Intended Use
The AmeriWater MediQA Reverse Osmosis System is one component of a water treatment system designed to pre-treat and purify potable water using reverse osmosis for making dialysate for hemodialysis applications. The device is intended to be a component in a complete water purification system, and is not a complete water treatment system. It must be preceded by pre-treatment devices, and may need to be followed by post-treatment devices as well to meet current AAMI and Federal (U.S.) standards. The AmeriWater MediQA is intended for use in water rooms in a hospital, clinic, or dialysis center. The device includes an integrated heat sanitization process.
Device Story
Reverse osmosis (RO) system for hemodialysis water purification; utilizes high-pressure pump to force potable feed water through RO modules; separates water into permeate (purified) and concentrate (rejected contaminants).

Includes integrated heat sanitization (185-203°F) for membranes and piping, activated manually or via timer. System monitored via touch screen displaying temperature, conductivity, and flow data. Used in hospital/clinic water rooms by trained staff. Provides purified water for dialysate preparation; heat sanitization reduces bacterial content, ensuring compliance with AAMI/Federal standards.
Clinical Evidence
Non-clinical bench testing performed. Verified RO performance and efficacy of heat sanitization in reducing bacterial content. Biocompatibility, software validation, and electrical safety testing conducted. Results indicate device produces water meeting AAMI and Federal standards for hemodialysis.
Technological Characteristics
Reverse osmosis water purification system; single or double-pass configurations. Features high-pressure pumps, RO membranes, and integrated heat sanitization (185-203°F). Touch screen interface for monitoring temperature, conductivity, and flow. Power: 208/230V, 60 Hz, 3-phase. Flow rates: 4.5 to 12.0 gpm. System includes 16-gallon working tank.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use in hospitals, clinics, or dialysis centers as a component of a water treatment system to purify potable water for hemodialysis dialysate production. Must be used with pre-treatment and potentially post-treatment systems to meet AAMI/Federal standards.
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.

NOV 1 3 2013Device Description: Reverse osmosis, the scientific concept used in the AmeriWater MEDIQA Reverse Osmosis System, is the opposite of osmosis. The MEDIQA system uses a pump to apply the pressure required for reverse osmosis. Potable tap water enters the MEDIQA through an inlet solenoid valve filling the feed water tank. A high pressure pump forces water from the feed tank through the RQ modules, each module containing a high performance membrane. The water entering the RO module is split into two flows. The water which passes through the membrane is known as permeate and is purified water. The water rejected by the membrane contains an increased level of dissolved contaminants. It passes out of the RO module as the second flow stream called concentrate, and is sent to drain.
The MEDIQA is available as a single pass or a double pass reverse osmosis (RO) unit. In a double pass (two RO stages) system, permeate from the first stage is pressurized by a second high pressure oump and fed to the second stage RO module set. Permeate from the second stage RO module set is fed via a manifold to the distribution loop. Unused permeate returning from the distribution loop is fed back into the feed tank. The concentrate from the first stage is sent to drain while the concentrate from the second stage is returned to the feed water tank for reprocessing. The feed and permeate water flows are monitored at various points in the process to verify temperature, conductivity, and flow. This data is displayed on a touch screen panel to give instant feedback of water quality and process activity. The MEDIQA system is controlled and operated by a touch screen mounted on the machine.
The AmeriWater MEDIQA Reverse Osmosis System also includes a built in heat sanitization feature to enable a heat sanitization of the reverse osmosis membranes and its pipe work. Heat sanitization can be activated manually using the HEATSAN buttons on the touch screen display or automatically if timer clock settings are implemented. The frequency of heat sanitization will depend upon usage and
{1}------------------------------------------------
application demands. Monitoring of the system for bacterial content should be conducted at regular intervals to determine the optimum frequency for heat sanitization.
Indications for Use: The AmeriWater MediQA Reverse Osmosis System is one component of a water treatment system designed to pre-treat and purify potable water using reverse osmosis for making dialysate for hemodialysis applications. The device is intended to be a component in a complete water purification system, and is not a complete water treatment system. It must be preceded by pre-treatment devices, and may need to be followed by post-treatment devices as well to meet current AAMI and Federal (U.S.) standards. The AmeriWater MediQA is intended for use in water rooms in a hospital, clinic, or dialysis center. The device includes an integrated heat sanitization process.
The MediQA is available in both single pass and double pass models that supply from 4.5 to 12.0 gallons per minute (gpm) of product water. Model MSP1 is a single membrane RO that produces up to 5.0 gpm of product water. Model MSP2 is a single pass, dual-membrane RO that produces up to 9.4 gpm of product water. Model MSP3 is a single pass, 3-membrane RO that produces up to 12.6 gpm of product water. Model MDP1 is a double pass, 2-membrane RO that produces up to 5.0 pm of product water. Model MDP2 is a double pass, 3-membrane RO that produces up to 7.0 gpm of product water. Model MDP3 is a double pass, 4-membrane RO that produces up to 10.0 gpm of product water. Model MDP4 is a double pass, 5-membrane RO that produces up to 12.0 gpm of product water.

Summary of Performance Testing: Non-clinical testing was conducted to verify and validate the performance of the reverse osmosis function and the efficacy of the heat sanitization in the reduction of bacteria. Results of performance testing indicate that the device produces water that meets current AAM and Federal (U.S.) standards. Microbiological testing results show evidence that the heat sanitization function is effective in the reduction of bacteria. Clinical studies show evidence that the device, when used in accordance with the instructions for use, will produce water that meets current AAMI and Federal (U.S.) standards for hemodialysis. Test resuits from biocompatibility testing, software validation, and electrical safety testing indicate that the device is safe and effective for its intended purpose.
