Intended Use
The Disposable Pressure Manometer will be used to provide visual indication of a patient's airway pressure during ventilation. It may be attached to the manometer port or proximal port on ventilation devices such as resuscitation bags, hyperinflation bags, CPAP Mask or CPAP Circuits.
Device Story
Disposable pressure manometer provides visual airway pressure monitoring during ventilation. Device connects to manometer or proximal ports on resuscitation bags, hyperinflation bags, CPAP masks, or CPAP circuits. Mechanical design includes flexible nipple for port attachment, polycarbonate housing with printed pressure scale, polycarbonate float, and stainless steel spring. As airway pressure increases, float moves against spring tension to indicate pressure level on scale. Used in hospitals, homes, physician offices, sub-acute institutions, and emergency services. Operated by clinicians or patients/caregivers. Provides real-time visual feedback to monitor ventilation pressure, assisting in safe delivery of respiratory support.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance accuracy verified against predicate device across pressure ranges: +/- 1 cm H2O (0-10 cm H2O), +/- 2 cm H2O (10-40 cm H2O), and +/- 3 cm H2O (> 40 cm H2O).
Technological Characteristics
Mechanical pressure manometer. Materials: Polycarbonate (housing and float), stainless steel (spring). Range: 0-60 cm H2O. Connectivity: None (mechanical attachment). Sterilization: Not specified. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for any patient requiring airway pressure measurement during ventilation. Prescription use only.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An airway pressure monitor is a device used to measure the pressure in a patient's upper airway. The device may include a pressure gauge and an alarm.

Dear Mr. Najjar:
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 (PMA), 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.
