What is it indicated for?

The USFilter water purification systems discussed in this premarket notification are intended for use in hemodialysis applications. The water purification systems are used to remove organic and inorganic substances and microbial contaminants from water used to dilute dialysis concentrate and to produce dialysis water and purified water for purposes such as dialyzer reprocessing and final rinse and disinfection.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA 510(k) statement, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
