The Betatrans Orthopaedic Autotransfusion System consists of a stainless steel trocar and PVC wound drain available in 1/8", 3/16 and 1/4" ID sizes the line is connected to a PVC blood collection line with a universal Y connector and pinch clamp which connects to a 800ml PETG blood collection chamber with integral 260 micron gross clot pre-filter and either one or two female halves of a patented"Duxbury Connector" bonded to the bottom of the chamber. one or two preconnected sterile 800ml blood bag. A bag contains at it's top a male "Duxbury Connector" and a transfusion port. A safety cap covers the transfusion port and is available for use as a cover for the male connector once separated from the collection chamber. The bags male and female connector are shipped in a locked position. In this position a valve is located in each half of the connector remains closed, preventing fluid or air to pass in either direction. A vacuum tube assembly consisting of a 0.45 micron bacterial air filter, one way outflow valve, pinch clamp, and a five in one suction connector for venting of the chamber, as air is displaced by incoming blood. A vent cap assembly with a tethered screw on cap, one way inflow valve and a 0.45 micron filter to allow venting of the chamber during transfer of blood to the blood bag(s).

AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the Betatrans™ Orthopaedic Autotransfusion System, focusing on acceptance criteria and supporting studies.

Based on the provided text, the device's acceptance criteria primarily revolve around safety, biocompatibility, and functional performance as an autotransfusion system. The study described focuses on demonstrating conformance to established standards and equivalence to predicate devices rather than a comparative clinical effectiveness study with human readers or specific numeric performance targets against a disease or condition.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The provided text does not explicitly state the sample sizes for the biocompatibility tests (e.g., number of animals for in vivo tests, number of units for in vitro tests, number of blood samples for hemocompatibility).

Provenance: The studies seem to be laboratory-based and conducted specifically for this device's submission.
- Hemocompatibility: Mentions "aged, pooled human blood" for comparison with predicate devices. This indicates human-derived blood samples, but the source (country, donor characteristics) is not specified. It's likely a controlled laboratory study rather than clinical data.
- Animal tests: Guinea pigs are mentioned for Kligman Test.
- In vitro tests: L929 cytotoxicity, Ames mutagenicity, bacterial endotoxin.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications

This information is not applicable as the studies described are technical performance and safety studies (biocompatibility, physical performance, sterilization efficacy) of a medical device, not diagnostic studies where human experts establish ground truth for a test set. There were no "experts" establishing a "ground truth" in the traditional sense for these types of engineering and laboratory tests.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This is not applicable for the type of tests described. Adjudication methods (like 2+1, 3+1) are typically used in clinical studies or diagnostic performance evaluations when multiple human readers are interpreting data. The tests here involve objective measurements against predefined standards.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done, What was the Effect Size of How Much Human Readers Improve with AI vs without AI Assistance

This is not applicable. The Betatrans™ Orthopaedic Autotransfusion System is a physical medical device (an autotransfusion system), not an AI-powered diagnostic tool. Therefore, no MRMC study or AI assistance evaluation was performed or is relevant.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was Done

This is not applicable. As mentioned above, this is a physical medical device, not an algorithm or AI system.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (Expert Consensus, Pathology, Outcomes Data, etc.)

The "ground truth" for the tests performed can be characterized as:

Reference Standards/Predefined Criteria: For biocompatibility, USP (U.S. Pharmacopeia) standards, ISO 10993-1:1992(E) (modified), and AAMI (Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation) AT6 standards served as the "ground truth" to determine acceptance or rejection.
Predicate Device Equivalence: For hemocompatibility, the "ground truth" was a comparison of blood parameters to the same parameters measured with predicate devices, demonstrating equivalence.
Controlled Laboratory Conditions: For physical performance (leak tests, particulates), the ground truth was the absence of leaks or conformance to AAMI AT6 standard under controlled testing conditions.
Microbial Challenge: For sterilization efficacy, the ground truth was the absence of microbial growth following challenge tests.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This is not applicable. The Betatrans™ system is a physical device, not a machine learning model, so there is no "training set."

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

This is not applicable for the same reason as point 8.

Summary of Studies

Performance testing results confirm the subject device conformance to the ANSI/AAMI Standard AT6-199 and FDA modified ISO 10993-1:1992(E) biocompatibility matrix. The product labeling conforms to 15th Edition AABB Standard. Sterilization was performed using AAMI's "Guide to Industrial Sterilization", 1991:Method 3. and gamma irradiation. Studies using aged, sterile units included pressure and vacuum challenges, biocompatibility testing, helium leak test, microbial challenge to the product and connector, and function hemocompatibility testing. Hemocompatibility studies compared a series of blood and blood cell parameters using aged, pooled human blood versus values samples obtained prior to collection and predicate devices. The testing indicates the BetaTrans product meets applicable standards, is biocompatibile, equal to or better than the predicate device, and performs according to design specifications.
