No
The description focuses on the physical components and function of a hollow fiber dialyzer, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

Yes
The device is described as being "used as part of an artificial kidney system for the treatment of patients with renal failure or toxemic conditions," which directly indicates a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device is a dialyzer, a component of an artificial kidney system used for treatment, not for diagnosis. It's designed to remove waste products from the blood, which is a therapeutic function.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical medical device (hollow fiber dialyzer) with physical components and a mechanical function (blood flow, waste removal through a membrane). There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is used as part of an artificial kidney system for treating patients with renal failure or toxemic conditions. This involves directly interacting with the patient's blood extracorporeally.
  • Device Description: The description details how the device filters blood outside the body, removing waste products. This is a therapeutic process, not a diagnostic one.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Language: The text does not mention any diagnostic purpose, such as analyzing samples to determine a disease state or condition.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on clearance rates and ultrafiltration rates, which are measures of the device's ability to filter blood, not its ability to diagnose.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The CLIRANS® T-Series Hollow Fiber Dialyzers are used to treat a condition by filtering blood, which is a therapeutic function.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The performance of the CLIRANS® T-Series Hollow Fiber Dialyzers (T-Series) are substantially equivalent to the performance of the currently marketed largest effective surface area CLIRANS® TAF Hollow Fiber Dialyzer (CL*M151L). The T-Series dialyzers exhibit a somewhat higher clearance and UFR than the M151L which is to be expected with the thinner fiber walls in the T-Series dialyzer. However, none of the data raises any issues of safety or effectiveness. Therefore, the CLIRANS® T-Series Hollow Fiber Dialyzers performance are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

The following clearance tests were performed demonstrating the substantial equivalence of the CLIRANS® T-Series Hollow Fiber Dialyzers submitted in this 510(k) to the largest effective surface area dialyzer (CL*M151L) cleared in the CLIRANS® TAF Hollow Fiber Dialyzer 510(k) K854280.

§ 876.5820 Hemodialysis system and accessories.

(a)
Identification. A hemodialysis system and accessories is a device that is used as an artificial kidney system for the treatment of patients with renal failure or toxemic conditions and that consists of an extracorporeal blood system, a conventional dialyzer, a dialysate delivery system, and accessories. Blood from a patient flows through the tubing of the extracorporeal blood system and accessories to the blood compartment of the dialyzer, then returns through further tubing of the extracorporeal blood system to the patient. The dialyzer has two compartments that are separated by a semipermeable membrane. While the blood is in the blood compartment, undesirable substances in the blood pass through the semipermeable membrane into the dialysate in the dialysate compartment. The dialysate delivery system controls and monitors the dialysate circulating through the dialysate compartment of the dialyzer.(1) The extracorporeal blood system and accessories consists of tubing, pumps, pressure monitors, air foam or bubble detectors, and alarms to keep blood moving safely from the blood access device and accessories for hemodialysis (§ 876.5540) to the blood compartment of the dialyzer and back to the patient.
(2) The conventional dialyzer allows a transfer of water and solutes between the blood and the dialysate through the semipermeable membrane. The semipermeable membrane of the conventional dialyzer has a sufficiently low permeability to water that an ultrafiltration controller is not required to prevent excessive loss of water from the patient's blood. This conventional dialyzer does not include hemodialyzers with the disposable inserts (Kiil type) (§ 876.5830) or dialyzers of high permeability (§ 876.5860).
(3) The dialysate delivery system consists of mechanisms that monitor and control the temperature, conductivity, flow rate, and pressure of the dialysate and circulates dialysate through the dialysate compartment of the dialyzer. The dialysate delivery system includes the dialysate concentrate for hemodialysis (liquid or powder) and alarms to indicate abnormal dialysate conditions. This dialysate delivery system does not include the sorbent regenerated dialysate delivery system for hemodialysis (§ 876.5600), the dialysate delivery system of the peritoneal dialysis system and accessories (§ 876.5630), or the controlled dialysate delivery system of the high permeability hemodialysis system § 876.5860).
(4) Remote accessories to the hemodialysis system include the unpowered dialysis chair without a scale, the powered dialysis chair without a scale, the dialyzer holder set, dialysis tie gun and ties, and hemodialysis start/stop tray.
(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (performance standards) for hemodialysis systems and all accessories directly associated with the extracorporeal blood system and the dialysate delivery system.(2) Class I for other accessories of the hemodialysis system remote from the extracorporeal blood system and the dialysate delivery system, such as the unpowered dialysis chair, hemodialysis start/stop tray, dialyzer holder set, and dialysis tie gun and ties. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.
