Device Description Teleflex Medical offers a line of Chest Drainage and Autotransfusion Systems. This line includes Chest Drainage units with a variety of suction and seal technologies. The three lines are the Wet Suction/Wet Seal, Dry Suction/Wet Seal, and Dry Suction/Dry Seal technologies. The Dry Suction/Dry Seal are branded the Sahara Series. Each technology of Chest Drainage devices can be coupled with an Autotransfusion (ATS) Bag for reinfusion capability. In addition, there is the S-1150-08LF, Pleur-evac Sahara® Plus Continuous Reinfusion Autotransfusion System that can be reinfused from the Drainage Unit. This submission will cover the Sahara reinfusion unit and the ATS Bags that can be mated with the different technology Chest Drainage Units. The Pleur-evac Sahara® Plus Continuous Reinfusion Autotransfusion System (S-1150-08LF) is provided as a sterile unit intended for single patient use. The fluid path is non- Teleflex Medical, Inc. {1}------------------------------------------------ pyrogenic. The Pleur-evac Sahara Plus System is used for the collection and continuous reinfusion of autologous blood. By attaching the Pleur-evac Sahara Autotransfusion Bag (S-100-08LF), the Pleur-evac Sahara Plus System serves as a bag reinfusion system. When autotransfusion is completed, the Pleur-evac Sahara Plus System can serve as a chest drainage collection unit. The Autotransfusion(ATS) Bag is a sterile, non-pyrogenic, single-use, blood collection and reinfusion device intended for the post-surgical, chest-drainage market. The ATS Bag attaches to the appropriate Pleur-evac Chest Drainage System.

The rigid PVC was composed of a copolymer and the manufacturer discontinued the resin. The replacement material (resin) was a homopolymer that was one of the components of the copolymer. | Performance testing was completed to assess the Radio Frequency weld strength, Pressure/Decay, Tensile, Burst and Stress. All testing passed minimum requirements. All biocompatibility testing was completed according to ISO 10993-1 and USP <181>. | | Device Modification | Description of Modification | Summary of Performance Testing | | Material Change: Auto transfusion Bag - IV Strap | The hanger strap material was changed due to supplier material obsolesces. This is a non-patient contacting material. | The change to the top plate was validated through a validation study to ensure that the IV strap material met visual acceptance criteria after aging. | | Supplier Process Change: Header Bags sterile barrier for transportation | Sealing of the header bags changed from an impulse sealer to a hot bar sealer. This is a non-patient contacting process change. | The study investigated three packaging criteria, seal strength, seal width, and seal visual defects that are outlined in Purchasing Specification. All pre- established specifications were met. | | Modification: Replacement of Sterile Water Bottle with Sterile Water Syringe | Changed water delivery from a bottle of sterile water to a syringe. This is a non-patient contacting material. | The component change was validated through design verification activities where four different tests (ship testing, syringe position, tip cover attachment, syringe leakage) were performed to assure safety and performance. To ensure that the prefilled syringe was not negatively impacted by Ethylene Oxide (EtO) a study was performed to measure the amounts of EtO and Ethylene Chlorohydrin after the syringe was sterilized twice. All results passed. | | New Mold: Swabbable Stem (ATS Connector component) | New mold for swabbable stem component which results in dimensional changes. The patient contacting material and function of the component was unchanged. | The functional tests performed include leak testing and needles injection after the swabbable stem was assembled within the ATS connector assembly. A dimensional inspection of swabbable stems was also performed to determine whether the new components produced by the mold met drawing dimensions. All results passed. | | Device Modification | Description of Modification | Summary of Performance Testing | | Modification: Male ATS Connector | Change in component design. The patient contacting material and function of the component was unchanged. | The functional tests included finger engagement, disengagement force, Male ATS connector disengagement clearance and ATS connector separation force. A dimensional inspection was also performed to determine whether the new components produced by the mold met drawing dimensions. All results passed. | | Mold Location and Manufacturer Change: Air Flow Meter | Mold location change due to cost savings efforts to consolidate molding supplier. This is a non-patient contacting component. | The functional tests included correct flow path, no leaks through front of air flow meter and air flow measurement. A dimensional inspection was performed to determine whether the new components produced by the mold met drawing dimensions. All results passed. | | Material and Mold Location Change: Slide Clamp | Mold location change due to cost savings efforts to consolidate molding supplier.
