The description focuses on physical filtration and monitoring components (carbon filters, RO, DI, alarms, gauges, conductivity monitor) and does not mention any AI/ML algorithms for control, analysis, or prediction.
No.
The device is a water purification system that processes water for use in hemodialysis. It is not directly used for diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease in a patient.
No
This device is a water purification system designed to treat water for hemodialysis, removing contaminants to meet AAMI standards. It does not diagnose any medical condition or disease.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical water purification system with hardware components such as carbon filters, RO units, DI tanks, pumps, storage tanks, gauges, and monitors. While there is mention of self-monitoring and alarms, this functionality is integrated into the physical system and does not constitute a standalone software-only medical device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The device is intended for purifying water used in hemodialysis treatment. This is a process that prepares water for use in a medical procedure performed on a patient.
- Device Description: The description details a water purification system with filters, reverse osmosis, deionization, storage tanks, pumps, and monitoring equipment. These are all components of a system designed to treat water, not to perform tests on biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
- Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment decisions based on analysis of biological samples.
The device's function is to prepare a necessary input (purified water) for a medical procedure (hemodialysis), not to diagnose or monitor a patient's condition through the analysis of biological samples.

Device Description
The water purification system is a complete system accepting the influent facility water and providing purified water meeting AAMI standards for hemodialysis use. It removes organic, inorganic, and microbial contaminants from the water.
The heart of the system includes carbon filters along with a reverse osmosis (RO) unit and/or portable exchange (PE) mixed-bed (MB) deionization (DI) tanks along with appropriate alarms. This equipment removes the oxidants such as chlorine and chloramines and mineral salts (dissolved solids) from the water. The specific configuration of the equipment will depend upon the customer's water quality desires (specifications) beyond the minimum AAMI standards.
Pretreatment is used before the RO unit to match the specific influent water quality to those needs of the RO unit and/or final water specifications. Pretreatment can include pressure boosting, sediment and colloidal material filtration, water softening, pH balancing and specific element or compound reduction such as iron.
The system usually includes a storage tank that is conical-bottomed and sealed. It has an air-filtered vent, checked over-flow, level switches and sprayer. Repressurizing pump(s) are used to deliver the water to the hemodialysis system.
Deionization is used either to polish the RO water or to remove total dissolved solids (TDS) from the influent water. The latter will occur either in emergency conditions when an RO is being used in the system and it is being by-passed or as an alternative to an RO unit. When PE MB DI tanks are used, two tanks are always used with resistivity indicators/alarms following each one. Then following the tanks are a resin trap, sub-micron filter(s), and optionally a shut-down valve and ultraviolet (UV) disinfection.
The system is self-monitored and alarms are activated when operator attention is needed. Pressure gauges and sample ports are strategically placed throughout the system for system performance monitoring. A conductivity monitor/controller is placed in sight of the nurses' station. Its probe is located at the end of the watertreatment system. Alarms at site and/or remotely located near the nurses' station sound when an alarm condition exists with the RO unit, the water level in the tank drops to a pre-set level, the conductivity at the exit of the watertreatment system exceeds the pre-set level, and if PE MB DI tanks are used, the outlet resistivity falls below the pre-set limit.

(a)
Identification. A water purification system for hemodialysis is a device that is intended for use with a hemodialysis system and that is intended to remove organic and inorganic substances and microbial contaminants from water used to dilute dialysate concentrate to form dialysate. This generic type of device may include a water softener, sediment filter, carbon filter, and water distillation system.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device, when it is a water purification subsystem disinfectant, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.
