Intended Use

The COBE Century™ Precision Blood Pump is intended for use in cardiopulmonary surgical procedures requiring pumping of fluids in an extracorporeal circuit for periods up to 6 hours.

Device Description

The COBE Century Perfusion Pump is the principal component of the COBE Century Perfusion System. It is a peristaltic-type roller pump that functions by tube-occluding rollers that move along a piece of tubing. As the pump head rotates, the rollers draw fluid through the tubing. Pumped fluids are contained within the tubing and have no contact with the pump. The pump has positive displacement over a wide range of flow rates and delivery pressures.

The COBE Century Perfusion Pump consists of:

  • a front panel containing displays and operational switches
  • a pump head with the roller pump mechanism and shields
  • a chassis containing control cards, a power supply, and connectors for external devices
AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information for the COBE Century Perfusion Pump, based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance CriterionReported Device Performance
Functional SpecificationsThe device successfully met all functional specifications.
User Interface SpecificationThe device successfully met all user interface specifications.
Substantial Equivalence to Predicate Device (COBE Precision Blood Pump)Determined to be substantially equivalent due to hardware and software modifications for improved user interface and overspeed protection.

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

  • Sample Size: Not specified. The document states "every system requirement was addressed by a corresponding test or tests," implying a comprehensive test set was used, but the quantity of units tested is not provided.
  • Data Provenance: The testing was conducted by COBE Cardiovascular, Inc. and is described as "system test level" validation. This is retrospective (performed by the manufacturer to validate their design). The country of origin is USA (Arvada, CO), as per the manufacturer's address.

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

  • Number of Experts: Not applicable. The ground truth for functional and user interface specifications is typically established through engineering design documents and industry standards, not by human expert consensus for a mechanical device like a pump.
  • Qualifications: Not applicable.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Adjudication Method: Not applicable. For functional specifications, the device either passes or fails the defined requirements. There's no mention of a human adjudication process for interpreting test results.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

  • MRMC Study: No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is more common for diagnostic imaging devices where human interpretation is a key component. This device is a mechanical pump.

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

  • Standalone Study: Yes, the testing described is a standalone performance study of the device's functional and user interface specifications, without human real-time intervention as part of the performance evaluation.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Type of Ground Truth: The ground truth was established by engineering design specifications and functional requirements for the device, including:
    • Functional operation (e.g., flow rates, speed accuracy, overspeed protection).
    • User interface behavior (e.g., display accuracy, switch response).

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Sample Size: Not applicable. This device is a mechanical pump with software, not a machine learning model that requires a "training set" in the typical sense of AI/ML. The "training" for the design would refer to the engineering and development cycles that led to the final specifications.

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

  • How Ground Truth for Training Set Was Established: Not applicable in the context of AI/ML. The "ground truth" for the device's design and development comes from established engineering principles, industry standards for perfusion pumps, regulatory requirements, and the functional specifications derived from the intended use and predicate device characteristics.

INDICATIONS FOR USE:

The COBE Century Perfusion Pump is intended for use in cardiopulmonary surgical procedures requiring pumping of fluids in an extracorporeal circuit for periods up to 6 hours.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS:

The COBE Century Perfusion Pump is a modification of its predicate, the COBE Precision Blood Pump. As such. it retains most of the technological characteristics of its predicate.

Through software and hardware modifications, the pump has an improved user interface and an improved overspeed protection circuit. Updating of the user interface involved replacing most of the rotary switches with membrane switches, replacing the front panel that holds the switches, and providing additional displays. Improving the overspeed protection circuit involved increasing overspeed sensitivity at low speeds, adding a fixed, maximum speed limit, and implementing a safety function which detects a component failure in the speed setpoint circuitry.

The COBE Century Perfusion Pump and its predicate are equipped with universal tubing clamps, which allow the pumps to accommodate a wide range of tubing sizes and types with a minimum of hardware changes. For non-continuous pumping applications only. polyvinylchloride (PVC) tubing of 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch inside diameter (ID) by 1/16 inch wall minimum can be accommodated. For continuous pumping, PVC tubing of 1/4 inch (ID) by 3/32 inch wall to 5/8 inch ID by 1/8 inch wall can be accommodated. For continuous and noncontinuous pumping, silicone rubber tubing with 3/16 inch ID by 1/16 inch wall to 5/8 inch ID by 1/8 inch wall can be accommodated.

Flow rate (Liters Per Minute) through the pumps is based on pump speed (Revolutions Per Minute) and tubing ID. Flow rates can range from .01 LPM (3/16 inch ID and 1 RPM) to over 10 LPM (for larger sizes of tubing and higher speeds). For some sizes of tubing, two segments of tubing can be placed in the pump head at the same time.

The COBE Century Perfusion Pump is not-nor is it intended to be-interchangeable with its predecessor, the COBE Precision Blood Pump. However, the COBE Century Perfusion Pump and its predicate device are each compatible with certain other devices: 1) The COBE Century Perfusion Pump can be run in master/slave mode with another COBE Century Perfusion Pump. Similarly, the COBE Precision Blood Pump can be run in master/slave mode with another COBE Precision Blood Pump. 2) The COBE Century Perfusion Pump can be operated in conjunction with the COBE Computerized Perfusion Controller (CPC). Similarly, the COBE Precision Blood Pump can be operated in conjunction with the COBE Computerized Perfusion Controller (CPC). The CPC can be used to pressure-limit either pump, volumetrically control either pump, and/or pulse either pump. 3) The COBE Century

{2}------------------------------------------------

Perfusion Pump can be used with the COBE Air Emboli Protection System (AEPS). Similarly, the COBE Precision Blood Pump can be used with the COBE Air Emboli Protection System (AEPS). The AEPS is designed to provide protection against air embolism during cardiopulmonary bypass surgery by stopping the pump if specific conditions are sensed.

NONCLINICAL TEST RESULTS:

The COBE Century Perfusion Pump was tested to assure that it met its functional specifications and its user interface specification. It successfully met all specifications at the system test level, where every system requirement was addressed by a corresponding test or tests.

CLINICAL TEST RESULTS:

No clinical testing was performed.

CONCLUSIONS:

The COBE Century Perfusion Pump is a modification of the COBE Precision Blood Pump. Through hardware and software modifications, the Century Perfusion Pump has an improved user interface and an improved overspeed protection circuit. The COBE Century Perfusion Pump is substantially equivalent to the COBE Precision Blood Pump.
