Intended Use
The Dideco Compact-A and Compact-M Autotransfusion Systems are intended to process, shed or collect blood for autologous transfusion. The Compact-A and Compact-M Autotransfusion Systems are to be used with disposables for the collection of shed blood and aspirated body fluids, and the separation of erythrocytes from other components of the aspirated blood prior to, during and/or after a surgical procedure. The Systems are also recommended to collect platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and/or platelet-poor plasma (PPP) from the patient’s whole blood immediately preoperative or intraoperative to a surgical procedure.
Device Story
The Dideco Compact-A and Compact-M are high-speed, lightweight automatic autotransfusion systems. The system includes a rolling cart, IV pole, and portable vacuum pump module. It functions by collecting shed blood and aspirated body fluids during or after surgery, or whole blood preoperatively/intraoperatively. The device processes these inputs to separate erythrocytes from other blood components or to isolate PRP/PPP. Used in clinical surgical settings, the system is operated by trained medical personnel. The output is processed autologous blood products returned to the patient, which reduces the need for donor blood transfusions and benefits the patient by minimizing transfusion-related risks.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical trials were performed. Substantial equivalence was established via bench and in vivo functional testing, including plasma free hemoglobin, ADP/collagen, pH testing, and cell/platelet counting to verify performance against the predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
High-speed automatic autotransfusion system; includes portable vacuum pump module, rolling cart, and IV pole. Operates via mechanical separation of blood components. Materials and flow rates are identical to the predicate Electromedics AT-1000. System is designed for use with disposables.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing surgical procedures requiring autologous blood transfusion, including collection of shed blood, aspirated body fluids, and separation of erythrocytes. Also indicated for preoperative or intraoperative collection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-poor plasma (PPP) from whole blood.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An autotransfusion apparatus is a device used to collect and reinfuse the blood lost by a patient due to surgery or trauma.

Dideco Compact-A and Compact-M Autotransfusion Systems
## G. Device Description
The Dideco Compact-A and Compact-M Autotransfusion Systems are composed of the following equipment: a high-speed lightweight automatic autotransfusion system including a rolling cart for the system with an IV pole and a portable vacuum pump module.
## H. Device Intended Use
The Dideco Compact-A and Compact-M Autotransfusion Systems are intended to process, shed or collect blood for autologous transfusion. The Compact-A and Compact-M Autotransfusion Systems are to be used with disposables for the collection of shed blood and aspirated body fluids, and the separation of erythrocytes from other components of the aspirated blood prior to, during and/or after a surgical procedure. The Systems are also recommended to collect platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and/or platelet-poor plasma (PPP) from the patient’s whole blood immediately preoperative or intraoperative to a surgical procedure.
## I. Summary of Comparison of Technological Characteristics
The technological characteristics of the Dideco Compact-A and Compact-M Autotransfusion Systems are similar to the Electromedics AT-1000 System. All three (3) systems are identical in respect to their process steps, method of operation, materials, and suggested flow rates. All three (3) are indicated for separation of Platelet-Poor Plasma (PPP) and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) from whole blood collected from the patient.
## J. Summary of In-Vivo Tests
Substantial equivalence was based on a comparison of test results from the following in vivo functional tests:
- plasma free Hgb, ADP/Collagen and pH testing
- cell and platelet counting.
## K. Conclusions
Based upon the above information, Sorin Biomedical Inc. concludes that both the Dideco Compact-A and Compact-M Autotransfusion Systems and predicate Electromedics AT-1000 Autotransfusion System have comparable and acceptable performance for the indication of the collection of shed blood and aspirated body fluids, and the separation of erythrocytes from other components of the aspirated blood prior to, during and/or after a surgical procedure. The systems are also indicated for use to collect platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and/or platelet-poor plasma (PPP) from the patient’s whole blood immediately preoperative or intraoperative to a surgical procedure.

Dear Ms. Thompson:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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). 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
