Overview
AI-generated summary, 20 Sep 2026
The Minnifilter Plus Hemofilter and Tubing Set is a high-permeability hemodialysis system, classified as a dialyzer. It is designed for use in artificial kidney therapies to treat patients with renal failure, fluid overload, or toxemic conditions by performing hemodialysis, hemofiltration, hemoconcentration, or hemodiafiltration. The device employs a hemodialyzer to filter blood, removing waste products and excess fluids while maintaining essential electrolytes and pH balance.
This single-use, sterile device is intended for use in clinical settings such as hospitals and dialysis centers. It is supplied as a complete hemofilter and tubing set, requiring no additional preparation beyond standard sterile connection protocols. The Minnifilter Plus complies with FDA 510(k) clearance (K962707) under regulation § 876.5860 and is categorized under product code KDI. No third-party labeling is required, and the device is intended for one-time use only.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 20 Sep 2026
What therapeutic procedures can the Minnifilter Plus Hemofilter and Tubing Set be used for in a clinical setting?
The Minnifilter Plus is designed for artificial kidney therapies, including hemodialysis, hemofiltration, hemoconcentration, and hemodiafiltration. These procedures are used to treat patients with renal failure, fluid overload, or toxemic conditions by filtering waste products and excess fluids from the blood while preserving essential electrolytes and pH balance.
Is the Minnifilter Plus Hemofilter and Tubing Set intended for single-use or repeated use, and how should it be handled?
The Minnifilter Plus is explicitly intended for single-use only, as stated in the device description. It is supplied sterile and requires no additional preparation beyond standard sterile connection protocols in clinical settings like hospitals or dialysis centers. After use, it must be discarded to prevent contamination or reuse.
What regulatory pathway was followed for FDA clearance of the Minnifilter Plus, and what does that mean for its use?
The Minnifilter Plus received FDA clearance through a 510(k) submission (K962707), classified as *substantially equivalent* under regulation § 876.5860. This means the device was determined to be as safe and effective as a legally marketed predicate device (a comparable hemodialyzer) and is categorized under product code KDI. The clearance does not imply any specific clinical indication but confirms compliance with FDA requirements for hemodialysis systems.
Are there multiple sizes or models of the Minnifilter Plus, and how would a buyer determine the correct one for their patient?
The provided data lists multiple FEI numbers (e.g., 3002806443, 3002807196), which typically correspond to different sizes, configurations, or membrane types of hemodialyzers. While exact specifications (e.g., surface area, blood flow rates) aren’t detailed here, these identifiers suggest the Minnifilter Plus may offer variations to accommodate different patient needs (e.g., pediatric vs. adult). Buyers should consult Minntech Corp. or their distributor for precise sizing guidance based on patient factors like weight, dialysis modality, or clearance requirements.
How should the Minnifilter Plus Hemofilter and Tubing Set be stored to maintain its sterility and functionality?
As a sterile, single-use device, the Minnifilter Plus should be stored in its original, unopened packaging in a clean, dry environment protected from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, or physical damage. The packaging is likely designed to preserve sterility until immediate pre-procedure use. Always follow the manufacturer’s printed instructions for storage conditions, which may include refrigeration or room-temperature storage—details not explicitly stated here but critical for maintaining device integrity.
