Regulation
21 CFR 876.5880
Device Class
Class 2
Intended Use
The BEL-GEN® Cold Storage Solution is intended for the flushing and the hypothermic storage of kidney, liver and pancreas organs at the time of organ removal from the donor in preparation for storage, transportation and eventual transplantation into a recipient.
Device Story
BEL-GEN® Cold Storage Solution is a sterile, pyrogen-free, clear to light yellow liquid used for organ preservation. It functions as a flushing and hypothermic storage medium for kidney, liver, and pancreas organs harvested from donors. The solution maintains organ viability during transport prior to transplantation. It is supplied in a bag and used by clinical staff in a transplant or surgical setting. The solution's chemical composition (osmolality ~320 mOsm/kg, sodium 29 mmol/L, potassium 125 mmol/L, pH 7.4) supports organ integrity during cold storage.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Biocompatibility, stability, and chemical identity testing were performed to evaluate the dispensing bag and confirm equivalence to the predicate.
Technological Characteristics
Sterile, non-pyrogenic solution; osmolality 320 mOsm/kg; sodium 29 mmol/L; potassium 125 mmol/L; pH 7.4 at 20°C. Dispensed from a bag. No energy source or software.
Indications for Use
Indicated for flushing and hypothermic storage of kidney, liver, and pancreas organs during donor removal, transport, and preparation for transplantation.
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.

### Device Description
The BEL-GEN® Cold Storage Solution (BEL-GEN Solution) is clear to light yellow, sterile and pyrogen-free solution. BEL-GEN Solution has an approximate osmolality of 320 mOsm/kg, a sodium concentration of 29 mmol/L, a potassium concentration of 125 mmol/L and a pH of 7.4 at 20°C.
## Intended Use / Indications
The BEL-GEN® Cold Storage Solution is intended for the flushing and the hypothermic storage of kidney, liver and pancreas organs at the time of organ removal from the donor in preparation for storage, transportation and eventual transplantation into a recipient.
#### Substantial Equivalence and Summary of Studies
The BEL-GEN Cold Storage Solution device is substantially equivalent to the SPS-1 Static Preservation Solution. The BEL-GEN and SPS-1 solutions have an identical intended use, chemical composition and principle of operation. Both the subject and predicate device are sterile, non-pyrogenic, transparent solutions dispensed from a bag. Technological difference in the dispensing bag has been evaluated through biocompatibility, stability and chemical identity testing. Results of these evaluations did not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness when compared to the predicate device and therefore the BEL-GEN Solution is substantially equivalent to the SPS-1 predicate.

Dear Mr. Warren:
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.

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.
