## Indications for Use

The Pure Fluid Delivery System is a dual reservoir system that isolates a dental operatory from municipal or rural water supplies. It can also be used to introduce bottled solutions that are commonly used in dental procedures through the dental unit. The Pure Fluid Delivery System also has a .01 Micron air filter that permits air purging of the dental unit with higher quality air. The operation of the Fluid Delivery System is facilitated by a rotary switch on the control face that permits switching between the contents of the two bottles being used. There is a built-in pressure relief valve that limits pressure in the bottles to 40psi as a safety feature. The control face panel also has a quick disconnect that allows the solutions in the bottle selected to be used in an external dental device.

Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531
