Nephros Receives FDA 510(k) Clearance of S100 Point of Use Filter

RIVER EDGE, NJ, April 14, 2016— Nephros, Inc. (OTCQB:NEPH), (the “Company”) a commercial stage medical device company that develops and sells high performance liquid purification ultrafilters and an on-line mid-dilution hemodiafiltration (“HDF”) system for use with a hemodialysis machine for the treatment of patients with end stage renal disease, announced today that it has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to market its S100 Point of Use filter designed to filter Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) quality drinking water to retain waterborne bacteria to assist in infection control.

The S100 ultrafilter is designed to assist hospitals and medical facilities with their efforts to protect patients from water-borne bacteria. Legionella and Pseudomonas are common bacteria that can have a devastating impact on infected patients, particularly those whose immune system is compromised. The S100 Point of Use filter attaches to the end of a sink faucet and is designed to provide up to 3 months of protection.

“In response to customer feedback, the S100 adds an end of faucet product to our infection control portfolio to support hospitals in their efforts to protect patients from water-borne pathogens,” said Daron Evans, President and CEO of Nephros. “With the 510(k) process completed, we intend to fill initial orders for S100 filters this quarter.”
