Intended Use
The intended use of the Happyneb II. Happyneb III. Speedy, Nebby Plus and the Myneb is to spray liquids in aerosol form into gases that are delivered directly to adult or pediatric patients who have been prescribed inhalation therapy or medication. Each of these devices must be used exclusively with their own nebulizer and mouthpiece. The devices Happyneb II, Happyneb III, Speedy, and the Nebby Plus are intended to be used primarily by patients in the home care market, although they may also be used by trained hospital staff personnel as well. The Myneb model is intended to be used only in home health care. The Happyneb II, Happyneb III. Speedy, Nebby Plus and the Myneb are intended for multiple use, are non-sterile and for use with pharmaceutical products which are under physician prescription.
Device Description
The family of 3A Health Care nebulizers include 5 different devices: 4 are AC powered devices (Happyneb II, Happyneb III, Speedy, Nebby Plus) and one model (Myneb) with a DC motor, a rechargeable battery pack and an external charger/power supplier. The 4 AC compressors (Happyneb II, Happyneb III, Speedy, and Nebby Plus) have different plastic housings. There are three different types of electrical motors for AC models and one type for the DC model (Myneb). The 5 models of compressors are designed to use two nebulizers, the Fasterjet and Nebjet.
More Information

No
The summary describes a family of nebulizers that use compressors to aerosolize liquids for inhalation therapy. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The performance metrics are standard for nebulizers and do not suggest the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is described as a nebulizer intended for delivering aerosolized medication for inhalation therapy, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is described as being used to "spray liquids in aerosol form into gases that are delivered directly to adult or pediatric patients who have been prescribed inhalation therapy or medication." It is a nebulizer for administering medication, not for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states that the devices are AC or DC powered compressors with electrical motors and plastic housings, which are hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "spray liquids in aerosol form into gases that are delivered directly to adult or pediatric patients who have been prescribed inhalation therapy or medication." This describes a device used for delivering medication to a patient's respiratory system, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a "compressor" and "nebulizer," which are components of a system for aerosolizing and delivering medication.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) or to provide information about a patient's health status or disease.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not fit that description.

Summary of Performance Studies

The non clinical performance bench tests performed by 3A Health Care Srl, have been executed as requested in "Reviewer guidance for nebulizers, metered dose inhalers, spacers and actuators" issued in October 1993, and demonstrate that 3A Health Care nebulizers have the same effectiveness as their predicate devices because they have equivalent performance parameters (MMAD, GSD, FPF and PFD). Therefore, clinical data are not required.

Dear Ms. O'Connell:

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.

Page 2 -- Ms. O'Connell

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) 276-0115. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
