The device description focuses solely on traditional water purification techniques (carbon filtration and water softening) and mechanical design differences compared to the predicate device. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any computational analysis of data for decision-making or control.
No.
Explanation: The device is a water purification system component for dialysis, not a therapeutic device. It processes water used in medical procedures, but does not directly treat patients.
No
This device is a water purification system component for dialysis, designed to remove substances from water. It does not diagnose medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly details physical components like carbon filters, water softeners, tanks, piping, and valves, indicating it is a hardware-based system for water purification.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to purify water for use in dialysis and other related equipment processes. This is a water treatment system, not a device used to examine specimens derived from the human body.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the physical components and processes of water purification (carbon filtration, water softening). It does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Providing diagnostic information about a patient's health
- Using reagents or assays
- Measuring analytes in a sample
The device is clearly intended to prepare water for use in a medical procedure (dialysis) and related equipment, which falls under the category of medical devices, but not specifically IVDs.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
Carbon Filters and Water Softeners are intended to be used as components of a water purification system to remove organic and inorganic substances from water that is used to dilute dialysis concentrate to form dialysate and to produce purified water for other purposes such as dialyzer reprocessing and equipment rinse and disinfection

Device Description
Note: In this summary the word "component" refers to an individual part of a water treatment system. Example : the water softener or the carbon filter. The word system refers to the water purification plant as a whole. Example: the water softener, carbon filter, reverse osmosis, storage tank, ultrafiltration, ultraviolet sterilizer, and pumping systems. We are claiming substantial equivance to components
Bob J. Johnson & Assoc., Inc. (BJJ&A) is applying for a 510(k) premarket notification for our "Water Purification Components for Hemodialysis". The following is a summary of our submission document. The regulatory classification is class II CFR 876.5665(a), Product Code 78 FIP. The device we are claiming substantial equivalence to is marketed by U.S. Filter. The registration number for this device is K980182, U.S. Filter Water. Purification System. Regulatory Class: II, 21 CFR 876.5665/Procode: 78 FIP.
The BJJ&A water purification system for hemodialysis will be used with a hemodialysis system. The Water purification system will remove organic and inorganic substances and microbial contaminants from water used to dilute dialysate, bicarbonate, acetate and sterilant for dialyzer reprocessing. The purified water will also be used in the equipment disinfection process, equipment rinsing and any other application the clinic/customer deems appropriate. This system will meet all the requirements put forth by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) and any other laws that may apply.
The BJJ&A water purification components utilize no new water purification techniques, carbon filtration and water softening. The predicate device system we are claiming SE to, utilizes the exact same water purification principles. The following is a comparison summary of the BJJ&A water treatment components and the predicate device.
BJJ&A and U.S. Filter both utilize a water softener made of materials, which are "NSF" and/or FDA approved. U.S. Filters' softener is installed with a single regeneration tank and electrically interlocked to shut down the RO unit operation during the softener regeneration cvcle. BJJ&A softeners are installed in a single regeneration tank configuration such as USF or in a duplex-twin alternating fashion to provide softened water to the system 24 hours a day. While one regeneration tank is in a regeneration cycle the other regeneration tank is on line providing soft water to the system. This will prevent the possibility of softener regeneration or a salt dump into the water purification system during a patient shift. This also eliminates the need to shut down the RO unit for softener regeneration. Information is available in the "purposes and operation" summary.
Carbon filtration is utilized by both BJJ&A and U.S. Filter to filter out chlorine and chloramines from the water. BJJ&A uses carbon filter made from materials, which are FDA or NSF approved. Both companies use two carbon filters in a series configuration with test ports installed after each filter. A minimum total contact time of 10 empty bed contact time minutes are incorporated into both designs as recommended by the FDA for chlorine and chloramine removal. Both BJJ&A and U.S. Filter recommended the chlorine and chloramine levels be checked before each patient shift. Hard plumbed bypass piping of the carbon tanks is not allowed on either component. Both components will utilize an activated carbon with an Iodine number of 900 or greater. Both BJJ&A and U.S. Filter uses in line carbon regeneration filters. U.S. Filter uses a single carbon filter in its single patient dialysis system. BIJ&A always uses a dual carbon filter in series in every dialysis water system installed, including single patient systems.
BJJ&A and U.S. Filter incorporate emergency equipment bypass lines and valving that are clearly labeled and tagged. Instructions for usage will be included with the water components and staff in-service will be provided to the clinic/customer by BJJ&A. The use of dead legged bypass piping will be avoided. Carbon filters will not have hard plumbed bypass lines. U.S. Filter emergency equipment bypass utilizes a dry bypass technique. This method uses breakable unions and isolation valves at the end of each bypass line so that stagnant water will not be present in the line in the event of an emergency bypass condition. BJJ&A emergency equipment bypass is a wt bypass method. In this method the bypass valve is installed with no more than one half pipe a diameter length in this methou the bypass valve to avoid water stagnation. The use of dead leg bypass piping is unacceptable.
BJJ&A water distribution piping will be configured with no dead legs longer than 6 pipe diameters. U.S. Filter installs sanitization/sanitant introduction valve(s) or introduction port must be incorporated to allow chemical injection of sanitants to allow sanitization of the RO must be incorporated to anow chemical injoined in connections or through the top of the storage system and storage and the the sites for sanitant introduction BJJ&A avoids having any additional deadleg bypass valving installed into the original piping system and this further avoids water stagnation.
Included in this document is labeling that is applied to the components of the water purification metuded in this doodinis. AAMI water purification standards are also included With an actual water quality analysis and Total Organic Carbon analysis from existing water with an actual water quality dialysis. Dimensional drawings and product specification sheets pullincation components for analysis vith owner's manuals for each of the components models.
In summary, the BJJ&A water purification components and the U.S. Filter predicate device In summary, the Discore water parinother. The core water purification components and tomponents are very bithe same. The differences are in the application of the bypass econnology are exactly the differences in these two systems are derived from the fact BJJ&A is in a constant attempt to provide the best water quality and safest possible system to the public.
Note: The Renal Care Facilities will supply their own reverse osmosis system, ultra-filtration rack, DI, and storage tanks. BJJ&A will only be providing the water softener systems and carbon systems.
