| | FDA Product<br>Code/Device<br>Common Name: | JCX – Apparatus, Suction, Ward Use, Portable, Ac-Powered |
| | Regulation Number<br>and Description;<br>Device Classification: | 21 CFR 878.4780 – Powered suction pump; Class II |
| | Predicate Device | IntelliCart™ System (K162421) |
| | Device Description | The IntelliCart™ System is a self-powered suction / vacuum pump intended<br>to collect and dispose of liquid waste within hospital operating rooms,<br>pathology labs, surgical outpatient centers, and doctor's offices. |
| | | The IntelliCart™ System (System) consists of a Fluid Cart (Cart) and Evac<br>Station (Evac). |
| | | Carts are mobile devices used during surgery to collect patient fluids. Evacs<br>are stationary devices used to process and clean Carts. The System's closed<br>design significantly reduces employee exposure to potentially infectious<br>surgical fluids, while eliminating up to 70% of operating room red bag<br>waste. |
| | | Carts are equipped with large volume fluid reservoirs, a single regulated<br>vacuum pump, and a height-adjustable IV pole. A single-use manifold (REF<br>00-5140-201-00) serves as the interface between a Cart's fluid reservoir and<br>sterile patient suction tubing. A Cart model equipped with a bracket to hold<br>a Smoke Evacuator is also available. |
| | Intended Use: | The IntelliCart™ System is a self-powered suction/vacuum pump intended<br>to collect and dispose of liquid waste within Hospital Operating Rooms,<br>Pathology Labs, Surgical Outpatient Centers, and Doctor's Offices. |
| | Technological<br>Characteristics | The IntelliCart™ System is a closed self-powered suction device providing<br>various levels of suction, as selected by the user, ranging from 0-600 mmHg |
{4}------------------------------------------------
at maximum flow volume, and collection of up to 34L of liquid surgical waste into cart canisters equipped with a viewing window for display of canister contents shown in 100ml increments. The suction cart is portable, equipped with caster type wheels with a profile able to pass through 36 inch minimum wide doorways and allows for connection to a standard 120V/60Hz/15A facility power supply and connection to facility wall suction when necessary. Cart Canisters are integrated with a window tint feature that visually restricts canister contents during transport.
The IntelliCart™ System is operated using a back lit LCD touch screen display monitor equipped with lateral adjustment capabilities and provides digital display confirmation of total fluid capacity used as well as a functional interface for suction selection/adjustment and cart cleaning.
Single use manifolds are equipped with hydrophobic filters which turn color after wash cycle is completed, giving visual indication of a manifold which must be discarded.
The Evac Station is equipped with a coupler that connects to the Suction Cart and, using compatible bleach and enzymatic solutions to break down solid waste, empties, cleans and disinfects cart canisters. After emptying and cleaning cart canisters, the Evac Station allows for draining surgical waste into facility drains.
The IntelliCart™ System can be equipped with a powered or manual IV pole, supporting up to 12,000mL of bagged fluid and allows mounting of a compatible smoke evacuation device.
