Intended Use
CO2 Monitoring Lines are intended to connect from a CO2 sampling port to the expired gas monitor.
Device Story
Single-use, small-diameter tubing connects CO2 sampling ports on face masks or breathing circuits to external gas monitoring equipment (e.g., capnographs). Device utilizes a pump within the external monitoring equipment to draw expired gas samples through the tubing. Available with or without an integrated hydrophobic filter to prevent moisture transfer to the monitor. Features male/male or male/female luer connections. Used in hospitals and sub-acute institutions by clinicians to facilitate continuous CO2 monitoring. Output is processed by the external monitor to provide respiratory gas data, aiding clinical decision-making regarding patient ventilation and respiratory status.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical testing was required or performed. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including flow resistance, age/environmental testing, and ISO 594-2 luer fitting compliance.
Technological Characteristics
Single-use, small-diameter tubing (PVC) with polycarbonate (PC) luer connectors. Includes optional hydrophobic filter. Dimensions: 3.0mm OD, 1.5mm ID. Connectivity: mechanical luer lock interface to external gas monitors. Non-sterile. Complies with ISO 10993 for biocompatibility and ISO 594-2 for luer fittings.
Indications for Use
Indicated for any patient requiring gas monitoring, regardless of age or gender, in hospital or sub-acute institutional settings.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A carbon dioxide gas analyzer is a device intended to measure the concentration of carbon dioxide in a gas mixture to aid in determining the patient's ventilatory, circulatory, and metabolic status. The device may use techniques such as chemical titration, absorption of infrared radiation, gas chromatography, or mass spectrometry.

Dear Mr. Dryden:
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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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.
{1}------------------------------------------------
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. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

## Device Description:
The Besmed CO2 monitoring line with and without in-line filter is single use, small diameter tubing intended to be connected to a port on a face mask or breathing circuit to allow for gas sampling from a patient's breath by gas sampling equipment. The gas monitoring device will have a pump, which pulls air from inside mask through the monitoring line and into the gas monitoring equipment. The monitoring line is available with or without a hydrophobic filter, which prevents the transfer of water down the monitoring line and into the gas sampling equipment. Lines are available with male/male or male/female luer connections. The patient connectors incorporate a midstream gas sampling port and are made of clear rigid plastic.
## Indications for Use:
CO2 monitoring lines are intended to connect from a CO2 sampling port to the expired gas monitor.
## Patient Population:
There is no specific patient population associated with this device. The clinician makes a decision as to whether to sample expired gases. This is independent of patient population. The predicate, K122075, used the following language for its patient population: "Any patient from which gas monitoring is required."
## Environments of use:
Hospital and Sub-acute Institutions
## Substantial Equivalence Discussion:
Table 5.1 compares the key features of the proposed Besmed CO2 monitoring line with and without in-line filter with the identified predicate and demonstrates that the device can be found to be substantially equivalent. In summary one can conclude that substantial equivalence is met based upon the following:
