No
The summary describes a standard water treatment system using reverse osmosis and filtration, with no mention of AI or ML technologies. The performance studies focus on standard engineering and biological testing, not AI/ML model validation.

No.
The device is a water treatment system for hemodialysis applications, removing contaminants from water used to prepare dialysate, rather than directly treating the patient.

No

Explanation: The device is a water treatment system for hemodialysis, intended to purify water for use in preparing dialysate and rinsing dialyzers. It does not diagnose any medical conditions or diseases.

No

The device description clearly outlines a complete water purification system consisting of hardware components like reverse osmosis units, filters, softeners, and valves. While software is mentioned in the performance studies for validation and verification, the core device is a physical system, not software only.

Based on the provided text, the Aquaboss® EcoRO I, EcoRO I HT, EcoRO Dia II and EcoRO Dia II HT water treatment systems are not In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) devices.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to treat water for use in hemodialysis applications, specifically for preparing dialysate, rinsing dialyzers, and preparing solutions for reprocessing dialyzers. This is a process related to patient treatment, not for examining specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The device description focuses on the physical components and the reverse osmosis process used to purify water. It does not describe any components or processes 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 analysis
    • Measuring analytes in a sample

The device is clearly intended to prepare a necessary component (purified water) for a medical procedure (hemodialysis), which falls under the category of a medical device, but not specifically an In Vitro Diagnostic device. The predicate devices listed also support this conclusion, as they are also water treatment systems for hemodialysis.

4) Raw Water Temperature Blending Value

Aquaboss® EcoRO Dia I + II (HT) operates on the reverse osmosis principle. Reverse Osmosis describes a process involving a pressure operated cross filtration system. The water high pressure tangentially to a semi permeable membrane. As it is the case with normal filtration the system is cleaned by allowing one component (water) of the mixture to be separated to pass through the membrane with almost no hindrance whereas the other components (dissolved and non-dissolved water contents) are held back to leave the fitration unit in the concentrate flow. This is a separation process in the molecular sector which does not change the components being separated either chemically, biologically or thermally.

In order to ensure the microbiological quality of the permeate, this system has:

  • . A dead space free stainless steel pressure vessel for the RO membrane.
  • . A hygienic design with smooth surfaces
  • . Automatic flushing program to remove impurities from the membrane surface (impulse backwashing)
  • . Automatic flushing during standby periods to exchange stagnant water
  • . Dead space free connection between Reverse osmosis and the Dialysis machine's via continuous flow distribution loop.
  • . The implementation of a secondary distribution loop which reduces dead space and pressure fluctuations.

Performance Monitoring:

The conductivity of the Permeate and the operating mode is continuously displayed on the LCD on the operator's panel. Alarm and error messages are displayed on the LCD. All readings for conductivities (raw water, permeate), flow (permeate, concentrate) system pressure, temperature are presented on the display on the operator's panel on request.

Impulse backwash

After the system has been switched on or after switchover from standby operation to dialysis operation the membrane and the complete system can be pre flushed for 2 - 45 minutes. In this state the system carries out repeated backwashing operations and flushes concentrate down the drain.

Cleaning & Disinfection:

Aquaboss® EcoRO Dia I + II (HT) Series has a menu-guided cleaning and disinfection program. By following the displayed messages disinfection with peracetic acid disinfection products or heat can easily be carried out by the operator.

Standby operation

During standby the EcoRO Dia Series flushes automatically to reduce microbial growth in the system.

  • All systems monitor water quality on digitally displays ●
  • As a beneficial feature Aquaboss® EcoRO Dia I+II (HT) may be equipped with a second . membrane barrier to provide fully redundant 100% capacity. The optional second RO stage is completely flushed through during standard operation. That prevents the risk of microbiological growth during standby that usually present in alternating central RO systems where one RO is in standby while the second RO is operational.

We therefore consider the Aquaboss EcoRO Dia I + II (HT) Water Treatment to be substantially equivalent to the following approved devices.

Intended use:

Device that is intended for use with a hemodialysis system to remove organic and inorganic substances and microbial contaminants from water used to dilute dialysate concentrate to form dialysate. This device may include a water softener, sediment filter and carbon filter

Aquaboss® EcoRO Dia I + II (HT) Water Treatment System is an accessory device designed to safely and effectively provide water purification for use in Hemodialysis applications.

