Altra Fluxed 200 Heinodialyzers are intended for acule or chronic Hemodialysis. Hemodiatysis is indicated for patients with acute or chronic renal failure when conservative therapy is judged to be inadequate. The Altra Flux 200 Hemodialyzer is indicated for single use or multiple use with the same patient.

The Altra Flux® 200 multiple use hemodialyzer is the Altra Flux® 200 single use device with reuse labeling. Like the Altra Flux® 200 single use device, it is used as an artificial kidney in a hemodialysis system to treat patients with acute or chronic renal failure. The blood from a patient flows through the arterial tubing of the extracorporeal blood circuit to the blood compartment of the hemodialyzer, then returns through the venous tubing of the extracorporeal blood system to the patient. The hemodialyzer has semipermeable hollow fibers which divide the device into two compartments. When the blood passes through the hollow fibers, water and toxic waste products from the blood pass through the semipermeable membrane into the dialysate compartment. The dialysate delivery system controls and monitors the dialysate circulating through the dialysate compartment of the hemodialyzer. A high permeability hemodialyzer has a semipermeable membrane that is more permeable to water than that of the conventional dialyzer. This device must be used in conjunction with a controlled dialysate delivery system that incorporates an ultrafiltration controller to prevent excessive loss of water from the patient's blood. This highly permeable, semipermeable membrane may also permit greater loss of high molecular weight substances from the blood, compared with the conventional hemodialyzer.

The provided text describes the Altra Flux® 200 Hemodialyzer with multiple use labeling, focusing on its substantial equivalence to an already marketed single-use device and its validation for reuse. However, it does not explicitly detail specific quantitative acceptance criteria or the full study design with all the requested information for a device performance study.

Based on the information provided, here's what can be extracted and what is not available:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document states that "Testing performed on reprocessed devices demonstrate that the Altra Nova® 200 multiple use hemodialyzer is as safe and effective as the currently marketed Altra Nova® 200 single use hemodialyzer." This implies the acceptance criterion was "as safe and effective as the predicate device" after reprocessing.

However, specific quantitative metrics (e.g., clearance rates, ultrafiltration rates, fiber bundle volume integrity) and their acceptable ranges are not provided in this summary. Therefore, a table cannot be fully completed.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

The document does not specify the sample size used for the "testing performed on reprocessed devices." It also does not mention the data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective).

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

This information is not applicable and hence not provided, as the study described is a performance validation of a medical device, not an AI or diagnostic tool requiring ground truth established by experts. The "ground truth" for a hemodialyzer's performance would be objective measurements of its function.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

This information is not applicable and hence not provided, as the study described is a performance validation of a medical device, not an AI or diagnostic tool requiring adjudication.

5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is typically used for diagnostic imaging devices or AI tools evaluated by multiple human readers. The Altra Flux® 200 Hemodialyzer is a therapeutic device.

6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

This concept is not applicable to a hemodialyzer. The device itself performs its function (filtration), and its performance is measured directly, not through an algorithm or human interpretation.

7. The type of ground truth used

The "ground truth" for the performance of a hemodialyzer would be direct measurements of its functional parameters (e.g., clearance of waste products, ultrafiltration rates, integrity of the membrane). While not explicitly stated, these are typically measured in laboratory settings or in simulated clinical conditions. There is no mention of expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data as "ground truth" in this context.

8. The sample size for the training set

This information is not applicable. The device is a physical medical device, not an AI model requiring a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

This information is not applicable, as there is no training set for a physical medical device.
