Indications for Use

The Amuchina Automatic Reprocessing Machine (ARM) is a device designed for both (a) reprocessing hemodialyzers for reuse, and (b) preprocessing hemodialyzers prior to first use. Reprocessed hemodialyzer will be reused on the same patient on who originally used the hemodialyzer. Both the reprocessing and preprocessing procedures use peracetic acid/hydrogen peroxide based disinfectant.

Device Story

ARM Automatic Reprocessing Machine (ARM) is a standalone, microprocessor-controlled system for automated hemodialyzer reprocessing and preprocessing. Device features 4 stations for simultaneous processing. Input includes hemodialyzers; disinfectant concentrate (peracetic acid/hydrogen peroxide); and AAMI quality water. System performs automated cycles: rinse, cleaning, flush, volume/leak testing, and disinfection. Includes integrated camera for capturing patient photographs for dialyzer labeling to prevent cross-patient reuse. Operated by healthcare facility staff via interactive touch screen. Output includes reprocessed/preprocessed dialyzers and printed labels containing patient data, lot/serial numbers, and test results. System can function as standalone, server, or slave unit in a network. Benefits include standardized cleaning/disinfection, automated testing, and enhanced patient identification safety.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. In-vitro testing confirmed proper dilution of cleaning/disinfectant agents. Functionality testing verified all cycles (rinse, clean, flush, test, disinfect) performed as programmed without errors or failures. No clinical data provided.

Technological Characteristics

Microprocessor-controlled system with interactive touch screen. 4-station configuration. Uses peracetic acid/hydrogen peroxide disinfectant. Requires AAMI quality water (30-115 psig, 15-25°C). Connectivity: standalone, server, or slave network capability. Integrated digital camera for patient identification. Dimensions/form factor: 4-station unit.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients with End-Stage Renal Disease on chronic hemodialysis. Used for reprocessing hemodialyzers for reuse on the same patient and preprocessing hemodialyzers prior to first use.

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.

Legally Marketed Device claiming Substantial Equivalence to, §807.92(a)(3):

Seratronic DRS-4 Dialyzer Reprocessing System, K860674

Description of Device, §807.92(a)(4):

The Amuchina ARM Automatic [Dialyzer] Reprocessing Machine is a stand alone device designed for the automated reprocessing of hemodialyzers for reuse and for the pre-processing of hemodialyzers prior to first use. The ARM Unit has 4 stations which can sequentially process up to 4 dialyzers at one time. The ARM Unit has no direct or indirect patient contact.

The ARM Unit uses a peracetic acid/hydrogen peroxide based disinfectant as both a cleaning solution and a disinfectant. The disinfectant concentrate is diluted to the inuse strength with AAMI quality water.

When reprocessing dialyzers, the ARM Unit uses the following cycles: Rinse, Cleaning, Flush, Volume & Leak Test, and Disinfection. When pre-processing dialvzers, the following cycles are used: Flush, Volume & Leak Test (only if instructed for by the user), and Disinfection.

For regularly scheduled maintenance, the ARM Unit has the following system cycles: System Rinse, System Disinfect, and System Self Test. Other cycles which are included in the ARM Unit include: Prime Pump for priming the chemical pump with the disinfecting agent, Line Volume Calibration for use in determining the total cell volume of the dialyzer, and System Void to purge fluids from the circuits prior to moving the machine.

{1}------------------------------------------------

KO13713-

The ARM Unit incorporates the feature of including a patient photograph on the dialyzer label, thus reducing the possibility of reused dialyzers being used on the wrong patient.

Intended Use of Device, §807.92(a)(5):

The ARM Automatic [Dialyzer] Reprocessing Machine is a device to reprocess hemodialyzers for reuse on the same patient. The patient population are those patients who have End-Stage Renal Disease and are on chronic hemodialysis. The ARM Unit is designed to be either a stand-alone device or act as either a server or a slave Unit in a network of several ARM Units.

The ARM Unit also can pre-processes hemodialyzers prior to first use, where preprocessing is the medical policy of the health care facility.

Non-Clinical Performance Data, §807.92(b)(1):

Each individual function of the ARM Unit was tested to see if they performed as intended/programmed. No errors or failures either-were detected and the performance characteristics of the down-stream processing procedures were not affected by the preceding test(s).

In-vitro testing was performed to assure the ARM Unit properly diluted the cleaner/ disinfectant concentrate to the in-use concentrations of active ingredients. The results from these tests show that the ARM Unit performed as expected.

Conclusions Drawn from Non-Clinical Performance Data, §807.92(b)(3):

The functionality tests on the ARM Unit demonstrate that the ARM Automatic Reprocessing Machine will perform as labeled for the reprocessing of hemodialyzers. The results of these tests demonstrate that the ARM Automatic Reprocessing Machine is substantially equivalent to the DRS-4 Dialyzer Reprocessing System. which is commercially distributed, for the same intended use that is the reprocessing of hemodialyzers for reuse.
