No
The device description details a time-cycled ventilator with fixed parameters and basic pressure-based safety features. There is no mention of adaptive learning, pattern recognition, or any other characteristics typically associated with AI/ML. The performance studies focus on equivalence to a predicate device based on standard ventilator testing, not AI/ML performance metrics.
Yes
The device is a ventilator intended to provide ventilatory support during CPR or for acute respiratory failure, which are conditions requiring therapeutic intervention.
No
The device description indicates that the SAVe is a ventilator providing ventilatory support, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description explicitly lists numerous hardware components including an internal pump (blower), battery, circuit board, manifold, enclosures, ports, charger, patient circuit, and tubing.
Based on the provided text, the SAVe device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- SAVe's Function: The SAVe is a ventilator. Its function is to provide mechanical ventilatory support to patients by delivering air to their lungs. It does not perform any tests on bodily samples.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for providing ventilatory support during CPR or acute respiratory failure. This is a direct treatment/support function, not a diagnostic function.
Therefore, the SAVe device falls under the category of a therapeutic or life-support medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The SAVe is intended for use on adults that need ventilatory support. Specifically, the SAVe is intended to provide short term ventilatory support for individuals during CPR or when positive-pressure ventilation is required to manage acute respiratory failure. The SAVe device is appropriate for individuals that weigh at least 45 kilograms. It is intended to be used in field hospitals, transport and pre-hospital environments.

Device Description
The SAVe is a time cycled ventilator that delivers a set tidal volume. If, at any point, an upper threshold pressure is reached, the device immediately triggers the exhale mode.
The SAVe consists of an internal pump (blower), rechargeable sealed lead acid battery, circuit board, manifold, face plate, EMI shielded upper and lower enclosure, air intake port with debris filter, patient port, pressure port, supplemental air / oxygen port, electric port for recharging and / or running, charger / power supply, patient circuit, pressure tubing, oxygen tubing and an activation switch.
The device has audio and visual alarms that trigger for low pressure, disconnect, blockage, low battery, high temperature or internal failure. The device not only alarms for stacked breaths but also cuts off the pump until adequate pressure has been released before triggering the next breath.
The SAVe comes in three distinct models. Each has a set tidal volume and respiratory rate. Model 550x10 delivers 550 mL of air 10 times per minute. Model 600x10 delivers 600 mL of air 10 times per minute and Model 600x12 delivers 600 mL of air 12 times per minute.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The SAVe was thoroughly tested as per all applicable parts of the FDA's Draft Reviewer Guidance for Ventilators dated July 1995. Its performance vis-à-vis the Impact Uni-Vent 754 showed substantial equivalence to the predicate device. The results of that test can be found in Appendix I. In addition to the bench tests performed, external tests were conducted by third parties to see if the SAVe met various standards for electromagnetic compatibility and air quality. In all instances, the SAVe functioned as intended and all observed results were as expected.

In all instances, the SAVe functioned as intended and all observed results were as expected.
Substantial Equivalence
The SAVe has a fixed tidal volume and respiratory rate that are a subset of the capabilities of the Uni-Vent 754. At these settings, the SAVe is as safe and effective as the Uni-Vent 754. The SAVe's intended use and indications for use are also a subset of the predicate device. Both devices use similar technological characteristics and principles of operation. The minor technological differences between the SAVe and its predicate device raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness. Bench generated performance data demonstrate that the SAVe is as safe and effective as the Uni-Vent 754 at the prescribed settings. Thus, the SAVe is substantially equivalent to the Uni-Vent 754.

Dear Mr. Evans:
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.
