Intended Use

The pNeuton mini is intended to provide ventilatory support for critically ill patients who require the following general types of ventilatory support:

  • Positive pressure ventilation delivered invasively (via an ET Tube) or non-invasively (via a mask or nasal prongs)
  • CMV and IMV mode of ventilation with or without PEEP / CPAP
  • Provide oxygen or a mixture of medical air and oxygen
Device Description

The pNeuton mini ventilator is a small, lightweight transport ventilator designed for use on patients from neonate to pediatric in size (400 gram to 25 kg). It is a time cycled, flow limited ventilator providing Continuous Mechanical Ventilation (CMV) or Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (IMV). In these modes of ventilation, an adjustable inspiratory time, expiratory time and pressure is delivered to the patient. The patient is allowed to breath spontaneously between the mandatory breaths with little added work of breathing. A built-in PEEP / CPAP system can be set to provide expiratory positive pressure. The delivered oxygen is adjustable from 21 to 100 percent. The pNeuton mini ventilator is a pure pneumatic ventilator. Electrical power is not used. The ventilator operates from oxygen and medical grade air input pressures from 40 to 70 psi. The various control systems that manage the time controls, PEEP / CPAP, and safety systems / pneumatic alarms is powered with pure oxygen to maintain stability and accuracy. There are no electronic controls or software in this device. The device provides ventilation and CPAP support for the care of individuals who require respiratory assistance. The device is a restricted medical device for use by qualified medical personnel under the direction of a physician. The device may be used in prehospital environments, inter and intra-hospital patient transport, air and ground transport, and all areas of the hospital including the MRI (NOT for use in the presence of flammable anesthetics). The mini ventilator has been specifically designed for ruggedness and ease of use. The pNeuton mini ventilator uses accessories during normal operation. The primary accessory is a patient tubing circuit to attach the device to the patient. The patient circuit is a single-use disposable device. The patient circuit uses the same major component (expiratory valve) included with the predicate pNeuton Ventilator K043085 with smaller diameter hoses.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The document explicitly states that "Clinical testing was not performed on this device." Therefore, there is no test set in the context of human patient data. The provenance of the data is from non-clinical bench testing and simulated conditions performed by the manufacturer, Airon Corporation, presumably in the USA (where the company is based). The data is retrospective in the sense that it represents controlled lab measurements and simulations based on predefined specifications and standards.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

As clinical testing was not performed and the data is non-clinical bench testing, the concept of "ground truth" derived from expert clinical opinion is not applicable here. The "truth" or reference for performance was established by engineering specifications and recognized industry standards (e.g., ASTM F1100-90, ISO 10651-3:1997, RTCA DO-160G, MIL-STD-810F). The experts involved would be those who developed these standards and the engineers and technicians at Airon Corporation who conducted the tests and verified compliance. Their qualifications would be in engineering, medical device manufacturing, and testing, rather than medical clinical specialties for patient diagnosis.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable, as no clinical test set requiring expert adjudication was used. The device's performance was judged against pre-defined engineering specifications and compliance with voluntary standards through measurement and direct verification.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done

No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done. The document explicitly states, "Clinical testing was not performed on this device." The submission relies on substantial equivalence to predicate devices and non-clinical testing.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

Yes, in essence, the non-clinical testing described represents standalone performance of the device. The pNeuton mini Ventilator is a mechanical, pneumatic device with no electronic controls or software, hence no "algorithm" in the modern AI sense. The testing verified the physical and mechanical performance of the device itself against its specifications in a controlled, simulated environment, without direct human interaction or intervention during the operational tests (e.g., the 2,200 hours of continuous operation).

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for the non-clinical testing was based on:

  • Engineering specifications: The target performance parameters (e.g., flow rates, pressure ranges, time accuracies) defined by Airon Corporation for the pNeuton mini Ventilator.
  • Voluntary industry standards: Specific requirements and test methodologies outlined in standards such as ASTM F1100-90, ISO 10651-3:1997, RTCA DO-160G, MIL-STD-810F, and CGA V-5:2008. These standards define acceptable ranges and test environments for ventilators.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. There is no mention of a "training set" as this device is a mechanical ventilator and does not involve machine learning algorithms that would typically require a training dataset.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

Not applicable, as there is no training set for this device.

Substantial Equivalence

The pNeuton mini ventilator shares substantial equivalency with the pNeuton model A Ventilator, the BabyPAC 100 Ventilator and the Millennium Infant Ventilator across the spectrum of patient population for which each was designed.

The pNeuton mini ventilator utilizes many similar components as found in the pNeuton model A Ventilator including an identical timing and pressure control system with patient / gas supply alarms. Due to the requirements of neonatal ventilation a precision air / oxygen blender is used instead of the air entrainment based oxygen mixing of the model A ventilator.

The pNeuton mini ventilator shares common modalities with the BabyPAC 100 Ventilator and the Millennium Infant Ventilator with significant overlap in the clinical range of function for their target population. The essential clinical function of each device is significantly similar and mimics each other in the typical frame of use by the health care providers. All are pneumatic based and applicable for the same areas of use.
