The Haemonetics® Cell Saver® Elite®+ Autotransfusion System and its related accessory components are intended for use to recover blood shed during or subsequent to an operation or as a result of trauma, processing the blood by a centrifugation and washing procedure, and pumping the processed red blood cells to a product bag. The intended use of the Sequestration Protocol is to collect an autologous, preoperative, plasma product for reinfusion to the same patient within the recommended time of the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB), 9th Edition.
The subject of this Traditional 510(k) is the Haemonetics Cell Saver Elite/Elite+ Autotransfusion System 7.3 (AQ) software update which allows users the ability to manually control the cell salvage procedure through manual mode, quick transfer and decreased minimum wash volume. The Cell Saver Elite/Elite+ System consists of a single use disposable set and reusable equipment. One disposable set is used throughout an individual patient's surgical procedure and then discarded. The Cell Saver Elite/Elite+ System utilizes a unique bowl processing kit, but is compatible with Haemonetics standard reservoirs and A&A lines. The collected blood is processed through a centrifugal separation chamber (bowl) where RBCs are concentrated and then washed, removing unwanted substances such as hemolized cells, anticoagulant and irrigating fluids. The washed RBC product is available for return via a product bag to the patient. The Elite+ System is designed to perform plasma sequestration using the autotransfusion disposable in conjunction with an ancillary sequestration set prior to performing autotransfusion.
The provided text is a 510(k) Summary for the Haemonetics Cell Saver Elite/Elite+ Autotransfusion System (CSE-E-US/CSE-EW-US) software update. It describes the device, its intended use, and the non-clinical testing performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device. However, this document does not contain information about the acceptance criteria and study design for proving the device meets those criteria from an AI/ML perspective.
The changes in this 510(k) are related to a software update (version 7.3 AQ) for an autotransfusion system, specifically adding "manual mode, quick transfer and decreased minimum wash volume" features. This device processes blood (concentrating and washing red blood cells) rather than interpreting medical images or data using AI/ML algorithms.
Therefore, many of the requested items (sample size for test/training sets, data provenance, number/qualifications of experts, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone AI performance, type of ground truth for AI, how ground truth for training set was established) are not applicable to this type of device and submission.
The document focuses on:
- Software Verification: To verify the new software revision.
- Functional Testing: To validate washout performance (a physical function of the blood processing).
- Usability Testing: To validate operational needs and usability.
These tests are standard for a medical device software update and functional changes, but they do not involve AI/ML performance evaluation as typically understood in the context of diagnostic or prognostic AI systems that require ground truth, expert readers, and rigorous statistical analysis of AI model performance.
In summary, this document is for a medical device software update, not an AI/ML device. Therefore, it does not provide the information requested about AI/ML acceptance criteria and study paradigms.

Dear Ergang Alexis:
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.

Non-Clinical Testing Summary:
The following non-clinical performance testing was submitted in support of a determination of substantial equivalence between the subject and predicate device. A summary of the performance testing is presented below in Table 1. Test data demonstrates that the device met all performance requirements, and that the subject device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the predicate device.

Comparison to Predicate:
The Haemonetics Cell Saver Elite/Elite+ Autotransfusion system with 7.3 (AQ) software is substantially equivalent to the Cell Saver Elite/Elite+ Autotransufsion system cleared in K162423. The Cell Saver Elite/Elite+ is intended for use with the same hardware and disposables as the predicate device and in the same operating environment with the same donor/operator population. The Indications for Use have been clarified for the Cell Saver Elite/Elite+. The proposed modifications to the Indications for Use and the proposed software changes do not expand or change the safety profile from the previous cleared Indication for Use. The Intended Use for the Cell Saver Elite/Elite+ is the same between the subject and predicate device. The technological characteristics of the subject device differ from the predicate only in the new embedded software, which includes new features for manual control of the cell salvage procedure. These differences do not impact the clinical functionality of the device and do not render the device non-substantially equivalent. The non-clinical and clinical testing has demonstrated the subject device is as safe and effective as the predicate device. The results of the testing have not raised different questions of safety and efficacy from the predicate.
A summary comparison is presented below in Table 2.
