#### NONCLINICAL AND CLINICAL TEST 807.92(b)
## Electrical Safety
The electrical performance of the DDI Ultrasonic Nebulizer System meets the requirements of the following standards:
IEC 60601: 1988 + A1: 1991 + A2: 1996 EN 60601-1:1990 +A1: 1993 + A2: 1995 +A13: 1996 EN 60 601-1-2:2001
## CONCLUSION
## 807.92(b)(3)
The DDI Ultrasonic Nebulizer System and the predicate devices use a micro pore mesh vibrating at ultrasonic frequencies to produce aerosol. All of the performance parameters of the devices are statistically identical, and do not raise any new safety or efficacy. All devices are similar in:
- Intended Use .
- Materials ●
- Design ●
- Technological Characteristics .
The DDI Ultrasonic Nebulizer System introduces no new questions concerning the safety or effectiveness and is thus substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
