Intended Use
Porous Media oxygen concentrator filters are replacement filters intended for use in oxygen concentrator machines to help remove contaminants, including air borne bacteria and other particulate debris from an air stream. When used with oxygen concentrator machines, the replacement filters may be used in the home, nursing home, patient care facility, etc.
Device Description
Room air is drawn into the compressor through the bacterial intake filter. From the compressor, the air passes through the compressor filter, if one is installed on the machine, and proceeds to the sieve beds. The sieve beds condition the air, by removing nitrogen from the air stream, which results in a higher concentration of oxygen. The air then passes through the final filter before being supplied to the patient.
More Information

No
The device description and intended use focus solely on the physical filtration process of an oxygen concentrator. There is no mention of any computational or algorithmic components, let alone AI or ML.

No
The device is a replacement filter for an oxygen concentrator, designed to purify air, not directly treat a medical condition.

No

The device is described as a replacement filter for oxygen concentrators, intended to remove contaminants from the air stream supplied to a patient. Its function is to filter air, not to diagnose a medical condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical filter component used within an oxygen concentrator, not a software application.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to filter air for oxygen concentrators, removing contaminants like bacteria and particulate debris. This is a physical process applied to the air stream, not a test performed on a biological sample (like blood, urine, or tissue) to diagnose a condition or provide information about a physiological state.
  • Device Description: The description details the air filtration process within an oxygen concentrator. It doesn't involve any analysis of biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples.
    • Providing diagnostic information.
    • Measuring biomarkers or analytes.
    • Using reagents or assays.

The device is a component of a medical device (an oxygen concentrator) that provides a therapeutic benefit (oxygen delivery) by improving the quality of the air being supplied. It is not used to diagnose or monitor a patient's condition through in vitro testing.

Substantial Equivalence

Porous Media's devices identified in this submission are substantially equivalent to the filters installed and used in the following oxygen concentrators:

  • . Respironics Millennium (subject to pre-market notification K972614) and Millennium M10 Oxygen Concentrators (subject to pre-market notification K043006).
  • DeVilbiss 303 Series Oxygen Concentrators (subject to pre-market notification K953815), . DeVilbiss 505 Series Oxygen Concentrators (K991722), and DeVilbiss 515 Series Oxygen Concentrators (K991722).
  • . Invacare Platinum Series Oxygen Concentrators (K020386),

The original component filters are approved for sale subject to the pre-market notifications outlined above. In each case the original filter is part of the 510(k) submitted for the oxygen. concentrator, such that, the original devices (oxygen concentrators) are indicated for use as oxygen generators and not filter devices. Because the original filters are not classified as separate devices, the Breathing Filter is included in this submission for the sole purpose of establishing the indications for use as a filter device.

Dear Mr. Lehtonen:

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.

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).
