Intended Use
The Venner™ Tracheal Seal Monitor (TSM) is indicated for use to monitor, maintain and regulate the pressure within the PneuX P.Y.TM Endotracheal or Tracheostomy Tube Cuff in adult patients who have been confined to hospital ICU units where intubation is expected to be more than 24 hours, but less than or equal to 30 days.
Device Description
The Venner™ Tracheal Seal Monitor consists of an automatic inflation cuff controller (control unit) that connects to the Venner™ PneuX P.Y.TM Endotracheal or Tracheostomy Tube using a single patient use, sterile extension tube. The Venner™ Tracheal Seal Monitor regulates and maintains cuff pressure in endotracheal and tracheostomy tubes in adult patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting. The device is intended to measure, monitor and maintain a stable cuff pressure in endotracheal and tracheostomy tubes. The Venner™ Tracheal Seal Monitor consists of an electronic automatic pressure controller with a pressure sensors and a pump, and provides a user interface with adjustable settings, indicators and alarms.
More Information

No
The description focuses on automatic pressure regulation using sensors and a pump, with no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.

No
The device is described as a monitor and regulator for cuff pressure, which is a supportive function rather than directly treating a disease or condition. While it aids in patient care, its primary role is pressure management, not therapeutic intervention in itself.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a monitor that regulates and maintains pressure within an endotracheal or tracheostomy tube cuff. While it measures and monitors pressure, its primary function is active pressure management and maintenance, not the diagnosis of a condition or disease.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a "control unit" with "electronic automatic pressure controller with a pressure sensors and a pump," indicating significant hardware components beyond just software.

Based on the provided information, the Venner™ Tracheal Seal Monitor (TSM) is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Venner™ TSM Function: The Venner™ TSM is a device that directly interacts with a patient's airway (trachea) to monitor and regulate the pressure of an endotracheal or tracheostomy tube cuff. It does not analyze biological specimens.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for monitoring, maintaining, and regulating pressure within a cuff in adult patients. This is a physiological monitoring and control function, not an in vitro diagnostic test.
  • Device Description: The description details a pressure controller, sensors, and a pump, all components related to mechanical pressure management within the airway, not laboratory analysis of specimens.

Therefore, the Venner™ Tracheal Seal Monitor is a medical device used for patient monitoring and support, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies

Performance testing was performed to demonstrate that the Venner™ Tracheal Seal Monitor met its specifications, and is suitable and ready for commercial distribution. These tests evaluated the ability of the Venner™ Tracheal Seal Monitor to maintain and regulate cuff pressure in a variety of settings. Studies established the accuracy of the Venner™ Tracheal Seal Monitor to maintain the selected pressure; the device met its specified accuracy of +/- 5%. Other studies evaluated the ability of the Venner™ Tracheal Seal Monitor to regulate and maintain cuff pressure in a variety of physical settings, and the reaction time of the device to change the pressure in the cuff. In each study, the Venner™ Tracheal Seal Monitor was able to maintain and regulate the pressure of a cuff of an airway tube, and to quickly adapt to changes in the environment or changes programmed by the user. These studies also evaluated the performance of the safety over-pressure valve to demonstrate that the valve automatically opened with an audible "click" when the calculated cuff-tracheal seal wall pressure exceeded 57 mm Hg, and subsequently closed (or reset) when the calculated cuff-tracheal seal wall pressure returned to 27 mm Hg for safe operation. The safety valve performed within specifications and met the acceptance criteria.

The Venner™ Tracheal Seal Monitor underwent system level software verification and validation testing to demonstrate the device performs as intended, and meets its requirements. The device passed all testing and met its specifications.

The Venner™ Tracheal Seal Monitor met international safety standards, including electrical and electromagnetic safety testing (EN 60601-1, 60601-2 and 60601-4).

The sponsor also performed a series of tests to demonstrate that its device can withstand exposure to environmental stresses (i.e., random vibration, sinusoidal vibration and bump) and continue to perform as intended. In these studies, the Venner Tracheal Seal Monitor was tested according to the following standards: IEC 60068-2-64: Random Vibration, IEC 60068-2-6: Sinusoidal Vibration; IEC 60068-2-64: Random Vibration; and IEC 60068-2-27: Bump. The device successfully completed the testing.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS COMPARED TO THE PREDICATE 6 DEVICES

The Venner™ Tracheal Seal Monitor and the predicate devices share many of the same technological characteristics as summarized in the previous table. All of the devices share the same primary function: that is, to obtain a cuff-to-tracheal seal pressure of approximately 25-30 cm H2O to ensure that the cuff provides a proper seal between the tube and the patient's trachea to prevent the leakage of liquids and risk of aspiration, and to minimize the risk of over-pressure and damage to the trachea.

Two of the devices (the Venner™ Tracheal Seal Monitor and the PYTON Cuff Pressure Regulator) accomplish this goal by using a software-based, electro-mechanical control unit with similar accuracies in their measurements and other features, including alarms, indicators and safety features. Please refer to the table for additional details.
