Intended Use

The Fresenius iCare Monitoring System is a computer-based hemodialysis treatment monitoring system for adjunctive use with the Fresenius 2008 series dialysate delivery system when the patient is attended by trained personnel. This monitoring system is contraindicated as the sole method of monitoring a patient during hemodialysis.

Device Story

The Fresenius iCare Monitoring System is a computer-based software system designed for adjunctive monitoring of hemodialysis treatments. It interfaces with the Fresenius 2008 series dialysate delivery system to provide additional oversight during dialysis. The system is intended for use in clinical settings where patients are attended by trained personnel. It is explicitly contraindicated as the sole monitoring method, serving instead as a supplementary tool for healthcare providers. By providing computer-based monitoring, the system assists clinicians in observing treatment parameters, thereby supporting clinical decision-making and potentially enhancing patient safety during hemodialysis procedures.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Validation testing was performed to verify system features, confirming the device is safe and effective for its intended use.

Technological Characteristics

Computer-based monitoring system; adjunctive to Fresenius 2008 series dialysate delivery system. Software-based monitoring functionality.

Indications for Use

Indicated for adjunctive monitoring of hemodialysis patients undergoing treatment with Fresenius 2008 series dialysate delivery systems. Contraindicated as the sole method of patient monitoring; requires attendance by trained personnel.

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.
