The description focuses on physical water purification components and system alarms based on monitors, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.
No.
The device purifies water for hemodialysis, which is then used to prepare dialysate or rinse dialyzers. It does not directly treat a patient's condition.
No
Explanation: The device is a water purification system used to prepare water for hemodialysis. Its function is to treat water, not to diagnose medical conditions in patients. The system includes monitors and alarms for its own internal operation and water quality, not for diagnosing patient health.
No
The device description explicitly lists numerous hardware components such as filters, pumps, valves, gauges, and a storage vessel, indicating it is a physical system, not software only.
Based on the provided text, the AmeriWater Purification System for Hemodialysis is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to purify water for use in preparing dialysate and rinsing dialyzers for hemodialysis. This is a process that supports the medical treatment of a patient, but it does not involve testing a sample taken from the human body to provide diagnostic information.
- Device Description: The device is a water purification system with various components designed to treat water. It does not perform any analysis or testing of biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any features or functions related to analyzing biological samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic results.
- Predicate and Reference Devices: The listed predicate and reference devices are also water purification systems, not IVD devices.
In summary, the AmeriWater Purification System for Hemodialysis is a medical device used in the context of hemodialysis treatment, but its function is to treat water, not to perform in vitro diagnostic testing.

Dear Mr. Bowman:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
