Intended Use
The Medtronic AFFINITY® NT Hollow Fiber Oxygenator with Plasma Resistant Fiber with Balance™ Biocompatible Surface is intended for use in an extracorporeal perfusion circuit to oxygenate and remove carbon dioxide from the blood and to cool or warm the blood during routine cardiopulmonary bypass procedures up to 6 hours in duration.
Device Description
The Medtronic AFFINITY Oxygenator with Balance" Biocompatible Surface is a single-use, disposable, sterile, nonpyrogenic fluid path, gas exchange device with a self contained, venous-side heat exchanger for regulating blood temperature. The microporous polypropylene hollow fibers are wound around a core and encased in a plastic outer shell. Oxygen flows through the hollow fibers and blood flows from the stainless steel heat exchanger around the hollow fibers. Gas exchange occurs by diffusion across the hollow fiber membrane. A gas outlet is provided for scavenging, and a gas vent prevents over pressurization. The modification to the currently marketed AFFINITY® Hollow Fiber Oxygenator is to coat the primary blood contact surfaces with a non-leaching, biocompatible coating (Balance™).
More Information

No
The description focuses on the physical components, materials, and performance characteristics related to gas exchange and heat regulation in a cardiopulmonary bypass circuit. There is no mention of any computational or algorithmic processes that would suggest the use of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is used in extracorporeal perfusion circuits to oxygenate and remove carbon dioxide from the blood, and to cool or warm the blood, which directly impacts and restores physiological function, classifying it as a therapeutic device.

No

The device is described as an oxygenator which cools or warms the blood, oxygenates it, and removes carbon dioxide during cardiopulmonary bypass procedures. These are therapeutic functions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical, hardware-based medical device (oxygenator with hollow fibers, heat exchanger, plastic shell) used in extracorporeal perfusion. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for use in an extracorporeal perfusion circuit to oxygenate and remove carbon dioxide from blood and to cool or warm blood during cardiopulmonary bypass procedures. This is a direct interaction with the patient's blood outside the body for therapeutic purposes (gas exchange and temperature regulation), not for diagnostic testing.
  • Device Description: The description details a gas exchange device with a heat exchanger. This aligns with the function described in the intended use and does not suggest any diagnostic capabilities.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing blood components, detecting biomarkers, or providing any information for diagnosis. The performance studies focus on the device's ability to perform gas exchange and temperature regulation, not on diagnostic accuracy.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition. This device's function is therapeutic and supportive during a medical procedure, not diagnostic.

STATEMENT OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS COMPARISON

Information regarding technological characteristic comparison is provided in the following section, "Determination of Substantial Equivalence".

DETERMINATION OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

This "Special 510(k)" is being submitted for a modification to the AFFINITY® Hollow Fiber Oxygenator. The modification to the current AFFINITY NT Hollow Fiber Oxygenator is to coat the primary blood contact surfaces with a non-leaching, biocompatible coating (Balance™). In determining substantial equivalence of the AFFINITY®NT Oxygenator with Balance™ Biocompatible Surface the decision-making process follows the 510(k) "Substantial Equivalence" flow diagram and is presented as follows:

The AFFINITY®NT Oxygenator with Balance™ Biocompatible Surface is being "compared to the following Marketed Devices":

  • . AFFINITY® Hollow Fiber Oxygenator (K932252)
  • . MAXIMA FORTÉ® Hollow Fiber Oxygenator with Balance™ Biocompatible Surface with Plasma Resistant Fiber (K984271)

AFFINITY®NT Oxygenator with Balance™ Biocompatible Surface has the "same indications statement and intended uses" as the:

  • . AFFINITY® Hollow Fiber Oxygenator (K932252)
    AFFINITY®NT Oxygenator with Balance™ Biocompatible Surface has "new technological characteristics (e.g.,materials and manufacturing processes)" from the current Medtronic AFFINITY® Hollow Fiber Oxygenator. The new technological characteristic is solely the coating material of the blood pathway:

  • . Polydimethylsiloxane coating
    The technological characteristic of Balance" Biocompatible Surface coating the blood path is common to other adult oxygenators currently in commercial distribution as follows;

  • MAXIMA FORTÉ® Hollow Fiber Oxygenator with Balance™ Biocompatible Surface with . Plasma Resistant Fiber (K984271)

2

This technological characteristic "could affect the safety and effectiveness of the device". However these "new technological characteristics do not raise new types of safety or effectiveness questions". In addition, "there are accepted scientific methods which exist for assessing effects of these new technological characteristics". These scientific methods are provided in the following oxygenator standards;

  • ISO/DIS 7199 (ISO/TC 150/SC 2) International Standard titled "Cardiovascular implants . and artificial organs - Blood-gas exchangers"
  • BG7199-1996 (proposed new American National Standard) titled, "Cardiovascular implants . and artificial organs - Blood-gas exchangers (oxygenators)"
  • ISO 10993-1, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Guidance on selection of . tests; First Edition, 1992-04-15.
  • . Leaching Analysis

"Performance data to assess the effects of these new technological characteristics" has been performed. These "performance data demonstrate" that the AFFINITY NT Oxygenator with Balance" Biocompatible Surface is substantially equivalent to other marketed hollow fiber oxygenators.

The biocompatibility testing and in vitro bench testing demonstrated that when compared to the predicate device the AFFINITY®NT Oxygenator with Balance™ Biocompatible Surface does not significantly affect safety and effectiveness and are substantially equivalent to other commercially distributed hollow fiber oxygenators. The in vitro bench testing included analysis of:

Dear Ms. Kridner:

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 legally marketed predicate 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 regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, 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.
