Intended Use

The nasal CPAP unit is intended for treatment of adult Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). Obstructive sleep apnea is defined as the absence of air movement for ten seconds during sleep. Obstructive sleep apnea is usually diagnosed by a sleep study. The study obtains the optimum level of pressure required to maintain an unobstructed airway, the positive pressure allows the is ve or prosuropen. The nasal CPAP unit is intended only for spontaneously breathing adult patients.

Device Story

SoftAire Nasal CPAP System provides continuous positive airway pressure to treat adult obstructive sleep apnea. Device uses 12 VDC brushless motor driving impeller to generate airflow; air intake passes through filter and muffler. Clinician adjusts therapeutic pressure (4-18 cmH2O) and ramp timer (0-20 min). System connects to patient via 22mm smooth bore tubing and user-selected nasal mask; requires external exhaust port. Operated by clinician or patient; user controls limited to on/off and ramp mode. CPU (4 MHz) manages motor speed and monitors pressure via independent sensor. External 12V power source required. Device maintains airway patency during sleep, potentially reducing apnea events.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Laboratory performance testing verified compliance with device specifications: therapeutic pressure range (4-18 cmH2O), pressure accuracy (±10%), timer functionality, noise level (<38dB), and electrical/environmental safety (EN 60601-1, EN 60601-1-2, IEC 68-2).

Technological Characteristics

Blower-type flow generator; 12 VDC brushless motor; 22mm tubing interface. Adjustable pressure 4-18 cmH2O. CPU-controlled (4 MHz). External 12V power supply. Dimensions: 11x8x4 inches; Weight: 5.2 lb. Standards: EN 60601-1 (Electrical Safety), EN 60601-1-2 (EMI/RFI), IEC 68-2 (Environmental).

Indications for Use

Indicated for spontaneously breathing adult patients diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) via sleep study.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A noncontinuous ventilator (intermittent positive pressure breathing-IPPB) is a device intended to deliver intermittently an aerosol to a patient's lungs or to assist a patient's breathing.

Regulatory Compliance Engineer Bird Products Corporation 1100 Bird Center Drive Palm Springs, CA 92262-6267 760.778.7341 (voice) 760.778.7274 (fax) June 18, 1999 {1}------------------------------------------------ 510(k) Summary for the tem, page 2 of 4 ## General Information . . . Device Trade Name: SoftAire Nasal CPAP System #### Device Common/Classification Name: The SoftAire Nasal CPAP System is Bird Products Corporation ventilator classified under 73 BZD "Non-Continuous Ventilator" - · 868.5905 Non-Continuous Ventilator, 73 BZD | Predicate Device: | ResMed Sullivan III Nasal CPAP System<br>FDA 510(k) No: 930656 | |--------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Year 2000 Compatibility: | The SoftAire Nasal CPAP System does not perform any date<br>calculation or processing and is therefore year-2000 compliant. | ### Device Description The SoftAire Nasal CPAP System is intended to provide continuous positive airway pressure for the care and treatment of individuals suffering from obstructive sleep apnea. The positive pressure is clinician adjustable within the designated operating range and a clinician adjustable timer will allow timed rise to pressure ("Ramp" mode). The user controls will be limited to an on/off switch and option of using the timed pressure rise. This product is designed to be used with a 22 millimeter (smooth bore) tube air delivery system and user selected nasal mask. This mask is not marketed by Bird. Power will be provided by AC to DC adapter s which accommodate a variety of input voltages and frequencies. This adapter will plug into a 12 VDC connector on the side of the unit. Image /page/1/Picture/12 description: The image shows a close-up of a black electrical box with a label on it. The label contains the model number 15682 and serial number KJTC00313. It also includes electrical requirements of 12VDC 2 amps and several warnings and cautions. The label also has several certification logos. Bottom View of SoftAire Nasal CPAP System {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows a close-up of a gas mask. The mask is black and has a boxy shape. Two corrugated tubes extend from the mask, one on each side. The tubes are also black and appear to be made of a flexible material. SoftAire Nasal CPAP System with tube and nasal mask. The SoftAire Nasal CPAP System does not utilize an actively controlled exhalation valve. The patient circuit consists of two essential parts: a large-bore tube from the ventilator to the patient and a required exhaust port. The exhaust is an orifice which may be part of the adapter between the tubing an the patient mask, or may be an orifice which is part of the patient mask. #### Electrical/Pneumatic System Image /page/2/Figure/5 description: This image is a block diagram of a system. The system includes a 100 PPI filter, a muffler, and a 12 VDC blower with a 22 MM outlet. The system also includes a power supply that can accept either 110 VAC or 220 VAC, a connector that is 2.5MM x 5.5MM, an electronic module, a user input, and a temp fuse. Flow to the patient is provided via 12 VDC Brushless Motor driving an impeller. Air intake passes through a filter and muffler into the motor, which operates at a preset speed established by the (clinical) operator. Patient tubing pressure is verified by an independent pressure measurement. An external 12-Volt power source supplies a 5-Volt regulator, which provides power to all interval components. The CPU runs at 4 MHz. There are 5 switches underneath the unit for Mode, Plus, Minus, "Ramp Mode On" and "Ramp Mode Off", {3}------------------------------------------------ #### Comparison to Predicate Device The SoftAire Nasal CPAP System is not significantly different from the predicate device, the ResMed Sullivan III Nasal CPAP, first cleared for market under 510(k) K930656. Both devices utilize Blower type flow generators with the Bird SoftAire Nasal CPAP having a maximum working pressure of 22cmH,O. ---- ### Summary of Performance Testing Performance testing was conducted in the laboratory to confirm operation compliance to the device specifications.
