Luer Standards Performance Testing Based on the test results obtained, it can be concluded that all of the standard and custom catheter Luers, custom SUK Luers, and custom catheter vented caps are qualified for use in the assemblies used to manufacture the modified SUK and Solex Catheter with Custom Luers. #### d. Biocompatibility The only material change for the Solex Catheter and SUK has been to the Custom Luers. To verify the biocompatibility of the new materials of the Custom Luers for the Solex Catheter, ZOLL conducted biocompatibility testing on the proximal (modified) portion of the catheter only. Similarly, to verify the biocompatibility of the modified SUK, ZOLL conducted biocompatibility testing on the SUK Custom Luers only. Biocompatibility testing was conducted in accordance with GLP regulations. Because the Custom Luer components located on the SUK and on the proximal end of the catheter have indirect blood contact and prolonged exposure. ZOLL conducted testing based on the classification of an externally communicating device, blood path indirect for prolonged exposure (>24hrs and ≤30 days). Based on this classification, the following categories of biocompatibility tests were performed: Cytotoxicity, Sensitization, Irritation/Intracutaneous Reactivity, Acute Systemic Toxicity and Hemocompatibility. The biocompatibility test results are shown in Table 7. {15}------------------------------------------------ ### Table 7. Biocompatibility Testing {16}------------------------------------------------ The results of the testing demonstrate that the modified SUK and the modified Solex Catheter with Custom Luers are biocompatible for their intended use and the modifications made to the subject devices do not adversely affect the established biocompatibility of the predicate devices. ### e. Usability/Human Factors Pursuant to FDA's guidance document entitled, "Draft Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff - Applying Human Factors and Usability Engineering to Optimize Medical Device Design" Human Factors testing was conducted as follows: ### 1. Summary of Formative Testing Human factors formative testing was performed to determine if users trained according to the IFU can properly perform the following: - Identify infusion lumens, (proximal, medial, and distal) ● - Properly connect the IN and OUT Luers to the Start-Up Kit (SUK) ● - Identify the saline IN and OUT Luers - . Identify any lumen that is appropriate for pharmacological infusate. - . Disconnect the Saline IN and OUT track (SUK Luers) including evacuating the saline from the catheter using a syringe. User tasks were based on identifying and (or) making proper connections as documented in the Formative Human Factors Protocol for ZOLL Custom Luers. The test session ran over the course of two days. Four scenarios were presented, and participants were evaluated based on 14 predefined success metrics. All participants correctly executed each scenario, with no failures. All participants who received representative level of training and had access to the IFU successfully completed all of the tasks. This indicates that the device design, training content and the IFU adequately mitigate the risk of misconnections. No device design, training or IFU modifications were indicated based on this formative test. ### 2. Summary of Summative Testing Human factors summative testing was performed to evaluate if users trained according to the ZOLL Custom Luer Training Program and IFU can properly perform the following: {17}------------------------------------------------ - Match the new catheter and new Start-Up Kit (SUK) with Custom Luers - Place 20 cc syringe on saline hook on Thermogard XP (TGXP) console ● - Connect the IN and OUT Luers on the catheter to its counterpart on the SUK . - Select an infusion lumen for an IV infusion - . Use 20 cc syringe for aspiration of saline after a catheter is used as a CVC after temperature management therapy ends - Aspirate saline prior to catheter removal ● A total of five scenarios were presented, and each participant had to correctly answer questions 9-13 to achieve a passing score. All other questions (1-8, 14-15) required a minimum of an 80% passing score. The acceptance criteria were met with 100% of the users passing the critical tests (9-13). All of the non-critical items (1-8 and 14-15) were passed with at least 12 participants passing (80%). All participants who received training and followed the IFU successfully met the acceptance criteria. This testing confirms that the custom Luer design, training, and IFU facilitate appropriate catheter and SUK connections. No device design, training or IFU modifications were indicated based on the summative evaluation. ### V. Summary of Clinical Tests Performed: Clinical evaluations were not necessary to evaluate the modifications incorporated in the Solex Catheter and SUK to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate devices. #### VI. Substantial Equivalence: Based on the results of the Bench Performance, Packaging Validation (SUK only), Biocompatibility, and Usability testing, the modified Solex Catheter (Solex 7 Catheter) and modified SUK are substantially equivalent to the currently cleared Solex Catheter (K141139), Cool Line Catheter (K101987), and SUK (K014241) with respect to intended use/indication for use, technological characteristics, and principles of operation and that the modifications do not affect the performance or function of the devices. The minor differences in the design between the modified and cleared devices, do not raise any new types of safety or effectiveness questions as confirmed by design verification testing. Therefore, the modified Solex Catheter (Solex 7 Catheter) and modified SUK are substantially equivalent to the previously cleared predicate devices. #### VII. Conclusions: ZOLL concludes that based on the results of the Bench Performance. Packaging Validation (SUK only). Biocompatibility, and Usability testing, that the modified Solex Catheter (Solex 7 Catheter) and modified SUK are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
