Intended Use

The 6203 is indicated for use to conserve oxygen for patients prescribed 1 to 6 liters per minute of supplemental oxygen and use nasal cannulas and USP bottled oxygen.
The Wave Conserver Model 6203 is indicated for use to conserve oxygen for patients prescribed 1 to 6 liters per minute of supplemental oxygen and use of a nasal cannula and USP bottled oxygen.

Device Description

The 6203 with integrated pressure regulator is intended to be used as an accessory to an oxygen supply system to reduce or conserve the amount of oxygen used by the patient. The 6203 is a battery operated electronic device that is microprocessor controlled and contains a breath sensor and a normally closed valve. When installed between the oxygen supply and patient's nasal cannula, the device detects the patient's inhalation, opens the valve according to the flow rate set on the device and delivers a preset bolus of oxygen to the patient as determined by the device flow rate algorithm. The valve closes and conserves the oxygen that would have been wasted during the end of inhalation and during exhalation.

AI/ML Overview

This device is an oxygen conserver and its performance is described in terms of its functional capabilities, alarm system, and environmental robustness, rather than diagnostic accuracy. As such, the typical acceptance criteria and study components requested for AI/ML devices (like sample size for test sets, expert ground truth, MRMC studies, or standalone performance) are not applicable or provided in this 510(k) summary.

Here's an analysis based on the provided text, focusing on what is relevant for this type of medical device:

Low power indicator testingBattery LED winks every 2 seconds (3 hours remaining), every 1 second (30 minutes remaining), then lights steady (unit shut down).

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Not Applicable. The submission describes "Extensive functional testing" and testing under "various environmental conditions" for device performance. There is no mention of a human-centric or data-driven "test set" in the context of an AI/ML diagnostic device. The testing appears to be engineering and design validation on the physical device itself.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of those Experts

  • Not Applicable. See point 2. The "ground truth" here is the device's adherence to its design specifications and safety standards, validated through engineering tests, not expert consensus on medical images or patient data.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Not Applicable. See point 2 and 3.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

  • Not Applicable. This is a demand oxygen conserving device, not an AI/ML diagnostic or assistive tool for human readers.

6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

  • Not Applicable. This is a physical electronic device, not a standalone algorithm. Its performance is inherent to its design and function. The device's operation is "algorithm only" in the sense that its microprocessor controls the valve based on its internal programming (e.g., the bolus size chart).

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • The "ground truth" for this device's performance is its engineering specifications and design requirements. This includes:
    • Validated bolus delivery volumes corresponding to specified liter flow settings (Chart 1).
    • Accurate detection of pressure changes indicating inhalation.
    • Reliable alarm activation for apnea/disconnection and microprocessor failure.
    • Durability and resilience to environmental factors (impact, temperature, EMI/ESD).
    • Correct indication of battery status and low power.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Not Applicable. As a hardware device with embedded software (not a machine learning model), there is no concept of a "training set" in the conventional AI/ML sense. The device's software logic is developed based on engineering principles and validated through testing.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

  • Not Applicable. See point 8. The "ground truth" for the device's design would be derived from clinical requirements for oxygen delivery, respiratory physiology, and safety standards for medical devices, which informed the device's engineering specifications.

Intended Use

The 6203 is indicated for use to conserve oxygen for patients prescribed 1 to 6 liters per minute of supplemental oxygen and use nasal cannulas and USP bottled oxygen.

{1}------------------------------------------------

Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence

The 6203 with integrated pressure regulator is intended to be used as an accessory to an oxygen supply system to reduce or conserve the amount of oxygen used by the patient. The 6203 is a battery operated electronic device that is microprocessor controlled and contains a breath sensor and a normally closed valve. When installed between the oxygen supply and patient's nasal cannula, the device detects the patient's inhalation, opens the valve according to the flow rate set on the device and delivers a preset bolus of oxygen to the patient as determined by the device flow rate algorithm. The valve closes and conserves the oxygen that would have been wasted during the end of inhalation and during exhalation.

The 6203 is intended to be used with USP bottled oxygen and nasal cannulas and is installed as shown in the following figure:

Image /page/1/Figure/3 description: This figure shows a diagram of an oxygen conservation device. The diagram includes a nasal cannula, an oxygen conserving device, and an oxygen supply. The figure is labeled as "Figure 1" and includes the number "1" and "23456" in the upper right corner.

The side panel of the 6203 has a selector switch, battery status light and flow fault/apnea light. The battery LED winks every two (2) seconds when about 3 hours remain in the batteries and once every second when about 30 minutes

remain. It then lights steady if batteries can no longer properly power the unit informing the patient that the unit has shut down.

When the selector switch is set to "ON" the device operates as follows:

The sensing diaphragm closes its circuit in response to .5cm negative pressure produced by the user's inhalation effort. This circuit closing is input into the microprocessor. The microprocessor then opens the valve to allow the appropriate bolus of oxygen to flow (based upon the chart that follows) and then waits for the next negative pressure.

Chart 1

Liter Flow SettingBolus Size
1 Ipm15 ml
2 Ipm28 ml
3 Ipm41 ml
4 Ipm55 ml
5 Ipm68 ml
6 lpm81 ml

The 6203 contains an alarm package that is designed to alert the user in the event of disconnection of the cannula or unit malfunction. The 6203 will produce an audible alarm tone to alert the user if it has not detected sufficient negative pressure to close the circuit on the sensing diaphragm within 45 seconds. The 6203 will cause the flow/apnea light to light a steady red if the microprocessor should fail.

The 6203 is substantially equivalent in intended use and principal of operation to other oxygen conserving devices including our own device, the OCD2001 referenced above (K992935 now marketed as the 6200); the Invacare IPD Oxygen Conserving Device (K953852) and the Chad Therapeutics Oxymatic Electronic Oxygen Conserver (K852650). These predicate devices, like the 6203, are electronic products that use a breath sensor and normally closed valve. Additionally, the Invacare IPD Oxygen Conserving Device, like the 6203 opens the valve and delivers the oxygen to the patient on every detected inhalation.

{3}------------------------------------------------

Performance Data

Extensive functional testing of the 6203 has been performed. In addition, testing of the device has been performed under various environmental conditions, including impact/drop testing, storage temperature testing, electromagnetic interference testing, electrostatic discharge testing and surface temperature testing. Power supply testing was also performed; these tests included battery life testing and low power indicator testing. The functional, environmental and power supply testing performed on the device demonstrated that it meets its performance objectives and complies with applicable FDA guidelines.

The electronic components and software design are identical to the Contemporary Products, Inc. predicate device, OCD2001 (6200).
