Intended Use

The 3i "CelSep" Centrifuge System, is designed for use in the clinical laboratory or intraoperatively at point-of care, for the safe and effective preparation of platelet poor plasma and platelet concentrate from a small sample (50-60ml) of whole blood.

The plasma and concentrated platelets produced can be used for diagnostic tests.

Device Description

"CelSep" Centrifuge System consists of a table-top, non self-decanting, swinging bucket centrifuge and single-use processing disposable, designed to permit rapid and completely self-contained and safe separation of plasma and platelets from a small volume of whole blood. The centrifuge spins at a maximum speed of 3400 rpms at a maximum force of approximately 2050g.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the 3i CelSep Centrifuge System. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a study with specific acceptance criteria and performance metrics in the way a medical device seeking de novo authorization or a clinical trial report would.

Therefore, many of the requested sections (2-9) cannot be fully answered as the provided document does not contain that level of detail regarding a formal study to prove performance against acceptance criteria. The submission is a comparison of technological characteristics to a legally marketed predicate device.

Here's an attempt to extract and interpret the information based on the provided document:


1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" in the traditional sense of performance thresholds for a new device. Instead, the submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to an existing predicate device based on technological characteristics. The "performance" is implied by demonstrating that its characteristics are similar enough to the predicate to perform the intended function safely and effectively.

Note: The performance of the device in terms of preparing platelet poor plasma and platelet concentrate from a small sample of blood is stated as its intended use. The 510(k) process typically relies on demonstrating that the device performs as well as or in a similar manner to the predicate device for its intended use, rather than requiring new, specific performance metrics studies like accuracy, sensitivity, or specificity. The "acceptance criteria" here are essentially the shared technological characteristics with the predicate device, implying that if the characteristics are substantially equivalent, the performance for the intended use will also be equivalent.


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

The provided document does not describe a formal test set, sample size, or data provenance from a prospective or retrospective study to evaluate the device's performance against specific metrics. The submission focuses on comparing the device's technological characteristics to a predicate device.


3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications

This information is not available in the provided 510(k) summary. The submission does not detail a study where ground truth was independently established by experts for a test set.


4. Adjudication Method

This information is not available in the provided 510(k) summary. There is no mention of an adjudication process for a test set.


5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not reported in this 510(k) summary. This type of study is typically associated with AI/CAD devices that assist human readers in interpretation, which is not the function of a centrifuge.


6. If a Standalone (algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

This question is not applicable. The 3i CelSep Centrifuge System is a physical device, not an algorithm, and therefore doesn't have "standalone" algorithm performance in the context of AI/CAD devices. Its operation is independent of human interpretation of algorithmic output.


7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

This information is not available in the provided 510(k) summary. The summary does not describe a study that required establishing 'ground truth' in the context of clinical outcomes, pathology, or expert consensus. The equivalence is based on device characteristics and intended use.


8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This information is not available in the provided 510(k) summary. The device is a centrifuge, not an AI model requiring a training set.


9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

This information is not available in the provided 510(k) summary. The device is a centrifuge, not an AI model requiring a training set and associated ground truth establishment.

COMPARISON OF 3i "CelSep" AND PREDICATE CENTRIFUGE

Features

3i "CelSep"

Predicate Centrifuge

  • (1) The "CelSep" centrifuge is not automatic decanting by design. The processing disposable is completely self-contained and is manually, pneumatically decanting.
  • (2) No imbalance detection feature is required by "CelSep" due in part to the lower speeds required for processing.

Dear Mr. Conety:

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 (OS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic OS 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.
