Device Description
Nasal-Aire Criticial Care is ventilator interface accessory intended for use with a CPAP or Bi-Level device to provide noninvasive ventilation in adult patients for the treatment of respiratory insufficiencies or obstructive sleep apnea. This single use disposable interface is intended for hospital settings. Nasal-Aire Critical Care consists of a soft nosepiece with two exhaust ports and two soft nasal cannula for fitting into the nasal openings. Connected on each side of the nosepiece is a length of tubing. The two lengths of tubing are joined at the opposite ends by a "Y"-shaped coupling, forming a loop with the nosepiece at one end and the "Y" coupling at the other. At the base of the "Y" coupling is a port for connection of the Nasal-Aire Critical Care to a positive pressure ventilation device. The Nasal-Aire Critical Care is compatible with any positive pressure ventilator containing a 22mm connection. Nasal-Aire Critical Care will be offered in various sizes designed for a comfortable and compliant fit for a wide variety of nare sizes.
More Information

No
The device description and summary of performance studies focus on the physical components and functional testing of a ventilator interface accessory, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes.
The device is intended to treat respiratory insufficiencies or obstructive sleep apnea, which are medical conditions, classifying it as a therapeutic device.

No

The device is a ventilator interface accessory used to provide noninvasive ventilation, not to diagnose a condition. Its function is to deliver therapy, not to identify or characterize disease.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (soft nosepiece, nasal cannula, tubing, "Y"-shaped coupling, 22mm connection) and its function as a disposable interface, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide noninvasive ventilation for respiratory insufficiencies or obstructive sleep apnea. This is a therapeutic and supportive function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical interface for delivering positive pressure ventilation to the nasal passages. It does not describe any components or processes for analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) to diagnose a condition.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples.
    • Detecting or measuring substances in the body.
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

The device is clearly described as a ventilator interface accessory used for delivering therapy.

Dear Mr. Pelc:

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.

Page 2 - Mr. Pelc

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); 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.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4646. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
