# 510(k) Summary
# Intended Use
The MDU/Rx™ medical model is an ultraviolet (UV) air purifying device intended for the reduction of bacteria and the MS2 and Phi-X174 virus in air in medical facilities. The MDU/Rx"" medical device is non sterile.
# Product Description
The MDU/Rx" device purifies and sanitizes air by circulating ambient air through a filter into a chamber equipped with two ultraviolet (UV) lights (also called optics) with wavelengths in the range between ~100-285 nm, which encompasses the range of light called UV-C, as described in the general system design in Figure E-1.
Image /page/4/Figure/5 description: This image shows a diagram of an air purification system. The system consists of a filter, fan, oxidizing UV source, and reflector. Contaminated air enters the system through the filter, and purified air exits the system through the reflector. The diagram also shows the flow of air through the system.
Figure E-1 MDU/Rx™ Device General System Design
UV light in this range is commonly called germicidal. The radiation penetrates the cell walls of bacteria and virus and is absorbed by the organic structures within the cell, causing them to decompose and the cell to die.
General product information is provided below in Table E-1.

All three types of devices are self-contained systems with similar quartz UV-C optics and varying types of filters. The systems use integrated fans to circulate air through the filters to remove particulates and sanitize the air by exposure to UV-C radiation, which
{6}------------------------------------------------
kills airborne microorqanisms. They have similar active components, design features and intended uses. They do not incorporate any other sanitizing components such as catalysts or electrical discharge. The use of filters in the MDU/Rx™ device is primarily for the purpose of keeping the optic surfaces clean and is not intended as a means of sanitizing air.
The MDU/Rx", RXAir 3000 and Eco RX-400 systems have the same intended use as described in Table E2. They are ultraviolet (UV) air purifying devices intended for the reduction of bacteria and specific virus in air in medical facilities. The devices are nonsterile. The construction of the devices is essentially the same in that they all circulate air through metal or plastic cases in which utilize UV-C lights (also called optics). As the air passes through the photolysis chamber and is exposed to the UV-C light, the microorganisms absorb the radiation and are killed. 1 They differ in the types of filters that are used, as described.
The RXAir 3000 uses a single "germicidal" UV-C lamp to sanitize and a five-stage filter to remove particulates, volatile organic compounds and bacteria. The ECO Rx 400 uses three UV-C lamps (also called optics) to sanitize and has a filter to remove particulates.

In summary, the available information for the predicates and data from HGI indicate that all three devices generate UV-C radiation using quartz optics. The radiation is directly absorbed by the bacteria and virus in air as they pass through the photolysis chamber. The microorganisms die as a result of radiation damage to the DNA and other organic structures within the organisms' cell wall. UV-C radiation also reacts with oxygen and water vapor in air to generate very low concentrations of hydroxyl radicals in the range of 0.1 parts per trillion to one part per billion. Hydroxyl radicals can react with the lipids and proteins in the cell walls of microorganisms (including bacteria and virus) within the radiation chamber and kills them, contributing to the sanitization process. Both mechanisms occur concurrently.
# Performance
The MDU/Rx™ model is designed to treat areas of approximately 130 to 500 square feet that would have 8 to 10 foot ceilings (~1300 to 5,000 cubic feet of space). The system is operated by the use of an on-off switch which activates both optics and the fan. The fan is set at a fixed speed of ~150 cubic feet per minute. When in use, an indicator light on the outside of the case is lit. The recommended mode of action is to have the unit running continuously. Larger spaces require the use of longer treatment times and/or multiple machines. The unit recirculates ambient air continuously through the UV-C photolysis chamber, where it is sanitized. Operational use guidelines are provided to users in the form of an Owner's Manual and advise that the MDU/Rx™ model is intended for use in ventilated spaces of four or more exchange rates per hour. The length of time required to reach optimal sanitization varies as a function of the volume of space being treated, and the dynamics of what occurs within the treatment space including:
- Initial load of microorganisms
- Degree of contamination being introduced by patient activities, treatment etc. ●
- Movement of personnel/patients within the space
- Rates of ventilation .
The device is intended to result in high kill rates of 4-5 log reduction of airborne bacteria and the MS2 and Phi-X174 virus of initial concentrations of 6 log 8 -10 CFU/cu ft. of air and is not intended to create a sterile environment.
The system uses commercially available 48 watt quartz optics as UV-C radiation sources. The 48 watt optic produces 10 watts of light at ~254 nm (at 100 hours of use). There is an indicator light to show that both optics are on and are functioning properly.
{8}------------------------------------------------
The fan speed is not critical to the operation of the system. Generally, operating the fan at ~ 150 cfm results in slightly faster elimination of bacteria and virus than higher fan speeds as the ambient air has increased residence time within the photolysis chamber. The device uses a washable polyester filter to remove particulates greater than 8 microns. The purpose of the filter is primarily to keep the optics clean. Placement of the units is not critical to performance. In general the unit is best placed near a wall at an angle so as to create a vortex around the room to be treated.
