## Indications for Use

The Stryker ConstaVac Blood Conservation System II (CBCII) is an autologous blood recovery system intended for the post-operative collection and filtration of blood from a surgical wound in order to transfuse the whole blood back to the patient. The Stryker ConstaVac Blood Conservation System II (CBCII) Disposal Blood Bag is used with the previously cleared CBC II System to provide a disposal method for wound drainage collected in the CBCII reservoir.

## Device Story

Stryker ConstaVac Blood Conservation System II (CBCII) is a sterile, single-patient-use, disposable autotransfusion apparatus. System components include a wound drain, evacuator tube, 800cc blood collection reservoir, vacuum source for wound drainage, and a reinfusion bag. The device collects blood from surgical wounds, filters it, and allows for reinfusion to the patient. A separate blood disposal bag is provided for waste management once reinfusion is discontinued. Used in clinical settings by healthcare professionals for postoperative blood conservation. Benefits include reduced need for allogeneic blood transfusion.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. The device was tested against the American National Standard for Auto Transfusion Devices, ANSI/AAMI AT6-1981, and met biocompatibility guidelines set forth in the Tripartite Guidance.

## Technological Characteristics

Single-patient-use, sterile, disposable autotransfusion apparatus. Components: wound drain, evacuator tube, 800cc reservoir, reinfusion bag, disposal bag. Vacuum-based drainage mechanism. Biocompatibility per Tripartite Guidance. Tested to ANSI/AAMI AT6-1981 standards.

## 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

- Baxter V. Mueller (autotransfusion apparatus)
- Zimmer (blood disposal bag)

## Summary of Safety and Effectiveness:

The Stryker ConstaVac Blood Conservation System II (CBCII) is an autologous blood recovery system intended for the post-operative collection and filtration of blood from a surgical wound in order to transfuse the whole blood back to the patient.

The Stryker CBCII System is a single patient use, sterile, disposable, autotransfusion apparatus. The system consists of a wound drain and evacuator tube, an 800cc blood collection reservoir, a means for providing a vacuum in which to drain the blood from the wound site, a means for transferring the blood to a reinfusion bag and a reinfusion bag. The blood disposal bag provides a means for the user to dispose of wound drainage collection once reinfusion has been discontinued.

{1}

This reinfusion device has been tested and does meet the applicable sections of the American National Standard for Auto Transfusion Devices, ANSI/AAMI AT6-1981 as well as the biocompatibility guidelines set forth in the Tripartite Guidance.

The CBCII System is equivalent to existing marketed products by companies such as Baxter V. Mueller. Power modality, intended use, and safety risks are all substantially equivalent. The CBCII Blood Disposal Bag is equivalent to existing marketed products by companies such as Zimmer. Intended use and safety risks are substantially equivalent.

The Stryker CBC II System, including the blood disposal bag, does not raise any new safety and efficacy concerns when compared to similar legally marketed devices. Therefore, the Stryker CBC II System is substantially equivalent to these existing devices.

Dear Mr. Parker:

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. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
