The TANGO3 Water Storage Tank with Ozone Disinfection System is intended to be used for disinfection of the water distribution system of a dialysis facility. The tank of the TANGO3 is also used as the water holding tank of the distribution system. The disinfection process is completely automated. Ozone concentration during disinfection is between 0.2 ppm and 0.3 ppm. Weekly disinfection cycles should be for four periods of 30 minutes with adequate water flushes between them and after the last cycle. In addition to the weekly disinfection cycle, a 45 minute disinfection cycle with at least two rinse cycles may also be performed multiple times weekly for additional reduction of bioburden as determined by user facility monitoring. At the end of disinfection, the distribution loop will have less than 0.1 mg/l. (0.1 ppm) of ozone, in accordance with AAMI/ISO 26722:2009 (4.2.13.5).
The TANGO3 Water Storage Tank with Ozone Disinfection System is specifically designed to facilitate ozone induction into the storage tank, and then distribute the ozonated water through the distribution water loop during non-operational hours of a hemodialysis facility. The storage tank of the TANGO3 system is filled with adequate water and the ozone concentration is increased. The ozonated water is distributed throughout the distribution loop. The solution is recirculated throughout the distribution system. To complete the disinfection process, the system and distribution loop are then rinsed with adequate water. The described process is accomplished with 4 consecutive 30 minute cycles of ozone disinfection weekly. In addition, a disinfection cycle of 45 minutes multiple times per week may also be used for additional reduction of bioburden (as determined by user facility monitoring). After disinfection TANGO3 will leave the distribution loop with less than 0.1 mg/l. (0.1 ppm) of ozone, in accordance with AAMI/ISO 26722:2009 (4.2.13.5).
The TANGO3 Water Storage Tank with Ozone Disinfection System is intended for disinfection of the water distribution system of a dialysis facility. The device's performance was evaluated through reliability validation, disinfection validation, and field testing.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Reliability Validation: The system was tested to simulate 10 years of use. This implies continuous or simulated continuous operation for that duration to assess component function. The specific number of cycles or days of testing is not explicitly stated beyond "10 years of use". Data provenance is not specified, but typically, this type of testing is conducted in a controlled laboratory environment by the manufacturer.
- Disinfection Validation: Not explicitly stated how many tests or samples were used for each organism. The testing was conducted to validate the disinfection performance. Data provenance is not specified, but likely laboratory-based.
- Field Testing: Conducted in four (4) dialysis facilities. These facilities had documented histories of water contamination issues. This is retrospective for identifying the facilities, but the testing within those facilities with the TANGO3 system was prospective, conducted under a standard protocol.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
This is a medical device for water disinfection, not an AI/imaging device requiring expert interpretation for ground truth. Therefore, the concept of "experts" and their qualifications to establish ground truth data in the context of diagnostic accuracy is not directly applicable here. The "ground truth" for the disinfection tests would be established through laboratory analytical methods (e.g., bacterial culture, LAL assays) and chemical analysis (e.g., ozone concentration measurements) performed by qualified laboratory personnel.
4. Adjudication method for the test set:
Not applicable. This device's performance is measured by objective physical and chemical parameters and microbiological counts, not subjective interpretation requiring adjudication.
5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:
Not applicable. This is not an AI diagnostic imaging device evaluating human reader performance.
6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
The device itself is a standalone system with an automated disinfection process. The performance documented (O3 generation, disinfection efficacy, ambient ozone detection) is considered standalone performance. There isn't an "algorithm only" in the sense of a software-based diagnostic tool, but the device operates autonomously in its disinfection functions once initiated.
7. The type of ground truth used:
- Reliability Validation: Engineering specifications and objective measurements (e.g., ozone sensor readings, pump velocity measurements, alarm detection).
- Disinfection Validation: Microbiological assay results (e.g., bacterial counts, LAL endotoxin levels) compared against AAMI RD 62:2006 action levels. Chemical analysis for ozone concentration.
- Field Testing: Bacterial counts and endotoxin levels obtained through standard laboratory water testing methods, compared against AAMI RD 62:2006 recommendations.
8. The sample size for the training set:
The term "training set" is typically used in the context of machine learning. This device does not appear to use machine learning in a way that requires a distinct "training set" of data for an algorithm. The system is designed based on established principles of ozone disinfection and validated through engineering tests and biological efficacy studies.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
Not applicable for the reasons stated in point 8. The device's operational parameters (like ozone concentration, cycling times) are based on scientific evidence for microbial inactivation, not trained on a data set. Relevant ground truth is established through scientific literature, consensus standards (like AAMI/ISO), and previous laboratory research on ozone's bactericidal and virucidal properties.

