Device Story
System comprises centrifuge (SMART M-CELL 2 or 4) and disposable procedure pack. Input: venous whole blood collected from patient. Process: two-phase centrifugation cycle (primary and secondary) separates blood into erythrocytes, platelet-poor plasma, and leukocyte- and platelet-rich plasma (L-PRP) based on density. Operation: fixed speed/time parameters; no operator adjustment. Output: platelet concentrate extracted via blunt cannula and syringe. Used in clinical labs or intraoperatively by clinicians. Benefits: rapid, safe preparation of platelet concentrate for clinical use.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Comparative study (n=not specified) using healthy donor venous blood compared subject device to predicate (K052925). Results showed equivalent platelet recovery rates and cell count profiles. Rotor-speed performance testing confirmed operational consistency across all procedure pack volumes. Disinfection and robustness studies (6,000 cycles) confirmed structural integrity and functional performance over a 5-year service life.
Technological Characteristics
System includes centrifuge and disposable procedure packs. Centrifugation: two-phase cycle (2300 RPM primary; 2200 RPM secondary). Materials: disposable kits sterilized via Ethylene Oxide (ISO 11135). Electrical safety: IEC 61010-1. Factory calibrated. Standalone operation.

IV Device/System Characteristics:
A Device Description:
The SMART M-CELL PRP Concentration System consists of a centrifuge component (i.e., SMART M-CELL 2 or SMART M-CELL 4) and a Procedure Pack.
The SMART M-CELL 2/SMART M-CELL 4 centrifuges provide a two-phase centrifugation cycle consisting of a primary centrifugation and secondary centrifugation. The centrifuge speed (2300 RPM for primary separation; 2200 RPM for secondary separation) and time (6 minutes for primary separation; 11 minutes (SMART M-CELL 2) or 14 minutes (SMART M-CELL 4) for secondary separation) are fixed without any operator adjustment.
PRINCIPLE:
A small amount of whole blood collected from the patient is to be loaded into the blood compartment of the Blood Separating Kit. The centrifugation cycle will separate the whole blood into erythrocytes, platelet poor plasma, and leukocyte and platelet rich plasma (L-PRP). The process involves a two-phase centrifugation cycle consisting of primary centrifugation and secondary centrifugation. Once the two-phase separation process is complete, allowing for collection of the various blood component layers by separating based on density of liquids.
The Procedure Pack has two models: BSC+③ and BSC+⑨, each with three volumes (30, 60, and 120 mL). The process kit includes the following components:

4. Accuracy (Instrument):
Comparative studies were performed using BSC+③ 60 and BSC+⑤ 60 kits with the SMART M-CELL 2 device at a single site. Venous whole blood samples were collected from healthy donors, and baseline cell counts were assessed prior to centrifugation. Each sample was then divided, with half processed using the subject device and the other half processed using the predicate SmartPReP2 Centrifuge System (K052925). Cell counts from the processed samples were compared to the initial baseline blood samples and evaluated side-by-side between the subject and predicate devices. The results demonstrate that the SMART M-CELL PRP Concentration System is equivalent to the predicate device in preparing platelet concentrate, with comparable cell count profiles and platelet recovery rates.
A separate rotor-speed performance test was conducted to verify the operational parameters of the SMART M-CELL 2 and SMART M-CELL 4 centrifuge systems. Testing was performed using multiple procedure packs including BSC+③ 30, BSC+③ 60, BSC+③ 120, under specified centrifugation conditions for SMART M-CELL 2 and SMART M-CELL 4. Both models met all acceptance criteria, with appropriate centrifugation results and no instances of product deviation or plasma separation observed. The results demonstrate that both device models perform consistently according to their design parameters with respect to centrifugation performance and operational functionality.

B Other Supportive Instrument Performance Characteristics Data:
Disinfection Study
A study was conducted to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of 83% ethyl alcohol against non-enveloped viruses. The study used standardized test methods to determine the log reduction in viral titer following exposure to the 83% ethyl alcohol for 5 min at room temperature. The results demonstrated that the subject device achieved significant viral inactivation, with log reduction values meeting established performance criteria for virucidal efficacy.
Robustness Study
The study evaluated the device’s ability to withstand repeated exposure to cleaning and disinfection over its expected 5-year service life. The study employed a worst-case scenario of 6,000 cleaning and disinfection cycles on the SMART M-CELL 4 model. Testing was performed according to the cleaning and disinfection procedures specified in the user manual (83% ethyl alcohol), with comprehensive functional, display, and visual inspections conducted at 1,000-cycle intervals. All acceptance criteria were met throughout the validation, with no evidence of functional degradation, display malfunction, material damage, or corrosion observed at any inspection point. The results demonstrate that the device maintains its structural integrity and functional performance after repeated exposure to the instructed cleaning and disinfection process.
