Intended Use
The OrthoPAT Perioperative Autotransfusion System is indicated for use to salvage RBCs from blood lost intraoperatively and postoperatively during surgical procedures where the expected rate of processing of salvaged blood and fluid aspirated from the surgical site is less than or equal to 2 liters per hour. Autotransfusion is indicated for patients who meet at least one of the following criteria: The patient is expected to lose sufficient blood in the perioperative period so as to require RBC transfusion, and autotransfusion will likely reduce or eliminate the need for allogeneic blood transfusion. Religious beliefs cause the patient to refuse allogeneic transfusion, but accept autologous transfusion. Compatible allogeneic blood is not available. The patient is unable to donate sufficient quantities of autologous blood prior to surgery to adequately cover the anticipated transfusion requirement. The patient or physician prefers perioperative autotransfusion rather than preoperative autologous donation or transfusion of allogeneic blood.
Device Description
The OrthoPAT® system consists of a single-use disposable set and an electromechanical device. The patient's blood is contained within the disposable set, is used for both intraoperative and postoperative processing (concentration and washing) of shed blood. The concentrated red blood cells are deposited into a bag. The bag is removed from the OrthoPAT system prior to the blood being reinfused. The electromechanical device controls the collection process, the separation and washing process and the flow of fluids through the disposable. It contains a centrifuge, a pneumatic system, a valve system, electronic circuitry, a rechargeable battery, software for monitoring and controlling the operation of the system, and a separately-mounted display panel with a control keypad. The system is compact, light weight, can be mounted on an IV pole or bed frame, and is designed to follow the patient from the operating room, to the recovery room, and, if necessary, to the hospital floor. The on-board rechargeable battery provides power to the system to maintain suction while the patient is being transported. The system functions automatically without a dedicated operator.
More Information

No
The description focuses on electromechanical and software control of a physical process (blood processing) and does not mention any AI/ML terms or capabilities.

Yes.
The device salvages, concentrates, and washes red blood cells from blood lost during surgery for reinfusion, thereby directly treating or preventing a medical condition (need for allogeneic blood transfusion) or affecting the structure or function of the body.

No

This device is designed to salvage and process blood for autotransfusion, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one. It does not provide information about a patient's health status or condition.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of a single-use disposable set and an electromechanical device, which includes hardware components like a centrifuge, pneumatic system, valve system, electronic circuitry, rechargeable battery, and a display panel with a control keypad. While it contains software, it is not a software-only medical device.

Based on the provided information, the OrthoPAT Perioperative Autotransfusion System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. This typically involves tests performed outside the body (in vitro) on samples like blood, urine, tissue, etc., to detect diseases, conditions, or monitor health.
  • The OrthoPAT system's intended use is to salvage, process (concentrate and wash), and reinfuse a patient's own blood. It is a system for handling and preparing blood for transfusion back into the same patient. It does not perform diagnostic tests on the blood to identify diseases or conditions.

The system is a medical device used in a surgical setting for blood management, specifically autotransfusion. While it processes blood, its purpose is not diagnostic.

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

An in vitro simulation of use test of the OrthoPAT system demonstrated the quality of blood product produced by it. Comparative test data were submitted in a prior premarket notification submission (K962475). Total cell recovery ranged from 79% to 88%. Washout efficiency of contaminants ranged from 95% to 100%. This performance is substantially equivalent to the Electromedics PAT 500 system.

Device Description:

The OrthoPAT® system consists of a single-use disposable set and an electromechanical device. The patient's blood is contained within the disposable set, is used for both intraoperative and postoperative processing (concentration and washing) of shed blood. The concentrated red blood cells are deposited into a bag. The bag is removed from the OrthoPAT system prior to the blood being reinfused.

The electromechanical device controls the collection process, the separation and washing process and the flow of fluids through the disposable. It contains a centrifuge, a pneumatic system, a valve system, electronic circuitry, a rechargeable battery, software for monitoring and controlling the operation of the system, and a separately-mounted display panel with a control keypad.

The on-board rechargeable battery provides power to the system to maintain suction while the patient is being transported. The system functions automatically without a dedicated operator.

Intended Use:

The OrthoPAT Orthopedic Perioperative Autotransfusion System is intended for use in surgical procedures to salvage red blood cells lost during and after surgery, where the expected rate of processing of salvaged blood and fluid is less than or equal to two liters per hour. It processes the shed blood to separate and wash the red blood cells (RBCs) and make them available for autologous transfusion to the patient.

Basis for Claim of Substantial Equivalence:

Transfusion Technologies Corporation claims its OrthoPAT Orthopedic Perioperative Autotransfusion System to be substantially equivalent to the Electromedics PAT 500 Portable Autotransfusion System (K910238), based on the following:

Intended Use

The OrthoPAT system and the Electromedics PAT 500 system are intended to collect and concentrate shed blood lost during and after surgery.

2

Design

The OrthoPAT® system and the Electromedics PAT 500 system are a combination of hardware, software and sterile disposables.

In both systems, the shed blood is stored in a sterile collection reservoir until the blood is processed. The red blood cells are concentrated by centrifugation and stored in a bag for subsequent reinfusion to the patient.

The materials used in the disposable sets of both systems are well accepted in the industry for this application

The OrthoPAT system does not utilize air to move fluids within the disposable set, and therefore does not require an air sensor to detect the end of an emptying cycle. In addition, a variable volume rotor moves fluid through the disposable set by way of an elastic diaphragm, which expands and contracts by external air pressure or vacuum. This design eliminates the need for a peristaltic pump.

Performance data

An in vitro simulation of use test of the OrthoPAT system demonstrated the quality of blood product produced by it. Comparative test data were submitted in a prior premarket notification submission (K962475). Total cell recovery ranged from 79% to 88%. Washout efficiency of contaminants ranged from 95% to 100%. This performance is substantially equivalent to the Electromedics PAT 500 system.
