Indications for Use: The Crit- Line IV System is used to non-invasively measure hematocrit, oxygen saturation and percent change in blood volume. The Crit-Line Clip (CLiC) measures hematocrit, percent change in blood volume and oxygen saturation in real time for application in the treatment of dialysis patients with the intended purpose of providing a more effective treatment for both the dialysis patient and the dialysis technician. Based on the data that the monitor provides, the clinician/nurse, under physician direction, intervenes (i.e. increases or decreases the rate at which fluid is removed from the blood) in order to remove the maximum amount of fluid from the dialysis patient without the patient experiencing the common symptoms of dialysis which include nausea, cramping and vomiting. The Crit-Line IV is a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendment (CLIA) exempt instrumentation device. US Patent Nos. 8,287,739, 8,130,369 and pending, comparable and/or related patents.

General Warnings
Warning: Read manual before use. Warning: The Crit-Line IV monitor and Crit-Line in a Clip (CLiC) device described herein do not contain parts which can be serviced. No modification of this equipment is allowed. Caution: The Crit-Line in a Clip (CLiC) device used by the Crit Line IV is a sensitive electro-optical device. Use special care when handling, storing, or cleaning the device. See the CritLine IV Monitor Care section (page 70) Caution: Use only a stylus or fingertip to operate the touch screen of the Crit-Line IV monitor. Caution: The Crit-Line IV Monitor is not intended to be connected to a public or hospital network. Caution: Air bubbles trapped in the Crit-Line Blood Chamber or in the blood sample drawn for comparison of Hct and O2 Saturation will cause poor correlation between the Crit-Line IV measurement and the reference standard. Caution: The CLiC device calibration was verified using blood samples with serum sodium levels of 137 mEq/L. Changes in [Na+] affect the micro centrifuge-derived hematocrit values as follows: 1 unit decrease in “spun” hematocrit per 12 mEq/L increases in [Na+]. Abnormal sodium concentration may occur due to: Use of blood bank blood with sodium citrate (165 mEq/L) Use of normal saline (0.9% NaCl) as diluent (154 mEq/L) Over hydration (<137 mEq/L) Caution: Hemolysis may affect hematocrit determination by reporting higher Hct values, although no changes in Crit-Line IV monitor measurements have been noted for plasma hemoglobin levels below 5gm%. Caution: The Crit-Line IV monitor has not been tested for all possible blood conditions. Some of these conditions include sickle cell anemia, macrocytic anemia, and hyperlipidemia. Certain drugs and/or medications may cause idiopathic hyperlipidemias such as the prostaglandins (e.g. Alprostadil) and the intralipids given intravenously. These conditions may cause the hematocrit measurement to be inaccurate. Caution: Factors such as food and water intake, and postural changes (e.g. recumbent versus sitting) may significantly affect the circulating blood volume during dialysis and can be observed

by the instrument. Nonetheless, the Crit-Line IV monitor only measures the changes occurring in the circulating blood volume and should not be confused with volumetric control devices which measure only the amount of fluid removed. Furthermore, while a patient’s plasma refilling rate may vary depending on diet, state of health, medications, temperature, and posture, the Crit-Line IV monitor does not measure the rate of refilling. The Crit-Line IV monitor measures the change in total intravascular blood volume. Note: The Crit-Line IV monitor is only a tool used to compliment a hemodialysis treatment. Operators must rely on their own clinical assessment of the patient to administer the treatment, as per the standard of care. Note: If the Crit-Line IV monitor displays the message “Verify Accuracy” the CLiC device must be verified for accuracy before using it to monitor the treatment. To verify the CLiC device automatically, clip the device on its verification filter, which is attached to its cable. Note: Hemoglobin oxygen saturation (O2 Sat) values have a wide range depending on the type of vascular access and other factors. An O2 Sat value from a Central Venous Catheter will typically be lower than a value from an arteriovenous fistula or graft.

Crit-Line IV System The Crit-Line IV monitor is used to non-invasively measure a hemodialysis patient’s hematocrit, oxygen saturation and calculate percent change in blood volume. These measurements occur in real time in order to provide a more effective treatment. Under the direction of a physician, the clinician/nurse can increase or decrease the ultrafiltration (UF) rate in order to remove the maximum amount of fluid without the patient experiencing the common dialysis related complications which include hypotension, nausea, cramping and vomiting. Essential Performance The essential performance for the Crit-Line IV system is to measure within the specified accuracy, Hematocrit (Hct) and Oxygen Saturation (02 Sat). Crit-Line IV Monitor The Crit-Line IV monitor is a touch screen display device. The monitor mounts to the IV pole of the hemodialysis machine by means of the pole mount. The monitor is operated by touching buttons on the display. Menus are navigated by pressing buttons which allows the operator to do the following: Display the hematocrit, oxygen saturation and percent change in blood volume measurements in real time during a dialysis treatment. Review and print previous treatment data. Perform setup activities to control basic features of the Crit-Line IV monitor. CLiC Device The CLiC device connects via a cable with a USB connector to the port on the bottom left of the Crit-Line IV monitor. The CLiC device is a sensor that when placed on the Crit-Line Blood Chamber, located between the arterial bloodline and the blood inlet port of the hemodialyzer, monitors the patient’s hematocrit, oxygen saturation and percent change in blood volume. The CLiC device clips onto the Crit-Line Blood Chamber and shines light through the lens of the Crit-Line Blood Chamber onto a sensor on the opposite side of the blood chamber. This sensor detects the level of absorption and scattering of the light as it is transmitted through the patient’s blood as it flows through the blood chamber.

CLiC Verification Filter Each CLiC device is paired with a verification filter that is unique to that device. The CLiC Verification Filter is attached to the CLiC device’s USB cable. The verification filter is used to periodically verify the accuracy of the CLiC device. The CLiC device should be securely clipped to the verification filter when it is not in use. Note: When the CLiC device is stored on its verification filter, the Crit-Line IV monitor will automatically verify the accuracy of the CLiC device on a daily basis. Note: If the CLiC device is not stored on the CLiC Verification Filter, the device must be verified at least once per month. If it has been more than 30 calendar days since the CLiC was last verified, the Crit-Line IV monitor will display an alert message informing the user that the CLiC needs to be verified.
Disposable Crit-Line Blood Chamber The Crit-Line Blood Chamber is a sterile, disposable piece designed to ensure a consistent viewing area for the CLiC device sensor. This provides accurate, repeatable Hematocrit and oxygen saturation measurements. ZigBee Radio (Optional) The ZigBee Radio is used for printing data at the end of a patient treatment. The ZigBee Radio connects via a USB port on the bottom of the Crit-Line IV monitor and wirelessly sends data to another ZigBee Radio which is connected to a computer in the treatment area. This computer must have a copy of the Crit-Line Printer Software (Version 1.5 or later) loaded and running. The Crit-Line Printer Software receives the data and generates a report that is automatically sent to the default printer listed on the computer. Note: Multiple Crit-Line IV monitors with ZigBee Radios can be used in one facility at the same time to print data wirelessly to a single computer in the treatment area. Note: The Crit-Line IV monitor does not require the ZigBee Radio to be installed for monitoring a patient treatment. Note: ZigBee is a specification for a suite of high-level communication protocols used to create personal area networks built from small, low-power digital radios. ZigBee is based on an IEEE 802.15 standard.
