Overview
AI-generated summary, 20 Sep 2026
The AF-150 Hemodialyzer is a high-permeability dialyzer designed for blood purification in hemodialysis procedures. It facilitates the removal of waste products, excess fluids, and electrolytes from the blood of patients with renal failure by diffusion and convection through a semipermeable membrane.
This device is intended for single-use in clinical settings, including hospitals and dialysis centers. It is classified under FDA product code KDI as a Class II medical device with special controls, and it has received FDA 510(k) clearance (K992566) as substantially equivalent. The device operates within regulatory framework 21 CFR §876.5860 and is supplied sterile for immediate clinical use.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 20 Sep 2026
What clinical setting is the AF-150 Hemodialyzer intended for, and why is it designed as single-use?
The AF-150 Hemodialyzer is designed exclusively for clinical settings like hospitals and dialysis centers, where hemodialysis procedures are performed. It is intended for single-use to ensure patient safety by eliminating the risk of cross-contamination between patients, which is critical in renal failure treatment where sterility and reliability are paramount.
How is the AF-150 Hemodialyzer supplied, and what does 'sterile for immediate clinical use' mean in this context?
The AF-150 Hemodialyzer is supplied sterile and ready for immediate clinical use, meaning it undergoes terminal sterilization to ensure no microbial contamination remains before packaging. This allows clinicians to open and use it directly without additional sterilization steps, reducing procedural time and ensuring consistency in patient care.
What regulatory pathway was followed for FDA clearance of the AF-150 Hemodialyzer, and what does 'substantially equivalent' indicate?
The AF-150 Hemodialyzer followed the FDA 510(k) pathway, specifically a traditional review process, to demonstrate it is 'substantially equivalent' to a legally marketed predicate device. This means it has the same intended use and technological characteristics as the predicate, meeting FDA’s criteria for safety and effectiveness under 21 CFR §876.5860 without requiring a full premarket approval.
Are there different sizes or models of the AF-150 Hemodialyzer, and how would a clinician determine the appropriate one for a patient?
The provided data does not specify distinct sizes or models beyond the AF-150 designation, but the device is categorized under high-permeability hemodialyzers, which typically vary by membrane surface area, blood flow rate compatibility, and clearance rates. Clinicians would select the appropriate model based on patient-specific factors like body size, dialysis prescription (e.g., Kt/V targets), and comorbidities, often guided by manufacturer guidelines or nephrology protocols.
