No
The device is a liquid acid concentrate used in hemodialysis. The description focuses on its chemical composition and intended use in a proportioning machine, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
Yes
The device is described as "single-use, non-sterile devices intended for use in hemodialysis therapy for acute and chronic renal failure," which is a therapeutic intervention.
No
The device is an acid concentrate used to prepare dialysate for hemodialysis, which is a treatment for renal failure, not a diagnostic tool.
No
The device description clearly states that the products are "single-use, non-sterile devices" consisting of "electrolytes, dextrose, and an organic acid source," which are physical components, not software.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for preparing dialysate for extracorporeal bicarbonate hemodialysis in patients with renal failure. This is a therapeutic process, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The device is a liquid concentrate containing electrolytes and an organic acid source used to create dialysate. It is used in a hemodialysis machine to facilitate solute exchange with blood. This describes a component of a therapeutic system.
- Lack of Diagnostic Language: The text does not mention any diagnostic purpose, such as analyzing samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing information for diagnosis.
- Focus on Therapy: The entire description revolves around the use of the concentrate in the process of hemodialysis, which is a treatment for renal failure.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition. This device does not fit that description.

Citrasate Liquid Acid Concentrate and NaturaLyte Liquid Acid Concentrate products are singleuse, non-sterile devices intended for use in hemodialysis therapy for acute and chronic renal failure. Both products consist of electrolytes (chloride salts of sodium, magnesium, and potassium), dextrose, and an organic acid source (citric acid in Citrasate and acetic acid in NaturaLyte). Citrasate also contains sodium acetate as a secondary pH adjuster. All formulation components are mixed in a single solution with dialysis quality water and provided to the customer ready for use.
Citrasate Liquid Acid Concentrate and NaturaLyte Liquid Acid Concentrate are each intended to be used as one component in the preparation of dialysate in a 3-stream proportioning hemodialysis machine according to a physician's prescription.

§ 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.

5.3. Legally Marketed Predicate Device
The legally marketed predicate device for the Citrasate Liquid Acid Concentrate is the Citrasate Dialysate Acid Concentrate Liquid cleared under K000792. The legally marketed predicate device for the NaturaLyte Liquid Acid Concentrate is the Dialysol Acid Concentrate Liquid cleared under K981043.
NaturaLyte Liquid Acid Concentrate is currently subject to an open recall (Z-2110-2018). Closure of this recall was requested to FDA on March 14, 2019.
In March 2012, a Class I recall was initiated for FMCRTG acid concentrate products regarding total buffer prescribing information. Concerns arose due to the contribution of acetate in acid concentrates in addition to the prescribed bicarbonate. This contribution was later determined to present a lower patient risk than initially understood. Through a series of Pre-Submission (Q131379) correspondence, FMCRTG and FDA came to an agreement on a final warning statement for acid concentrate labeling in June 2018.
