Intended Use
The Comfort Twin Nasal Mask is an accessory to a non-continuous ventilator (respirator), intended for use by adult patients prescribed continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or bi-level therapy in hospital, clinic and home environments.
Device Description
The Comfort Twin Nasal mask is a respiratory nasal mask using a dual cushion design with built-in bellows and an inner sealing flap for improving unintentional leak. It is a single patient use accessory for use with CPAP or bi-level devices. The Comfort Twin mask is strapped to the patient's face covering the nose, and connected to tubing to a CPAP or bi-level flow generator. Positive pressure ventilation is then able to be applied to the lungs in a non-invasive way.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the mechanical design of a nasal mask and its use as an accessory for CPAP/bi-level therapy, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No.
The Comfort Twin Nasal Mask is described as an accessory to a non-continuous ventilator, and its function is to deliver positive pressure ventilation. While it plays a role in a therapeutic process (CPAP/bi-level therapy), the mask itself is a delivery interface, not the therapeutic device that generates the pressure or performs the therapy. The document clearly states it is an "accessory."

No
The Comfort Twin Nasal Mask is an accessory to a ventilator, intended for delivering positive pressure ventilation. It does not perform any diagnostic function.

No

The device is a physical nasal mask, which is a hardware component, not a software-only medical device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The Comfort Twin Nasal Mask is a respiratory accessory used to deliver positive pressure ventilation to the lungs. It is a physical interface between a patient and a ventilator.
  • Lack of Sample Analysis: The device does not analyze any biological samples from the patient. Its function is purely mechanical/physical in facilitating airflow.

The description clearly indicates its use in delivering therapy directly to the patient's respiratory system, not in analyzing samples for diagnostic purposes.

Reason for submission new device

Substantial Equivalence

The Comfort Twin Nasal Mask has the following similarities to the previously cleared predicate device:

  • O Same intended use.
  • Same operating principle.

Same technology

Same manufacturing process.

1

The Respironics Reusable II Contour Nasal Mask was cleared in K991648. The Resmed Mirage Activa was cleared in K032916. To update the design of the Reusable II, an inter sealing cushion was added to this device design. This cushion within a cushion design has been reviewed and cleared by the agency in K032916. The new device was validated using bench data. All performance characteristics performed within specification and comparable to the cited device predicates. This testing has confirmed that the Comfort Twin Nasal Mask performs equivalently to the cited device predicates.

Intended Use

The Comfort Twin Nasal Mask is an accessory to a non-continuous ventilator (respirator), intended for use by adult patients prescribed continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or bi-level therapy in hospital, clinic and home environments.

Device Description

The Comfort Twin Nasal mask is a respiratory nasal mask using a dual cushion design with built-in bellows and an inner sealing flap for improving unintentional leak. It is a single patient use accessory for use with CPAP or bi-level devices.
