Intended Use

The AmeriWater MRO Portable Reverse Osmosis Systems are water treatment systems intended for use in hemodialysis applications. They are designed to pre-treat and purify potable water for use in making dialysate for hemodialysis and to meet current AAMI and Federal (U.S.) standards. The AmeriWater Portable MROS model is intended for use in a hospital, clinic, dialysis center, or for home care for single patient use. The AmeriWater Portable MRO1 model is for treatment of up to two patients in a hospital, clinic, or dialysis centers.

Device Description

Osmosis is a natural process where two liquids of different concentration are separated by a semi-permeable membrane and the liquid moves from the lower concentration to the higher concentration in order to achieve chemical equilibrium. Reverse osmosis, the scientific concept used in the AmeriWater MRO Portable Reverse Osmosis System, is the opposite of osmosis. Liquid is forced from a region of higher solute concentration through a semi-permeable membrane to a region of lower solute concentration. This is achieved by applying a pressure in excess of the osmotic pressure. Osmotic pressure is the pressure which needs to be applied to a solution to prevent the inward flow of water across a semi-permeable membrane. The MRO system uses a submersible pump to apply the pressure required for reverse osmosis.

The semi-permeable membrane used in the MRO system is a thin film composite (TFC) membrane. A TFC membrane is essentially a molecular sieve constructed in the form two or more layered materials. The membranes are made out of polyamide, chosen for its permeability to water and relative impermeability to various dissolved impurities and unfilterable molecules.

The MRO Portable Reverse Osmosis System purifies tap water by applying pressure (greater than the osmotic pressure difference) to the feed water supply in order to reverse the water flow through the semi-permeable reverse osmosis membrane so that the water moves from a more concentrated solution to a less concentrated solution resulting in purified permeate flow. Basically, the tap water is supplied to the MRO pump where ist is pressurized and sent to the membrane splits the tap water into permeate, which has passed through the membrane, and the concentrate, which passes over the membrane and carries the contaminants to drain. The AmeriWater MRO Reverse Osmosis System produces water that meets ANSI/AAMI RD62 requirements for water used in hemodialysis applications. It provides quiet operation for bedside use and may be used for acute care cases, small dialysis wings in a hospital, or for home care. Materials that contact the product water include: ABS, Acrylic, Carbon, Nylon, PVC, Polyester, Polyethylene, Polypropylene, Stainless Steel, Tygon, EPDM, Viton, and Buna N.

Tap water enters the AmeriWater MRO Portable Reverse Osmosis System and passes through dual carbon block filters to remove chlorine, chloramines, and sediment which may damage the RO membranes. The dual chloramine removal carbon cartidges are a special blended carbon that salisfies AAMI and CMS requirements. Rated at 1 micron, the filters have a capacity of 8000 gallons with 3 PPM of chloramine at 9.5 pH. The submersible RO pump then pressurizes the feed water to pressures greater than the osmotic pressure. The pressurized feed water is sent through the RO membranes where contaminants are removed, and the feed water is split into permeate, or product water, and concentrate, or reject water. The purified permeate water passes through a Nephros Dsu filter capsule (K110285) to remove microbiological contaminants (down to 0.005 microns) and then is directed to the point of use. A portion of the reject water is returned to the RO pump to reduce waste, and the remainder is sent to drain. Optional antiscalant (K991519) may be included for use on un-softened water supplies to remove hardness minerals that may scale the membrane.

The AmeriWater MRO Portable Reverse Osmosis System includes safety features for the user and to protect patient safety. The safety features meet current and include product water conductivity monitor with audible alarm, a low -pressure cut-off switch to prevent damage to the RO pump in low pressure situations, and a divert to drain feature that prevents product water with conductivity above the alarm set point limit from being used for patient treatment. The MRO also includes a simple disinfection procedure using hydrogen peroxide/peroxyacetic acid (PAA).

