Indications for Use

The 'Blood Tubing Accessory with CLAVE Connector' is intended for use in hemodialysis and other chronic applications where blood sampling is required. Luer-locking adaptors allow secure, in-line placement between the blood tubing set and the catheter or venipuncture device. Use of a CLAVE connector allows the clinician needle-free blood withdrawal.

Device Story

Blood tubing accessory; single-use; sterile; non-pyrogenic. Device functions as in-line adapter between blood tubing sets and catheters/venipuncture devices. Features CLAVE connector; enables needle-free blood withdrawal. Operated by clinicians in hemodialysis or chronic care settings. Design utilizes luer-locking adaptors; straight-line tubing minimizes turbulence. Benefits patient by providing needle-free access; reduces risk of needle-stick injuries; maintains sterile barrier during repeated blood sampling.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Hemolysis study conducted by independent laboratory showed no significant hemolysis. Microbial challenge study demonstrated maintenance of sterile barrier for 6 days (144 hours) with 24 activations per day, indicating no increased infection risk under simulated clinical conditions.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Y-connector (polyester), male luer (polypropylene), female luer (polyester), blood tubing extension (PVC), CLAVE connector (polycarbonate, polyester, silicone, fluorosilicone, polypropylene, polyethylene). Design: One-piece connector, luer-activated, straight-line flow path. Sterile, non-pyrogenic. Single-use.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients undergoing hemodialysis or other chronic applications requiring blood sampling. Intended for clinician use for needle-free blood withdrawal.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A hemodialysis system and accessories is a device that is used as an artificial kidney system for the treatment of patients with renal failure or toxemic conditions and that consists of an extracorporeal blood system, a conventional dialyzer, a dialysate delivery system, and accessories. Blood from a patient flows through the tubing of the extracorporeal blood system and accessories to the blood compartment of the dialyzer, then returns through further tubing of the extracorporeal blood system to the patient. The dialyzer has two compartments that are separated by a semipermeable membrane. While the blood is in the blood compartment, undesirable substances in the blood pass through the semipermeable membrane into the dialysate in the dialysate compartment. The dialysate delivery system controls and monitors the dialysate circulating through the dialysate compartment of the dialyzer.(1) The extracorporeal blood system and accessories consists of tubing, pumps, pressure monitors, air foam or bubble detectors, and alarms to keep blood moving safely from the blood access device and accessories for hemodialysis (§ 876.5540) to the blood compartment of the dialyzer and back to the patient. (2) The conventional dialyzer allows a transfer of water and solutes between the blood and the dialysate through the semipermeable membrane. The semipermeable membrane of the conventional dialyzer has a sufficiently low permeability to water that an ultrafiltration controller is not required to prevent excessive loss of water from the patient's blood. This conventional dialyzer does not include hemodialyzers with the disposable inserts (Kiil type) (§ 876.5830) or dialyzers of high permeability (§ 876.5860). (3) The dialysate delivery system consists of mechanisms that monitor and control the temperature, conductivity, flow rate, and pressure of the dialysate and circulates dialysate through the dialysate compartment of the dialyzer. The dialysate delivery system includes the dialysate concentrate for hemodialysis (liquid or powder) and alarms to indicate abnormal dialysate conditions. This dialysate delivery system does not include the sorbent regenerated dialysate delivery system for hemodialysis (§ 876.5600), the dialysate delivery system of the peritoneal dialysis system and accessories (§ 876.5630), or the controlled dialysate delivery system of the high permeability hemodialysis system § 876.5860). (4) Remote accessories to the hemodialysis system include the unpowered dialysis chair without a scale, the powered dialysis chair without a scale, the dialyzer holder set, dialysis tie gun and ties, and hemodialysis start/stop tray.

Conclusions of nonclinical tests:

- . Hemolysis study was conducted by independent laboratory and found that no significant hemolysis occurs with the use of the CLAVE Connector.
- . Microbial challenge study showed that the CLAVE Connector maintained a sterile barrier for six days or 144 hours while administering 24 repeat activations per day. These results indicate that the CLAVE Connector, when using a standard disinfection protocol, did not increase infection rates under worst case clinical simulation

simulation.
