More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the physical mechanism of humidification (Capillary Force Vaporization) and performance testing against standards and predicate devices, with no mention of AI or ML terms or functionalities.

No.
The device warms and adds moisture to breathing gases but does not directly treat or diagnose a medical condition.

No
This device is a respiratory gas humidifier, which adds warmth and moisture to breathing gases. Its function is therapeutic, not diagnostic, as it does not gather or analyze data about the patient's health condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Respiratory Gas Humidifier" which is a hardware device that provides heated evaporated water content.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "warm and add moisture to breathing gases for administration to infant, pediatric, and adult patients." This describes a device used on a patient to modify the air they breathe, not a device used to test samples from a patient (which is the core function of an IVD).
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a "Respiratory Gas Humidifier" that provides heated and humidified gas to the patient via a nasal cannula. This aligns with a therapeutic or supportive respiratory device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description 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

Therefore, the PARI Hydrate G falls under the category of a respiratory therapy device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies

Non-Clinical Test Summary: PARI Hydrate G was tested to compare performance to the predicate devices and ISO 8185, using a gravimetric test standard for humidifier output across the range of flows. The subject device is comparable to the predicates.
Clinical Performance Summary: Clinical testing was not completed/is not required to show substantial equivalence.
Conclusions from Testing: PARI Hydrate G meets performance requirements and raises no new issues of safety or effectiveness.

Device Description

The Hydrate G is a Respiratory Gas Humidifier which provides heated evaporated water content to dry breathing gases using Capillary Force Vaporization technology. A nasal cannula is used to deliver the heated and humidified gas to the patient.

Indications For Use

The PARI Hydrate G is designed to warm and add moisture to breathing gases for administration to infant, pediatric, and adult patients. The Hydrate G is intended for use in homes, hospitals, and sub-acute institutions.

Technological Characteristics Compared to Predicate Device

PARI Hydrate G, AquinOx P50000 and Vapotherm 2000i are all Active High Flow Gas Humidification systems, used to add moisture and warmth to breathing gases for administration to patients.

PARI Hydrate G employs similar materials, similar air, water, and power inputs, and delivers similar outputs compared to the predicate devices. The Capillary Force Vaporization technology, although slightly different than the heated plate and vapor/membrane transpiration concepts used by the predicates, uses a heater to draw liquid through a porous medium resulting in comparable humidification output to the predicate devices.

Non-Clinical Test Summary

PARI Hydrate G was tested to compare performance to the predicate devices and ISO 8185, using a gravimetric test standard for humidifier output across the range of flows. The subject device is comparable to the predicates.

Clinical Performance Summary

Clinical testing was not completed/is not required to show substantial equivalence.

Conclusions from Testing

PARI Hydrate G meets performance requirements and raises no new issues of safety or effectiveness.

Dear Mr. Devine:

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.
