Intended Use
The Matrix Series Digital Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment System is an accessory device designed to safely and effectively provide water purification for use in hemodialysis applications. The water produced will meet the minimum water quality requirements as specified by Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) standard RD62:2003 when used as directed. Dependent on feed water quality this unit may be used in conjunction with other approved water treatment components.
Device Description
The Matrix Series Digital Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment System is an accessory device that is intended for use with a hemodialysis applications and is intended to remove organic and inorganic substances and microbial contaminants from tap water used to dilute dialysate concentrate to form dialysate. The Matrix Series Digital Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment System will produce water as prescribed by the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) RD62:2003 standard provided adequate flow rate of the feed (tap) water and compliance with existing drinking water standards and proper pre-treatment.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a water treatment system for hemodialysis and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device purifies water for hemodialysis applications, making it an accessory device for a therapeutic procedure rather than a therapeutic device itself.

No

The device is a water treatment system for hemodialysis applications, described as an "accessory device" intended to purify water. It does not perform any diagnostic functions by identifying disease, assessing health conditions, or providing information for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Water Treatment System" and describes its function in removing substances from water, indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software.

Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide purified water for use in hemodialysis applications. This is a treatment process performed on a patient, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample taken from a patient.
  • Device Description: The device description reinforces its role in purifying water for hemodialysis, specifically for diluting dialysate concentrate. This is a functional component of a medical treatment system.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status
    • Using reagents or assays to detect specific substances

The device is clearly described as an accessory device for a medical treatment (hemodialysis) and its function is to prepare a necessary component (purified water) for that treatment.

4 Device Description

The Matrix Series Digital Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment System is an accessory device that is intended for use with a hemodialysis applications and is intended to remove organic and inorganic substances and microbial contaminants from tap water used to dilute dialysate concentrate to form dialysate. The Matrix Series Digital Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment System will produce water as prescribed by the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) RD62:2003 standard provided adequate flow rate of the feed (tap) water and compliance with existing drinking water standards and proper pre-treatment.

5 Substantial Equivalence To Predicate Device

The Matrix Series Digital Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment System is based upon the technology of the Water Purification System For Hemodialysis manufacturered by Better Water (K920186) with respect to "wetted-contact materials", pump size and the selection of the type and number of membranes.

Additionally, the Matrix Series features an electronic PLC with firmware as well as an Operator Interface Touch Screen. These electronic features are equivalent to the electronic features incorporated in the MD 400 (K993200) and 600 (K041163) Series Water Systems manufactured by Isopure Incorporated.

See the table below for detailed comparison.

Dear Mr. Cline:

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 (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such 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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

6

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at one of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of this letter:

21 CFR 876.xxxx(Gastroenterology/Renal/Urology)240-276-0115
