Intended to relieve or mitigate overhydration in patients undergoing cardiopulmonary procedures and to increase the concentration of cells and proteins in the blood.
Device Story
Fresenius F Series Low Volume Hemoconcentrator; hollow fiber-type filter; used during cardiopulmonary procedures to remove excess fluid and concentrate blood components. Device inputs: patient blood via extracorporeal circuit. Principle of operation: ultrafiltration across semi-permeable polysulfone membrane; driven by transmembrane pressure. Output: concentrated blood returned to patient; ultrafiltrate removed. Operated by clinical staff in surgical/clinical settings. Benefits: mitigation of overhydration; increased hematocrit/protein concentration. Design modification from predicate F400 includes reduced membrane surface area (0.35m² vs 0.7m²) and lower priming volume (27ml vs 42ml) to accommodate lower volume requirements.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Comparison of performance specifications including pressure drop and ultrafiltration rates at varying blood flow rates (100-300 ml/min) and transmembrane pressures. Non-pyrogenic status verified via LAL assay.
Indicated for patients undergoing cardiopulmonary procedures experiencing overhydration or requiring increased concentration of blood cells and proteins.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A high permeability hemodialysis system is a device intended for use as an artificial kidney system for the treatment of patients with renal failure, fluid overload, or toxemic conditions by performing such therapies as hemodialysis, hemofiltration, hemoconcentration, and hemodiafiltration. Using a hemodialyzer with a semipermeable membrane that is more permeable to water than the semipermeable membrane of the conventional hemodialysis system (§ 876.5820), the high permeability hemodialysis system removes toxins or excess fluid from the patient's blood using the principles of convection (via a high ultrafiltration rate) and/or diffusion (via a concentration gradient in dialysate). During treatment, blood is circulated from the patient through the hemodialyzer's blood compartment, while the dialysate solution flows countercurrent through the dialysate compartment. In this process, toxins and/or fluid are transferred across the membrane from the blood to the dialysate compartment. The hemodialysis delivery machine controls and monitors the parameters related to this processing, including the rate at which blood and dialysate are pumped through the system, and the rate at which fluid is removed from the patient. The high permeability hemodialysis system consists of the following devices:(1) The hemodialyzer consists of a semipermeable membrane with an in vitro ultrafiltration coefficient (K uf ) greater than 8 milliliters per hour per conventional millimeter of mercury, as measured with bovine or expired human blood, and is used with either an automated ultrafiltration controller or anther method of ultrafiltration control to prevent fluid imbalance.(2) The hemodialysis delivery machine is similar to the extracorporeal blood system and dialysate delivery system of the hemodialysis system and accessories (§ 876.5820), with the addition of an ultrafiltration controller and mechanisms that monitor and/or control such parameters as fluid balance, dialysate composition, and patient treatment parameters (e.g., blood pressure, hematocrit, urea, etc.). (3) The high permeability hemodialysis system accessories include, but are not limited to, tubing lines and various treatment related monitors (e.g., dialysate pH, blood pressure, hematocrit, and blood recirculation monitors).
