Intended Use
The Accuflo™ Electromagnetic Flow System is intended for use in the monitoring of the extracorporeal cardiopulmonary bypass circuit blood flow rate during open heart surgery. The device will function in circuits utilizing centrifugal pump heads as well as circuits utilizing roller pumps. There are no other intended uses for the device. The equivalent device, the Bioprobe, is primarily used with centrifugal pumps.
Device Description
The Accuflo™ Electromagnetic Flow Monitoring System is composed of three (3) components, a monitor display unit, a transducer and a sterile flow-through probe.

The device description explicitly states it is composed of three components: a monitor display unit, a transducer, and a sterile flow-through probe, indicating hardware components are included.

Based on the provided information, the Accuflo™ Electromagnetic Flow System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to monitor blood flow rate during open heart surgery within the extracorporeal cardiopulmonary bypass circuit. This is a measurement of a physiological parameter in vivo (within the living body's circulation, albeit outside the main body) rather than an analysis of a sample taken from the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The components (monitor, transducer, probe) are designed to interact with the blood flow directly within the bypass circuit, not to analyze a sample of blood.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description doesn't mention any analysis of biological samples, chemical reactions, or diagnostic tests performed on a sample.

IVD devices are typically used to examine specimens such as blood, urine, tissue, etc., to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The Accuflo™ system is a monitoring device for a physiological process during surgery.

510(k) SUMMARY

Accuflo™ Electromagnetic Flow Monitoring System

The Accuflo™ Electromagnetic Flow Monitoring System is composed of three (3) components, a monitor display unit, a transducer and a sterile flow-through probe. The system is substantially equivalent to the Biomedicus Bioprobe Electromagnetic Flow System which is marketed by Medtronic, Inc.

DISCUSSION OF SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES:

The use of a single electromagnet in the Bioprobe System compromises the uniformity of field within the flow-through cell. To compensate for this, two pair of electrodes are used to pick up the signal on opposite sides of the probe wall. The use of two electromagnets in the Accuflo™ System enhances the uniformity of the field within the probe so that a single electrode pair can be used to pick up the signal with improved accuracy. The Biomedicus Bioprobe System is sold as an integral part of the Biomedicus Pump Console. The Accuflo™ System is a free standing system permitting expanded utilization of this more accurate flow measurement in non centrifugal, i.e., Roller Pump, pump systems. All remaining differences are cosmetic only.

Dear Mr. Shockley:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major requlations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Requlations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
