Device Description
The UPT Series Medical Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment System and its components consisting of; pretreatment, reverse osmosis, post-treatment, and the product water distribution components, are designed to remove microbiological, organic, and inorganic contaminants from the tap water to supply dialysis machines for the preparation of dialysate solutions for hemodialysis treatments.
Pretreatment components can include a tap water boosting system, blending valve, sediment filtration, carbon removal filters, water softeners, and all the necessary interconnecting plumbing. The purpose of this part of the system is to ensure that properly conditioned water is supplied to the reverse osmosis machine to ensure its safe and trouble-free operation.
After the tap water has been pre-treated, it then enters the R.O. (reverse osmosis), where total dissolved solids are removed to pertinent water quality standards. This is accomplished by utilizing a membrane separation process, whereby the incoming water is separated into a product stream, and a concentrate stream. The molecular weight cut-off determines what and how many contaminants are passed through into the product stream. R.O.s used for this application typically remove 95-99% of all total dissolved solids and bacteria.
The post treatment and product water distribution part of the system is in place to store, provide additional purification if needed, and deliver the purified water to wherever needed. These components can include items such as a storage tank, final filters (for bacteria and endotoxins), and delivery pumps and controls. Some systems can also utilize an ultraviolet light for additional disinfection properties if needed.

Device Description:
The UPT Series Medical Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment System and its components consisting of; pretreatment, reverse osmosis, post-treatment, and the product water distribution components, are designed to remove microbiological, organic, and inorganic contaminants from the tap water to supply dialysis machines for the preparation of dialysate solutions for hemodialysis treatments.

The post treatment and product water distribution part of the system is in place to store, provide additional purification if needed, and deliver the purified water to wherever needed. These components can include items such as a storage tank, final filters (for bacteria and endotoxins), and delivery pumps and controls. Some systems can also utilize an ultraviolet light for additional disinfection properties if needed.
Indications for Use
UPT Series Medical Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment System is intended to be used to remove organic and inorganic contaminants from a tap water supply to dilute a dialysate concentrate for hemodialysis treatments, as well as for use for dialyzer reprocessing and dialysis equipment disinfecting and rinsing.
This System is for multi patient use, such as for a dialysis clinic or hospital serving multiple patients with a Central Water Purification System.
Substantial Equivalence Comparison with the Predicate Devices
Indications for Use are identical to the primary predicate device with the exception of excluding limitations for certain hemodialysis applications that existed in the predicate. These limitations were inadvertently incorporated into the Indications for Use and have now been corrected. No other changes have been made to the Indications for Use. This is a minor change with no impact on the use of the device, and so does not constitute a new intended use.
The technological characteristics between the subject device and both predicates are identical in Regulation Number, Product Code, Pre-Treatment Options, Operational Features, Post-Treatment, and Performance in providing water purification systems for hemodialysis. Hence, there are no changes between the subject device and predicates that would raise different questions of safety or effectiveness.
As set out in section 513(i) of the FD&C Act, a determination of substantial equivalence requires: 1) the same intended use, and 2) either the same technological characteristics or differences in technological characteristics that do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness. Both of these conditions have been met and support a determination of substantial equivalence.
Non-Clinical Performance Data
This modification is to the current UPT Series Medical Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment System (primary predicate), and is specific to clarifying the Indications for Use. No verification or validation performance testing was required for this labeling update and the system remains compliant to its current specifications and requirements.
Conclusion
Inclusive of this labeling update, the UPT Series Medical Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment System continues to meet all of its established acceptance criteria that were based upon performance of the primary predicate device. This demonstrates that the device function is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the primary predicate device. The information provided supports substantial equivalence of the UPT Series Medical Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment System to the predicate devices.
