Intended Use
These Water Purification Devices 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
The BJJ&A water purification component for hemodialysis will be used with a hemodialysis system. The Water purffication 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 purfication components, both activated carbon filtration and deionization, utilize no new water purification techniques. Deionization tanks from both BJJ&A and AmeriWater are utilized to remove dissolved solids from the water. Both utilize mixed bed resin, consisting of anion and cation resin, to remove the charged particles from the water. Both utilize parts and materials which are "NSF" and/or FDA approved. Activated carbon filtration is utilized by both BJJ&A and AmeriWater 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 fitters in a series configuration. 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 chloramines removal. Both BJJ&A and AmeriWater recommended the chlorine and chloramine levels be checked before each patient shift. Both companies recommend hard plumbed bypass piping of the carbon tanks not be allowed on either component. Both components will utilize an activated carbon with an lodine number of 900 or greater. BJJ&A always recommends using a dual carbon filter in series in every dialysis water system installed, including single patient systems.

No
The description focuses on traditional water purification techniques (activated carbon filtration and deionization) and explicitly states that no new water purification techniques are utilized. There is no mention of AI or ML in the text.

No.
The device components are used to purify water for dialysis, not to directly treat a patient's medical condition. It is a component of a water purification system.

No

The device is a water purification component intended to remove organic and inorganic substances and microbial contaminants from water used in dialysis and equipment cleaning. Its function is to purify water, not to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly details physical components (activated carbon and deionization components) and their function in a water purification system. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to purify water used in dialysis and for other purposes like equipment cleaning. This is a water treatment system, not a device used to examine specimens taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical components and processes for removing substances from water (activated carbon filtration and deionization). It does not describe 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
    • Using reagents or assays for testing
    • Measuring biomarkers or analytes

The device is clearly intended to prepare water for use in a medical procedure (dialysis) and related activities, but it does not perform diagnostic testing itself.

Dear Mr. Hulsey:

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.
