Intended Use

The Blood Tubing Set is a sterile, single use, disposable indicated for use with a prescribed hemodialyzer. The suitability of a particular bloodline/hemodialyzer configuration is the responsibility of the physician.

The Blood Tubing Set is intended for acute and chronic hemodialysis therapy.

The Blood Tubing Set is intended to be used with Fresenius Medical Care 2008® Series K, K2 and T Hemodialysis Machines equipped with Crit-Line hardware.

The Crit-Line Blood Chamber is an optical cuvette designed for use with the Crit-Line monitor's sensor clip during acute and chronic hemodialysis therapy to non-invasively measure hematocrit, percent change in blood volume, and oxygen saturation.

Device Description

The CombiSet SMARTECH Hemodialysis Blood Tubing Sets (hereinafter referred to as "CombiSet SMARTECH Bloodlines") are the subject of this 510(k) and are available in two (2) configurations:

  • CombiSet SMARTECH Hemodialysis Blood Tubing Set with attached Priming Set and ● Integrated Crit-Line Technology (hereinafter referred to as the "Standard bloodline")
  • . CombiSet SMARTECH Hemodialysis Blood Tubing Set with attached Priming Set and Integrated Crit-Line Technology, no Heparin Line (hereinafter referred to as the "No heparin line")

The CombiSet SMARTECH Bloodlines are single-use, ethylene oxide (EO) sterilized blood tubing sets.

The CombiSet SMARTECH Bloodlines are part of the extracorporeal hemodialysis circuit. During hemodialysis, the extracorporeal circuit transports arterial blood from the patient's arterial access (e.g., fistula or catheter), through a hemodialyzer, and back to the patient's venous access. When the CombiSet SMARTECH Bloodlines are used with the Crit-Line Sensing System (which includes the Crit-Line Sensor Clip), the proposed devices will provide a clear viewing surface for the Crit-Line Sensor Clip to transmit light through the blood.

  • The document does not specify the sample sizes used for each individual test within the "Performance Testing Summary."
  • The document does not specify the data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective) for the performance testing. It is implied these were laboratory or bench tests.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

  • This information is not provided in the document. The performance tests appear to be objective measurements against established engineering and performance criteria and standards, rather than requiring expert interpretation for ground truth.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

  • This information is not applicable/provided. The performance tests are quantitative or pass/fail against engineering standards and do not involve human interpretation or adjudication in the way a clinical study with subjective endpoints might.

5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

  • No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done. This device is a blood tubing set for hemodialysis, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done

  • Not applicable. This is a physical medical device (blood tubing set), not a software algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

  • The ground truth for the "Functional CLiC Chamber Test - Hematocrit (HCT)" and "Functional CLiC Chamber Test - Oxygen Saturation (O2 Sat)" was based on measurements made using a production blood chamber (CL10041021) as a control.
  • For other performance tests (e.g., structural integrity, flow rates, leak tests), the ground truth was based on predefined engineering specifications, international standards (ISO 8638, ISO 80369-7), and FDA guidance documents.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • This is not applicable/provided. This device is a physical medical device, not a machine learning or AI algorithm that requires a "training set."

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

  • This is not applicable. As stated above, this device does not involve a training set.

§ 876.5820 Hemodialysis system and accessories.

(a)
Identification. A hemodialysis system and accessories is a device that is used as an artificial kidney system for the treatment of patients with renal failure or toxemic conditions and that consists of an extracorporeal blood system, a conventional dialyzer, a dialysate delivery system, and accessories. Blood from a patient flows through the tubing of the extracorporeal blood system and accessories to the blood compartment of the dialyzer, then returns through further tubing of the extracorporeal blood system to the patient. The dialyzer has two compartments that are separated by a semipermeable membrane. While the blood is in the blood compartment, undesirable substances in the blood pass through the semipermeable membrane into the dialysate in the dialysate compartment. The dialysate delivery system controls and monitors the dialysate circulating through the dialysate compartment of the dialyzer.(1) The extracorporeal blood system and accessories consists of tubing, pumps, pressure monitors, air foam or bubble detectors, and alarms to keep blood moving safely from the blood access device and accessories for hemodialysis (§ 876.5540) to the blood compartment of the dialyzer and back to the patient.
(2) The conventional dialyzer allows a transfer of water and solutes between the blood and the dialysate through the semipermeable membrane. The semipermeable membrane of the conventional dialyzer has a sufficiently low permeability to water that an ultrafiltration controller is not required to prevent excessive loss of water from the patient's blood. This conventional dialyzer does not include hemodialyzers with the disposable inserts (Kiil type) (§ 876.5830) or dialyzers of high permeability (§ 876.5860).
(3) The dialysate delivery system consists of mechanisms that monitor and control the temperature, conductivity, flow rate, and pressure of the dialysate and circulates dialysate through the dialysate compartment of the dialyzer. The dialysate delivery system includes the dialysate concentrate for hemodialysis (liquid or powder) and alarms to indicate abnormal dialysate conditions. This dialysate delivery system does not include the sorbent regenerated dialysate delivery system for hemodialysis (§ 876.5600), the dialysate delivery system of the peritoneal dialysis system and accessories (§ 876.5630), or the controlled dialysate delivery system of the high permeability hemodialysis system § 876.5860).
(4) Remote accessories to the hemodialysis system include the unpowered dialysis chair without a scale, the powered dialysis chair without a scale, the dialyzer holder set, dialysis tie gun and ties, and hemodialysis start/stop tray.
(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (performance standards) for hemodialysis systems and all accessories directly associated with the extracorporeal blood system and the dialysate delivery system.(2) Class I for other accessories of the hemodialysis system remote from the extracorporeal blood system and the dialysate delivery system, such as the unpowered dialysis chair, hemodialysis start/stop tray, dialyzer holder set, and dialysis tie gun and ties. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.
