Intended Use
The DiPure Deionization Tanks are exchangeable mix bed tanks intended to remove ions from the water to a sufficient level to allow safe treatment of Hemodialysis patients. These deionization tanks are not to be used alone, but are intended to be a part of a larger water treatment system employing adequate pre-treatment and post-treatment. Upon exhaustion, these tanks will be replaced with other tanks containing newly regenerated resin, or new resin altogether. The DiPure Carbon Exchange Tanks are activated carbon tanks intended to remove chlorine and chloramines from the water to allow safe treatment of Hemodialysis patients. These carbon tanks are not to be used alone, but are intended to be a part of a larger water treatment system employing adequate pre-treatment and post-treatment. Upon exhaustion, these tanks are replaced with other tanks containing new activated carbon.
Device Description
DiPure's DI Exchange Tanks for Dialysis are approved tanks filled with mixed bed resin. Connectors are used in conjunction with a machined PVC schedule 80 head, stand pipe, fill port, and distributor basket. Our tanks are designed to supply AAMI standard water for dialysis through ion exchange. The DI exchange tanks are based on the Ameriwater Dialysis Deionizer Exchange Tanks. DiPure's Carbon Exchange Tanks for Dialysis are approved tanks filled with activated carbon. Connectors are used in conjunction with a machined PVC schedule 80 head, stand pipe, fill port, and distributor basket. These tanks are designed to remove chlorine and chloramines. These tanks are based on the Ameriwater Carbon Exchange Tanks.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use focus on physical water filtration components (deionization and carbon tanks) and do not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities indicative of AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section also explicitly states "Not Found".

No.

The device is a component of a larger water treatment system for hemodialysis, not a therapeutic device itself. It removes contaminants from water, which is then used for safe treatment, rather than directly treating a patient.

No

The device is described as deionization and carbon exchange tanks intended to remove impurities from water for hemodialysis, not to diagnose a condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly details physical components such as tanks, resin, activated carbon, connectors, PVC heads, stand pipes, fill ports, and distributor baskets, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the DiPure Deionization Tanks and DiPure Carbon Exchange Tanks are not IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) devices.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The intended use and device description clearly state that these tanks are used to treat water for hemodialysis patients. They are part of a water treatment system, not used to analyze biological samples.
  • The function is water purification. The tanks remove ions, chlorine, and chloramines from water. This is a water treatment process, not a diagnostic test performed on a patient sample.

Therefore, these devices fall under the category of medical devices used in the treatment process, specifically for preparing the water used in hemodialysis, rather than IVD devices used for diagnosis.

§ 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.

Comparison to Predicate AmeriWater Device

The DiPure Deionization Tanks are exchangeable/rechargeable mix bed tanks intended to remove ions from the water to a sufficient level to allow safe treatment of Hemodialysis patients. These deionization tanks are not to be used alone, but are intended to be a part of a larger water treatment system employing adequate pretreatment and post-treatment. Upon exhaustion, these tanks will be replaced with other tanks containing newly regenerated resin, or new resin altogether.

The DiPure Carbon Exchange Tanks are activated carbon tanks intended to remove chlorine and chloramines from the water to allow safe treatment of Hemodialysis patients. These carbon tanks are not to be used alone, but are intended to be a part of a larger water treatment system employing adequate pre-treatment and post-treatment. Upon exhaustion, these tanks are replaced with other tanks containing new activated carbon.

Deionization tanks from both DiPure and AmeriWater are utilized to remove dissolved solids from the water. Both utilize mixed bed resins, consisting of cation and anion resins to remove the charged particles in the water. Both utilize parts and materials that are NSF and/or FDA approved.

Activated carbon filtration is utilized by both DiPure and AmeriWater to filter out chlorine and chloramines from the water. DiPure uses carbon filter made from materials that are NSF and/or FDA approved. Both companies use two (2) carbon filters in a series configuration. Both DiPure and AmeriWater recommend the chlorine and chloramines are checked before each patient shift. Both companies utilize an activated carbon with an iodine number of 900 or greater. DiPure always recommends using dual carbon filters in series in every dialysis water system installed, including single patient systems.

In Summary, the DiPure water purification components and the AmeriWater predicate device components are substantially equivalent to one another. The core water purification components and technology are exactly the same.
