# K252653
The system contains two motor-driven pumps that deliver contrast media and saline to a patient via a catheter at a user-determined fixed (contrast or saline) or variable rate (contrast). The ACIST Pro offers injection modes for Cardiac, Peripheral and Structural procedures. The system can achieve a flow rate from 0.1 to 25.0 mL/s with volume ranging from 0.1 to 95.0 mL. To organize and label injection settings, the ACIST Pro offers injection groups for Cardiac, Peripheral and Structural procedures. In addition to facilitating synced injections with x-ray imaging systems, the ACIST Pro has an optional system setting where the subject device connects to the ECG out connection on hemodynamic systems to receive the defibrillation QRS marker signal. The ACIST Pro uses the ECG QRS marker signal to synchronize contrast media injection for the duration of diastole.
The ACIST Pro is mains-powered only. Based on the materials of construction, the system is MR unsafe.
Available accessories include a floor cart, AngioTouch® Module, bed mounts, and cables (including single, double and triple transducer cables, X-ray system connection cables and Hemodynamic system connection cables).
The ACIST Pro Diagnostic System must only be used with the system-specific VeraPro disposables (K252638). One of each of the following compatible devices must be used:
- VeraPro S100 Multi-Use Syringe or VeraPro S100 LV1 Syringe,
- VeraPro AMT Auto- Manifold and Transducer, and
- VeraPro FLX165 Hand Controller or VeraPro HiFi165 Hand Controller.
Refer to the 510(k) Summary of the VeraPro disposables for additional information (K252638).
The VeraPro disposable kits (K252638) provide the interface between the system and an angiographic patient catheter (not supplied by ACIST Medical Systems, Inc.). Patient connections must be made using commercially available catheters approved or cleared for use in angiographic studies.
The following supplies are required to use the ACIST Pro Diagnostic System with VeraPro disposables (K252638). They are not supplied by ACIST and are each packaged and sold separately.
- Diagnostic / guide catheter
- Sterile, commercially available 0.9% saline

## DESIGN
The ACIST Pro has the same fundamental technology and principle of operation as the predicate device. Both the subject and predicate devices contain two motor-driven pumps that deliver contrast media and saline to a patient via a catheter at a user-determined fixed (contrast or saline) or variable rate (contrast). Both devices have similar system components, accessories, and mounting options.
## MATERIALS
Both the subject and predicate devices are non-patient contacting.
## ENERGY SOURCES
Both the subject and predicate devices are mains powered. Energy delivery to the patient or healthcare provider is not a functional aspect of either device.
## OTHER KEY TECHNOLOGICAL FEATURES
The subject and predicate devices both offer "cardiac and peripheral injection groups." When the predicate device is powered up by the user, the default injection parameters are displayed as listed in the comparison table (ex. Pigtail catheter with flow of 0.0 mL/s and volume of 0.0mL). The subject device adds a "TAVR" (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement) to the injection groups. It is possible to use settings on the predicate device to manually create injection parameters identical to all subject device injection groups, including the Peripheral and TAVR injection groups. Therefore, the modifications to the subject device injector presets do not adversely impact the safety and effectiveness of the subject device compared to the predicate device.
The subject and predicate devices both offer default "contrast injection parameter ranges." ACIST has refined the default injection parameters on the subject device - the maximum flow, volume, pressure, and rise time are all within the predicate device's parameters. The lowered minimum flow rate and volume range do not adversely impact the safety and effectiveness of the subject device compared to the predicate device as the user continues to determine the necessary flow rate and total contrast delivered to patient.
The subject and predicate devices both offer safety features such as tracking total contrast delivered to patient, software-controlled required syringe changes and air column detection. The subject device allows users to optionally set a "contrast target limit" which displays as a contrast delivered tracking bar and a percentage of contrast delivered to the patient compared to the target limit. This enables the user to continuously verify the contrast delivered to the patient throughout the case. Also, the subject device adds an RFID reader/writer to identify VeraPro patient tubing. This feature aims to prevent disposable reuse and to effectively evacuate air from the entire tubing length while minimizing contrast waste. These additional safety features do not adversely impact the safety and effectiveness of the subject device compared to the predicate device.
The predicate device offered a "Keep Vessel Open" which allowed the user to dispense saline at a programmable rate; however, this feature was rarely employed by users and carried the potential for unintended delivery of contrast in the patient tubing to the patient. Therefore, the KVO feature has not been implemented in the subject device. Absence of this feature is not expected to adversely impact the safety and effectiveness of the subject device compared to the predicate device.
Both devices can also facilitate synced injections with the x-ray imaging systems.
{14}
K252653
The subject and predicate devices both collect the invasive blood pressure signal via the injector transducer backplate and display the signal on the facility's hemodynamic system. The subject device allows for zeroing and calibrating of the hemodynamic signal at bedside rather than only from the control room. There is no change in the user's ability to view, zero or calibrate the signal on the hospital hemodynamic system.
The subject device has additional hemodynamic system compatibility whereby the system uses the ECG QRS marker signal to synchronize contrast media injection with the onset of diastole ("ECG Sync"). The optional ECG Sync system setting on the subject device allows users to sync contrast media injection with the duration of diastole. User-initiated injections can still be selected on the subject device and perform in a manner equivalent to the predicate device. This additional feature does not adversely impact the safety and effectiveness of the subject device compared to the predicate device.
The subject and predicate devices both include software and firmware. The operating system on the subject device has been updated to Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC to facilitate software and cybersecurity updates.
