Intended Use
The MEDICATOR®/RediNeb® Aerosol Drug Delivery System is indicated to aerosolize medication approved for nebulization and prescribed by a physician. This Healthline MEDICATOR®/RediNeb® Aerosol Drug Delivery System is intended for adult and pediatric patients consistent with the indications for delivery of aerosolized medication to/or through the patient's pulmonary system. The MEDICATOR®/RediNeb® Aerosol Drug Delivery System 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 MEDICATOR®/RediNeb® Aerosol Drug Delivery System is a miniaturized nebulizer attached to a valved manifold. During patient inhalation, aerosol mist being generated from the nebulizer is substantially increased through Breath-Enhancement technology, and configuration is such that a filter can be added to the air exit port if so desired.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a mechanical nebulizer system and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
Explanation: The device is described as an "Aerosol Drug Delivery System" used to "aerosolize medication approved for nebulization and prescribed by a physician" for delivery to the "pulmonary system." This aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device as it delivers medication for treatment.

No

The device is described as an "Aerosol Drug Delivery System" intended to "aerosolize medication." Its purpose is to administer medication to the patient's pulmonary system, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "miniaturized nebulizer attached to a valved manifold," indicating it is a physical hardware device for aerosol drug delivery, 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 "aerosolize medication approved for nebulization and prescribed by a physician" and deliver it to the patient's pulmonary system. This is a therapeutic delivery system, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a nebulizer and manifold for delivering medication as an aerosol. It does not describe a device that analyzes biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or any other biological sample to diagnose a condition, monitor a treatment, or screen for a disease.

The device is clearly intended for the administration of medication to a patient, which falls under the category of a therapeutic or drug delivery device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

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.

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 (OS) 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 Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115.
