulant management system which monitors and controls the delivery of anticoagulant solution based on operator parameters. There is no change in the fundamental scientific technology or principles of operation.

The physical design of the AMICUS instrument includes three main areas of operation (touch screen, top panel and centrifuge) that have the same technological characteristics as the predicate AMICUS device. There is no change in physical dimensions, manufacturing facility or processes. The performance specifications and data management capabilities remain the same as the cleared AMICUS device. The AMICUS apheresis kits are unaffected and remain the same as the currently cleared kits including design, labeling, materials and manufacturing methods.

Modification to the Existing Device

The primary changes to the AMICUS device in support of this submission are the replacement of obsolete controller circuit boards and associated redesign of other boards within the interior portion of the instrument. The replacement boards have resulted in new proposed product codes (6R4590, 6R4590TH, 6R4590TH-M and 6R4590TH-T). There was a modification made to the rear door design of the instrument's exterior interface to accommodate two new USB ports, one new ethernet port, one serial port (reduced from four) and one Wi-Fi antenna.

An update to the cleared AMICUS 6.0 software, including a change in the operating system from pSOS to QNX, was developed to run on the proposed device with the

replacement boards. The software changes do not involve changes to the core blood component collection or therapeutic procedure functionality. The software updates were made to enable use with the new hardware as well as some updates to diagnostics mode to enhance serviceability. Other non-procedural updates include embedded Wi-Fi and ethernet connectivity and the ability to export procedural data and network configuration settings via USB. The barcode module in the AMICUS software was updated for compatibility with the new USB-powered bar code scanner.

A new off-the-shelf bar code scanner with USB interface has been qualified for use with the USB port in the new I/O board. The USB bar code scanner will function the same as the serial-based bar code scanner used with the predicate device.

The cleared SW 6.0 AMICUS Operator's Manual, 6.0 Data Management Supplement and EMC Addendum have been updated in support of the proposed device and updated software. A new 6.0 Cyber Security Supplement has been created. New product labeling has been created for the new product codes.

The AMICUS disposable apheresis kits remain the same as the currently cleared kits, including design, materials and manufacturing methods. The labeling for the AMICUS apheresis disposable kits are not affected by the proposed AMICUS device and remain unchanged. The data management capabilities remain the same as the cleared AMICUS device.

Performance Data

Software and systems verification testing of impacted requirements were performed with the replacement hardware components and updated 6.0 software. Regression testing was performed including paired testing with the predicate device on key product quality and performance characteristics. Results from the software and systems verification testing indicate that the subject device is as safe and performs as well as the predicate device.

Electrical safety and EMC testing were also conducted on the subject device. The device passed all applicable tests in compliance with:

ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1:2005/(R)2012 and A1: 2012, C1:2009/(R)2012 and A2:2010/(R)2012 (Edition 3.1) "Medical Electrical Equipment - Part 1: General Requirements for Basic Safety and Essential Performance."

IEC 60601-1-2:2014 (Edition 4) "Medical Electrical Equipment - Part 1-2: General Requirements for Basic Safety and Essential Performance - Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic Compatibility - Requirements and Tests."

Conclusion

Based on the verification activities performed, the AMICUS Separator System modified with the replacement hardware components and updated 6.0 software provides a device system that is substantially equivalent to the currently marketed AMICUS Separator System.
