The CarbonAid™ gas diffuser is intended for use by cardiovascular surgeons in open heart surgery procedures for the insufflation of carbon dioxide gas into the thoracic cavity to reduce the risk of air embolism.

Device Description

The CarbonAid™ gas diffuser is a disposable surgical device for effective insufflation of carbon dioxide (CO2) into an open surgical wound to create a topical atmosphere of 100% CO2. The larger tube transports the gas from the gas source/humidifier to the surgical wound and has the standard width of medical tubes for this purpose (14 inch). The hydrophobic gas filter (≤0.2µm) prevents cross-contamination between the aas source/humidifier and the wound. The thinner tube contains a stainless steel wire and stabilizes the gas diffuser inside the wound. The gas diffuser is made of medical foam plastic (with open cells, 30 kg/m3) that is connected to the thin tube via a plastic disc

AI/ML Overview

This 510(k) submission for the CarbonAid™ gas diffuser does not contain the detailed acceptance criteria or the study data proving the device meets said criteria as requested.

The document states:

"Sufficient data has been gathered from testing to assess that the CarbonAid gas diffuser performs as clinically intended." This is a general statement and does not provide specific performance data or acceptance criteria.
The primary basis for clearance is substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Pall Medical Laparoshield Conditioned Insufflation Set; K030469), rather than a standalone performance study against pre-defined acceptance criteria. The document highlights that "Technologically, both the new device and the predicate device are the same (i.e. both are intended for the insufflation of carbon dioxide gas. Any differences between the two devices do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness."

Therefore, I cannot populate the table or answer the specific questions about acceptance criteria, study details, sample sizes, expert involvement, or ground truth, as this information is not present in the provided text. The submission relies on establishing equivalence to a previously cleared device.

Image /page/0/Figure/8 description: The image shows a diagram of a ventilation system using CO2. The system includes a CO2 tank, a flowmeter, a humidifier with a humidification agent, and a gas filter. The ventilation gas is connected to the system and flows through the humidifier and gas filter before being released.

Re: K052125 CarbonAid™ Gas Diffuser Regulation Number: 21 CFR 870.1730 Regulation Name: Laparoscopic Insufflator Regulatory Class: Class II (Two) Product Code: HIF Dated: December 25, 2005 Received: January 10, 2006

Dear Dr. Shideman:

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.
