No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or related terms, and the device description focuses on electromechanical and software control for a hemodialysis system.

Yes
The device is indicated for the treatment of acute and chronic renal failure or fluid overload using hemofiltration, hemodialysis, and/or ultrafiltration. These are therapeutic interventions aimed at managing and treating a medical condition.

No

The device is indicated for the treatment of renal failure or fluid overload using hemofiltration, hemodialysis, and/or ultrafiltration. This describes a therapeutic, not a diagnostic, function.

No

The device description explicitly states it is comprised of an electromechanical control unit (NxStage Cycler) and a disposable extracorporeal blood and fluid management circuit (NxStage Cartridge), which are hardware components. While it includes "GuideMe Software," it is part of a larger hardware system.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the treatment of renal failure and fluid overload using hemofiltration, hemodialysis, and/or ultrafiltration. These are therapeutic procedures performed directly on the patient's blood, not tests performed on samples outside the body to diagnose or monitor a condition.
  • Device Description: The device is described as an electromechanical control unit and a disposable circuit that manages blood and fluid flow. This aligns with a system for performing dialysis, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or processes typically associated with IVDs, such as reagents, assays, sample analysis, or the generation of diagnostic results from biological specimens.

In summary, the NxStage system is a therapeutic device used for dialysis, not a diagnostic device used for testing samples.

§ 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).
(b)
Classification. Class II. The special controls for this device are FDA's:(1) “Use of International Standard ISO 10993 ‘Biological Evaluation of Medical Device—Part I: Evaluation and Testing,’ ”
(2) “Guidance for the Content of 510(k)s for Conventional and High Permeability Hemodialyzers,”
(3) “Guidance for Industry and CDRH Reviewers on the Content of Premarket Notifications for Hemodialysis Delivery Systems,”
(4) “Guidance for the Content of Premarket Notifications for Water Purification Components and Systems for Hemodialysis,” and
(5) “Guidance for Hemodialyzer Reuse Labeling.”
