Device Description

MedRO™-SPD is a reverse osmosis unit used to purify water in hemodialysis applications.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document describes the MedRO™-SPD, a water purification unit for hemodialysis, and its performance testing. However, it does not include information about a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria in the context of a medical AI device, as implied by the structure of the requested output.

Specifically, the document pertains to hardware validation and water quality testing of a physical device, not an AI algorithm. Therefore, many of the requested fields are not applicable.

Here's an analysis based on the provided text, highlighting the differences:

The document describes performance testing for a physical medical device (a reverse osmosis unit), not an AI algorithm. Thus, questions related to AI-specific terms like "test set," "training set," "ground truth experts," "MRMC study," and "standalone AI performance" are not applicable.

Here's an attempt to answer the questions based on the provided content, acknowledging the difference in device type:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance Criteria (AAMI Standards)Reported Device Performance
AAMI quality water (chemical contaminants)Unit was able to significantly reduce chemical contaminants to amounts below the FDA recognized standard and AAMI requirements.
Bacteria reduction (AAMI requirements)Unit was able to reduce bacteria in the product water.
Endotoxin reduction (AAMI requirements - not FDA recognized at time of submittal)Unit was able to reduce endotoxin in the product water.
Components installed according to design (IQ)Passed (after correction of two discrepancies: electrical drawing and tubing material).
Unit operates according to design specifications (OQ)Passed (tested for power failure response, operating sequences, switch/button/indicator functions, alarm conditions).
Unit operates as specified during failures (FAT)Passed (tested for low quality alarm, low water pressure shutdown, accurate rejection/quality readings).
Alarms operational when preset requirements aren't metAlarms were given forced conditions and were operational.
Product water meets AAMI RD5 quality waterBoth systems are designed so the product water will meet AAMI RD5 quality water. (Verified through sampling).

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

  • Sample Size: For water quality testing (chemical, bacteria, endotoxin), "Two samples were drawn for the water testing to assure reproducibility of these results." Other tests (IQ, OQ, FAT) involved functional testing of the single unit.
  • Data Provenance: The testing was conducted on the MedRO™-SPD unit itself, installed to a potable water source. This is a prospective, in-house validation of the manufactured device.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

  • This question is not applicable as the "ground truth" here refers to objective measurements against established engineering specifications and AAMI water quality standards, not expert interpretations of medical images or data. The "experts" would be the engineers performing the validation and laboratory technicians analyzing water samples according to standard protocols.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

  • Not applicable in the context of a physical device validation. Results were determined by direct measurement against pass/fail criteria (e.g., AAMI standards, functional test outcomes).

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

  • Not applicable. This is for a physical water purification device, not an AI system.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

  • Not applicable. This is for a physical water purification device, not an AI algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used

  • The "ground truth" was based on:
    • Engineering Design Specifications: For Installation Qualification (IQ), Operational Qualification (OQ), and Failure Analysis Test (FAT).
    • ANSI/AAMI American National Standard for Water Treatment Equipment for Hemodialysis Applications (RD5:1992 and RD62:2001): For chemical contaminants, bacteria, and endotoxin levels in the product water.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not applicable. This is for a physical water purification device, not an AI system. There is no "training set" in the AI sense. The device's design and manufacturing are based on established engineering principles and prior experience (e.g., the predicate device MedRO™ Reverse Osmosis System).

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

  • Not applicable. As noted above, there is no AI training set. The "ground truth" for the device's design and operation comes from engineering best practices, regulatory requirements, and industry standards like AAMI.

2. Device Information

Name: MedRO™-SPD Common Name: Single Patient Dialysis Reverse Osmosis Unit Classification: Water Purification Component for Hemodialysis

3. Predicate Device Information

MedRO™ Reverse Osmosis System (# K013677)

4. Device Description

MedRO™-SPD is a reverse osmosis unit used to purify water in hemodialysis applications.

5. Intended Use

The MedRO™-SPD is intended to be used as a component of a water purification system for Hemodialysis.

6. Comparison to Predicate Device

The MedRO-SPD™ and the MedRO™ both provide the same function using the same technology. The fundamental difference is the MedRO-SPD™ is smaller in size to the MedRO™. Both systems are designed to remove contaminants from the water supply prior to use in hemodialysis treatment by using the method of Reverse Osmosis. Both units utilize RO membranes in a single pass multi-stage format; feed water is passed through a series of 3 membranes to purify the water. Both systems measure quality of water and provide alarms when preset requirements aren't met. Both systems are also designed so the product water will meet AAMI RD5 quality water.

{1}------------------------------------------------

7. Non-clinical Performance Data

There were three hardware validations performed and product water samples drawn to test for AAMI water quality, bacteria, and endotoxin from the MedRO™-SPD unit.

The Installation Qualification (IQ) was performed to verify the components used to construct the MedRO™ unit were installed according to design specifications and drawings. The system was installed in accordance with the P&ID, Electrical Schematic, Bill of Material, and Operations & Maintenance Manual. There were two discrepancies noted and corrected. The first discrepancy was found on the electrical drawing, RX101-051, the transformer was not drawn correctly. The drawing has been revised and is now correct. The second discrepancy was found in the P&ID, RX101-003. The drawing indicated Polyethylene tubing which is not appropriate for medical use, the drawing has since been corrected to indicate polypropylene tubing. The tubing and vessels passed the hydrostatic testing that was performed. The unit was designed, assembled and installed with no deadlegs. The alarms were given forced conditions from the O&M Manual and were operational. The MedRO™-SPD unit passed the Installation Qualification.

The unit ran for 14 hours while performing the Operational Qualification (OQ). This was performed to provide evidence that the unit will operate according to design specifications. The unit was tested for proper response in the case of a power failure. Concluding that it will shut off during a power failure and require a manual re-start upon the power being restored. The unit was ran through all operating sequences that are specified in the O&M Manual and verified the output of the device responded and that those responses were correct. Switches, buttons and indicators were tested to verify the functions and displays are what were specified. Alarm conditions were simulated to verify that the unit would alarm for necessary conditions.

A Failure Analysis Test (FAT) was performed to ensure that when the system is introduced to failures that it operates as specified. The reject value was set to 100% (100% rejection is an unachievable limit which will force the system into alarm simulating a low quality reading) and the Low Quality Alarm did sound. The water pressure was set below the 15-psi requirement; the unit shut down and required manual re-start to restore power to the unit. The system was also tested to indicate accurate rejection, feed water quality, product water quality and current set points. The unit passed the Failure Analysis Test.

In addition to the above testing, water samples were collected to test the unit for AAMI quality water; bacteria and endotoxin requirements set by AAMI. At this time the FDA does not recognize the AAMI limit for endotoxin, but because the end user will test for endotoxin levels we felt it would be informative to provide this test also. The unit was installed to a potable water source with a 10" carbon filter preceding the unit (to protect the membranes from chlorine) and ran for 30 minutes prior to sampling. The unit was able to significantly reduce the chemical contaminants in water to amounts below the FDA recognized standard. The unit was also able to reduce bacteria and endotoxin in the product water.

9. Conclusions of Performance Data

The MedRO-SPD unit passed a battery of diagnostic tests including, three hardware validations, AAMI water analysis, bacteria and endotoxin testing. Two samples were drawn for the water testing to assure reproducibility of these results.

10. Additional Safety & Effectiveness

In addition to the testing conducted for this submittal, the USFilter service/installation facility follows procedure 11.030, Service Department Responsibility for Dialysis Installation and Start-up, in our QSR Manual (see #K980182). According to this procedure the unit must pass acceptable bacteria, endotoxin and chemical contaminant criteria prior to releasing the unit to the end user.
