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. ## Regulatory Identification An autotransfusion apparatus is a device used to collect and reinfuse the blood lost by a patient due to surgery or trauma. ## Predicate Devices - Electromedics AT-1000 ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Date Summary was Prepared: September 16, 1996 E. Device Name Trade or Proprietary Name: Dideco Compact-A and Compact-M Autotransfusion Systems Common Name: Autotransfusion Apparatus Classification Name: Autotransfusion Devices F. Summary of Substantial Equivalence The Dideco Compact-A and Compact-M Autotransfusion Systems are substantially equivalent in intended use, materials, design, and performance characteristics to the Electromedics AT-1000. SORIN BIOMEDICAL INC. CONFIDENTIAL 22 {1} Sorin Biomedical Inc. 510(k) Notification 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.
