The blood tubing sets are used to transport blood or fluids to a patient's vascular access device from a hemodialyzer. The reverse is also true in that the tubing set is used as to transport blood or fluids from a patient's vascular access device to a hemodialyzer.

The tubing sets that we intend to market include arterial and venous dialysis blood tubing (nonimplanted blood access device) as described in 21 CFR 876.5540. Various models of blood tubing sets are being manufactured for application with different dialysis machines. Twenty-seven arterial line models (A001 - A021, A026, A029-A032, and A035) and 14 venous line models are described (V600 -V607, V609 - V613, and V616). All components of blood tubing, including drip chambers, infusion tubing, monitor lines, ports and segments which are used to pump blood, retain and capture air and blood debris, infuse medications or fluids, sample blood, monitor pressure, and make connections to other devices are included. The materials used for the components include polyethylene (PE), polyvinylchloride (PVC), acrylonitrate butadiene styrene (ABS), polyoxymethylene (POM), polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC) and polyethylene high density (PEHD).

The Nipro Safelet Cath is intended to be inserted into a patient's vascular system for short-term use (less than 30 days) to sample blood, monitor blood pressure, or administer fluids intravenously.

The devices that we intend to market are intravascular catheters as described in 21 CFR 880.5200. These devices are identical to those already marketed by Exel International, Inc. under K895768. Two types of catheters will be available: the container case types L (long) and S (short). Type L catheters have needles 11/2 to 21/2 inches long and Type S have needles 3/4 to 11/4 inches long. Six gauges of catheters are described here (14, 16, 18, 20, 22, and 24 gauge). The tip of the cannula is beveled. The proximal end of the catheter has a filter cap.