The product water produced will meet the minimum water quality requirements as specified by the AAMI AISI ISO standard 13959:2009 and AAMI ANSI ISO standard 23500:2011 when used as directed. Dependent on feed water quality, this unit may be used in conjunction with other approved water treatment components. Enclosed below is a chart indicating the physical differences of the EcoRO Dia Series:

Pre treatment and EcoRO Dia Series Diagram with optional dual stage RO and heat disinfection module.

Image /page/6/Figure/3 description: The image shows a diagram of a water treatment system. The system consists of four main stages: feed, pretreatment, reverse osmosis, and distribution system. The pretreatment stage includes a temperature control valve, booster pump, prefilter (5-25 μm), activated carbon (main and polisher), and an optional softener. The reverse osmosis stage includes a prefilter (5 μm), EcoRO Dia (single stage), and options for single or dual stage HT.

Technological Characters

Comparing the proposed device to the predicate devices, some similarities and differences are noted in the design employed to accomplish the same intended use: All systems utilize reverse osmosis for purification of water to be used for Hernodialysis. All systems utilize a polyamide, thin film composite, and spiral wound membrane for Hemodialysis. All systems are intended to be used for water purification for Hemodialysis. All systems use substantially equivalent water contact materials for pumps, tubing and other fittings. All systems can utilize chemical disinfection using peracetic acid disinfection products or heat disinfection as outlined in the AAM ANSI ISO standard 23500:2011. All systems display poor water quality and pressure alarms on a display. All systems monitor water quality on digitally displays.

The Aquaboss® EcoRO Dia I + II (HT) Multi-Patient Water Treatment System may combine features of the predicate devices (heat disinfection of the ring main and heat disinfection of the RO membrane) as optional features.

An additional feature of Aquaboss® EcoRO Dia I + II (HT) is the optional second RO stage. This second stage works as a redundant backup RO that is permanently flushed and flown through. As an additional benefit this configuration adds a second permeate purification step to the system to ensure best microbiological and chemical water quality.

Assessment of non-clinical performance data

The non clinical testing applied to Aquaboss® EcoRO Dia I+II (HT) water purification units equipped with Software 1.04, in order to determine substantial equivalence with the predicate device included:

  • Validation and Verification of Software including all options for single and double staged RO . systems as well as HT (hot disinfection of RO membranes and ring main) in system integration testing as well as alarm and error testing. (Internal software and performance tests)
  • Disinfection chemical and heat (Internal software and performance tests) .
  • Membrane performance (flux, rejection) and system performance derived from QA testing . demonstrating that system performances are equivalent with predicate devices. Substantial Equivalence with predicate devices
  • Microbiological stability for bacterial counts and endotoxins according to AAMI AISI ISO standard . 13959:2009; AAMI AISO ISO standard 23500:2011
  • Leachable and extractable testing (Biocompatibility External Test laboratory and predicate . devices)

Conclusion

Testing results of demonstrate that Aquaboss® EcoRO Dia I+II (HT) water purification units meets all performance specifications equivalent to the predicate devices. In addition external and internal test results indicate that Aquaboss EcoRO Dia I+II (HT) comply with all requirements stated in applicable recognized consensus standards for water treatment for hemodialysis. Therefore we believe that Aquaboss EcoRO Dia I+II (HT) meets all AAMI/ANS//ISO standards and Federal Regulations that are applicable for water purification system for haemodialysis [21CFR876.5665]

Beyond that, heat disinfection of the RO membranes did not affect safety or membrane and performed equivalent to predicate device disinfection for the purpose of ensuring low microbiological counts.

In addition to standard tests applicable for reverse osmosis testing specific to heat disinfection of the membrane included:

  • Biocompatibility testing of extract from the hydraulic flow path of product contact material .
  • . Validation of heat disinfection procedure in regards to temperature and contact time
  • Long term evaluation of microbiological performance of the RO systems from performance data of European installations of these systems.

Test results demonstrate that the device is as safe, as effective and performs well or better than the predicate device.
