Intended Use
The Healthline RediNeb® Small Volume Medication Nebulizer (SVN) is indicated to aerosolize medication approved for nebulization by a physician. The Healthline RediNeb® Medication Nebulizer is intended for adult and pediatric patients consistent with the indications for aerosolized medication to or through the patient's pulmonary system. The RediNeb® Nebulizer device is for patient use in all areas where the administration of medication by aerosol means is warranted. This includes hospital/institutional settings, home care use, schools and long term care facilities.
Device Description
The RediNeb® is basically a miniaturized jet nebulizer, functioning very similarly to both of the predicate devices. Physical differences are that the maximum fill volume is 3 ml versus 6ml and design is such that the RediNeb® can be incorporated with breath enhanced features of a manifold delivery body. The RediNeb® nebulizer, though very small in size (creating minimal waste if used once and discarded), is fabricated of polymers such that it may be properly cleaned for reuse multiple times.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on physical characteristics and aerosol delivery metrics, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is indicated to aerosolize medication to or through the patient's pulmonary system, which points to a therapeutic use of delivering medication for treatment.

No

The device is described as a nebulizer used to aerosolize medication for delivery to the pulmonary system, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "miniaturized jet nebulizer" fabricated of "polymers," indicating it is a physical hardware device used to aerosolize medication.

Based on the provided information, the Healthline RediNeb® Small Volume Medication Nebulizer is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "aerosolize medication approved for nebulization by a physician" and deliver it to the patient's pulmonary system. This is a therapeutic delivery device, not a device used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on its function as a miniaturized jet nebulizer for delivering medication.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information.

The device is clearly intended for the administration of medication to a patient, which falls under the category of therapeutic devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

DESCRIPTION OF DEVICE: 4.

The RediNeb® is basically a miniaturized jet nebulizer, functioning very similarly to both of the predicate devices. Physical differences are that the maximum fill volume is 3 ml versus 6ml and design is such that the RediNeb® can be incorporated with breath enhanced features of a manifold delivery body. The RediNeb® nebulizer, though very small in size (creating minimal waste if used once and discarded), is fabricated of polymers such that it may be properly cleaned for reuse multiple times.

5. INDICATIONS for USE:

The Healthline RediNet® Small Volume Medication Nebulizer (SVN) is indicated to aerosolize medication approved for nebulization by a physician. The Healthline RediNeb® Medication Nebulizer is intended for adult and pediatric patients consistent with the indications for aerosolized medication to or through the patient's pulmonary system.

The RediNeb® Nebulizer device is for patient use in all areas where the administration of medication by aerosol means is warranted. This includes hospital/institutional settings, home care use, schools and long term care facilities.

SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE: 6.

The Healthine RediNeb® Medication Nebulizer is substantially equivalent to the Medi/Nuclear NEB-3A and the Salter Labs Model 8660 NebuTech HDN nebulizer devices.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS: 7.

The Healthline RediNeb Medication Nebulizer operates with the same technology as the predicate devices. It is a jet nebulizer driven by air or oxygen. The basic technology of design is that the drive gas passes through the nebulizer's jet. The jet is covered by the venturi tube. The venturi tube is in close proximity to the jet causing a vacuum as the drive gas passes through the venturi tube which in turn causes the liquid to be drawn from the cup. As the liquid is drawn up, it is aerosolized as the liquid is accelerated by the drive gas. The aerosolized medication is then made available to the patient through a delivery device for inhalation.

Dear Mr. Schoen:

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.
