Indications for Use
The Dimesol Tubing Sets for Hemodialysis are single-use sterile medical devices intended to connect the patient to the hemodialyzer and the hemodialysis delivery system in hemodialysis treatment. The compatibility of available configurations is the responsibility of the physician / clinician in charge.
Device Story
Dimesol Tubing Sets are single-use extracorporeal blood circuits connecting patients to hemodialyzers and delivery systems. Components include arterial/venous lines, pump segments, drip chambers with filters, clamps, luer lock connectors, and injection ports. Operated by medical professionals in hospital settings; tubing interfaces with electric peristaltic blood pumps. Device facilitates blood transport, anticoagulant infusion, pressure monitoring, and air bubble trapping. Benefits include maintaining sterile extracorporeal circuit integrity during hemodialysis.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Device performance validated against ISO 8638 (hemodialysis equipment) and ISO 594-2 (conical fittings). Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993 series, including cytotoxicity, sensitization, systemic toxicity, and hemolysis. No clinical data presented.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: PVC, PP, PC, ABS, PE. Components: arterial/venous lines, pump segments, drip chambers, clamps, luer locks. Sterilization: electron beam (SAL 10^-6). Standards: ISO 8638, ISO 594-2, ISO 10993, ISO 9001, ISO 13485. Non-implantable, single-use disposable.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with acute and chronic renal failure requiring hemodialysis treatment.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A hemodialysis system and accessories is a device that is used as an artificial kidney system for the treatment of patients with renal failure or toxemic conditions and that consists of an extracorporeal blood system, a conventional dialyzer, a dialysate delivery system, and accessories. Blood from a patient flows through the tubing of the extracorporeal blood system and accessories to the blood compartment of the dialyzer, then returns through further tubing of the extracorporeal blood system to the patient. The dialyzer has two compartments that are separated by a semipermeable membrane. While the blood is in the blood compartment, undesirable substances in the blood pass through the semipermeable membrane into the dialysate in the dialysate compartment. The dialysate delivery system controls and monitors the dialysate circulating through the dialysate compartment of the dialyzer.(1) The extracorporeal blood system and accessories consists of tubing, pumps, pressure monitors, air foam or bubble detectors, and alarms to keep blood moving safely from the blood access device and accessories for hemodialysis (§ 876.5540) to the blood compartment of the dialyzer and back to the patient. (2) The conventional dialyzer allows a transfer of water and solutes between the blood and the dialysate through the semipermeable membrane. The semipermeable membrane of the conventional dialyzer has a sufficiently low permeability to water that an ultrafiltration controller is not required to prevent excessive loss of water from the patient's blood. This conventional dialyzer does not include hemodialyzers with the disposable inserts (Kiil type) (§ 876.5830) or dialyzers of high permeability (§ 876.5860). (3) The dialysate delivery system consists of mechanisms that monitor and control the temperature, conductivity, flow rate, and pressure of the dialysate and circulates dialysate through the dialysate compartment of the dialyzer. The dialysate delivery system includes the dialysate concentrate for hemodialysis (liquid or powder) and alarms to indicate abnormal dialysate conditions. This dialysate delivery system does not include the sorbent regenerated dialysate delivery system for hemodialysis (§ 876.5600), the dialysate delivery system of the peritoneal dialysis system and accessories (§ 876.5630), or the controlled dialysate delivery system of the high permeability hemodialysis system § 876.5860). (4) Remote accessories to the hemodialysis system include the unpowered dialysis chair without a scale, the powered dialysis chair without a scale, the dialyzer holder set, dialysis tie gun and ties, and hemodialysis start/stop tray.

#### F. Substantial Equivalence
[0004] The Dimesol (DORA) blood tubing sets (or simply "tubing sets") for hemodialysis are considered by the Submitter to be substantially equivalent in construction, design, materials, performance, and intended use to the JMS Blood Tubing Sets (K032975) and/or the Nipro Blood Tubing Set with Transducer Protector and Priming Set (K072024). All of these tubing sets are intended for use as a portion of the extracorporeal blood circuit during hemodialysis and to connect a dialysis patient to a hemodialyzer. The comparison to the JMS Blood Tubing Sets (K032975) is based primarily on structure, components, materials, and other features common to both the Dimesol blood tubing sets and JMS Blood Tubing Sets (K032975). However, the comparison to the Nipro Blood Tubing Set with Transducer Protector and Priming Set (K072024) is based on structure, components, and materials, as well as performance and biocompatibility.
[0005] As detailed in TABLE 3, below, the Dimesol (DORA) blood tubing sets for hemodialysis and the predicate JMS Blood Tubing Sets (K032975) and/or the Nipro Blood Tubing Set with Transducer Protector and Priming Set (K072024) have equivalent structural and materials characteristics. As detailed in TABLE 4, below, the Dimesol (DORA) blood tubing sets for hemodialysis and the predicate JMS Blood Tubing Sets (K032975) and/or the Nipro Blood Tubing Set with Transducer Protector and Priming Set (K072024) have equivalent general characteristics. As illustrated in TABLE 5, below, the Dimesol (DORA) blood tubing sets for hemodialysis were tested for various biocompatibility factors and found to be within the accepted test parameters of ISO 10993. The Nipro Blood Tubing Set with Transducer Protector and Priming Set (K072024) was also determined to meet the requirements of ISO 10993; thus, the two devices are substantially equivalent with regard to biocompatibility. As illustrated in TABLE 6, below, the Dimesol (DORA) blood tubing sets for hemodialysis were tested for various performance characteristics and found to be within the accepted test parameters of ISO 8638 and ISO 594-2. The Nipro Blood Tubing Set with Transducer Protector and Priming Set (K072024) was also determined to meet the requirements of ISO 8638 and ISO 594-2; thus, the two devices are substantially equivalent with regard to performance characteristics.

#### G. Conclusion
[0006] The Dimesol blood tubing sets for hemodialysis are believed to be substantially equivalent in construction, design, materials, performance, and intended use to the JMS Blood Tubing Sets (K032975) and/or the Nipro Blood Tubing Set with Transducer Protector and Priming Set (K072024). All of these tubing sets are intended for use as a portion of the extracorporeal blood circuit during hemodialysis and to connect a dialysis patient to a hemodialyzer. In addition, testing of the Dimesol Blood Tubing Sets for Hemodialysis indicates that they are safe and effective for their intended use. The device labeling contains or includes a Package Insert, which includes indications for use, cautions and warnings, as well as the general operating instructions required for proper use of the device. This information promotes safe and effective use of the blood tubing set. Dimesol, Inc. believes that the information provided in this submission clearly describes the Dimesol Blood Tubing Sets for Hemodialysis and demonstrates that they are believed to be substantially equivalent to the aforementioned predicate device(s).
