Device Description

The BIOTRANS Pressure Monitoring Systems consist of the sterile, single-use BIOTRANS Pressure Monitoring Kits and reusable BIOTRANS Reusable Sensor Bases and Monitor Adapter Cables. The single-use BIOTRANS Pressure Monitoring Kits provide the sterile fluid pathway components that deliver IV solution to maintain catheter patency via the administration set components. transducer dome assembly and extension set, and convey the hemodynamic waveform from the patient's catheter to the reusable sensor (provided separately). The pressure waveform is conveyed to the sensor via two compliant diaphragms which are brought into intimate contact during set up of the device by the end-user. All fluid contact occurs within the sterile single-use kit components.

AI/ML Overview

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Meet American National Standard for Blood Pressure Transducers (ANSI/AAMI BP22-1994) performance and safety requirements.The BIOTRANS domes, when affixed to the BIOTRANS reusable sensor bases, meet American National Standard for Blood Pressure Transducers (ANSI/AAMI BP22-1994) performance and safety requirements. After exposure to pressures up to 4000 mm Hg, as required, BIOTRANS sensors meet accuracy and safety requirements, indicating adequate protection from overpressure.
Meet FDA and ISO biocompatibility requirements (ISO-10993-1 and G95-1).All dome assembly materials meet the FDA and ISO biocompatibility requirements listed in ISO-10993-1 and G95-1. All other materials are either currently employed in legally marketed products with identical blood exposure, or are used in the fabrication of devices with a long history of safe and effective use for identical applications.
Meet tensile and leak test requirements listed in International Standard ISO 8536-4 Infusion equipment for medical use- Part 4: Infusion sets for single use.All bonded joints meet tensile and leak test requirements listed in International Standard ISO 8536-4 Infusion equipment for medical use- Part 4: Infusion sets for single use.
History of complaints for administration sets (comparable to those marketed in US).BSI's administration sets have been marketed in Asia and Europe for over 5 years with no history of complaints. They are of identical design to administration sets currently marketed in the US.

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

The document does not explicitly state the sample sizes used for testing each individual criterion (e.g., number of domes tested for pressure performance, number of materials tested for biocompatibility, number of bonded joints tested for tensile/leak).

  • Provenance: The document implies that parts of the testing were conducted to meet US (ANSI/AAMI) and international (ISO) standards. The administration sets' performance history is cited for "Asia and Europe." The testing appears to be retrospective in the sense that it evaluates the manufactured device against established standards.

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

Not applicable. The performance data is based on engineering testing against established performance and safety standards (ANSI/AAMI, ISO) for medical devices, rather than expert interpretation of a test set.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

Not applicable. The evaluation is based on meeting predefined technical specifications and standards, not on expert consensus or adjudication of interpretations.

5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done:

No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. The document describes a technical evaluation of the device's performance against established industry standards.

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

Yes, the study describes a standalone evaluation of the device's physical and functional performance (e.g., meeting pressure requirements, biocompatibility, leak tests) without human interaction influencing the core performance metrics.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

The ground truth used consists of established performance and safety standards for medical devices, specifically:

  • American National Standard for Blood Pressure Transducers (ANSI/AAMI BP22-1994)
  • FDA and ISO biocompatibility requirements (ISO-10993-1 and G95-1)
  • International Standard ISO 8536-4 Infusion equipment for medical use- Part 4: Infusion sets for single use.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

Not applicable. This device is a physical medical monitoring kit, not an AI/algorithm-based device that requires a training set.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established:

Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device.

The pressure waveform is conveyed to the sensor via two compliant diaphragms which are brought into intimate contact during set up of the device by the end-user.

All fluid contact occurs within the sterile single-use kit components.

6. Intended Use:

The BSI BIOTRANS Pressure Monitoring Kits are designed for use with the BIOTRANS Sensor Bases.

Kits containing integral 3- and 40 cc/hr flush devices are designed for use in physiologic pressure measurements where continuous flow is required to maintain catheter patency. The 40 cc/hr flush devices are included in Kits designed for neonatal applications in coniunction with a properly calibrated fluid delivery pump. Kits supplied without flush devices are intended for use in monitoring applications where no saline flush is required.

The predicate Medex Disposable Pressure Monitoring Kits are designed for use with the Medex Reusable Transducers.

The predicate Ohmeda and Utah Medical Products' Pressure Monitoring Kits which include 3cc flush devices are intended for use in physiologic pressure measurements which require continuous flow to maintain catheter patency. Those kits that employ a

30cc/hr flush device are intended for use in neonatal applications. This 30 cc flush device requires the use of a properly calibrated infusion pump.

Ohmeda's DTX Disposable Transducer Kit, Model TNF-R, does not include a flush device. No indications for use are indicated in its labeling for this model. The tacit assumption is that these kits are intended for pressure monitoring purposes where continuous flow is not required, or in conjunction with a stand-alone flush device.

7. Summary of Technological Characteristics of Device in relation to Predicate Device(s)

The BIOTRANS Pressure Monitoring Kit domes incorporate a snap-fit configuration to ensure intimate mechanical contact of the dome diaphragm with the reusable sensor base diaphragm. The predicate Medex domes employ a bayonet mechanism for this purpose.

The BIOTRANS Kits are available in configurations that employ the silicone rubber component of the flush control device as a pressure relief mechanism. This mechanism is only available as an integral part of fast flush and flow control devices of the predicate devices.

Atthough the same generic materials and components are used for BIOTRANS and predicate devices, different formulations and vendors are used.

8. Assessment of Performance Data used to justify Substantial Equivalence Claim

The BIOTRANS domes, when affixed to the BIOTRANS reusable sensor bases, meet American National Standard for Blood Pressure Transducers (ANSI/AAMI BP22-1994) performance and safety requirements. These requirements are also met by the predicate Medex reusable pressure transducers.

After exposure to pressures up to 4000 mm Hg, as required in ANSI/AAMI BP22-1994, BIOTRANS sensors meet accuracy and safety requirements, indicating that the pressure relief mechanism provides the sensor with adequate protection from overpressure.

All dome assembly materials meet the FDA and ISO biocompatibility requirements listed in ISO-10993-1 and G95-1. respectively. All other materials are either currently employed in legally marketed products with identical blood exposure, or are used in the fabrication of devices with a long history of safe and effective use for applications identical to those indicated for the BIOTRANS Pressure Monitoring Kits.

All bonded ioints meet tensile and leak test requirements listed in International Standard ISO 8536-4 Infusion equipment for medical use- Part 4: Infusion sets for single use.

BSI's administration sets have been marketed in Asia and Europe for over 5 years with no history of complaints. They are of identical design to administration sets currently marketed in the US.

9. Conclusion:

The BIOTRANS Pressure Monitoring Kits meet performance and safety standards listed in American National Standard for Blood Pressure Transducers and are safe and effective for their intended use.
