Intended Use

The Model 1000 Omni Oxygen System is indicated for the administration of supplemental oxygen. The device is not intended for life support nor does it provide any patient monitoring capabilities.

Device Description

The SeQual Model Number 1000 OMNI Portable Oxygen Concentrator is a 3 Liter per minute (LPM) continuous flow and 6 LPM demand flow oxygen concentrator that is of the pressure swing adsorption (PSA) type. The OMNI Portable Oxygen Concentrator operates from AC power, DC power or rechargeable batteries. This device delivers supplemental oxygen for patients through the molecular sieve beds and is designed to conserve the use of oxygen while operating in a demand flow mode. During the demand flow mode, oxygen is delivered to the patient through a demand flow valve when the start of inhalation is detected. The Model Number 1000, OMNI Portable Oxygen System consists of pneumatic and electrical components. The system has 5 major pneumatic components: inlet filtration, air compressor and heat exchanger, Synthetic Zeolite molecular sieve beds with a distribution valve module, outlet filtration, and flow delivery and measurement components. The electrical system consists of: motor controls, power sources for AC and DC power, rechargeable batteries, sensing systems to measure pressure, temperature, flow and oxygen concentration, and a software controlled user interface. The unit is double insulated and uses a two-conductor power cable. In the event of a malfunction, the unit will activate visual and audio alarms and if, necessary, shut down. Device monitoring circuits are included to measure oxygen concentration, flow rates, battery capacity and internal temperatures.

AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the provided text, focusing on the acceptance criteria and study information:

The document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the SeQual Model 1000 OMNI Portable Oxygen Concentrator. It aims to demonstrate substantial equivalence to previously marketed devices. However, it's important to note that this document does not detail specific acceptance criteria with numerical targets and corresponding measured device performance in a table format, nor does it describe a detailed clinical study with human subjects validating the device against specific ground truth.

Instead, the submission relies on technical specifications, bench testing, and comparison to predicate devices to assert substantial equivalence.

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

  • Sample Size: Not specified. The document refers to "thorough series of testing" and "oxygen concentration testing" using the device itself, not a dataset of patient data.
  • Data Provenance: Not applicable. The testing appears to be primarily laboratory/bench testing of the device's technical specifications and electrical safety, not clinical data from patients.

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

  • Not applicable. Ground truth, in the context of clinical expert consensus for AI/diagnostic devices, is not relevant here as this is a physical medical device (oxygen concentrator) and the testing described is primarily bench testing for functionality and safety, not a diagnostic task.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Not applicable. There is no mention of adjudication, as there isn't a complex diagnostic outcome requiring multiple expert opinions.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

  • No. The document describes technical testing of the device's physical and functional characteristics, not a clinical study involving human readers or comparative effectiveness with or without AI assistance.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

  • Not applicable. This device is an oxygen concentrator, a physical medical device, not an algorithm or AI system. Its performance is inherent to its mechanical and electrical design.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Device Specifications and Industry Standards: The "ground truth" for this type of device and submission is implicitly its own stated technical specifications (e.g., flow rate, oxygen concentration) and adherence to recognized industry standards (ISO 8359, ASTM F1464).

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Not applicable. This device is not an AI/ML model, so there is no "training set."

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

  • Not applicable, as there is no training set.

Predicate Device Equivalence:

SeQual Technologies is claiming substantial equivalence to the SeQual Technologies Model 6400-OM Oxygen Concentrators, 510(k) Number K003472 and the Sim Italia, Travelair Portable Oxygen Concentrator, 510(k) Number K963042.

Description of Device:

The SeQual Model Number 1000 OMNI Portable Oxygen Concentrator is a 3 Liter per minute (LPM) continuous flow and 6 LPM demand flow oxygen concentrator that is of the pressure swing adsorption (PSA) type. The OMNI Portable Oxygen Concentrator operates from AC power, DC power or rechargeable batteries. This device delivers supplemental oxygen for patients through the molecular sieve beds and is designed to conserve the use of oxygen while operating in a demand flow mode. During the demand flow mode, oxygen is delivered to the patient through a demand flow valve when the start of inhalation is detected. This conserving feature is similar to the Sim Italia Travelair.

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

Oxygen Concentrators are prescription devices designed to provide an inexpensive supply of supplemental oxygen without a continuous source of liquid or gaseous purified oxygen. Oxygen concentrators are not life-supporting nor life sustaining devices. An oxygen concentrator is a device that draws in normal ambient room air, filters it and separates the nitrogen from the air under pressure, allowing only oxygen and trace gases to pass through to the oxygen outlet connection to the patient. The nitrogen enriched air is then exhausted back into the room. The air we encounter in nature is a mixture of roughly 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and 1% other trace gases..

The Model Number 1000, OMNI Portable Oxygen System consists of pneumatic and electrical components. The system has 5 major pneumatic components: inlet filtration, air compressor and heat exchanger, Synthetic Zeolite molecular sieve beds with a distribution valve module, outlet filtration, and flow delivery and measurement components. The electrical system consists of: motor controls, power sources for AC and DC power, rechargeable batteries, sensing systems to measure pressure, temperature, flow and oxygen concentration, and a software controlled user interface.

The unit is double insulated and uses a two-conductor power cable. In the event of a malfunction, the unit will activate visual and audio alarms and if, necessary, shut down. Device monitoring circuits are included to measure oxygen concentration, flow rates, battery capacity and internal temperatures.

The major changes to the device have been the reduction in the size of the molecular sieve tanks and the capability to operate on rechargeable batteries.

Intended Use:

Oxygen concentrators are intended to provide supplemental oxygen to persons requiring low flow oxygen therapy. The patient typically receives the oxygen through a nasal cannula. The device delivers flow rates between .5 and 6 liters per minute of oxygen over 90% concentration. It is used at a patients home or for their portable needs outside the home and can also be used in

{2}------------------------------------------------

institutions such as nursing homes or sub-acute care facilities. Oxygen concentrators are not considered life supporting nor life sustaining. The device has no contraindications.

Technological Characteristics:

The Model 1000, OMNI Oxygen System operates comparably to the SeQual Integra concentrators with the addition of a demand flow valve delivery system and with the capability of being operated from various power sources, AC, DC and rechargeable batteries. The technology employed to generate the oxygen is well established, therefore, raises no new questions of safety and effectiveness. The technology has been used in the predicate devices as well as other legally marketed products.

Performance Data:

The results of the oxygen concentration testing and thorough series of testing, ISO 8359 and ASTM F1464 will confirm that the device will meet the specifications and will be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

Conclusion:

Based on the design, performance specifications, testing and intended use, the Model 1000, OMNI Portable Oxygen Concentrator will be substantially equivalent to the currently marketed devices.
