Intended Use
The Simple T Nasal Mask is intended to provide an interface for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) or bi-level therapy. This mask is intended for single-patient reuse in the home and multi-patient, multi-use in the hospital/institutional environment. This mask is to be used on patients greater than 66 lbs /30 kg.
Device Description
The Simple T Nasal Mask is intended to be used with positive airway pressure devices such as CPAP or bi-level systems. It provides a seal such that positive pressure from the positive pressure source is directed into the patient's nose. It is held in place with a frame and adjustable headgear. The mask components may be cleaned by the patient in the home or disinfected by the professional in the hospital/institutional environment (multi-patient use). The fabric headgear and frame may be cleaned by low-level disinfection processes (multi-patient use). The design consists of a silicone nasal cushion designed to fit over the patient's nose. The cushion is connected to a nasal cushion support (frame) that rests along the sides of the patient's face and supports the cushion. The frame is covered in a fabric material for comfort purposes. An elbow is connected at the frame via a snap lock attachment feature. The fabric headgear is connected to the mask through slots in the frame. The nasal cushion and elbow are designed in such a way that it can be easily removed from the frame for cleaning or replacement purposes. The elbow is attached to 15mm tubing that is fitted at the end with a 22mm swivel connector. This fitting is used to connect conventional air delivery hose between the mask and pressure source. The 22mm swivel connector is designed in such a way that it can rotate freely through 360 degrees. The built-in vent openings are molded into the front side of the vent openings are used to flush exhaled CO2 out of the circuit and may be visually inspected for obstruction prior to use.

No
The 510(k) summary describes a physical nasal mask and its components for CPAP/bi-level therapy. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML. The performance studies focus on physical properties, cleaning/disinfection, and biocompatibility.

Yes

Explanation: The device is a nasal mask intended to provide an interface for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) or bi-level therapy, which are recognized therapeutic interventions for conditions like sleep apnea.

No

Explanation: The device is a nasal mask intended to provide an interface for CPAP or bi-level therapy, meaning it is a therapeutic device for delivering air pressure, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components such as a silicone nasal cushion, frame, headgear, and elbow, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide an interface for CPAP or bi-level therapy, which is a therapeutic intervention for respiratory conditions. IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical mask and its components used to deliver positive airway pressure. It does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
  • No mention of biological samples: The entire description focuses on the physical function of the mask and its connection to a pressure source. There is no mention of collecting, analyzing, or interacting with biological specimens like blood, urine, or tissue.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the mask's functionality, cleaning/disinfection efficacy, and biocompatibility, all of which are relevant to a therapeutic device, not an IVD.

Therefore, the Simple T Nasal Mask is a therapeutic medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

To demonstrate performance and functionality was unaffected as a result of these changes, performance testing was completed. Testing was performed pre and post cleaning and disinfection freatments. Additionally, cleaning and disinfection efficacy testing was performed to ensure that the mask could be disinfected, in accordance with AAMI TIR No. 12-2010, AAMI TIR 30-2011, ASTM E1837-96 (2007), and the "Content and Format of Premarket Notification [510(k)] Submissions for Liquid Chemical Sterilants/High Level Disinfectants" - FDA CDRH, January 3, 2000. A biocompatibility assessment in accordance with ISO 10993-1: 2009 Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices - Part 1: Evaluation and Testing was completed for all skin-contacting materials.

Results from this testing concluded that the verification testing performed verified that the Simple T Mask meets its performance specifications, raises no new issues of safety or effectiveness, and is substantially equivalent to the identified device predicates.
