Intended Use
The Blood Tubing Set is a sterile, single use, disposable indicated for use with a prescribed hemodialyzer. For use with a compatible hemodialyzer, as per the labeling. 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.
Device Description
The CombiSet Bloodline is a single-use, ethylene oxide (EO) sterilized blood tubing set. The CombiSet Bloodline is 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.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical components and standard performance testing of a blood tubing set for hemodialysis, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is described as a "Blood Tubing Set" intended for "acute and chronic hemodialysis therapy," which is a medical treatment.

No

The device description clearly states its mechanical function in transporting blood during hemodialysis and makes no mention of diagnostic capabilities, such as measuring or analyzing bodily fluids for diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "single-use, ethylene oxide (EO) sterilized blood tubing set" and part of the "extracorporeal hemodialysis circuit," indicating it is a physical hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for use with a hemodialyzer and hemodialysis machines to transport blood during hemodialysis therapy. This is a therapeutic procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description details its role in the extracorporeal circuit for transporting blood, which is a functional component of the hemodialysis process.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide diagnostic information about a patient's health status.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This blood tubing set facilitates a treatment, not a diagnostic test.

§ 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.