AI/ML Overview

This document describes the AmeriWater MRO Portable Reverse Osmosis System, a water purification system for hemodialysis. However, the provided text does not contain information about specific acceptance criteria, a study proving device performance against those criteria, or details regarding sample sizes, expert involvement, or comparative effectiveness studies (MRMC, standalone). It primarily functions as a 510(k) Summary and FDA clearance letter, focusing on device description, intended use, and substantial equivalence to predicate devices.

Therefore, many of the requested elements cannot be directly extracted from the provided text. I will address the points that can be gleaned from the document and explicitly state where information is missing.


1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document states that the device "produces water that meets ANSI/AAMI RD62 requirements for water used in hemodialysis applications" and "meet current AAMI and Federal (U.S.) standards." It also mentions specific performance characteristics related to filtration and microbiological contaminants. However, it does not provide a table outlining specific acceptance criteria values (e.g., maximum allowable conductivity, minimum removal rates for specific contaminants) nor detailed reported device performance values against these criteria.

Acceptance Criteria (Stated broadly in text due to lack of specific values)Reported Device Performance (Stated broadly in text due to lack of specific values)
ANSI/AAMI RD62 requirements for water used in hemodialysis applicationsProduces water that meets these requirements.
Current AAMI and Federal (U.S.) standardsDesigned to meet these standards.
Remove chlorine, chloramines, and sedimentDual carbon block filters remove these.
Chloramine removal capacity8000 gallons with 3 PPM of chloramine at 9.5 pH (for 1 micron filters).
Microbiological contaminants removalNephros Dsu filter capsule (K110285) removes contaminants down to 0.005 microns.
Product water conductivityMonitor with audible alarm; divert to drain feature if conductivity exceeds alarm.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

This information is not provided in the document. The text is a 510(k) summary, which generally focuses on substantial equivalence rather than detailed clinical or performance study results with specific sample sizes.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

This information is not provided in the document.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not provided in the document.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

A MRMC comparative effectiveness study is not mentioned or implied in the document. The device is a water purification system, not an imaging or diagnostic AI requiring human reader interaction.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study

While the device operates "standalone" in the sense that it performs water purification automatically, the document does not describe a specific "standalone study" with detailed results in the context of the prompt's likely interpretation (e.g., an AI algorithm's performance vs. a human's). The performance evaluation is implied to be against chemical and microbiological standards.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth for this device's performance would be:

  • Chemical and microbiological analysis: Water quality measurements (e.g., conductivity, levels of specific contaminants, microbiological counts) compared against established standards like ANSI/AAMI RD62. This is implied by the statements that the device "produces water that meets ANSI/AAMI RD62 requirements" and "removes microbiological contaminants."

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

This information is not provided in the document. The device is a physical water purification system, not an AI model that typically requires a "training set" of data in the common sense. Its "training" would be its engineering design and manufacturing processes to achieve the desired water quality.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

As noted above, a "training set" in the context of an AI algorithm is not applicable here. The "ground truth" for the device's design would stem from the engineering specifications and regulatory requirements (like AAMI standards) for hemodialysis water quality. The design and construction of the system are based on established scientific principles of reverse osmosis, filtration, and disinfection to achieve these standards.

Statement of Substantial Equivalence: The AmeriWater MRO Portable Reverse Osmosis System is substantially equivalent in intended use, function, and technology to the AmeriWater Systems) Aseptech Portable RO+ systems currently cleared for market under K924695, and the AmeriWater RO+ systems currently cleared for market under K991519. The new device is basically the same design as the predicate device with the exception of controller modifications to meet the requirements of UL 60601-1. In addition, new features have been added to meet current AAMI requirements. These include dual carbon block filters equivalent to carbon beds with 10-minute empty bed contact time. The carbon block filters replace the single carbon tank previously used in the MRO. A product water divert to drain feature has also been added. This feature diverts all water to drain if the permeate conductivity exceeds the alarm set point limit. The Nephros Dsu filter capsule (K110285) has also been added in order to help meet the new AAM requirements for microbiological contaminants. The basic flow path and scientific concepts for the device have not changed, nor has the intended use, electrical requirements, or environmental and incoming water specifications.
