Intended Use
The Neb-90™ Large Volume Medication Nebulizer is indicated for the continuous aerosol administration of respiratory medication (inhalable solution) including, but not necessarily limited to, beta adrenergic bronchodilator (albuterol sulfate) and/or a wetting agent such as sodium chloride solution (saline) that is used for the treatment of respiratory and related diseases and conditions including, but not necessarily limited to asthma, COPD, bronchiolitis and cystic fibrosis. The Neb-90™ Large Volume Medication Nebulizer is for use in hospital Emergency Department, ICU or other similar settings for delivery of aerosolized medication to patients undergoing severe respiratory distress.
Device Description
The Nebulizer is a single patient/single use device which is filled with a fluid, typically respiratory medication and connected to a gas source via flexible tubing. The nebulizer works by Pavipng a cluid come into contact with the stream of gas. The gas shatters the liquid into small particles. These particles then impact a baffle that further reduces the size of the particles. The majority of the larger particles settle inside the nebulizer as a result of gravity and inertia, returning the mist to liquid to repeat the nebulization process. The smaller particles are then administered as the patient inhales. The treatment is completed when the majority of liquid has been nebulized.
More Information

No
The description details a mechanical nebulization process based on gas flow and particle physics, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is used for the "treatment of respiratory and related diseases and conditions including, but not necessarily limited to asthma, COPD, bronchiolitis and cystic fibrosis." This indicates a therapeutic purpose.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a nebulizer used for administering medication to patients, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one. It doesn't mention any capability for identifying, monitoring, or predicting diseases.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical nebulizer that aerosolizes liquid medication using a gas source and baffles. This is a hardware device, not software.

Based on the provided text, the Neb-90™ Large Volume Medication Nebulizer is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the administration of medication to a patient for the treatment of respiratory conditions. This is a therapeutic purpose, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device description explains how it aerosolizes liquid medication for inhalation. This process is about delivering a substance into the body, not analyzing a sample from the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD device, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening

The device is clearly designed for drug delivery, which falls under the category of medical devices used for treatment, not diagnosis.

Dear Mr. McPeck:

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.
