The multiFiltratePRO System is indicated for the following use: Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) for patients weighing 40 kilograms or more with acute renal failure with or without fluid overload.
All treatments administered by the multiFiltratePRO System must be prescribed by a physician.
The multiFiltratePRO System (hereinafter referred to as the "mFTPRO System") is designed to provide Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) dialysis.
The mFTPRO System consists of the following components:
- . mFTPRO Machine
- . mFTPRO HDF Cassette
- mFTPRO Accessories .
- । multiEffluent Bag, 10 L
- Adapter Hemofiltration (HF) Female Luer Lock Male ।
- Hemofiltration (HF) Female Spike Adapter -
- | Pressure Line for MTS (Medizin Tecknik Schweinfurt)
- । Vented Spike
The mFTPRO Machine is an electromechanical device. Software controls the machine during treatment, including fluid flow, mixing, heating, and alarms.
The mFTPRO HDF Cassette is single-use, ethylene oxide (EO) sterilized tubing cassette.
The mFTPRO System provides CRRT dialysis. The following CRRT modalities will be available with the mFTPRO System:
- CVVHD Continuous Veno Venous Hemodialysis .
- CVVH Continuous Veno Venous Hemofiltration, with pre-dialyzer dilution, post-● dialyzer dilution, and pre-post-dialyzer dilution
- . CVVHDF - Continuous Veno Venous Hemodiafiltration, with both pre-dialyzer dilution and post-dialyzer dilution
A high-resolution touchscreen monitor and four (4) operating buttons allow the user to view, monitor, input, and change parameters to manage the treatment on the mFTPRO Machine. In the extracorporeal blood circuit, blood is pumped from the patient through a dialyzer attached to the tubing cassette and back to the patient. Blood, filtrate, dialysate, substitution fluid, and heparin pumps are used as indicated to meet individual patient needs and various therapy modes. Integrated heaters can be used to heat the dialysate and/or substitution fluids as necessary.
The mFTPRO HDF Cassette is indicated for use with the mFTPRO System and can be used for the following CRRT treatment modes: CVVHD, CVVH, and CVVHDF. The cassette is part of the extracorporeal circuit. During treatment, the extracorporeal circuit transports blood from the patient's venous access (e.g., double or two (2) single lumen venous catheters) through a hemodialyzer and back to the patient's venous access.
Anticoagulation of the patient's blood is accomplished by systemic heparin anticoagulation via an integrated heparin pump. This pump can also be used to administer a bolus when required. An infusion line for anticoagulation is included in the cassette.
The acceptance criteria and study proving device performance are not explicitly detailed in the provided text in the format requested. The document is a 510(k) summary for the Fresenius Medical Care multiFiltratePRO System, focusing on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than providing a detailed report of a single study with specific performance metrics and statistical analyses.
However, based on the information provided, I can extract the general categories of performance testing undertaken and state that "all testing met predetermined acceptance criteria." Specific performance values are given for some characteristics, which could be considered the "reported device performance."

2. Sample Size for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not specify the sample sizes used for each individual test. It lists various tests conducted (e.g., sterilization tests, structural integrity tests, biocompatibility tests), but the number of units or repetitions for each test is not disclosed.
- Provenance: This information is not explicitly stated. The tests were conducted by the manufacturer, Fresenius Medical Care Tidal Therapies Group, LLC. It is implied these are internal lab tests, not clinical data from patients.
3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth
This information is not applicable because:
- The document describes engineering bench testing, sterilization validations, and biocompatibility assessments, not a study involving expert readers to establish ground truth for image or clinical data interpretation.
- No experts were used to establish ground truth for a test set in the context of diagnostic interpretation, as this device is a therapeutic system (Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy).
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This information is not applicable for the same reasons as point 3. There was no test set requiring human adjudication for diagnostic accuracy.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done. The device is a therapeutic system, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool for human readers.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study
This concept is not directly applicable. The "standalone" performance here relates to the mechanical, electrical, software, and biological performance of the multiFiltratePRO System itself as a medical device, which was extensively tested without human input influencing its intrinsic function once programmed. The software and machine functions were verified and validated independently.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" for the various performance tests was established through:
- Engineering specifications and standards: e.g., pressure ranges, flow rates, dimensions.
- Regulatory standards and guidance: e.g., ISO 10993 for biocompatibility, AAMI/ANSI/ISO 10993-7 for EO residuals, ANSI/AAMI/ST72 for bacterial endotoxin, ISO 11607-1 for sterile barrier testing, ISO 8637/8638 for connectors and color coding, ISO 80369-7 for connectors.
- Functional verification and validation protocols: Designed to confirm the device operates as intended.
- Human factors validation: Ensuring safe and effective use based on usability principles.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. This device is a therapeutic system and does not involve AI/machine learning models that require a "training set" of data in the typical sense. Its software is verified and validated through traditional software engineering methods, not by training on a dataset.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable, as there was no training set in the context of an AI/machine learning model. The software's functionality and logic are based on predetermined algorithms and engineering designs, verified against specifications derived from medical, safety, and performance requirements.

§ 876.5860 High permeability hemodialysis system.
(a)
Identification. A high permeability hemodialysis system is a device intended for use as an artificial kidney system for the treatment of patients with renal failure, fluid overload, or toxemic conditions by performing such therapies as hemodialysis, hemofiltration, hemoconcentration, and hemodiafiltration. Using a hemodialyzer with a semipermeable membrane that is more permeable to water than the semipermeable membrane of the conventional hemodialysis system (§ 876.5820), the high permeability hemodialysis system removes toxins or excess fluid from the patient's blood using the principles of convection (via a high ultrafiltration rate) and/or diffusion (via a concentration gradient in dialysate). During treatment, blood is circulated from the patient through the hemodialyzer's blood compartment, while the dialysate solution flows countercurrent through the dialysate compartment. In this process, toxins and/or fluid are transferred across the membrane from the blood to the dialysate compartment. The hemodialysis delivery machine controls and monitors the parameters related to this processing, including the rate at which blood and dialysate are pumped through the system, and the rate at which fluid is removed from the patient. The high permeability hemodialysis system consists of the following devices:(1) The hemodialyzer consists of a semipermeable membrane with an in vitro ultrafiltration coefficient (K
uf ) greater than 8 milliliters per hour per conventional millimeter of mercury, as measured with bovine or expired human blood, and is used with either an automated ultrafiltration controller or anther method of ultrafiltration control to prevent fluid imbalance.(2) The hemodialysis delivery machine is similar to the extracorporeal blood system and dialysate delivery system of the hemodialysis system and accessories (§ 876.5820), with the addition of an ultrafiltration controller and mechanisms that monitor and/or control such parameters as fluid balance, dialysate composition, and patient treatment parameters (e.g., blood pressure, hematocrit, urea, etc.).
(3) The high permeability hemodialysis system accessories include, but are not limited to, tubing lines and various treatment related monitors (e.g., dialysate pH, blood pressure, hematocrit, and blood recirculation monitors).
