Intended Use
The intended use of the Med Systems Electro Flo Percussor Model 5000 is the same as the predicate device, which is to provide airway clearance therapy when external manipulation of the thorax is the physician's choice of treatment. Indications for this form of therapy are described by the American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC) in the Clinical Practices Guidelines for Postural Drainage Therapy (1) (1991). According to AARC guidelines, specific indications for external manipulation of the thorax include evidence or a suggestion of retained secretions, evidence that the patient is having difficulty with the secretion clearance, or presence of atelectasis caused by mucus plugging. In addition, the Med Systems Electro Flo Percussor Model 5000 is also indicated for external manipulation of the thorax to promote airway clearance or improve bronchial drainage for purposes of collecting mucus for diagnostic evaluation.
Device Description
The Model 5000 "Electro Flo" Percussor is just an electrically cycled hammer. It has the exact same function and operation as the Model 2500 "Fluid Flo" percussor that our company has manufactured for hospitals since 10-23-82 under 510(k) number K802399. The "Fluid Flo" percussor is cycled by an oscillating pneumatic valve whereas the "Electro Flo" percussor is cycled electronically.
More Information

No
The device description explicitly states it is an "electrically cycled hammer" with the "exact same function and operation" as a pneumatic predicate device, just with electronic cycling. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any complex data processing or learning capabilities.

Yes.

The device is intended to provide airway clearance therapy to treat conditions like retained secretions, difficulty with secretion clearance, or atelectasis caused by mucus plugging, which are clear therapeutic indications.

Yes

The device aids in collecting mucus for diagnostic evaluation, indicating a role in the diagnostic process.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "electrically cycled hammer" and compares it to a pneumatically cycled percussor, indicating it is a physical device with electrical components, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide airway clearance therapy through external manipulation of the thorax. This is a therapeutic intervention performed on the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as an "electrically cycled hammer" used for percussing the thorax. This is a physical therapy device, not a device designed to analyze biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

While the device is indicated for collecting mucus for diagnostic evaluation, the device itself is the tool for collecting the sample, not the device that performs the diagnostic test on the sample. The diagnostic evaluation would be performed separately using an IVD device or method.

Dear Mr. Kamm:

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.
