Intended Use
The AURA Family of Ventilators is intended to provide continuous or intermittent positive pressure mechanical ventilatory support through invasive or non-invasive interfaces to individuals that require such medical care. Specifically, the AURA Family of Ventilators is applicable for infant, pediatric and adult patients greater than or equal to 5 kg (11 lbs.). The AURA ventilator is a restricted medical device intended for use by qualified, trained, personnel under the direction of a physician. The AURA ventilator is suitable for use in hospital, sub-acute, emergency room, and home care environments, as well as for transport and emergency response applications.
Device Description
The AURA Ventilator provides ventilatory support for infant, pediatric and adult patients. The AURA ventilator is a prescription device that can be used in hospital, sub-acute, emergency response, transport and homecare environments under the direction of a physician. The AURA ventilator may be operated from AC or DC external power sources or from the integrated battery system. Any time the ventilator is connected to external power, the integrated battery system is charged, including while the ventilator is in use. The AURA ventilator has A/CMV, SIMV, SPONT and VTPC ventilatory modes (Pressure or Volume). The controls of the AURA ventilator are easily found on the front touch screen and panel. The touch screen can be set up in Hospital, Transport or Basic functional Domains to provide the user with full or limited access. The AURA has a Trends screen for displaying data graphically. User Help screens present information for all controls and features. The AURA family of ventilators has models that can be differentiated based on whether or not the device has SpO2 monitoring capability.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related technologies. The description focuses on standard ventilator functionalities and controls.

Yes
The device is a ventilator, which provides mechanical ventilatory support for patients, directly treating a medical condition and maintaining vital functions.

No

The device is a ventilator, which provides respiratory support, not a diagnostic service. While it monitors some physiological parameters (like SpO2), its primary function is therapeutic.

No

The device description explicitly mentions hardware components such as an integrated battery system, touch screen, and intake valve/exhalation resistance, indicating it is not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the AURA Family of Ventilators is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. This includes things like blood, urine, tissue, etc., to provide information about a person's health status.
  • The AURA Ventilator is a mechanical device that provides respiratory support. It directly interacts with the patient's respiratory system to assist with breathing. It does not analyze biological samples.

The description clearly states the device's function is to provide "continuous or intermittent positive pressure mechanical ventilatory support" to patients. This is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one based on in vitro analysis.

Dear Mr. Colonna:

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.
