Table 1: Lilliput APD System Components Description
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Optional Accessories | Optional accessories designed for use with the Cycler orDisposable Set (e.g., cart, travel case, solution bag case) |
The Cycler is a software-controlled electromechanical device designed for use in APD therapy for the treatment of ESRD. The software controls the functions of the Cycler during peritoneal dialysis (PD) treatment. The Cycler is designed as a table-top unit for use with a single-use, dedicated disposable set. The Lilliput APD System may be prescribed for either clinical or home treatment settings. Treatment settings, such as the amount of solution to be infused and the length of time the solution remains in the peritoneal cavity, are programmed into the Cycler. During treatment, the Cycler heats the peritoneal dialysis solution prior to patient infusion, measures and delivers a predetermined amount of fluid to the patient, and monitors the drained volume.
The Lilliput Disposables Sets are used as accessories to the Cycler. The Disposables sets are composed of a cartridge and, depending on the configuration, 7 or 8 fluid lines. The fluid lines consist of:
- 1 drain line (4 feet or 20 feet, depending on the configuration) with a female Luerlock connector.
- 1 patient connection line (with 1 or 2 stay safe® patient connectors, depending on the configuration)
- 2 warming pouch lines (1 warmer return line and 1 warmer inlet line) ●
- 2 or 3 dialysate bag lines (with Safe-Lock® connectors), depending on the ● configuration.
- . 1 last bag inlet line
When used in conjunction with the Cycler, the Disposable Sets provide a defined, sterile fluid path with secure connections (stay safe, Safe-Lock. and Luer lock) to alternately draw the prescribed dialysate solution to and from the patient's peritoneal cavity.

The logo consists of a blue geometric shape on the left, resembling three downward-pointing chevrons stacked on top of each other. To the right of the geometric shape is the text "FRESENIUS" in bold, blue letters, with "MEDICAL CARE" in a smaller, bold, blue font below it. The background of the image is white.
substantial equivalence to the predicate devices. Test results demonstrate that the differences between the proposed and the predicate devices do not raise any new concerns with regard to safety or effectiveness.
The Indications for Use, technological characteristics, design, and performance requirements of the Lilliput APD System are substantially equivalent to those of the predicate devices. FMCRTG concludes that within the meaning of the Medical Device Amendments Act of 1976, the Lilliput APD System is safe and effective for the intended use.
§ 876.5630 Peritoneal dialysis system and accessories.
(a)
Identification. (1) A peritoneal dialysis 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 a peritoneal access device, an administration set for peritoneal dialysis, a source of dialysate, and, in some cases, a water purification mechanism. After the dialysate is instilled into the patient's peritoneal cavity, it is allowed to dwell there so that undesirable substances from the patient's blood pass through the lining membrane of the peritoneal cavity into this dialysate. These substances are then removed when the dialysate is drained from the patient. The peritoneal dialysis system may regulate and monitor the dialysate temperature, volume, and delivery rate together with the time course of each cycle of filling, dwell time, and draining of the peritoneal cavity or manual controls may be used. This generic device includes the semiautomatic and the automatic peritoneal delivery system.(2) The peritoneal access device is a flexible tube that is implanted through the abdominal wall into the peritoneal cavity and that may have attached cuffs to provide anchoring and a skin seal. The device is either a single use peritioneal catheter, intended to remain in the peritoneal cavity for less than 30 days, or a long term peritoneal catheter. Accessories include stylets and trocars to aid in the insertion of the catheter and an obturator to maintain the patency of the surgical fistula in the abdominal wall between treatments.
(3) The disposable administration set for peritoneal dialysis consists of tubing, an optional reservoir bag, and appropriate connectors. It may include a peritoneal dialysate filter to trap and remove contaminating particles.
(4) The source of dialysate may be sterile prepackaged dialysate (for semiautomatic peritoneal dialysate delivery systems or “cycler systems”) or dialysate prepared from dialysate concentrate and sterile purified water (for automatic peritoneal dialysate delivery systems or “reverse osmosis” systems). Prepackaged dialysate intended for use with either of the peritoneal dialysate delivery systems is regulated by FDA as a drug.
(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The following accessories are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9: A catheter finger grip that is non-patient contacting and intended for single use with a peritoneal catheter; a continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) belt; and a catheter stand that does not include weigh scales.
