Intended Use

The family of CRIT-LINE Monitors (CLM's), include the CLM II (predicate device) and the CLM III. These devices are used to noninvasively to measure hematocrit, oxygen saturation and percent charge in blood volume. Both the CLM II and the CLM III measure hematocrit, percent change in blood volume and oxygen saturation in real time for application in the treatment of dialysis patients with the intended purpose of providing a more effective treatment for both the dialysis patient and the dialysis technician. In addition, the CLM II and CLM III estimate the amount of blood that is recirculated back into the dialysis circuit instead of the patients circulating volume. Based on the data that the monitors provide, the dialysis technician intervenes (i.e. increases or decreases the rate at which fluid is removed from the blood) in order to remove the maximum amount of fluid from the dialysis patient without the patient experiencing the common symptoms of dialysis which include nausea, cramping and vomiting.

Device Story

The CRIT-LINE Monitor III (CLMIII) is a non-invasive monitor used in clinical dialysis settings. It connects to a proprietary Blood Chamber integrated into the dialysis tubing circuit. The device uses light absorption principles to measure hematocrit, oxygen saturation, and blood volume in real-time as blood passes through the chamber. A microprocessor processes these inputs via calibrated Analog-to-Digital Converters. The output is displayed to the dialysis technician, who uses the data to adjust fluid removal rates during treatment. This intervention aims to maximize fluid removal while minimizing adverse symptoms such as nausea, cramping, and vomiting, thereby improving treatment efficacy for the patient.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical testing was performed. Bench testing was conducted on blood bank blood under simulated clinical conditions to compare the subject device to the predicate. The device was also tested for compliance with IEC 601-1: 1988 and FDA guidance for Electrostatic Discharge and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI).

Technological Characteristics

Microprocessor-based monitor using light absorption to measure blood parameters. Features a Motorola 61332A microprocessor (Motorola 68000 family) with integrated logic, timing, and watchdog circuits. Uses calibrated Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADC) with separate circuits for signal processing. Designed for use with an external Blood Chamber in a dialysis tubing circuit. Complies with IEC 601-1: 1988 and EMI/ESD standards.

Indications for Use

Indicated for dialysis patients to non-invasively monitor hematocrit, oxygen saturation, percent change in blood volume, and blood recirculation in real-time to assist technicians in managing fluid removal rates and preventing dialysis-related symptoms like nausea, cramping, and vomiting.

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.

The CRIT-LINE III (CLMII) is substantially equivalent to the CRIT-LINE II (CLMI) currently marketed by In-Line Diagnostics in significant features, materials, dimensions and intended use ..

{1}------------------------------------------------

#### Description of the Subject Devices: ડ.

The CLMIII consists of a state-of-the-art microprocessor which has all of the chip select logic, serial communication, timing and watchdog circuits incorporated within it. The CLMIII is used in conjunction with the In-Line Diagnostics, Inc. Blood Chamber. The Blood Chamber is connected to and becomes part of the dialysis tubing circuit. The sensor from the CLM is connected to the Blood Chamber which reads critical blood parameters as the blood passes through the Blood Chamber

#### Intended Use of the Subject Devices: ર.

The CLMIII and the predicate CLMII are used as non-invasive hematocrit, oxygen saturation and blood volume monitors. Both measure hematocrit, percent change in blood volume and oxygen saturation in real time for application in the treatment of dialysis patients with the intended purpose of providing a more effective treatment for the dialysis patient. Based on the data that the monitors provide, the dialysis technician increases or decreases the rate at which fluid is removed from the blood in order to remove the maximum amount of fluid from the dialysis patient without the patient experiencing the common symptoms of dialysis which include nausea, cramping and vomiting.

#### Technological Characteristics of the Subject Devices. 7.

Both the predicate CLMII and the CLMIII are identical in function and operate under the principles of light absorption through the blood under test to measure oxygen saturation (O2 SAT) and hematocrit (HCT) and to calculate the related value of Blood Volume (BV).

The CLMIII uses a Motorola 61332A microprocessor which is also a member of the Motorola 68000 family of microprocessors used in the CLMII, but is more up-to-date and has incorporated within it all of the chip select logic, serial communications, timing and watchdog circuits. The code was consolidated into a more modular version to parallel the hardware layout. The measurements in both the CLMI and the CLMIII are accomplished by calibrated Analog to Digital Converters (ADC). The CLMII uses a multiplexer to switch between two circuits, whereas the CLMIII contains completely separate circuits.
