Intended Use
The Neptune Hyperbaric Ventilator is indicated for use in patients in respiratory failure or who otherwise require mechanically supported ventilation during hyperbaric therapy.
Device Description
The Neptune Hyperbaric Ventilator consists of two main components: (1) a Control Module and (2) a Patient Breathing Circuit. The Control Module is exterior to the hyperbaric chamber and allows the operator to control oxygen flow to the patient. The Control Module houses pressure regulators and timing valves for control of inspiratory time, expiratory time, and inspiratory flow, as well as pressure gauges to monitor main regulator output pressure, hyperbaric chamber pressure, and timing valve control pressure. The Patient Breathing Circuit is located inside the hyperbaric chamber and includes an exhalation valve, a pressure relief valye, and a pressure gauge. The Patient Breathing Circuit is supplied with oxygen from the Control Module and returns interior chamber pressure values to the Control Module. Three high-pressure hoses connect these two components through the hyperbaric chamber door. The Patient Breathing Circuit is then attached to the patient's endotracheal tube for oxygen delivery. The Control Module and the Patient Breathing Circuit are components of the Neptune Hyperbaric Ventilator that are supplied with the device. Safety features include a patient airway pressure gauge, adjustable pressure relief valve, and a hand-operated oxygen flush valve.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on mechanical components and control based on pressure and timing, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities.

Yes
The device is a ventilator, which provides mechanically supported ventilation to patients in respiratory failure during hyperbaric therapy, aiming to treat or alleviate a condition.

No

The device is a ventilator used for mechanical ventilation, which is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic one. It delivers oxygen and controls breathing parameters, but does not diagnose conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical hardware components (Control Module, Patient Breathing Circuit, pressure regulators, valves, gauges, hoses) that are integral to the device's function and are supplied with the device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide mechanical ventilation to patients during hyperbaric therapy. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is a ventilator that delivers oxygen to a patient's lungs. It does not involve the analysis of biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to diagnose a condition.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information.

Therefore, the Neptune Hyperbaric Ventilator is a therapeutic medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Technological Characteristics

The Neptune Hyperbaric Ventilator consists of two main components: (1) a Control Module and (2) a Patient Breathing Circuit. The Control Module is exterior to the hyperbaric chamber and allows the operator to control oxygen flow to the patient. The Control Module houses pressure regulators and timing valves for control of inspiratory time, expiratory time, and inspiratory flow, as well as pressure gauges to monitor main regulator output pressure, hyperbaric chamber pressure, and timing valve control pressure. The Patient Breathing Circuit is located inside the hyperbaric chamber and includes an exhalation valve, a pressure relief valye, and a pressure gauge. The Patient Breathing Circuit is supplied with oxygen from the Control Module and returns interior chamber pressure values to the Control Module. Three high-pressure hoses connect these two components through the hyperbaric chamber door. The Patient Breathing Circuit is then attached to the patient's endotracheal tube for oxygen delivery. The Control Module and the Patient Breathing Circuit are components of the Neptune Hyperbaric Ventilator that are supplied with the device.

Safety features include a patient airway pressure gauge, adjustable pressure relief valve, and a hand-operated oxygen flush valve.

Performance Data

Performance testing was conducted that confirms that the device operates as designed. In all instances, the Neptune Hyperbaric Ventilator functioned as intended; delivery of the gas volumes, frequencies, and safety devices was verified.

Substantial Equivalence

The Neptune Hyperbaric Ventilator is as safe and effective as the Sechrist Hyperbaric Ventilator Model 500A. The Neptune Hyperbaric Ventilator has the same intended uses, similar technological characteristics, and similar principles of operation as its predicate device. The minor technological differences between the Neptune and its predicate device raise no new questions of safety or effectiveness. Thus, the Neptune Hyperbaric Ventilator is substantially equivalent.

Dear Mr. Holstein:

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.
