Indications for Use
The intended use of the ThermoChem-HT System is to raise the core temperature of the peritoneum to the desired targeted temperature by continuously lavaging the peritoneum with circulating warmed Lactated Ringer's Solution, U.S.P., or another physiologically compatible sterile solution.
Device Story
ThermoChem-HT System circulates warmed Lactated Ringer's solution through peritoneal cavity for hyperthermia therapy. System components: internal water heater/cooler, roller-type fluid pump, disposable circuit (heat exchanger, fluid reservoir, tubing). User places inlet/outlet catheters in patient peritoneum. Fluid gravity drains from outlet to reservoir, passes through roller pump to heat exchanger, then returns to patient. System monitors fluid temperature; touch screen interface guides user through setup/operation; computer stores records. Used in clinical settings by healthcare providers. Benefits patient by achieving targeted peritoneal temperature via continuous lavage.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical trials conducted by the manufacturer. Safety of the recommended temperature for the intended use was supported by published clinical studies involving intra-peritoneal perfusion hyperthermia. Performance, biocompatibility, electrical safety, and electromagnetic compatibility were established based on the use of legally marketed components from cardiopulmonary bypass and peritoneal dialysis systems.
Technological Characteristics
System includes internal water heater/cooler, roller-type fluid pump, and disposable circuit with integrated heat exchanger, fluid reservoir, and tubing. Features touch screen interface and computer record storage. Operates by circulating sterile solutions (e.g., Lactated Ringer's) through a closed-loop system with temperature regulation. Software provides user guidance and data logging.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring peritoneal lavage with warmed sterile solutions to raise core peritoneal temperature. Prescription use only.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
(1) A peritoneal dialysis 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 a peritoneal access device, an administration set for peritoneal dialysis, a source of dialysate, and, in some cases, a water purification mechanism. After the dialysate is instilled into the patient's peritoneal cavity, it is allowed to dwell there so that undesirable substances from the patient's blood pass through the lining membrane of the peritoneal cavity into this dialysate. These substances are then removed when the dialysate is drained from the patient. The peritoneal dialysis system may regulate and monitor the dialysate temperature, volume, and delivery rate together with the time course of each cycle of filling, dwell time, and draining of the peritoneal cavity or manual controls may be used. This generic device includes the semiautomatic and the automatic peritoneal delivery system.(2) The peritoneal access device is a flexible tube that is implanted through the abdominal wall into the peritoneal cavity and that may have attached cuffs to provide anchoring and a skin seal. The device is either a single use peritioneal catheter, intended to remain in the peritoneal cavity for less than 30 days, or a long term peritoneal catheter. Accessories include stylets and trocars to aid in the insertion of the catheter and an obturator to maintain the patency of the surgical fistula in the abdominal wall between treatments. (3) The disposable administration set for peritoneal dialysis consists of tubing, an optional reservoir bag, and appropriate connectors. It may include a peritoneal dialysate filter to trap and remove contaminating particles. (4) The source of dialysate may be sterile prepackaged dialysate (for semiautomatic peritoneal dialysate delivery systems or “cycler systems”) or dialysate prepared from dialysate concentrate and sterile purified water (for automatic peritoneal dialysate delivery systems or “reverse osmosis” systems). Prepackaged dialysate intended for use with either of the peritoneal dialysate delivery systems is regulated by FDA as a drug.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The following accessories are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9: A catheter finger grip that is non-patient contacting and intended for single use with a peritoneal catheter; a continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) belt; and a catheter stand that does not include weigh scales.

## Page 2: 510(k) Summary for ThermoChem-HTTM System
The system heats Lactated Ringer's Solution, U.S.P., or another physiologically compatible sterile solution, and circulates it into and out of the peritoneal cavity. Flow from the patient Outlet Catheter gravity drains into a fluid reservoir, then through to a roller Pump and then to an inline, disposable Heat Exchanger. The Heat Exchanger is interfaced with heated water from a heater/cooler that provides regulated temperature control to the Heat Exchanger. The heated solution then passes to the peritoneal cavity through the Inlet Catheter. The inline reservoir also aids in priming the disposable circuit and maintaining adequate fluid volumes. The system monitors the temperature of the circulating Lactated Ringer's Solution, U.S.P., or another physiologically compatible sterile solution.
## Intended Use
The intended use of the ThermoChem-HT System is to raise the core temperature of the peritoneum to the desired targeted temperature by continuously lavaging the peritoneum with circulating warmed Lactated Ringer's Solution, U.S.P., or another physiologically compatible sterile solution.
## Laboratory/Clinical Tests
The major components of the ThermoChem-HT™ System are legally marketed devices used in either cardiopulmonary bypass systems or peritoneal dialysis systems to circulate warmed fluids. The manufacturers' 510(k) submissions have established the perform-ance, biocompatability, electrical safety, and electromagnetic compatability, as appro-priate, for these components, HemoCleanse, Inc. also provided similar information for the ThemoChem-HT™ System . In addition, HemoCleanse, Inc. provided software verification and validation information and published clinical studies involving intra-peritoneal perfusion hyperthermia that demonstrated the safety of the recommended temperature for the intended use of the ThermoChem-HTTM System.
#### Conclusions
The ThermoChem-HT™ System is substantially equivalent to legally marketed devices intended to circulate warmed fluids through the peritoneal cavity.