Intertek tested the MDU™ model (identical to the proposed MDU/Rx™ model) for compliance with the safety Standards listed below:
- Electrical safety fans, ventilators using Standards 1 and 2 ●
- Safety for Luminaires using Standard 3 .
- UV Safety using Standards 4 and 5 ●
- 1. Standard for Safety for Electric Fans, UL 507-9" Edition, Dated 12/13/1000, with revisions through And including September 27, 2007.
- 2. Standard for Fans and Ventilators, CSA C22.2 No. 113-10. General Instruction NO 1-7. Dated March 2. 2010.
- 3. Standard for Safety Luminaires UL 1598, 304 Edition, 9/17/2008 with revisions through and including 2/20/2009
- 4. UL Standard for Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control and Laboratory use; Part 1: General requirements, UL 61010-1, 200 Edition, dated 07/12/04 with revisions through and including 07/22/05
- 5. Canadian Standards Association C22.2 No. 250, 0-04, 200 Edition, Dated 12/30/04 with revisions through and including 05/31/06
The Intertek report concluded that "…the MDU™ product covered by this report has been evaluated and found to comply with the applicable requirements" of the Standards referenced above." Based on the Intertek report, the MDU™ unit is ETL Listed (UL 507 and CSA C22.2).
Ozone and organic oxidation by-products are formed as a result of the irradiation of ambient water vapor and oxygen in air by UV-C radiation with a range of wavelengths between ~100-285 nm. Columbia Analytical Services (Simi Valley, CA) evaluated the MDU™ device (identical to the proposed MDU/Rx™ device) for the purpose of measuring the types and concentrations of orqanic oxidation by-products and ozone in a 1296 cubic foot test space and a 3656 cubic foot test space. Air samples were taken in hourly intervals for up to fifteen hours. In summary, the data indicated that:
- No carbon monoxide was detected above baseline levels
- Formaldehyde, acetaldehyde and other target aldehydes remained at or ● marqinally above background concentrations
- . No significant concentrations of oxidized volatile organic compounds (VOC) were formed
- . Ozone reached a steady state concentration of ~19 ppb in the smaller chamber and ~14 ppb in the larger chamber. The highest oxidant levels resulted from
{9}------------------------------------------------
using both optics with the fan at the low setting. These are the settings used by the MDU/Rx™ device.
Additional ozone measurement were conducted by HGI in a range of typical, normally ventilated treatment areas (3-6 exchange rates per hour) representative of those found in medical facilities. Measurements were also made without ventilation. The spaces ranged from ~1190 to 4102 cubic feet (~130 sf to ~450 sf with 8-9 foot ceilings). Testing times varied from 3 to 24 hours. Ozone (total oxidant) levels remained below 50 ppb for all tests.
# Mode of Action
The primary mode of action for the MDU/Rx™ unit and its predicates is to sanitize air as it passes through the photolysis chamber by direct exposure to UV radiation with wavelengths between ~100-285 nm. The primary bactericidal mode of action of UV-C radiation results from the penetration of radiation into the interior of the cell where it is absorbed by key biochemicals. The UV radiation damages the RNA, DNA and other organic moieties within the cell preventing cell replication and causing cell death.
A secondary mode of action results from the formation of hydroxyl radicals within the photolysis chamber by the action of UV-C radiation with oxygen and water vapor in ambient air. The hydroxyl radicals react rapidly (within a second) with the lipids and proteins on the surface of the cells, causing the contents of the cell to leak and the cell to die.
# MDU/Rx™ Device Effectiveness as an Air Sanitizer
The efficacy of the MDU/Rx™ device as an air sanitizer was determined by measuring the kill rates of selected aerosolized bacteria and virus. Studies of the kill rates of the following aerosolized microorganisms by the MDU/Rx™ unit were done for HGI by Aerosol Research and Engineering Laboratories (ARE, Overland Park, Kansas). The testing was conducted in a 563 cubic foot sterile stainless steel test clean-room chamber into which specified concentrations of aerosolized bacteria and virus were introduced.
- . Staphylococcus epidermidis – a gram positive bacterium used as an index orqanism for Staphylococcus aureus: considered as representative of its class
- . Erwinia herbicola – a gram neqative bacterium used as an index organism for Escherichia coli: considered as representative of its class
(Note: E. coli was tried but it proved too fragile to remain viable in an aerosol long enough to establish a stable baseline.)
- . MS2 virus – a bacteriophage that infects E.coli that is used as a surrogate for mammalian influenza
- . Phi-X174 virus – a DNA based bacteriophage that infects E.coli that is used as a surrogate model for HIV. HCV
Controls were run to establish a stable baseline of aerosolized microorganisms. Kill rates were measured in triplicate at regular intervals by sampling air from the chamber
{10}------------------------------------------------
until a 4-5 log reduction in viable organism was measured. The MDU/Rx™ resulted in a 4 log or greater kill rate for all organisms tested within two hours.
# Conclusion:
The performance testing demonstrates that the MDU/Rx™ medical device is substantially equivalent to the FDA approved claimed predicate devices, the RxAir 3000 and the ECO RX-400.
