• Decision Date: Sep 3, 1997
• Decision: SESE
• Submission Type: Traditional
• Regulation: 21 CFR 870.4400
• Device Class: Class 2
• Attributes: Therapeutic

Intended Use

The VRF40 is intended to allow for the collection and autotransfusion of shed mediastinal blood following cardiopulmonary bypass procedures or other procedures where shed blood is expected. The VRF40 Venous Reservoir with Integral Cardiotomy Filter is intended for use in CPB circuits and postoperative blood salvage procedures.

Device Story

Sterile, disposable, hardshell venous reservoir with integral cardiotomy filter; contains polyurethane defoamer sponge and outer gross filter screen. Used in clinical settings for collection and autotransfusion of shed mediastinal blood following cardiopulmonary bypass or other procedures where shed blood is expected. Device functions as a passive reservoir and filter system; collects blood, removes air via defoamer, and filters debris. Operated by perfusionists or clinical staff during or after surgery. Output is processed blood ready for autotransfusion; facilitates blood salvage, reducing need for donor blood products.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. In vitro physical and functional tests included vacuum integrity, hemolysis, residual volume, and filter pressurization. Biocompatibility testing performed per Tripartite Guidelines for short-term blood contacting materials.

Technological Characteristics

Hardshell venous reservoir; polyurethane defoamer sponge; outer gross filter screen. Sterile, nonpyrogenic, disposable. Passive filtration and defoaming mechanism. No electronic components or software.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) or procedures requiring postoperative blood salvage and autotransfusion of shed mediastinal blood.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A cardiopulmonary bypass blood reservoir is a device used in conjunction with short-term extracorporeal circulation devices to hold a reserve supply of blood in the bypass circulation.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls), except that a reservoir that contains a defoamer or filter is classified into the same class as the defoamer or filter. The device, when it is a cardiopulmonary bypass blood reservoir that does not contain defoamers or blood filters, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 870.9.

# 510(k) SUMMARY (cont.)

## E. Device Name

*Trade or Proprietary Name:*

*Common Name:*

Cardiotomy Reservoir, Venous Reservoir with Integral Cardiotomy Filter

*Classification Name:*

Cardiopulmonary Bypass Blood Reservoir
Cardiopulmonary Bypass Cardiotomy Suction Line Blood Filter

## F. Summary of Substantial Equivalence

The VRF40 Venous Reservoir with Integral Cardiotomy Filter is judged to be substantially equivalent in intended use, materials, design, and performance characteristics to the Sorin Hardshell Venous Reservoir (HSVRF). The HSVRF was cleared for chest drainage on September 30, 1987 (K872719). The VRF40 was designed for use in chest drainage and is marketed by DIDECO for that intended use outside the United States.

## G. Device Description

The VRF40 is a sterile, nonpyrogenic, disposable, hardshell venous reservoir with an integral cardiotomy filter. It contains a polyurethane defoamer sponge and outer gross filter screen.

## H. Intended Use

The VRF40 is intended to allow for the collection and autotransfusion of shed mediastinal blood following cardiopulmonary bypass procedures or other procedures where shed blood is expected.

## I. Summary of Comparison of Technological Characteristics

The technological characteristics of the VRF40 is similar to the Sorin Hardshell Venous Reservoir with respect to chest drainage autotransfusion. These devices have a similar number of cardiotomy inlet ports, have similar filter elements, and are similar in setup and use for chest drainage.

## J. Summary of Nonclinical Tests

Substantial equivalence was based on a comparison of test results from the following *in vitro* physical and functional tests:

**Physical Tests**
Vacuum Integrity

**Functional Tests**
Hemolysis
Residual Volume
Filter Pressurization

All testing was conducted on nonaged, sterile devices. Test results show similar performance characteristics between the VRF40 and the Sorin Hardshell Venous Reservoir with respect to the expanded use of chest drainage autotransfusion.

**Biocompatibility**

Biocompatibility testing was previously performed on a finished, sterilized device in accordance with the Tripartite Guidelines for Biocompatibility testing for short term blood contacting materials. All test results were comparable to the negative control groups. Therefore, the materials used in the VRF40 are considered acceptable for their intended use.

## K. Conclusions

Based upon the above information, Sorin Biomedical Inc. concludes that the VRF40 Venous Reservoir with Integral Cardiotomy Filter is substantially equivalent to the Sorin Hardshell Venous Reservoir for use in chest drainage autotransfusion or any procedure where shed blood is expected.

Dear Mr. Butorac:

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.
