Intended Use
The eVolution 3e ventilator is intended for and designed to provide continuous and or intermittent mechanical ventilation to patients requiring ventilatory support through invasive or non-invasive interfaces and is suitable for use in the ICU, sub acute, long-term acute care, rehabilitation, and emergency room venues. This product is intended for a wide range of patients from pediatric to adult having body weights in the range of 5 kg (11 lb) or more who require pressure-based or volume-based continuous respiratory support, as prescribed by an attending physician. The eVolution 3e ventilator system is a class IIb medical device to be used by trained and qualified healthcare professionals in hospitals or healthcare facilities and intended for sale by or on the order of a physician only.
Device Description
The eVolution 3e Ventilator utilizes dual valve technology and three hot wire flow sensors for precise breath delivery and lower work of breathing. The eVolution 3e is an electrically powered microprocessor-controlled software-driven ventilator with an electrically controlled exhalation valve. The eVolution 3e is available in two configurations; one version of The eVolution 3e utilizes an integrated high performance internal gas source (blower) and the second version of the eVolution 3e utilizes outside compressed air source and does not utilize a blower.
More Information

No
The summary describes a microprocessor-controlled, software-driven ventilator with sensors and valves, but there is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts in the intended use, device description, or other sections.

Yes
The device is a ventilator, which delivers mechanical ventilation to patients requiring respiratory support, directly treating a medical condition.

No

The document describes the device as a ventilator intended for providing mechanical ventilatory support, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "electrically powered microprocessor-controlled software-driven ventilator with an electrically controlled exhalation valve" and mentions hardware components like "dual valve technology," "three hot wire flow sensors," and an "integrated high performance internal gas source (blower)." This indicates it is a hardware device with integrated software, not a software-only medical device.

Based on the provided information, the eVolution 3e ventilator is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device provides "continuous and or intermittent mechanical ventilation to patients requiring ventilatory support through invasive or non-invasive interfaces." This describes a device that directly supports a patient's respiratory function, not a device used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.
  • Device Description: The description details the mechanical and electrical components of a ventilator, such as valves, flow sensors, a blower, and an exhalation valve. These are components of a life-support device, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any other typical characteristics of an IVD device.

Therefore, the eVolution 3e ventilator is a therapeutic medical device, specifically a ventilator, and not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

The design and development process at eVent Medical, Ltd. requires adherence to internal procedures written to comply with the Design Control requirements of the Quality System Regulations defined in 21 CFR 820.30.

FDA's Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software contained in Medical Devices, dated May 29, 1998, was used to define the software design and development activities required for the software developed for the eVolution 3e based on the determined Level of Concern.

The eVolution Ventilator System has been tested and shown to be compliant with the following standards documents:

    1. IEC 60601-1: 1995, Medical Electrical Equipment, Part 1: General Requirements for Safety

9

    1. IEC 60601-1-2:2004, Medical Electrical Equipment Part 1-2: General requirements for safety-Collateral standard: Electromagnetic compatibility-Requirements and tests
    1. IEC 60601-2-12:2001, Medical Electrical Equipment. Particular requirements for the safety of lung ventilators. Critical care ventilators.
    1. EPA Method TO-15, Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) In Air' Collected in Specially Prepared Canisters and Analyzed by Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS)
    1. ASTM F1100-90 Standard Specification for Ventilators Intended for Use in Critical Care.

Performance was conducted using ASTM F1100-90 Standard Specification for Ventilators Intended for Use in Critical Care to demonstrate the durability that the predicate ventilator met and to which compliance has been routinely accepted as requisite to any substantial equivalence claim.

Conclusion:

eVent Medical Ltd. hereby presents data as part of the 510(k) process to support the eVolution 3e Ventilator safety and effectiveness for its stated intended use and presents data claiming substantial equivalence to the identified predicates currently marketed and previously cleared by the FDA.

Dear Mr. Waters:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

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.

11

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/AboutFDA/CentersOffices/CDRH/CDRHOffices/ucm115809.htm 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/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm for the CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics/Division of Postmarket Surveillance.

You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 796-7100 or at its Internet address
