## Indications for Use

Intended specifically for use in patients with acute or chronic renal failure when conservative therapy is judged to be inadequate. It may also be indicated in the treatment of patients intoxicated with poisons or drugs.

## Device Story

CAHP™ High Performance Cellulose Diacetate Hollow Fiber Dialyzer (Model CAHP-90) is a hemodialyzer used for extracorporeal blood treatment. It facilitates solute removal and fluid management in patients with renal failure or intoxication. The device utilizes cellulose diacetate hollow fiber membranes to perform dialysis. It is intended for clinical use by healthcare professionals. The device supports both single-use and reuse protocols, provided specific disinfection procedures are followed. Clinical benefit is derived from the removal of metabolic waste products and toxins from the patient's blood.

## Clinical Evidence

Clinical data collected per FDA Guidance for Hemodialyzer Reuse Labeling. Includes in vivo and in vitro performance data. Bench testing confirms compliance with USP XXI Class VI biological requirements, pyrogen testing per Japanese Pharmacopeia, and particle limits per USP 23 <788> and ASTM F25-68.

## Technological Characteristics

Cellulose diacetate hollow fiber membrane. Sterilized via Ethylene Oxide (EtO) per AAMI ST-27 to SAL 10^-6. Materials meet USP XXI Class VI standards. Device is a hemodialyzer for extracorporeal blood processing.

## Regulatory 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.

|  Common name: | Hemodialyzer  |
|  Classification name: | Hemodialysis System and Accessories per 21 CFR 876.5820  |
|  Equivalent predicate: | CAHP™ High Performance Cellulose Diacetate Hollow Fiber Dialyzers  |
|  Device Description: | Model CAHP-90 Hemodialyzer  |
|  Intended Use: | Intended specifically for use in patients with acute or chronic renal failure when conservative therapy is judged to be inadequate. It may also be indicated in the treatment of patients intoxicated with poisons or drugs.  |
|  Summary of the technological predicate device: | The general function and materials of the subject CAHP™ Hemodialyzers are identical to the Baxter predicate Dialyzers.  |
|  Clinical data: | Clinical data was collected according to the FDA Guidance for Hemodialyzer Reuse Labeling.  |
|  Conclusions drawn | All patient contact components of the subject CAHP™ Hemodialyer have previously met the biological requirements of the guidelines for safety screening of materials for USP XXI Class VI materials. These Dialyzers are sterilized by the Nissho corporation using Ethylene Oxide Gas (EtO) to a sterility assurance level (SAL) of 1 x 10^{-6}. The validation of the sterilization cycle for the CAHP™ Hemodialyzer is based upon the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) Guideline (ST-27-Industrial Ethylene Oxide (EO) Sterilization of Medical Devices). Prior to release, sterilant residues of EtO, ECH and EG are consistent with the proposed limits for the “blood ex vivo” device category as published in the June 23, 1978 Federal Register.  |

Dear Ms. Pahlman:

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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsmamain.html".
