The intended use of the CRIT-LINE III TQA Monitor is as a non-invasive hematocrit, oxygen saturation, and percent change in blood volume monitor. The CRIT-LINE III TQA Monitor also non-invasively estimates access recirculation and non-invasively estimates access blood flow. In addition, the CLM III TQA Monitor calculates an estimated Urea Reduction Ratio based on relative changes in urea nitrogen concentration in the spent dialysate.
Device Story
CRIT-LINE III TQA (CLM III TQA) is a non-invasive monitor for hemodialysis patients; measures hematocrit, oxygen saturation, percent change in blood volume, access recirculation, and access blood flow. New functionality includes URR estimation via optical sensor attached to spent dialysate stream. Sensor emits light through dialysate; constituents absorb light; transmitted light detected to calculate relative urea nitrogen concentration. Used in clinical hemodialysis settings; operated by healthcare professionals. Output provides real-time data on treatment efficiency and vascular access status; assists clinicians in monitoring dialysis adequacy and patient safety.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical evaluation conducted between Jan 1 and May 10, 2001, involving 51 data points from 36 patients. Compared CLM III TQA calculated URR to EktaChem DT60 reference measurements. Analysis yielded a standard error of 5.8 mg/dL and R=0.84. In-vitro calibration testing against the same reference analyzer in the 0-83 mg/dL range demonstrated a standard error of 1.2 mg/dL and R2=0.998.
Technological Characteristics
Non-invasive optical sensor; utilizes light emission and detection through spent dialysate stream. Measures optical density to estimate urea nitrogen concentration. Device is a Class II hemodialysis monitor. Connectivity and software details not specified beyond sensor integration.
Indications for Use
Indicated for hemodialysis patients requiring non-invasive monitoring of hematocrit, oxygen saturation, blood volume changes, access recirculation, access blood flow, and estimated Urea Reduction Ratio (URR).
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A hemodialysis 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 an extracorporeal blood system, a conventional dialyzer, a dialysate delivery system, and accessories. Blood from a patient flows through the tubing of the extracorporeal blood system and accessories to the blood compartment of the dialyzer, then returns through further tubing of the extracorporeal blood system to the patient. The dialyzer has two compartments that are separated by a semipermeable membrane. While the blood is in the blood compartment, undesirable substances in the blood pass through the semipermeable membrane into the dialysate in the dialysate compartment. The dialysate delivery system controls and monitors the dialysate circulating through the dialysate compartment of the dialyzer.(1) The extracorporeal blood system and accessories consists of tubing, pumps, pressure monitors, air foam or bubble detectors, and alarms to keep blood moving safely from the blood access device and accessories for hemodialysis (§ 876.5540) to the blood compartment of the dialyzer and back to the patient. (2) The conventional dialyzer allows a transfer of water and solutes between the blood and the dialysate through the semipermeable membrane. The semipermeable membrane of the conventional dialyzer has a sufficiently low permeability to water that an ultrafiltration controller is not required to prevent excessive loss of water from the patient's blood. This conventional dialyzer does not include hemodialyzers with the disposable inserts (Kiil type) (§ 876.5830) or dialyzers of high permeability (§ 876.5860). (3) The dialysate delivery system consists of mechanisms that monitor and control the temperature, conductivity, flow rate, and pressure of the dialysate and circulates dialysate through the dialysate compartment of the dialyzer. The dialysate delivery system includes the dialysate concentrate for hemodialysis (liquid or powder) and alarms to indicate abnormal dialysate conditions. This dialysate delivery system does not include the sorbent regenerated dialysate delivery system for hemodialysis (§ 876.5600), the dialysate delivery system of the peritoneal dialysis system and accessories (§ 876.5630), or the controlled dialysate delivery system of the high permeability hemodialysis system § 876.5860). (4) Remote accessories to the hemodialysis system include the unpowered dialysis chair without a scale, the powered dialysis chair without a scale, the dialyzer holder set, dialysis tie gun and ties, and hemodialysis start/stop tray.

# e. Reason for Pre-market Notification
The reason for this pre-market notification is to claim that the CLM III TQA can non-invasively measure the Urea Reduction Ratio based on detected changes in the urea nitrogen concentration in the spent dialysate. The URR is a key indicator as to the efficiency of a hemodialysis treatment. It indicates the extent of toxin urea removal from the patient's body as a result of the blood flowing across one side of the dialyzer with continuous counter-flow of dialysate on the opposite side of the dialyzer membrane.
