Intended Use
The Gambro Posiclear filter is intended to remove bacteria, endotoxin, and particulate matter from water used for hemodialysis. It is intended for use in dialysis water treather systems as a final stage of filtration after RO or DI treatment to help control bacteria and endotoxin levels in purified water distribution systems. This filter is not intended as a primary means of water purification for hemodialysis
Device Description
The Gambro Posiclear filter consists of a encapsulated, micro porous pleated nylon membrane in a polypropylene housing designed to filter endotoxins, bacteria and particulates from water intended to be used for hemodialysis

No
The device description and intended use focus on physical filtration mechanisms, and there is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the provided text.

No.
The device is a water filter for hemodialysis systems, not a device directly applied to a patient for diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a filter intended to remove impurities from water used for hemodialysis, not to diagnose a medical condition. Its function is to purify water, which is a supportive role in hemodialysis, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical filter consisting of a membrane and housing, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to filter water used for hemodialysis, removing bacteria, endotoxin, and particulate matter. This is a water purification process, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample from a patient.
  • Device Description: The description details a filter designed to remove substances from water. It does not describe a device used to analyze biological samples for diagnostic purposes.
  • 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.)
    • Detecting or measuring analytes in biological samples
    • Providing information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition in a patient.

The device is clearly intended for use in a water treatment system to prepare water for a medical procedure (hemodialysis), not to diagnose or monitor a patient's health status.

§ 876.5665 Water purification system for hemodialysis.

(a)
Identification. A water purification system for hemodialysis is a device that is intended for use with a hemodialysis system and that is intended to remove organic and inorganic substances and microbial contaminants from water used to dilute dialysate concentrate to form dialysate. This generic type of device may include a water softener, sediment filter, carbon filter, and water distillation system.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device, when it is a water purification subsystem disinfectant, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.

JAN - 4 2007#### Device Description:

The Gambro Posiclear filter consists of a encapsulated, micro porous pleated nylon membrane in a polypropylene housing designed to filter endotoxins, bacteria and particulates from water intended to be used for hemodialysis

Predicate Device:

MINNTECH CORP. FIBERFLOW HOLLOW FIBER CAPSULE WATER FILTER

Intended Use:

The Gambro Posiclear filter is intended to remove bacteria, endotoxin, and particulate matter from water used for hemodialysis. It is intended for use in dialysis water treatment systems as a final stage of filtration after RO or DI treatment to help control bacteria and endotoxin levels in purified water distribution systems. This filter is not intended as a primary means of water purification for hemodialysis

Technological Characteristics:

Comparing the proposed devices to the predicate devices, they are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. Both the proposed and predicate devices use the a micro porous membrane to remove endotoxin, bacteria and particulates from water intended for hemodialysis.

Dear Dr. Shideman:

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.

Image /page/2/Picture/10 description: The image shows a circular logo with the text "FDA Centennial 1906-2006". The letters "FDA" are prominently displayed in the center of the logo. Three stars are located below the word "Centennial". The logo is surrounded by a dotted circle.
