The device description focuses on physical components, UV light, and manual operation for disinfection, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.
Yes
The device is described as a "Peritoneal Dialysis Connector Disinfecting System" intended to "control air and touch contamination while performing a solution exchange dialysis." This directly supports patient treatment (peritoneal dialysis) by preventing infection, thus qualifying it as a therapeutic device.
No
Explanation: The device is intended for disinfecting peritoneal dialysis connectors to control contamination, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components: Firefly™ UV Purification Device, FireflyTM Transfer Catheter, FireflyTM Luer Cover, and FireflyTM 99% IPA bottle. The UV Purification Device is described as a multi-year reusable device powered by batteries.
Based on the provided text, the PuraCath™ Firefly IM Peritoneal Dialysis Connector Disinfecting System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to control air and touch contamination during peritoneal dialysis solution exchange. This is a process related to patient care and preventing infection, not diagnosing a condition or analyzing a sample in vitro.
- Device Description: The device is described as a system for cleaning fluid connections using alcohol, flushing, and UV light. This is a disinfection process applied to medical device components, not a diagnostic test.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on biocompatibility, microbiological efficacy (disinfection), electrical safety, and usability. These are typical tests for medical devices used in patient care, not for IVD devices which would focus on analytical performance (sensitivity, specificity, etc.) for detecting substances or conditions in biological samples.
- Key Metrics: The key metric mentioned is a ">= 4 log reduction in micro-organisms," which is a measure of disinfection effectiveness, not diagnostic accuracy.
- Predicate Devices: The predicate devices listed are also related to peritoneal dialysis and disinfection/connection systems, not IVD devices.
In summary, the PuraCath Firefly system is a medical device designed to prevent infection during peritoneal dialysis by disinfecting connectors. It does not perform any diagnostic testing on biological samples in vitro.

§ 876.5630 Peritoneal dialysis system and accessories.
(a)
Identification. (1) A peritoneal dialysis 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 a peritoneal access device, an administration set for peritoneal dialysis, a source of dialysate, and, in some cases, a water purification mechanism. After the dialysate is instilled into the patient's peritoneal cavity, it is allowed to dwell there so that undesirable substances from the patient's blood pass through the lining membrane of the peritoneal cavity into this dialysate. These substances are then removed when the dialysate is drained from the patient. The peritoneal dialysis system may regulate and monitor the dialysate temperature, volume, and delivery rate together with the time course of each cycle of filling, dwell time, and draining of the peritoneal cavity or manual controls may be used. This generic device includes the semiautomatic and the automatic peritoneal delivery system.(2) The peritoneal access device is a flexible tube that is implanted through the abdominal wall into the peritoneal cavity and that may have attached cuffs to provide anchoring and a skin seal. The device is either a single use peritioneal catheter, intended to remain in the peritoneal cavity for less than 30 days, or a long term peritoneal catheter. Accessories include stylets and trocars to aid in the insertion of the catheter and an obturator to maintain the patency of the surgical fistula in the abdominal wall between treatments.
(3) The disposable administration set for peritoneal dialysis consists of tubing, an optional reservoir bag, and appropriate connectors. It may include a peritoneal dialysate filter to trap and remove contaminating particles.
(4) The source of dialysate may be sterile prepackaged dialysate (for semiautomatic peritoneal dialysate delivery systems or “cycler systems”) or dialysate prepared from dialysate concentrate and sterile purified water (for automatic peritoneal dialysate delivery systems or “reverse osmosis” systems). Prepackaged dialysate intended for use with either of the peritoneal dialysate delivery systems is regulated by FDA as a drug.
(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The following accessories are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9: A catheter finger grip that is non-patient contacting and intended for single use with a peritoneal catheter; a continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) belt; and a catheter stand that does not include weigh scales.

Product Description:
The PuraCath Firefly Peritoneal Dialysis Connector Disinfecting System provides a way for patients to ensure the cleanliness of the fluid connections associated with ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. The system accomplishes cleaning with a combination of alcohol, flushing with sterile dialysate, and ultraviolet (UV) light. The System consists of the components shown below.

Image /page/4/Picture/0 description: The image shows the text "K151620 page 2/4" at the top, followed by a logo for Puracath Medical. The logo features an abstract orange design above the word "PURACATH" in a blue, sans-serif font. Below "PURACATH", the word "MEDICAL" is written in a smaller, gray, sans-serif font.
The Firefly UV Purification Device is a multi-year reusable device which helps to clean the connection between the Firefly Transfer Catheter and the dialysate Y-set (Y-set). The UV Purification Device is powered by off-the-shelf, replaceable AA batteries. The UV Purification Device directs ultraviolet (UV) light through the Transfer Catheter connector. UV Purification Device uses lights and an audible alert to indicate device status.
The Firefly Transfer Catheter is a sterile, 6 month use, disposable device providing communication between the indwelling patient catheter and the Y-set. A proprietary, UV transparent control valve on the end of the Transfer Catheter allows for draining and filling the peritoneum. The control valve is actuated manually, adjustable between fully open and fully closed. The Transfer Catheter also has a flush feature. The flush feature allows for flushing of air and potential contaminants from the Y-set prior to fluid exchange.
The Firefly Luer Cover is a 6 month use, disposable, UV transparent component designed to protect the Transfer Catheter connector between uses and to aid in keeping the control valve closed.
The Firefly IPA Dropper Bottle provides a convenient way to apply 99% IPA solution to the inside of the Y-set and Transfer Catheter connectors.
Indications for Use:
The PuraCath™ Firefly™ Peritoneal Dialysis Connector Disinfecting System is intended for use by PD (peritoneal dialysis) patients as a method of controlling air and touch contamination while performing a solution exchange.
The PuraCath Firefly Peritoneal Dialysis Connector Disinfecting System is comprised of Firefly™ UV Purification Device, Firefly™ Transfer Catheter, Firefly™ Luer Cover, and Firefly™ 99% IPA bottle.
The effectiveness of the PuraCath Firefly Peritoneal Dialysis Connector Disinfecting System was tested in vitro against Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptoccus pneumoniae, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans yielding ≥ 4log reduction in micro-organisms.
The PuraCath Firefly Peritoneal Dialysis Connector Disinfecting System may be used in the home or a healthcare facility.
