Intended Use
The intended use of the PLV Continuum ventilator is to provide continuous or intermittent ventilatory support for the care of individuals who require mechanical ventilation. The intended patient population includes pediatric and adult patients who weigh at least 5 kg (11 lbs). The PLV Continuum ventilator is intended for use in home, institutional and portable settings and may be used for invasive as well as non-invasive ventilation.
Device Description
The PLV Continuum ventilator is a microprocessor controlled, compressor-based, mechanical ventilator. It is intended to control or assist breathing by delivering room air to the patient. PLV Continuum utilizes an internal compressor to generate compressed air for delivery to the patient. Breath delivery is controlled by software algorithms.

PLV Continuum is capable of providing the following types of ventilatory support: - Positive Pressure Ventilation, delivered either invasively (via endotracheal or . tracheostomy tube) or non-invasively (via mask or mouthpiece). - Assist/Control. Spontaneous Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (SIMV) or . Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) modes of ventilation. - Volume-Controlled (VC). Available in A/C and SIMV. . - Pressure-Controlled (PC). Available in A/C and SIMV. . - Pressure Support (PS). Available in SIMV and SPONT. ●

No
The description mentions "software algorithms" but does not use terms like AI, ML, deep learning, or neural networks, nor does it describe features typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices (e.g., predictive analytics, automated parameter adjustments based on complex data patterns). The testing described is standard for medical devices and doesn't indicate AI/ML validation.

Yes.
The device provides ventilatory support for individuals requiring mechanical ventilation, which directly treats a medical condition.

No

This device is a ventilator, which provides respiratory support (mechanical ventilation) to patients. It controls or assists breathing by delivering air, but it does not perform diagnostic functions such as identifying diseases or conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "microprocessor controlled, compressor-based, mechanical ventilator" and utilizes an "internal compressor," indicating it is a hardware device with integrated software, not a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, the PLV Continuum ventilator is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device provides "continuous or intermittent ventilatory support for the care of individuals who require mechanical ventilation." This describes a device that directly interacts with the patient's respiratory system to assist breathing.
  • Device Description: The description details a "microprocessor controlled, compressor-based, mechanical ventilator" that "delivers room air to the patient." This further reinforces its function as a life-support device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are designed to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. The PLV Continuum does not perform any such analysis of biological samples.

Therefore, the PLV Continuum ventilator falls under the category of a therapeutic medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

16.2 Intended Use:

The intended use of the PLV Continuum ventilator is to provide continuous or intermittent ventilatory support for the care of individuals who require mechanical ventilation. The intended patient population includes pediatric and adult patients who weigh at least 5 kg (11 lbs). The PLV Continuum ventilator is intended for use in home, institutional and portable settings and may be used for invasive as well as non-invasive ventilation.

PLVC is not intended for use as an emergency transport ventilator. It is not intended for use in the presence of flammable anæsthetics. PLVC is a prescription use device that is intended for sale by or on the order of a physician.

16.3 Technological Characteristics:

Like other continuous ventilators, PLV Continuum utilizes an internal compressor to generate compressed air for delivery to the patient. Breath delivery is controlled by software algorithms that are equivalent to those used on the currently marketed Respironics Esprit ventilator (reference K981072). PLVC does not incorporate any new technological characteristics.

16.4 Determination of Substantial Equivalence:

The modes of ventilation on PLVC are similar to those on other currently marketed continuous ventilators. PLVC has similar performance characteristics to the predicate devices, the same intended use, same environment of use and patient populations. PLVC does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. The PLVC labeling and instructional information, including warning and caution statements, is similar to that of the predicate devices.

16.5 Summary of Performance Testing:

Performance testing was conducted per the applicable sections of ASTM F 1100-90 and F 1246-91. EMC testing was performed per IEC 60601-1-2. Electrical, mechanical and environmental testing was performed in accordance with the FDA Draft Reviewer Guidance for Premarket Notification Submissions (1993). Software validation testing was performed per FDA's Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software contained in Medical Devices (1998). The results of all testing demonstrate that all design and system requirements for the PLV Continuum have been met.

16.6 Conclusion:

The technological characteristics of the PLV Continuum ventilator and the results of the performance testing do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness when compared to the legally marketed predicate devices.

Dear Ms. Funk:

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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such 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.
