The 2008T BlueStar Hemodialysis Machine is indicated for acute and chronic dialysis therapy in a healthcare facility.

Additional therapy options for patients receiving hemodialysis include: Isolated Ultrafiltration, Sustained Low Efficiency Dialysis (SLED), and low volume hemodialysis (patients weighing ≥ 20kg and ≤ 40 kg). This machine accommodates the use of both low flux and high flux dialyzers. The SLED therapy option is not to be used for patients weighing ≤ 40 kg. The 2008T BlueStar Hemodialysis Machine is not to be used for plasma replacement therapies, for patients weighing less than 20 kg, or for renal therapies using substitution fluid.

The 2008T BlueStar Hemodialysis Machine is an electromechanical device. Software controls the machine during hemodialysis treatment, including fluid flow, mixing, heating, and alarms.
The 2008T BlueStar Hemodialysis Machine provides hemodialysis treatment by controlling and monitoring both the dialysate circuit and the extracorporeal blood circuit. The machine pumps blood from the patient's body through an extracorporeal circuit, one component of which is the dialyzer. The dialyzer contains a semi-permeable membrane that uses diffusion to transfer toxins and ultrafiltration to transport excess water from the blood into the dialysate circuit. In this separate dialysate circuit, the dialysate concentrates are mixed with purified water, heated, degassed, and delivered to the dialyzer. Balancing chambers control the incoming flow and outgoing flow of the dialysate fluid during ultrafiltration. During hemodialysis, the extracorporeal blood circuit is monitored for venous and arterial blood pressures as well as for the presence of air and blood.
The 2008T BlueStar Hemodialysis Machine has automation features (independent internal conductivity testing, auto priming, auto start, CDX auto on, assisted reinfusion) to minimize user workload and improve user experience. The 2008T BlueStar Hemodialysis Machine includes SLED (Sustained Low Efficiency Dialysis), Low Volume, and Isolated Ultrafiltration therapy options. The 2008T BlueStar Hemodialysis Machine also accommodates the use of the Patient Card system, a dialysis treatment information system.

Based on the provided FDA 510(k) Clearance Letter, the device in question is the 2008T BlueStar Hemodialysis Machine. This document is a Class II Medical Device submission, which means it relies on substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than a clinical trial proving new efficacy. Therefore, the "acceptance criteria" and "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" in this context are focused on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than establishing new clinical effectiveness benchmarks through a de novo study.

The primary study type proving the device meets the "acceptance criteria" for 510(k) clearance is a comparison to a predicate device and supporting non-clinical performance and safety testing.

Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The "acceptance criteria" for a 510(k) submission are typically related to demonstrating that the new device meets the same performance specifications as the predicate and does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. The reported device performance is presented as its features and specifications.
