Indications for Use
The RM3 Renal Preservation System is intended to be used to maintain kidneys for transplant.
Device Story
RM3 Renal Preservation System is a transportable, self-contained device for hypothermic perfusion and monitoring of kidneys prior to transplant. System comprises a control unit and a sterile, single-use disposable cassette. Device circulates hypothermic physiologic solutions through the kidney; monitors, displays, and trends perfusion parameters including flow, temperature, pressure, and renal resistance. Control unit features user-configurable audio/visual alarms for parameter limits and data printing capabilities. Operated by clinical staff in a transplant setting. Provides continuous monitoring during transport to ensure organ viability; assists clinicians in assessing kidney status via real-time parameter tracking.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on design, intended use, and risk analysis of material changes.
Technological Characteristics
Two-part system: control unit and sterile, single-use disposable cassette. Provides hypothermic perfusion of physiologic solutions. Monitors perfusate flow, temperature, pressure, and renal resistance. Features audio/visual alarms and data printing. Material changes in the cassette were validated via risk analysis and biomaterial safety assessment.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the maintenance of kidneys intended for transplant.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An isolated kidney perfusion and transport system and accessories is a device that is used to support a donated or a cadaver kidney and to maintain the organ in a near-normal physiologic state until it is transplanted into a recipient patient. This generic type of device may include tubing, catheters, connectors, an ice storage or freezing container with or without bag or preservatives, pulsatile or nonpulsatile hypothermic isolated organ perfusion apparatus with or without oxygenator, and disposable perfusion set.

#### 3. Intended Use
The RM3 Renal Preservation System is intended to be used to maintain kidneys for transplant.
### 4. Device Description
The RM3 Renal Preservation System is a lightweight, transportable and self-contained renal preservation system, designed to support static monitoring and transportation of kidneys. The RM3 system provides controlled kidney perfusion of hypothermic physiologic solutions, and monitors, displays, trends, and saves important perfusion parameters, including: perfusate flow, temperature, pressure, and renal resistance. The RM3 system control unit can be configured to signal an audio and visual alarm for user-selected limits, and print user-selected data and waveforms.
The RM3 Renal Preservation System is a two-part system comprising a control unit for perfusion and monitoring of one or two kidneys, and a sterile, disposable single-use cassette used to contain and circulate perfusate to the kidneys.
### 5. Substantial Equivalence Comparison
The proposed RM3 Renal Preservation System and the predicate RM3 Renal Preservation System are identical in intended use and methodology. The two systems are substantially similar in system components; they share an identical control unit and both utilize a sterile, single-use, disposable cassette. The cassette module for both the subject and predicate devices are substantially similar in design, configuration and materials. A minor material change in the cassette will improve manufacturability. The material change has been evaluated through risk analysis and a biomaterial safety assessment following established Design Control procedures. The disposable cassette module material changes raise no new questions of safety or effectiveness.
