| Device Class | Class 2 |
Intended Use
The RPC Total Chlorine Test Strips are indicated for use in the monitoring of chlorine in water used to prepare dialysate and water used to rinse dialysis equipment.
Device Story
Device consists of reagent-impregnated test strip pad attached to plastic handle. User dips strip into water sample; chemical reagent reacts with Free Chlorine and Chloramines, causing color change. User compares resulting pad color against provided color charts to semi-quantitatively determine chlorine concentration. Used in clinical dialysis settings to monitor water quality for dialysate preparation and verify removal of residual chlorine from equipment after disinfection. Output allows healthcare providers to ensure water safety for dialysis procedures, preventing patient exposure to toxic chlorine levels.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance evaluated using reference solutions between 0 and 10 ppm chlorine. Data confirm color change correlates with reference solution concentrations, demonstrating accurate detection performance below, equal to, and above dialysis thresholds of 0.5 ppm (Free Chlorine) and 0.1 ppm (Total Chlorine/Chloramines).
Technological Characteristics
Semi-quantitative reagent test strip. Pad impregnated with chemicals reacting to Free Chlorine and Chloramines. Colorimetric detection via visual comparison to color charts. Standalone, non-electronic, single-use device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for detection of Free Chlorine and Total Chlorine in water used to prepare dialysate (Free Chlorine and Chloramines) and for testing rinse water following dialysis equipment disinfection (Free Chlorine).
Regulatory Classification
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.
Special Controls
*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.

| Device Trade Name: | Two ranges:<br>Ultra Low Total Chlorine (K100-0118) and<br>E-Z Chek® Sensitive Total Chlorine<br>(K100-0106) Test Strips |
| Common or Usual Name: | Total Chlorine Test Strips |
| Device Classification Name: | Strip, Test, Reagent, Residuals for<br>Dialysate, Disinfectant |
| Product Code: | MSY |
| Class: | II |
| Regulation Number: | 875.5665 |
| Substantial Equivalence: | The RPC Total Chlorine Test Strips are<br>substantially equivalent to the SERIM®<br>HISENSE ULTRA 0.1TM |
| Device Description: | Device is semi-quantitative, reagent test<br>strip comprised of a pad impregnated with<br>chemicals which change color upon contact<br>with Free Chlorine or Chloramines. The<br>pad is attached to a plastic strip for<br>handling. |
| Intended Use: | The RPC Total Chlorine Test Strips are<br>indicated for use in the monitoring of<br>chlorine in water used to prepare dialysate<br>and water used to rinse dialysis equipment. |
| Technological Characteristics: | The Test Strips will detect chlorine<br>concentrations equal to, above and below<br>0.1 ppm for Total Chlorine in water used to<br>prepare dialysate and 0.5 ppm for Free<br>Chlorine in dialysis equipment rinse water.<br>The test strip pad contains a specialized<br>chemical reagent that reacts with Free<br>Chlorine and Chloramines in water. The<br>reaction results in a color change which is<br>correlatable to the concentration of chlorine<br>in the test water |

| Page 2 of 2 | The color change is interpreted by the use<br>of color blocks on two separate (ranges)<br>color charts. Gradations for the Ultra-Low<br>Total Chlorine (K100-0118) color chart<br>include 0 ppm, 0.01 ppm, 0.02 ppm,<br>0.05ppm, 0.1ppm, 0.15ppm, 0.2 ppm.<br>Gradations for the E-Z Chek® Sensitive<br>Total Chlorine (K100-0106) color chart<br>include 0 ppm, 0.1 ppm, 0.5 ppm and 3.0<br>ppm. |
|--------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Performance: | The data confirm the product consistently<br>generates color change which correlates<br>with the color block for the Reference<br>solution concentration. Reference<br>solutions were used to evaluate<br>performance between 0 and 10 ppm<br>Chlorine. These data demonstrate accurate<br>detection performance, below, equal to, and<br>above the dialysis level of 0.5 ppm for Free<br>Chlorine and below, equal to, and above<br>the dialysis level of 0.1 ppm for<br>Chloramines (measured as Total Chlorine).<br>These data demonstrate appropriate<br>performance for use in testing dialysis<br>equipment rinse water and for testing water<br>for dialysate preparation. |
| Conclusion: | The RPC Total Chlorine Test Strips have<br>the same intended use as the predicate<br>device. Both test strips measure total<br>chlorine (free chlorine/chloramines) levels<br>in water. The RPC Total Chlorine Test<br>Strips have no characteristics which raise<br>new types of safety and effectiveness<br>questions. The RPC Total Chlorine Test<br>Strips can be used to monitor the level of<br>total chlorine (free chlorine/chloramines)<br>present in water used for preparation of<br>dialysate. The test strips can also be used to<br>detect residual chlorine levels in rinse<br>water from dialysis equipment after<br>disinfection. |
