Indications for Use
The Haidylena Cuprophan and Hemophan Hollow Fiber Dialyzer are indicated for use whenever a patient is in acute or chronic renal failure and a physician prescribes hemodialysis. Therefore, use of this device should be only on the direction of a physician who has evaluated all of the aspects of the patient's illness.
Device Story
Haidylena Cuprophan and Hemophan Hollow Fiber Dialyzer is a hemodialyzer for acute or chronic renal failure. Device uses hollow fiber membrane technology (Cuprophan or Hemophan) to facilitate solute removal from blood. Blood is pumped from patient artery into dialyzer; waste products pass through membrane into circulating dialysate; purified blood returns to patient via venous line. Used in clinical settings under physician direction. Device provides safe, effective hemodialysis across various patient treatment requirements. Benefits include removal of waste products (urea, creatinine, phosphate, Vitamin B12) and fluid management via ultrafiltration.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. In vitro performance evaluated for Urea, Creatinine, Phosphate, and Vitamin B12 clearance, and ultrafiltration coefficient. Results compared against Terumo Clirans T175, Baxter CF25, and Cobe Centry System 160E. Data confirms performance metrics are substantially equivalent to predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Hollow fiber hemodialyzer. Materials: Polycarbonate housing/caps, Akzo (Enka) Cuprophan/Hemophan membrane, polyurethane potting, polyethylene vented caps. Fiber dimensions: 200 micron inner diameter, 8 micron wall thickness. Sterilization: Ethylene oxide gas per BS EN 550 and AAMI guidelines. Connectivity: None (standalone).
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with acute or chronic renal failure requiring hemodialysis as prescribed by a physician.
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.

## Submitter
Haidylena Medical 26, Makrame Ebeid St., Nasr City, Cairo. EGYPT Telephone: 002-02-2750513 002-02-2706151 002-02-2706150 Facsimile: 002-02-2750552
#### Date summary was prepared
June 15, 1998
#### Name of the device
Haidylena Cuprophan and Hemophan Hollow Fiber Dialyzer
#### ldentification of predicate device
The Haidylena Cuprophan and Hemophan Hollow Fiber Dialyzer are substantially equivalence in construction, design, intended use, and function to other hemodialyzers currently marketed in the United States. The Haidylena Cuprophan and Hemophan Hollow Fiber Dialyzer are substantially equivalence in function, design and operation to the Cobe Centry Syatem 160E, Baxter CF25, and Terumo Clirans T175 Dialyzers, which have been previously approved for marketing in the United States.
## Description of the device
The Haidylena Cuprophan and Hemophan Hollow Fiber Dialyzer are a family of hemodialyzers developed to provide safe and effective hemodialysis over ranges of dialyzer patient treatment requirements. The membrane used in the device is Cuprophan which is substantially equivalence to the Cuprophan membranes utilized in the cobe centry System 160E and Baxter CF25 Dialyzers, which have been previously approved for marketing in the United States. The Cobe Cnetry System 160E was approved under a 510(k) Notification (K864831). The Cuprpohan membranes utilzed in both Haidylena Cuprophan and Hemophan Hollow Fiber Dialyzer and Cobe Centry System 160E Dialyzers are manufactured by Akzo (Enka) of Germany. Cuprophan membrane is also utilized in Baxter CF25 Dialyzers. Hemophan membrane is also manufactured by Akzo (Enka) and is also cellulose membrane but derivative from Cuprophan membrane.
Blood enters a blood inlet port where it is distributed to Cuprophan and Hemophan membrane. Each hollow fiber has an inner diameter of 200 microns and a wall thickness of 8 microns. The fibers used in
{1}------------------------------------------------
this device are substantially equivalence in design to the previously approved Cobe Centry System. The wall thickness of the Cuprophan and Hemophan fibers in Cobe Centry System 160E Dialyzers, Baxter CF25 Dialyzers and the proposed device is 8 microns. The inner diameter o Cuprophan and Hemophan in both Baxter CF25 Dialyzer and the proposed device is 200 microns.
Blood is bumped via a roller pump from the artery of the patient into the arterial end of the dialvzer. The blood travels down through the dialyzer fibers where waste products pass through the membrane of the dialyzer into the dialysate, which is constantly circulating through the dilayzer on the outside of the hollow fibers. Blood then exits the venous end of the dilayzer back to the patient.
## Intended use
The Haidylena Cuprophan and Hemophan Hollow Fiber Dialyzer are indicated for use whenever a patient is in acute or chronic renal failure and a physician prescribes hemodialysis. Therefore, use of this device should be only on the direction of a physician who has evaluated all of the aspects of the patient's illness. The indication statement is essentially the same as the indication statement of the predicate devices.
## Technological Characteristics
Comparing the proposed device to the predicate device, some similarities are noted in the design and materials employed to accomplish the same intended use. Both the proposed device and Cope Centry Sytem 160E Dialyzers utilize the same Cupropohan hollow fiber membrane manufactured by Akzo (Enka) of Germany. Both the proposed device and Cobe Centry Syatem 160E Dialyzers utilize polycarbonate for the header material and polyurethan for membrane potting material. The proposed device and predicate devices are sterilized by ethylene oxide gas.

Two short videos show you everything — or skip straight to the written tutorial if you'd rather read. You can reopen this any time from the Tutorial button in the top bar.
Part 1 — Search, results, and everyday workflows 16 min
Part 2 — Embeddings: the galaxy map 3 min
1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.
4. Device detail page: chat and citations
Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story. This is also exactly how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works under the hood, and it makes a great visual on client calls.