Device Name: TANGO3 Water Storage Tank with Ozone Disinfection System
Device Classification Name: Hemodialysis System and Accessories (876.5820, FIN)
Device Classification: Class II
Device Description: The TANGO3 Water Storage Tank with Ozone Disinfection System is specifically designed to facilitate ozone induction into the storage tank, and then distribute the ozonated water through the distribution water loop during non-operational hours of a hemodialysis facility. The storage tank of the TANGO3 system is filled with adequate water and the ozone concentration is increased. The ozonated water is distributed throughout the distribution loop. The solution is recirculated throughout the distribution system. To complete the disinfection process, the system and distribution loop are then rinsed with adequate water. The described process is accomplished with 4 consecutive 30 minute cycles of ozone disinfection weekly. In addition, a disinfection cycle of 45 minutes multiple times per week may also be used for additional reduction of bioburden (as determined by user facility monitoring). After disinfection TANGO3 will leave the distribution loop with less than 0.1 mg/l. (0.1 ppm) of ozone, in accordance with AAMI/ISO 26722:2009 (4.2.13.5).
System Description and Theory of Operation
The TANGO3 Water Storage Tank with Ozone Disinfection System consists of the following components: a heat regenerative desiccant air dryer at a 20 SCFH of air flow, a Corona discharge ozone generator that produces a working concentration of 0.3ppm of ozone, a venturi based injection system, HDPE or Stainless Steel water storage tank, an off gas ozone destruct system, a multi-stage centrifugal distribution pump (duel distribution pumps are offered as an option), and a main controller and operator's interface. Sensors incorporated into the system include return and output flow sensors, an ozone sensor, a level sensor, a conductivity sensor, and an atmospheric ozone detector. Fluid contacting materials include: Stainless Steel 300 Series, High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Lexan® (Polycarbonate), Acrylic (PMMA), Teflon® (PTFE), Viton® (FKM), Kynar® (PVDF), and PVC. The System produces a dissolved ozone concentration of 0.20 ppm to 0.30 ppm during the disinfection process.
The TANGO3 System has been designed to meet the applicable requirements of the following voluntary standards:
{4}------------------------------------------------
- AAMI /ANSI RD52:2004 Dialysate for hemodialysis ■
- AAMI/ANSI RD62:2006 Water treatment equipment for hemodialysis applications ■
- AAMI/ISO 26722:2009 Water treatment equipment for hemodialysis applications and ■ related therapies
Ozone is produced in a flat gas stream which results in low energy consumption and high ozone concentration. Energy consumption is less than 7 kW per kilo ozone produced.
The ozone disinfection process is derived through the generator located on the front of the device. Atmospheric air passes through silica beads removing humidity from the air. The air then passes through an air dryer to additionally remove all remaining moisture from the air. The dry air passes between two electrode plates consisting of high current. To prevent the air from breaking down electrically along a simple line of rupture or spark, a sheet of glass is placed between the metal plates. By this means the air is made to break down electrically throughout thus greatly increasing the amount of ozone produced.
The air in the system is not pressurized but operates under a vacuum produced when the ozone recirculation pump is operating. The pump uses the purified water from the storage tank to pressurize the water. Then the water passes through a venturi creating a vacuum which will pull atmospheric air through the acrylic tube with silica gel, through the air dryers, and then through the generating chamber. The ozone gas is mixed with the purified water at the venturi and diffused into the holding tank. The ozonated water is then distributed from the holding tank to the distribution loop through the distribution pump and returns back to the storage tank. The return loop is monitored for dissolved ozone level achieving a level of 0.2 ppm to 0.3 ppm. Upon completion of the disinfection dwell time, a flushing phase is activated to destroy the residual ozone prior to use with patients.
To protect the distribution piping and well as other water contacting materials, a low level of ozone is used. Laboratory testing has proven a 6 log reduction of microbiological contamination when using dissolved ozone concentration levels between 0.2 ppm to 0.3 ppm while showing no immediate effect on PVC distribution piping.
Operation Overview
Three operational modes are provided: Dialysis, Maintenance, and Disinfection. The system is set to dialysis mode when the water system is being used for dialysis. The system is set to maintenance mode to allow for manual control of the system. Ozone product only occurs in disinfection mode. A description of the disinfection process follows.
The disinfection process is divided into the following phases, as shown above:
-
- Ozonation: During this phase the ozone generator is on and ozonated water is being recirculated through the loop.
-
- Loop and Tank Emptying: Once the ozonation phase is complete a valve will be actuated and the returning flow will go to drain instead of returning to the tank. The distribution pump will be kept on until the LOW TANK level is detected. At this point, the distribution pump, ozone generator and recirculation pump will be turned off. The tank drain valve will open. allowing the tank to empty by gravity.
