It facilitates the interconnection of tubing, catheters, or other medical devices. The device consists of a stand-alone rotator assembly (housing connector, retaining collar, hub) bonded to a polycarbonate male or female luer lock using UV-cured adhesive. It features an EPDM O-ring. The device is operated by clinicians to allow rotation of connected components, preventing tubing kinking or twisting during procedures. It is a passive mechanical component; it does not process data or provide clinical outputs. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Testing included mechanical performance (rotational torque, hydrostatic pressure, vacuum leak) and ISO 8536-4/10 standards for infusion equipment. Biocompatibility testing was performed per ISO 10993 (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, systemic toxicity, hemocompatibility) and USP <151> pyrogen testing. Results met all predetermined acceptance criteria. ## Technological Characteristics Materials: Polycarbonate housing/connector/hub, EPDM O-ring, UV-cured adhesive. Form factor: Male-Male or Male-Female luer lock adapter with rotating assembly. Standards: ISO 8536-4:2010, ISO 8536-10:2004, ISO 10993-1:2009, ISO 10993-4:2002, ISO 10993-5:2009, ISO 10993-10:2010, ISO 10993-11:2006, ASTM F756-08:2008, USP 36 <151>. Sterilization: ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11135-1:2007. ## Regulatory Identification A cardiopulmonary bypass adaptor, stopcock, manifold, or fitting is a device used in cardiovascular diagnostic, surgical, and therapeutic applications to interconnect tubing, catheters, or other devices. ## Special Controls *Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 870.9. ## Predicate Devices - Rotator; male-male, male-female ([K932251](/device/K932251.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
