Intended Use
The Pneupac VR1 range are hand held portable, time cycled, gas powered, flow generator ventilatory resuscitators that are suitable for emergency and transport use and will operate safely in an MRI environment up to 3 Tesla. They are designed for use by qualified medical caregivers, paramedics and other trained personnel for the following conditions: Pneupac VR1 Standard - Ventilatory resuscitator intended for use on adults and children above a bodyweight of 22 lb (10 kg) with either respiratory distress/insufficiency or no respiratory function. Pneupac VR1 Responder Basic ventilatory resuscitator intended for use on adults and children above a bodyweight of 22 lb (10 kg) with no respiratory function.
Device Description
Pneupac VR1 Standard and VR1 Responder is intended for emergency resuscitation by medical personnel, paramedics and ambulance technicians inside and outside hospital and for ventilation by medical personnel inside and outside hospital in emergency situations and for intra- and interhospital transport. The Pneupac VR1 range comprises two variants - Pneupac VR1 (standard model) and Pneupac VR1 Responder (standard model without spontaneous breathing system). The Pneupac VR1 Standard and VR1 Responder allow two modes of ventilation, automatic and manual. In automatic mode the device cycles in accordance with the setting of the single tidal volume/frequency control that changes the tidal volume and frequency dependently whilst maintaining a constant I:E ratio of 1:2. In manual mode, preset breaths, singly or in a controlled breathing pattern may be selected by use of an omni-directional lever or push button. The tidal volume and rate possible are limited by the position of the single tidal volume/frequency control. The Pneupac VR1 Standard and VR1 Responder use the same technology as existing legally marketed devices and depends solely on the pressure of the supply gas for its operation. The Pneupac VR1 Standard and VR1 Responder incorporate a pneumatic high-pressure audible alarm which dumps excess patient pressure according to the in-built relief pressure (40 cmH2O standard, 60cmH20 optional) which operates in an identical manner to the predicate devices. The Pneupac VR1 Standard and VR1 Responder consists of a hand-held control module connected to the patient at its outlet via a mask, endotracheal tube or laryngeal mask airway and is used with various patient circuits and accessories comprising the following items; - User replaceable patient valve - Oxygen input gas hose assemblies - Breathing filter - Biological breathing filter kit (optional for contaminated atmospheres) - Masks, airways and airway adjuncts - Manual suction - Oxygen therapy kits - Oxygen cylinders and regulators - Carrying bag - Breathing circuits - PEEP accessories The specification for the recommended, optional biological breathing filter are as follows; - Filter efficiency at least 99.99% efficient against a 0.3micron mass median aerodynamic diameter aerosol challenge at 32 1/min. - Airflow resistance at 32 1/min. is 10-17 mm H2O - Connector size 40mm DIN NATO compatible threads The mass of Pneupac VRI Standard and VRI Responder resuscitators is; Pneupac VR1 0.880lb. 0.400kg Pneupac VR1 Responder 0.825lb, 0.375kg The Pneupac VR1 Standard and VR1 Responder standard control module has the following features: - Interdependent and continuous control of tidal volume and frequency from 150ml/25bpm to 1050ml/10bpm using a single tidal volume/frequency control - Demand breathing system (not featured on the VRI Responder model) - Spontaneous breathing under power failure - Audible pressure relief alarm - Integrated, user replaceable patient valve - Automatic or Manual mode selector - Manual mode push button and omni-directional lever

No
The device description explicitly states that it "depends solely on the pressure of the supply gas for its operation" and uses "the same technology as existing legally marketed devices." There is no mention of AI, ML, or any computational processing beyond basic pneumatic control.

Yes
The device is described as a "ventilatory resuscitator" intended for use on individuals "with either respiratory distress/insufficiency or no respiratory function," which directly addresses a medical condition to restore function.

No

The device is described as a "ventilatory resuscitator" and its intended use is to provide ventilation for patients with respiratory distress/insufficiency or no respiratory function, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical, hand-held ventilatory resuscitator with various hardware components and accessories, powered by gas pressure. It is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Pneupac VR1 range is a ventilatory resuscitator. Its function is to assist or provide breathing for patients with respiratory issues. It directly interacts with the patient's airway and lungs, not with samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "ventilatory resuscitators" and "ventilation" for patients with respiratory distress or no respiratory function. This is a life-support function, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
  • Device Description: The description details how the device delivers breaths to the patient via a mask, endotracheal tube, or laryngeal mask airway. This further confirms its role in respiratory support.

Therefore, the Pneneupac VR1 range falls under the category of a medical device used for respiratory support, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Alexander:

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 Rezister.

Page 2 -Mr. Alexander

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 (240) 276-0120. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