NOTE: The CLM III TOA is already cleared for the non-invasive measurement of Hct, O2 Sat, and Percent Change in Blood Volume. In addition, the CLM III TOA estimates access recirculation and transcutaneously estimates Access Blood Flow. URR is an additional claim for this already cleared device.
# f. Identification of Legally Marketed Device Which We Claim Substantial Equivalency
The predicate method which was used to compare the urea nitrogen concentration measurements of the CLM III TQA includes the following:
# EktaChem DT60 (Vitros DT60 Chemistry System):
The DT60 is a Vitros DT slide analyzer that performs a number of discrete clinical tests on serum, plasma, or whole blood using optical density techniques. Each Vitros DT slide, therefore contains analyte-specific reaction reagents whose resulting product is a molecule with a given color. The amount of colored product or the optical density is therefore directly dependent on the original analyte concentration delivered onto the Vitros DT slide. Optical density measurements are performed with a fiber optic-based excitation and detection scheme employing one of three LED's (red. green. yellow) and one photodetector.
# Vitros DT Slide Characteristics Specific for BUN/UREA:
The BUN/ UREA DT slide is a multilayered dry film contained within a plastic support. All reagents specific to urea are self-contained within the slide. Color development results from the hydrolysis of urea to ammonia and carbon dioxide by the urease enzyme. The resulting ammonia subsequently reacts with an indicator to produce a highly colored dye.
#### Compliance with Requirements of the Federal FD&C Act: g.
The Gastrointestinal and Restorative Device (DGRD) Panel has classified this device as Class II, 21 CFR Part 876.5820

# SECTION 2 - INTENDED USE
The intended use of the CRIT-LINE III TQA Monitor is as a non-invasive hematocrit, oxygen saturation, and percent change in blood volume monitor. The CRIT-LINE III TQA Monitor also non-invasively estimates access recirculation and non-invasively estimates access blood flow. In addition, the CLM III TOA Monitor calculates an estimated Urea Reduction Ratio based on relative changes in urea nitrogen concentration in the spent dialysate.
### SECTION 3 - DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The CRIT-LINE III TQA is an FDA cleared device that non-invasively measures Hct, O2 Sat, Percent Change in Blood Volume. The CLM III TOA also estimates Access Recirculation and Access Blood Flow. The URR sensor is an additional attachment to the CRIT-LINE III TOA. The optical light emitted by the URR sensor is directed through the spent dialysate stream and absorbed by the constituents of the spent dialysate. The transmitted light is then detected and the relative urea nitrogen concentration in the spent dialysate is calculated.
## SECTION 4-COMPARATIVE INFORMATION
#### a. Comparative Performance Evaluation:
# IN-VIVO UREA NITROGEN DETECTION
Between January 1 and May 10, 2001, 51 data points were gathered in-vivo on 36 patients comparing the CLM III TQA's calculated URR based on relative urea nitrogen concentration measurements in the spent dialysate to URR measurements as calculated by the EktaChem DT 60 based on urea nitrogen concentration measurements in both blood and spent dialysate.
Once the data was gathered, an analysis of the data was performed. Relative urea nitrogen concentrations measured by the CLM III TQA URR sensor were first compared with that measured by the EktaChem DT 60. The analysis vielded a standard error of 5.8 mg/dL and an R of 0.84. Since each patient run has its own characteristics which can be cancelled through the ratio during the URR calculation, the accuracy of this comparison is not affecting the accuracy of calculated URR.
# IN-VITRO UREA NITROGEN CALIBRATION:
In addition to the in-vivo data that was gathered from the patients in a clinical setting, the same optical-based CLM III TQA URR sensor as mentioned above was calibrated with pure urea dissolved in fresh dialysate solution. The URR sensor measurement at each urea nitrogen concentration was compared with the
{3}------------------------------------------------
reference urea nitrogen concentration measured by a Kodak EktaChem DT 60 analyzer.
In the urea nitrogen concentration range of 0 ~ 83 mg/dL, the CLM III TQA URR sensor measurements had a standard error of 1.2 mg/dL and an R2 of 0.998 when compared to the reference measurements obtained from EktaChem DT 60. These results indicate that the CLM III TQA URR sensor and the Kodak EktaChem DT 60 analyzer are substantially equivalent in the measurement of urea nitrogen concentration in an in-vitro assay.
