Intended Use
The device is to be used by properly trained personnel to deliver emergency, short term, constant flow - pressure cycled ventilatory support.
Device Description
The VAR-Monitor is a battery (9 VDC) operated device that is mounted onto the VAR to monitor cycling conditions during operation.
More Information

None

No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts like image processing, training sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices. The device description focuses on monitoring cycling conditions, which is a standard function for ventilators.

No
The VAR-Monitor is described as a device that "monitors cycling conditions during operation" of another device (the VAR) that delivers ventilatory support. It does not itself deliver therapy.

No
The device monitors cycling conditions during operation of another device (VAR), which is a ventilatory support system. It is not described as identifying or classifying diseases or conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "battery (9 VDC) operated device that is mounted onto the VAR," indicating it is a hardware component, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "deliver emergency, short term, constant flow - pressure cycled ventilatory support." This describes a device used on a patient to provide a medical intervention (ventilation), not a device used to examine specimens from a patient to diagnose or monitor a condition.
  • Device Description: The device "monitors cycling conditions during operation" of a ventilator. This is a monitoring function related to the operation of a life support device, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions.

The device is clearly intended for direct patient care and monitoring of a life support system, which falls outside the scope of In Vitro Diagnostics.

510(k) Summary

  • The VAR with VAR-Monitor provides short term, pressure 14.Clinical cycled, constant flow ventilatory support using either pressure Application control or pressure support. The device is not an ICU stand alone ventilator. Set up and use of the VAR with VAR-Monitor is simple. Set desired flow and adjust pressure dial to obtain desired I-time and/or tidal volume (see tidal volume chart in instructions), and adjust rate dial to obtain desired rate and I to E ratio for the VAR. Power on the VAR-Monitor to monitor the VAR cycling and detect any VAR non-cycling condition. This non-cycling condition will trigger the alarm (audible and visual) to notify attending personnel of an abnormal condition. Possible changing conditions could include but are not limited to: (i) increases or decreases in supply gas flow or no gas flow because tank is empty or has been turned off; (ii) patlent disconnect or airway leak; or (iil) a change in patient All these conditions may cause the VAR to stop condition. cycling or stay in a spontaneous "pressure assisted" mode, waiting for the patient to trigger the next breath.

Dear Mr. Lee:

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.

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) 276-0120. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