{5}------------------------------------------------
-
- Tank and Loop Refill: After the loop and tank are empty, TANGO3 will allow adequate water to enter the storage tank. Once the TOP FLOAT level is detected, no more water will be allowed to enter the tank.
-
- During the weekly disinfection cycle, steps 1) through 3) will be repeated for each cycle.
-
- Ozone Destruction: A flushing process will be done with non ozonated water until the ozone sensor detects that the level of ozone residual complies with the AAMI requirements
To avoid the possibility of dissolved 03 in the distribution loop while water is being used for other purposes, the system has two (2) flow meters to measure the input and the output of the storage tank. If those two (2) readings are not equal the ozone generator and the distribution pump will be turned off. In addition, daily manual checks may be performed to assure the absence of ozone in the loop prior to the beginning of the dialysis treatment using a properly calibrated digital colorimeter.
The presence of ozone in the room will also be monitored using an ambient ozone sensor and/or ambient ozone detection badges. Visual and audible alarms will be given if the levels are above normal OSHA and EPA exposure values.
Intended Use: The TANGO3 Water Storage Tank with Ozone Disinfection System is intended to be used for disinfection of the water distribution system of a dialysis facility. The tank of the TANGO3 is also used as the water holding tank of the distribution system. The disinfection process is completely automated. Ozone concentration during disinfection is between 0.2 ppm and 0.3 ppm. Weekly disinfection cycles should be for four periods of 30 minutes with adequate water flushes between them and after the last cycle. In addition to the weekly disinfection cycle, a 45 minute disinfection cycle with at least two rinse cycles may also be performed multiple times weekly for additional reduction of bioburden as determined by user facility monitoring. At the end of disinfection, the distribution loop will have less than 0.1 mg/l. (0.1 ppm) of ozone, in accordance with AAMI/ISO 26722:2009 (4.2.13.5).

Conclusion: The information and data provided in this 510(k) Notification establish that the TANGO3 Water Storage Tank with Ozone Disinfection System is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device.
§ 876.5820 Hemodialysis system and accessories.
(a)
Identification. A hemodialysis system and accessories is a device that is used as an artificial kidney system for the treatment of patients with renal failure or toxemic conditions and that consists of an extracorporeal blood system, a conventional dialyzer, a dialysate delivery system, and accessories. Blood from a patient flows through the tubing of the extracorporeal blood system and accessories to the blood compartment of the dialyzer, then returns through further tubing of the extracorporeal blood system to the patient. The dialyzer has two compartments that are separated by a semipermeable membrane. While the blood is in the blood compartment, undesirable substances in the blood pass through the semipermeable membrane into the dialysate in the dialysate compartment. The dialysate delivery system controls and monitors the dialysate circulating through the dialysate compartment of the dialyzer.(1) The extracorporeal blood system and accessories consists of tubing, pumps, pressure monitors, air foam or bubble detectors, and alarms to keep blood moving safely from the blood access device and accessories for hemodialysis (§ 876.5540) to the blood compartment of the dialyzer and back to the patient.
(2) The conventional dialyzer allows a transfer of water and solutes between the blood and the dialysate through the semipermeable membrane. The semipermeable membrane of the conventional dialyzer has a sufficiently low permeability to water that an ultrafiltration controller is not required to prevent excessive loss of water from the patient's blood. This conventional dialyzer does not include hemodialyzers with the disposable inserts (Kiil type) (§ 876.5830) or dialyzers of high permeability (§ 876.5860).
(3) The dialysate delivery system consists of mechanisms that monitor and control the temperature, conductivity, flow rate, and pressure of the dialysate and circulates dialysate through the dialysate compartment of the dialyzer. The dialysate delivery system includes the dialysate concentrate for hemodialysis (liquid or powder) and alarms to indicate abnormal dialysate conditions. This dialysate delivery system does not include the sorbent regenerated dialysate delivery system for hemodialysis (§ 876.5600), the dialysate delivery system of the peritoneal dialysis system and accessories (§ 876.5630), or the controlled dialysate delivery system of the high permeability hemodialysis system § 876.5860).
(4) Remote accessories to the hemodialysis system include the unpowered dialysis chair without a scale, the powered dialysis chair without a scale, the dialyzer holder set, dialysis tie gun and ties, and hemodialysis start/stop tray.
(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (performance standards) for hemodialysis systems and all accessories directly associated with the extracorporeal blood system and the dialysate delivery system.(2) Class I for other accessories of the hemodialysis system remote from the extracorporeal blood system and the dialysate delivery system, such as the unpowered dialysis chair, hemodialysis start/stop tray, dialyzer holder set, and dialysis tie gun and ties. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.
