Intended Use
AG Industries filters are replacement filters intended for use in oxygen concentrator machines to help remove contaminants, including air borne bacteria and other particulate debris from an air stream. When used with oxygen concentrator machines, the replacement filters may be used in the home, nursing home, hospital, patient care facility, etc.
Device Description
Room air is drawn into the compressor of a respiratory device through the bacterial intake filter. From the compress, the air passes through the Compressor Filter, if one is installed on the machine and proceeds to the sieve beds. The sieve beds condition the air by removing nitrogen from the air stream, which results in higher concentration of oxygen. The air then passes through the final filter before being supplied to the patient.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical filtration properties of the filters, with no mention of AI or ML technologies. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No
The device is a replacement filter for oxygen concentrators, designed to remove contaminants from the air stream, not to directly treat or diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description indicates that it is a replacement filter for oxygen concentrator machines, which are used to provide concentrated oxygen to patients. Its function is to remove contaminants from an air stream before it is supplied to the patient for therapeutic purposes, not to diagnose a condition. The performance studies also focus on filtration efficiency and biocompatibility, not diagnostic accuracy.

No

The device is described as physical filters intended for use in oxygen concentrator machines, with performance studies focused on filtration efficiency and biocompatibility, indicating a hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the filters are for use in oxygen concentrator machines to remove contaminants from an air stream. This is a mechanical filtration process applied to air, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) to diagnose a disease or condition.
  • Device Description: The description details the air flow through the oxygen concentrator and the role of the filters in purifying the air. This aligns with a respiratory support device component, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples.
    • Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples.
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or prognosis of a disease or condition.
    • Using reagents or assays.

The tests performed (Bacterial Filtration Efficiency, DOP Aerosol Test, Biocompatibility tests) are relevant to the performance and safety of a filter used in a medical device that interacts with air breathed by a patient, not to the diagnostic capabilities of an IVD.

COMPRESSOR & BACTERIA FILTERS ( AG1038831, LL205, LL201, LL202, HCF100, BF910, BF900, BF950, BF200C, BF100, BF500, BF600):

Room air is drawn into the compressor of a respiratory device through the bacterial intake filter. From the compress, the air passes through the Compressor Filter, if one is installed on the machine and proceeds to the sieve beds. The sieve beds condition the air by removing nitrogen from the air stream, which results in higher concentration of oxygen.

debris from an air stream. When used with oxygen concentrator machines, the replacement filters may be used in the home, nursing home, hospital, patient care facility, etc.

6. Discussion of Clinical Tests Performed:

Not applicable

7. Conclusions:

The subject devices have the same intended use and similar characteristics as the predicate devices. No new questions of safety or effectiveness are raised by differences in technology or materials. Thus, the AG Industies COMPRESSOR & BACTERIA FILTERS ( AG1038831, LL205, LL201, LL202, HCF100, BF910, BF900, BF950, BF200C, BF100, BF500, BF600) are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

Dear Mr. Gordon:

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 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); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); 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.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please go to http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/comp/ for the Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/mdr/ for the CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics/Division of Postmarket Surveillance.
