Intended Use
The CirQlator™ Intrathoracic Pressure Regulator is indicated for the temporary decrease in intrathoracic pressure to increase blood circulation, as prescribed by a physician, licensed practitioner, or qualified technician. Recommended duration of use is up to four hours.
Device Description
The CirQlator"M is an intrathoracic pressure regulator intended to interface with the airway of a patient and a ventilation source. A vacuum source is connected to the ITPR that provides continuous low-level vacuum except when a positive pressure breath is given by a ventilation source, e.g. manual resuscitator. The applied vacuum decreases the intrathoracic pressure. When interposed between positive pressure ventilations, a decrease in intrathoracic pressure has been shown to increase vital organ perfusion and decrease intracranial pressure during states of shock, cardiac arrest, and other low blood flow states in animal studies.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical device that regulates pressure based on a ventilation source, with no mention of AI or ML terms, data sets, or performance metrics typically associated with such technologies.

Yes
The device is indicated for therapy (decreasing intrathoracic pressure to increase blood circulation), and is specifically referred to as a "Circulatory Enhancer" by its predicate device.

No
The device description and intended use indicate that the device is for therapeutic purposes (decreasing intrathoracic pressure to increase blood circulation), not for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical device ("intrathoracic pressure regulator intended to interface with the airway of a patient and a ventilation source. A vacuum source is connected..."). It is not solely software.

Based on the provided information, the CirQlator™ Intrathoracic Pressure Regulator is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • CirQlator™ Function: The CirQlator™ is a device that interfaces with a patient's airway and a ventilation source to physically regulate intrathoracic pressure. It directly interacts with the patient's body and respiratory system.
  • No Sample Analysis: The description does not mention the device analyzing any biological samples from the patient. Its function is mechanical and physiological.

Therefore, the CirQlator™ falls under the category of a medical device that is used in vivo (within the living body), not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description:

The CirQlator"M is an intrathoracic pressure regulator intended to interface with the airway of a patient and a ventilation source. A vacuum source is connected to the ITPR that provides continuous low-level vacuum except when a positive pressure breath is given by a ventilation source, e.g. manual resuscitator.

When interposed between positive pressure ventilations, a decrease in intrathoracic pressure has been shown to increase vital organ perfusion and decrease intracranial pressure during states of shock, cardiac arrest, and other low blood flow states in animal studies.

Indications for Use:
Indicated Use -The CirQlator™ Intrathoracic Pressure Regulator is indicated for the temporary
decrease in intrathoracic pressure to increase blood circulation, as prescribed by a
physician, licensed practitioner, or qualified technician. Recommended duration of
use is up to four hours.
Patient Population -The CirQlator™ Intrathoracic Pressure Regulator may benefit people needing
assisted ventilation that suffer from states of poor circulation, low blood pressure,
or insufficient cardiac preload that may be reflected by low blood pressure. The
device is not intended for those patients who would not benefit from an increase in
cardiac preload.
Environment of Use -Hospital, pre-hospital (including EMS)
Contraindications -persons with pneumothorax;
persons with hemothorax:
persons who are hypertensive;
persons with uncontrolled bleeding.

Dear Mr. Dryden:

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.
