Indications for Use
Custodiol HTK Solution is indicated for perfusion and flushing donor kidneys, liver, pancreas, and heart prior to removal from the donor or immediately after removal from the donor. The solution is left in the organ during hypothermic storage and transportation (not for continuous perfusion) to the recipient.
Device Story
Custodiol HTK Solution is a chemical organ preservation solution used for flushing and perfusion of donor organs (kidney, liver, heart, pancreas). It functions by inactivating organ function through the withdrawal of extracellular sodium and calcium and intensive buffering using histidine/histidine HCl. This process prolongs organ tolerance to ischemia during hypothermic storage and transport. The solution is low-viscosity at low temperatures, facilitating rapid cooling. It is used by transplant clinicians in a clinical or surgical setting. The solution remains in the organ during transport; it is not intended for continuous perfusion. By maintaining physiological conditions and reducing metabolism, the solution preserves organ viability for transplantation, potentially improving patient outcomes.
Clinical Evidence
Evidence includes clinical studies comparing Custodiol HTK Solution to UW Solution and other preservation solutions. Studies evaluated survival rates and organ outcome measures. Data demonstrates performance equivalence to predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Electrolyte-based solution containing histidine/histidine HCl buffering agents. Low viscosity at hypothermic temperatures. Composition mimics extracellular fluid with low potassium concentration. Sterile solution for organ perfusion and storage.
Indications for Use
Indicated for perfusion and flushing of donor kidneys, liver, pancreas, and heart prior to or immediately after removal from the donor, and for hypothermic storage and transport to the recipient.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An isolated kidney perfusion and transport system and accessories is a device that is used to support a donated or a cadaver kidney and to maintain the organ in a near-normal physiologic state until it is transplanted into a recipient patient. This generic type of device may include tubing, catheters, connectors, an ice storage or freezing container with or without bag or preservatives, pulsatile or nonpulsatile hypothermic isolated organ perfusion apparatus with or without oxygenator, and disposable perfusion set.

### LEGALLY MARKETED PREDICATE DEVICES A.
For its indication for use, the Custodiol HTK Solution is substantially equivalent to the Belzer UW Cold Storage Solution, which was cleared by FDA as K944866 on 04 April 1996 for the multiple indication of kidney, liver, and pancreas preservation. For its specific formulation and other physical and chemical characteristics, it is substantially equivalent to the currently marketed Custodiol product as cleared under K992209 and K020924.
### DEVICE DESCRIPTION B.
The HTK solution is intended for perfusion and flushing donor kidney, liver, heart, and pancreas prior to removal from the donor and for preserving these organs during hypothermic storage and transport to the recipient. HTK solution is based on the principle of inactivating organ function by withdrawal of extracellular sodium and calcium, together with intensive buffering of the extracellular space by means of histidine/histidine HCI, so as to prolong the period for which the organs will tolerate interruption of blood and oxygen supply. Only a small portion of the osmolality of the HTK solution is due to the sodium and potassium. The composition of HTK is similar to that of extracellular fluid. All of the components of the HTK solution occur naturally in the body.
The HTK solution is relatively low in potassium concentration so that residual solution in the transplanted organ poses no danger to the recipient. This is particularly important in organs that take up relatively large amounts of the perfusate, which may find its way into the recipient's circulation.

The HTK solution has a low viscosity, even at low temperatures. This The TTTK solution nao a low virotes during initial perfusion, allowing the organ to be quickly cooled.
#### INDICATIONS FOR USE C.
Custodiol HTK Solution is indicated for perfusion and flushing donor Gustoulor TTTX Oblation is increast and heart prior to removal from the donor or immediately after removal from the donor. The solution is left in the organ immodiatory during hypothermic storage and transportation (not for continuous perfusion) to the recipient.
### SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE SUMMARY D.
The Custodiol HTK Solution is a medical device, and it has a similar indications for use as the legally marketed predicate devices. While the indications for use statement is not identical to those of the predicate devices, the intended use is clearly the same.
The Custodiol HTK Solution has the same technological characteristics as the predicate devices. However, the characteristics may not be as the production assure equivalence through a point by point comparison. Therefore, extensive clinical and animal data has been collected by the sponsor and others. The performance data clearly demonstrates equivalence.
### TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS ய்
Both the Custodiol HTK Solution and the predicate device are solutions containing electrolytes, buffering agents, and other materials occurring naturally in the body. Both solutions are intended to reduce metabolism and preserve physiological conditions of explanted organs and tissue during cold storage.
#### F. TESTING
Several clinical studies have been reported that compared the performance of Custodiol HTK Solution with the UW Solution, and others. These studies have compared survival rates and other outcome measures. The primary evidence for the equivalence in effectiveness of Custodiol to that of UW has come from a small number of independent clinical studies.
#### CONCLUSIONS G.
