Intended Use
The ConchaTherm® Neptune™ is a respiratory humidifier designed to heat and humidify respiratory gases delivered via endotracheal tubes, nasal cannula or face masks to adult, pediatric, infant and neonatal patients. This system may be used with either conventional (non-heated wire) breathing circuits or compatible (21-volt) Hudson Respiratory Care Incorporated (RCI) heated-wire circuits. The ConchaTherm® Neptune™ can be used with ventilators, continuous flow systems, oxygen diluters and blenders, adjustable nebulizer adapters for aerosol therapy, or non-flammable anesthesia gases to help maintain patient body temperature.
Device Description
The ConchaTherm® Neptune™ is designed to provide heat and moisture to the medical gases delivered to a patient via continuous flow, invasive ventilation or non-invasive ventilation. The ConchaTherm® Neptune™ heated humidifier is the main component of the Teleflex Medical ConchaTerm Humidification system, which allow gas to be delivered to a patient using various interfaces. The ConchaTherm® Neptune™ heated humidification system consists of the ConchaTherm® Neptune™ heated humidifier, the CONCHA-COLUMN® humidifier cartridge, CONCHA sterile water reservoir, a Hudson RCI dual temperature probe, and either a non-heated wire breathing circuit or a Hudson RCI 21-volt heated-wire breathing circuit. The servo-controlled heated humidifier continuously monitors the proximal airway temperature and regulates the heat supplied to the column by the heating element, and if used, the heated-wire circuit.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on servo-controlled heating and humidification based on temperature monitoring, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for control or analysis.

Yes
The device is a respiratory humidifier designed to heat and humidify respiratory gases and maintain patient body temperature, which directly contributes to a patient's therapeutic care.

No

The device is described as a respiratory humidifier designed to heat and humidify respiratory gases, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one. It helps maintain patient body temperature and delivers gases, but does not identify or analyze a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including a heated humidifier, humidifier cartridge, water reservoir, temperature probe, and breathing circuits.

Based on the provided text, the ConchaTherm® Neptune™ is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is a "respiratory humidifier designed to heat and humidify respiratory gases delivered via endotracheal tubes, nasal cannula or face masks to adult, pediatric, infant and neonatal patients." This describes a device that directly interacts with the patient's respiratory system to modify the inhaled gas, not a device used to examine specimens derived from the human body for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the mechanical and electrical components that facilitate heating and humidifying gases for delivery to the patient. It does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions
    • Using reagents or assays

The device's function is to prepare gases for inhalation, which is a therapeutic or supportive function, not a diagnostic one.

Dear Ms. Landon:

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.

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 (OS) 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.
