## Indications for Use

The NxStage Water Purification System is a stand-alone water treatment system designed to pretreat and purify water for use in hemodialysis applications. The purified water can be used in preparation of dialysate, equipment rinsing and disinfection, and dialyzer reprocessing. It is intended to be used in a variety of environments, including acute or chronic care facility or home.

## Device Story

Stand-alone water purification system for hemodialysis applications; used in acute/chronic care facilities or home. Comprised of three main components: pretreatment system (check valve, sediment filter, air vent) for sediment/air removal; Pump Controller unit for flow/pressure/quality monitoring; replaceable resin system for chemical/microbiological contaminant removal. System produces water meeting ANSI/AAMI RD62:2001 standards. Operated by end-user; controller manages system operation and safety. Output is purified water for dialysate preparation, equipment maintenance, and dialyzer reprocessing. Benefits patient by ensuring water quality for hemodialysis therapy.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance testing was conducted to characterize the system and demonstrate compliance with ANSI/AAMI RD62:2001 standards for water treatment equipment in hemodialysis applications. Results confirmed the system is suitable for its labeled indications and equivalent to predicate devices.

## Technological Characteristics

Stand-alone water purification system. Components: check valve, sediment filter, air vent, Pump Controller, and replaceable resin system. Energy source: electrical (Pump Controller). Connectivity: not specified. Sterilization: not specified. Software: embedded control and safety software for flow, pressure, and water quality monitoring. Complies with ANSI/AAMI RD62:2001.

## Regulatory 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.

Dear Mr. Conry:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

{4}------------------------------------------------

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at one of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of this letter:
