Selected passages from the FDA letter
Quoted FDA text from the published dataset. These selected excerpts are not the complete letter.
Passage 1the 1140 Sentry, 2280 Syndicate, 3200 Max, and UV Smart D25 devices are adulterated under section 501(f)(1)(B) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 351(f)(1)(B), because your firm does not have an approved application for premarket approval (PMA) in effect pursuant to section 515(a) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360e(a), or an approved application for an investigational device exemption (IDE) under section 520(g) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360j(g) for the devices as described and marketed.
Passage 2The 1140 Sentry, 2280 Syndicate, 3200 Max, and UV Smart D25 devices are also misbranded under section 502(o) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 352(o), because your firm introduced or delivered for introduction into interstate commerce for commercial distribution these devices without submitting a premarket notification to FDA as required by section 510(k) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360(k), and 21 CFR 807.81.
Passage 3The UV Smart D25 device is further misbranded under section 502(a) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 352(a) because of your misleading references, identified in the quoted statements below, to your firm’s registration. Your brochure for that device references that product’s FDA registration in the context of “use[] to clean non-invasive medical equipment,” which creates an impression of official FDA approval, clearance, authorization, or endorsement or other evaluation of your products that is misleading and constitutes misbranding.
Passage 4the device is not exempt because it is not the type of device that is within the generic category of devices identified under § 880.6992. Generic devices of this type include functional steps that utilize mechanical processes to physically remove contamination from devices followed by a separate disinfection step, which can be either thermal or chemical. However, based on evidence obtained from your website, the UV Smart D25 is described as utilizing UVC to “clean non-invasive medical equipment.” However, we note that the device does not include a mechanical cleaning step, and disinfection is achieved utilizing non-ionizing UV-C radiation, with no mechanical action included.
Passage 5Your materials continue to promote your devices for unapproved medical uses in violation of the Act after you responded to the IHCTOA letter and interactive e-mails indicating that you were going to remove the healthcare use claims for these devices from your webpage.
