Intended Use

The RespiChamber* Valved Holding Chamber is intended to be used by patients who are under the care or treatment of a licensed health care provider or physician. The device is intended to be used by these patients to administer aerosolized medication from most pressurized Metered Dose Inhalers, prescribed by a physician or health care professional. The intended environments for use include the home, hospitals and clinics.

Device Story

RespiChamber Valved Holding Chamber (VHC) acts as an interface between a pressurized metered dose inhaler (pMDI) and a spontaneously breathing patient. The device consists of a reservoir and a one-way valve system. Upon pMDI actuation, the chamber captures aerosolized medication particles; the one-way valve allows the patient to inhale the medication over several seconds. The design filters out larger aerosol particles that would otherwise deposit in the mouth, throat, or upper airway, while permitting smaller therapeutic particles to reach the lungs. Used in homes, hospitals, and clinics by patients under physician supervision. The device is non-sterile, disposable, and intended for single-patient use.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is supported by non-clinical bench testing performed in accordance with the 1993 FDA/CDRH Guidance for Nebulizers, Metered Dose Inhalers, Spacers and Actuators. Testing measured particle size distribution and fine particle mass (< 4.7 μm) across three drug types to demonstrate performance equivalence to the predicate.

Technological Characteristics

Reservoir and one-way valve system; non-sterile; disposable; single-patient use. Operates via passive inhalation mechanics. No electronic components, software, or energy source.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients under the care of a licensed healthcare provider to administer aerosolized medication from most pressurized metered dose inhalers (pMDIs). Suitable for home, hospital, and clinic use.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A nebulizer is a device intended to spray liquids in aerosol form into gases that are delivered directly to the patient for breathing. Heated, ultrasonic, gas, venturi, and refillable nebulizers are included in this generic type of device.

By means of a one-way valve, medication particles are held in the chamber for several seconds after actuation has occurred enabling inhalation by the patient. The device is designed to minimize delivery of the larger particles of aerosolized medication, which may otherwise lodge in the mouth, throat and upper airway, while allowing the smaller therapeutic particles to be inspired. ### Intended Use The RespiChamber* Valved Holding Chamber is intended to be used by patients who are under the care or treatment of a licensed health care provider or physician. The device is intended to be used by these patients to administer aerosolized medication from most pressurized Metered Dose Inhalers, prescribed {1}------------------------------------------------ # Section 5 -- 510(k) Summary by a physician or health care professional. The intended environments for use include the home, hospitals and clinics. ### Technological Characteristic Comparison to Predicate Device Both the RespiChamber* VHC and the predicate device utilize a reservoir and one-way valve system through which metered dose inhaler medication passes to the patient. While the operating principle is similar, the design of each of the systems is unique. Non-clinical testing of the RespiChamber* VHC and the predicate device demonstrate the differences in product design lead to no new issues of safety or effectiveness. ### Non-Clinical Test Summary Evaluation of the RespiChamber* VHC and the predicate device was performed in accordance with the relevant sections of the CDRH Guidance Document "Reviewers Guidance for Nebulizers, Metered Dose Inhalers, Spacers and Actuators" (FDA/CDRH/ODE/DCRD/ADDB -1993). Particle size distribution testing has been conducted with three drug classification types. The determination of the mass of each drug emitted in the therapeutic range (Fine Particle Mass, μg < 4.7 um) demonstrates that the performance of the RespiChomber* VHC raises no new issues of safety or effectiveness from the legally marketed predicate device. ### Clinical Performance Summary Not applicable, the determination of substantial equivalence is not based on Clinical Performance Data. ### Conclusions from Testing The RespiChamber* VHC has been evaluated against a currently marketed (predicate) device for the determination of substantial equivalency. The RespiChamber* VHC and the predicate device share common indications for use, usage environments, and method of operation. The devices are both single patient use, non-sterile, disposable and are available by prescription. Performance data, gathered in accordance with "Reviewers Guidance for Nebulizers, Metered Dose Inhalers, Spacers and Actuators" (FDA/CDRH/ODE/DCRD/ADDB -1993), demonstrate that the RespiChamber* VHC raises no new issues of safety or effectiveness from the legally marketed predicate device. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the Department of Health & Human Services USA.
