The document describes a continuous flow centrifuge system for processing blood, focusing on mechanical separation and washing. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any computational analysis of data that would suggest the use of these technologies.
No.
The device processes blood for reinfusion, which is a supportive treatment, not a direct therapeutic intervention for a disease or condition. Its purpose is to prepare blood components rather than to treat a specific medical condition.
No
The device is described as an "autotransfusion device indicated for the processing of autologous shed blood collected intraoperatively and postoperatively to obtain washed red blood cells for reinfusion." It processes blood to prepare it for reinfusion, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical system involving a continuous flow centrifuge, disposable sets, and accessories, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device with potentially integrated software for control and operation.
Based on the provided text, the CATSmart System by Fresenius Kabi is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for processing autologous shed blood collected during surgery or trauma to obtain washed red blood cells for reinfusion to the patient. It also mentions separation of blood components (PRC, Plasma, PRP) for perioperative use. This is a therapeutic process involving the patient's own blood, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample in vitro to diagnose a condition or provide information about a patient's health status.
- Device Description: The description details a continuous flow centrifuge system that processes blood to remove unwanted components and prepare red blood cells for reinfusion. This is a blood processing system, not a device that analyzes a sample to provide diagnostic information.
- Lack of Diagnostic Language: The text does not mention any diagnostic tests, analysis of biomarkers, or providing information for diagnosis or treatment decisions based on the analysis of a sample.
IVD devices are typically used to examine specimens such as blood, urine, or tissue to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. The CATSmart system is designed to process blood for reinfusion, which is a therapeutic procedure.

Device Description
The Fresenius Kabi CATSmart device is an intraoperative autotransfusion system for intra- and/or postoperative processing of blood lost through surgery or trauma. The CATSmart device operates on the principle of a continuous flow centrifuge, comparable to continuous systems for hemapheresis which, for decades, have been widely used in blood banks.
In a typical CATSmart procedure, the shed blood, which is anticoagulated and collected in a sterile reservoir, is processed in a continuous washing process to obtain washed packed red cells for reinfusion to the patient. During this process all plasmatic and nonerythrocytic cellular components of the collected blood, and thus activated coagulation factors, products of fibrinolysis and cell trauma as well as the anticoagulant are removed. The packed red cells are collected in a reinfusion bag from which they can be reinfused to the patient via a transfusion set when needed.
The system includes disposable sets and accessories previously cleared by FDA in respective 510(k)'s.

Dear Cheryl Roscher:
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. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal
