Indications for Use
Mueller Water Conditioning's Water Purification System for Hemodialysis is intended for use in hemodialysis treatment. The System is used to dilute dialysate concentrate to form dialysate and to produce purified water for dialyzer reprocessing, equipment rinse and disinfection. When used as a medical device, Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
Device Story
System treats facility water for hemodialysis; removes organic/inorganic substances and microbial contaminants. Core components: multimedia filtration, water softeners, carbon filtration, reverse osmosis (RO) unit, deionization tanks, UV lamps, and final filtration. Pretreatment (multi-media, softening, carbon, sediment) matches influent water to AAMI standards. Post-treatment (deionization, pumps, flow meters) polishes water. System uses worker-polisher configurations for carbon and deionization tanks. RO unit includes remote alarms for nurses' station. Resistivity monitor on polisher tank provides local/remote alarm at 5 megohms. Final 0.2-micron filters and UV lamps control endotoxins/bacteria. Operated by facility staff under physician direction. Output is purified water meeting AAMI standards for dialysate preparation and equipment reprocessing. Benefits include reliable, cost-effective water treatment for hemodialysis patients.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance data from a test system in Houston, TX, demonstrated that the system produces water meeting or exceeding AAMI standards for various chemical and physical parameters, including sodium, potassium, aluminum, calcium, copper, magnesium, selenium, zinc, chromium, chlorine, chloramine, lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium, beryllium, antimony, thallium, silver, barium, fluoride, nitrate, sulfate, pH, and resistivity.
Technological Characteristics
System components: multimedia filters, water softeners, carbon filters, RO units, deionization tanks, UV lamps, and final filters. Materials are FDA or NSF approved. Piping: PVC Schedule 80. Sensing: resistivity monitor (temperature compensated), flow meters, pressure gauges. Connectivity: local/remote alarms. Sterilization: UV lamps and chemical sanitization. Software: rule-based monitoring/alarms.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use in hemodialysis treatment to produce purified water by removing organic, inorganic, and microbial contaminants. Used to dilute dialysate concentrate and for dialyzer reprocessing, equipment rinse, and disinfection. Prescription use only.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

## Cartridge Filtration
MWCI uses R.O. particulate cartridge filtration of non-cotton construction. Where an its includion ta MWCT uses H.O. panticulate carmoge intration of non octastalled with isolation valves to
be shut down for cartridge replacement, dual filter housings are installed with is of be snut down for carthuge replacement while the R.O. is in operation. MWCl uses 1 or 5 micron cartridge filtration of melt-blown construction.
## Reverse Osmosis
MWCI uses only R.O. units that are registered Medical devices. Modification to the R.O. systems MWCT uses only 11.0. unlis that are regiored modificed by the manufacturer and as delivered by the manufacturer is forbladem aniest processions for external, remote alarms documented.

## Piping
MWCI uses PVC schedule 80 piping and valves for water distribution post-R.O., unless otherwise MWOT ass I VO tonound ou piping and -R.O. piping may include a combination of galvanized, copper, brass and PVC piping and valving.
### Deionization
Unless otherwise directed by the attending physician, MWCI uses mixed-bed deionization tanks in a series, "worker-polisher" configuration. MWCI uses a local 1-megohm quality control light on the "worker" tank, and a temperature compensated resistivity monitor on the "polisher" tank. The the worker tamily and a temporal calibration utilizing NIST traceable calibration equipment as directed by the monitor manufacturer unless otherwise directed by the attending physician. The monitor has a remote alarm capability or is itself installed in the common area (such as the nurses' station) of the unit, with the probe installed immediately after the polishing deionizer. The alarm set point of the resistivity monitor is set to indicate an alarm condition at 5 megohms, unless otherwise directed by the attending physician.
### Final Filtration and U.V. Lamps
MWCI uses 0.2-micron absolute final filters and/or ultrafiltration in all system designs to remove bacterial contamination and control endotoxin levels. MWCI also uses UV lamps in all system designs unless otherwise directed by the attending physician, with the final filters installed downstream of the UV lamps.
