Intended Use

The COBE BRAT® 2 Standard Volume Processing Set is indicated for use for recovery and/or processing of autologous blood.

Device Story

Disposable processing set for COBE BRAT® 2 autologous blood salvage system; includes 250 ml centrifuge bowl, tubing harness, waste bag, and reinfusion bag. Modification involves design change to internal spacer of centrifuge bowl (added fin feature) to alter internal fluid pathway profile. Device processes autologous blood to improve wash efficiency and reduce heparin load. Used in clinical settings for intraoperative blood salvage; operated by trained medical personnel. No hardware or software changes required to the BRAT® 2 instrument. Benefits patient by providing higher quality salvaged blood with improved wash efficiency.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical testing was performed. Bench testing included in vitro bovine blood salvage and plasma sequestration protocols, and human blood testing in a laboratory setting at the Mayo Clinic. Results demonstrated improved wash efficiency and reduced heparin load compared to the predicate.

Technological Characteristics

Disposable plastic centrifuge bowl and tubing harness. Modification: added fin feature to internal spacer of centrifuge bowl to optimize fluid pathway. No energy source or software components. Sterilization method not specified.

Indications for Use

Indicated for recovery and/or processing of autologous blood in patients requiring autotransfusion.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An autotransfusion apparatus is a device used to collect and reinfuse the blood lost by a patient due to surgery or trauma.

# DEVICE DESCRIPTION:

A Standard Volume BRAT® 2 Processing Set consists of a plastic disposable 250 ml centrifuge bowl, a tubing harness to connect the centrifuge bowl with other disposables, a waste bag, and a reinfusion bag. The tubing harness consists of tubing, a pump/valve cartridge, and various connectors.

Modifications to the BRAT® 2 Standard Volume Processing Set covered in this 510(k) consists of a design change to the internal spacer of the Baylor centrifuge bowl. No other material or design feature changes to the Processing Set disposables are required. No hardware or software changes are required to the BRAT® 2 instrument to support this device modification.

#### INDICATIONS FOR USE:

The COBE BRAT® 2 Standard Volume Processing Set is indicated for use for recovery and/or processing of autologous blood.

## TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS:

The Modified BRAT® 2 Standard Volume Processing Set is a modification of its predicate device, (510(k) # K933625, K933625, K962689) the Current BRAT® 2 Standard Volume Processing Set. Through a change in part design, a fin feature located at the base of the internal spacer of the centrifuge bowl was added. This change is intended to modify the profile of the internal fluid pathway of the centrifuge bowl. Cellular Performance Characteristics, (i.e. Outlet Hct, Wash Efficiency), which are dependent on fluid pathway design are changed. The intent of this modification is to improve the Wash Efficiency of the device.

## NONCLINICAL TEST RESULTS:

The Modified BRAT® 2 Standard Volume Processing Set was tested to assure that it met its functional specifications. In vitro blood testing was done to assure the performance of the modified device was comparable to the predicate device. In vitro bovine blood testing consisted of Blood Salvage test protocols and Plasma Sequestration test protocols. Human blood testing was also performed on the modified device in a laboratory setting at the Mayo Clinic, using Blood Salvage protocols.

The results find improved wash efficiency for the modified device based on reduction in estimated Heparin Load to Patient found in bovine Blood Salvage tests. Mayo Clinic test data for Heparin Load values generated per 1 liter of inlet blood volume processed, meet or exceed values recommended by Yawn' for blood salvage applications.

#### CLINICAL TEST RESULTS:

No clinical testing was performed.

#### CONCLUSION:

The Modified BRAT® 2 Standard Volume Processing Set is substantially equivalent to its predicate device, the Current BRAT 2 Standard Volume Processing Set.
