Single Needle Single Lumen Dialysis is indicated for use when a single venipuncture is chosen for use in chronic or acute hemodialysis treatments.

This application is for adding the option of Single Needle Single Lumen dialysis treatment to the current System 1000® Hemodialysis Machine. Single Needle Single Lumen dialysis is performed by controlling blood flow into and out of the patient with a single needle single lumen blood access, as opposed to dialysis blood access with two needle punctures. Because of the single lumen access, the hemodialysis machine operates cyclically, i.e. part of the time blood is aspirated from the patient (arterial phase), and part of the time blood is infused to the patient (venous phase).

Arterial Phase: During the arterial phase, the venous blood line is clamped, and blood is pumped via the peristaltic blood pump from the patient into the machine's extracorporeal circuit, and into (a) holding chamber(s) until a predetermined volume of blood has been accumulated. When the specified volume has been reached, the blood pump is stopped. The arterial phase is now complete.

Venous Phase: During the venous phase, the venous blood line is unclamped, the arterial blood line is clamped, and the blood in the holding chamber(s) and extracorporeal circuit is returned to the patient. When the venous pressure reaches a predetermined Low Pressure Trip Point, the venous blood line is clamped. At this point, the system returns to the arterial phase, and the cycle starts again.

Single Needle Single Lumen dialysis can be performed using either one peristaltic blood pump or two. (The Arterial and Venous phases described above apply to either system configuration). In systems using two pumps, the second pump returns the blood to the patient (Venous Phase). In systems using one pump, the pressure difference between the venous drip chamber and the patient causes the blood to return to the patient.

Single Needle Single Lumen dialysis (with systems using either one peristaltic pump or two) can be performed using either one line clamp or two. (The Arterial and Venous phases described above apply to either system configuration.) The second (arterial) clamp is required only when a blood line with an arterial drip chamber is used.

This document does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving that a device meets acceptance criteria. Instead, it is a 510(k) summary for a hemodialysis system, focusing on its description, intended use, and substantial equivalence to predicate devices. It lists technological characteristics and safety systems but does not detail performance metrics, study designs, sample sizes, or ground truth establishment.
