Intended Use
The Ranger Rapid Flow blood/fluid warming system is intended to deliver warm blood, blood products, and liquids to adult and pediatric patients.
Device Story
Ranger Rapid Flow is a stand-alone blood/fluid warming system for clinical use. It accepts blood/fluid bags (250cc-1000cc) and delivers them under pressure (300 mmHg) to achieve high flow rates. The system comprises a warming unit with aluminum plates (dry-heat) and a disposable set with a heat exchanger, bubble trap, and patient line. Operation involves PID-controlled heating (42°C setpoint) and automated fluid management; sensors in the bubble trap detect fluid levels to control a patient valve. If fluid levels are inadequate, the valve closes and pressure is exhausted from the infusors to prevent air delivery. The system provides continuous temperature monitoring and audible/visual alarms for unsafe conditions. It benefits patients by preventing hypothermia during high-volume fluid resuscitation.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Dry-heat aluminum plate warming system; PID-controlled electronics; 300 mmHg pressure infusors; disposable set includes heat exchanger, bubble trap, and patient line; sterilization via 100% Ethylene Oxide; flow rates up to 1200 mL/min.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult and pediatric patients requiring delivery of warmed blood, blood products, and liquids.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An infusion pump is a device used in a health care facility to pump fluids into a patient in a controlled manner. The device may use a piston pump, a roller pump, or a peristaltic pump and may be powered electrically or mechanically. The device may also operate using a constant force to propel the fluid through a narrow tube which determines the flow rate. The device may include means to detect a fault condition, such as air in, or blockage of, the infusion line and to activate an alarm.

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21

#### Description of Device
The Ranger Rapid Flow blood/fluid warming system is a stand-alone system that warms fluid, detects fluid level within the bubble trap, controls a patient valve, and delivers high volumes of fluid under pressure. The warming system consists of warming plates, fluid detection, valve control, pressure infusors and a fluid warming disposable set.
#### Ranger Rapid Flow blood/fluid warming unit
The warming unit consists of the clectronic control circuitry and aluminum plates contacted by heating elements, also known as dry-heat. With a setpoint of 42°C that is PID controlled, the displayed temperature is an avcrage of the fluid and plate temperature.
The air detection has two sensors that detect the fluid level (absence of air) and controls a patient valve. If the fluid level is not adequate, the patient valve closes and stops flow to the patient. When the fluid level is adcquate the patient valve opens, allowing the flow of fluid to the patient. This functionality is also tied to the operation of the pressure infusors. If the patient valve closes, the pressure is exhausted from the pressure infusors. Only if the fluid level is adequate and the valve is open can the pressure infusors be pressurized. The pressure infusor interface provides feedback to the user.
The pressure infusors accept solution bags ranging from 250cc to 1000cc. Each side of the pressure infusor is controlled independently. The pressure infusors are set to 300 mmHg and provide fluid under pressure to achieve a higher flow.
The system continuously monitors temperature and detects air in the fluid path to ensure safe operation and alarms at all unsafe conditions. The main panel on the front of the unit displays the temperature and status of the warming unit.
#### Ranger Rapid Flow disposable set
The disposable set is an integral component to the Ranger Rapid Flow blood/fluid warming system. The set has spike/filter drip chambers, heat exchanger, bubble trap, patient line with injection ports, tubing, luer locks, and other standard administration set components. The spike/drip chambers can be casily replaced during a procedure. There is an option for dual or triple spike disposable sets. The heat exchanger makes contact with the heating plates to warm the fluid. The bubble trap captures and vents air from the system. Sensors monitor the fluid level within the bubble trap and control a valve on the disposable to stop or allow flow to the patient.

## Discussion of Nonclinical Studies and Clinical Tests
Clinical tests were not necessary regarding the use of the Rangor Rapid Flow blood/fluid warming system.
#### Conclusion
The Ranger Rapid Flow blood/fluid warming system has similar technological characteristics, components, and materials, and the same intended use as devices contently on the market. Therefore, because of the similarities to the predicate devices, Arizant Healthcare this new device does not raise any new safety or effectivencss issues.
