No
The device description clearly outlines a chemical concentrate provided in dry form, intended to be mixed with water and used in a hemodialysis machine. This involves physical components (chemicals, packaging) and a chemical process, not solely software.
Based on the provided text, the Di-Chem, Inc. Citryte Acid Concentrate for bicarbonate dialysis is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the treatment of acute and chronic hemodialysis. This is a therapeutic treatment applied directly to the patient's blood, not a test performed on a sample outside the body to diagnose or monitor a condition.
- Device Description: The device is a chemical concentrate that is mixed with water and sodium bicarbonate to create a hemodialysis solution. This solution is then used in a hemodialysis machine to filter the patient's blood. The process involves the direct interaction of the solution with the patient's blood through a semi-permeable membrane, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.
- Mechanism of Action: The description clearly explains how the solution establishes a concentration gradient to remove waste products and toxins from the patient's blood. This is a physical and chemical process for therapeutic purposes, not a method for detecting or measuring substances in a sample for diagnostic purposes.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing a biological sample (blood, urine, etc.) outside the body.
- Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Using reagents or assays to detect specific analytes.
In summary, the Di-Chem, Inc. Citryte Acid Concentrate is a component used in a therapeutic process (hemodialysis) to treat patients with renal failure. It does not perform any diagnostic function.

Device Description
The Di-Chem, Inc. proposed Citryte hemodialysis acid concentrate is provided in dry form and is for use in sodium bicarbonate dialysis. Citryte is comprised of sodium chloride (100.0mEq/L), potassium chloride (1.0-3.0mEq/L), calcium chloride (2.0-3.0mEq/L), magnesium chloride ( 1.0 mEq/L), dextrose ( 100 mg%), and citric acid (2.4mEq/L). All of the chemical constituents meet USP grade or equivalent. The proposed device will be manufactured, tested and labeled in accordance to ANSI/AAMI 13958:2014 guidelines. Each of the proposed formulations will be offered in three different mix volumes, 16.5 gallon, 20 gallon and 25 gallon to meet the three mix volume sizes of the current commercially available hemodialysis mixing machines. Each case of product contains the measured amount of each chemical component corresponding to the labeled product formula and listed final solution volume. The product packaging consists of two equal weight bags of sodium chloride, one bag of dextrose and one bag containing the citric acid, potassium chloride, calcium chloride and magnesium chloride. Each product bag is labeled indicating its contents, lot number, use by date, and product formula. The product bags are comprised of polyethylene and are 18"x24"x0.004". The four bags are then packaged into one corrugate box. Each box will contain all of the chemical components to make one of the three available volumes of the labeled formulation. The product is intended to be mixed into solution using water meeting or exceeding ANSI/AAMI Hemodialysis Water Quality Standards utilizing commercially available hemodialysis concentrate mixers in accordance with the mixer manufacturer's directions. These chemicals when in solution are intended to be used as the acid portion of a three part hemodialysis treatment in conventional commercially available hemodialysis machines or monitors in providing a hemodialysis treatment. The hemodialysis formulations presented in this 510(k) notification are intended to be used in a three-stream hemodialysis machine in which an acid concentrate (Citryte) is proportioned into one stream, a sodium bicarbonate concentrate solution is proportioned into another stream and a specified volume of water is proportioned into the remaining stream of the hemodialysis machines proportioning system. These three streams are then mixed by the hemodialysis machine to prepare a final proportioned hemodialysis solution. These proportioned hemodialysis solutions are then heated to body temperature and pumped through the hemodialysis compartment of a hemodialyzer (artificial kidney). These hemodialysis solutions are separated from the patient's blood by a semi-permeable cellulosic or non-cellulosic membrane which functions as a molecular weight selective barrier to the passage of molecules above a certain molecular weight. The semi-permeable membrane in the hemodialyzer permits the passage of both ionized and non-ionized molecules, waste products and toxins including blood urea, nitrogen, creatinine and potassium contained in the patient's blood circulating through the hemodialyzer to pass through the semi-permeable membrane into the hemodialysis solution then circulating back to the hemodialysis machine where the solution is ultimately discarded. The ionic and molecular composition of the hemodialysis solution establishes the concentration gradient between the patient's blood and the hemodialysis solution passing through the hemodialyzer which permits the effective removal of waste products and toxins found in excess in the patient's blood during acute and end-stage renal failure. Since different patients have different requirements for the removal rates and quantities of the various molecules and toxins in acute and end-stage renal failure it is necessary to have a variety of different hemodialysis solution formulations to satisfy the needs of all renal failure patients. For this reason the Citryte is offered in multiple formulations containing varying amounts of potassium chloride and calcium chloride.

§ 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.

The Di-Chem Inc. Hemo-Lyte Sodium Bicarbonate for hemodialysis is being included as a reference predicate device because it is the other necessary component required to perform a hemodialysis treatment and shares the identical product packaging material in both size and polyethylene material and is sourced from the same suppliers as the proposed Citryte device.
SUMMARY OF NON-CLINICAL TESTS:
In vitro testing was performed to verify the chemical composition of the proposed device was identical to that of the predicate devices and within the ranges set forth by ANSI/AAMI 13958:2014. Testing was performed in accordance with
7
our standard operating procedures utilizing validated equipment and analytical methods. The results of the testing met the requirements of ANSI/AAMI 13958:2014 (Concentrates for Hemodialysis and Related Therapies) which specifies that all electrolytes identified on the device label shall be present within ±5% or ±0.1mEg/L and glucose within ±5% or ±0.05g/L (expressed as dialysis fluid concentrations), whichever is greater of the stated concentration, with the exception of sodium, which shall be present within ±2.5% of the labeled concentration. The results of these tests confirmed the proposed Citryte device met the listed range requirements stated in ANSI/AAMI 13958:2014 and is chemically equivalent to the predicate devices for all the listed chemical formulations.
CLINICAL TEST RESULTS:
Clinical testing was not performed.
SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE:
(PRIMARY PREDICATE DEVICES)
The proposed Di-Chem Citryte device is manufactured utilizing the same chemicals, formula composition ranges, packaging materials and intended use as the Rockwell Medical CitraPure and Diasol Citrisol primary predicate devices.
(REFERENCE PREDICATE DEVICE DRYalvsate)
The proposed Di-Chem Citryte device is manufactured utilizing the same chemicals, formulation composition ranges, packaging materials and intended use as the Advanced Renal Technologies DRYalysate reference predicate devices with the only difference being the proposed Citryte device does not contain the 0.3mEq/L of sodium acetate that the DRYalysate reference predicate device does.
(REFERENCE PREDICATE DEVICE Hemo-Lyte Sodium Bicarbonate)
Sodium bicarbonate is the other necessary chemical component required to perform a hemodialysis dialysis treatment. The Hemo-Lyte sodium bicarbonate is manufactured in the same facility and uses the exact same polyethylene bag packaging material in the exact same size from the exact same suppliers as the proposed Citryte device.
CONCLUSIONS:
Comparing the proposed Citryte acid concentrate device to the predicate devices shows they are substantially equivalent in intended use, chemical composition, chemical formulations, packaging materials and device labeling.
