Intended Use

The PLAXTRON CPAP System is to provide CPAP to spontaneously breathing adult (>30kg) patients in the hospital and pre-hospital (EMS) environment.

Device Description

The PLAXTRON CPAP System is a state of the art non-invasive, disposable ventilator support system. It is a venturi type oxygen / air mixture delivery device which provides CPAP pressure with a 50 PSI compressed gas source at a low input flow to a spontaneously breathing patient. The controlled airway pressure provides rapid relief for maximum patient benefit with minimal oxygen consumption. The device is low cost and completely disposable for single patient use and it is highly efficient to run from a low flow source for longer cylinder life. It equips with filters on inhalation and exhalation to provide maximum protection.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the PLAXTRON CPAP System, a non-invasive, disposable ventilator support system. The submission mainly focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than independent performance testing against explicit acceptance criteria. Therefore, several of the requested sections (sample size, expert qualifications, adjudication, MRMC studies, training set details) are not applicable or not explicitly stated in the document.

Here's an analysis based on the information provided:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The submission does not explicitly state quantitative acceptance criteria in a pass/fail format. Instead, it relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices and adherence to relevant standards. The "reported device performance" is largely framed as alignment with the predicate devices' capabilities and meeting standard requirements.

CharacteristicAcceptance Criteria (Inferred from Substantial Equivalence and Standards)Reported Device Performance (PLAXTRON CPAP System)
Intended UseEquivalent to predicate devices (Boussignac CPAP Device, Pulmodyne CHF Flow Generator)."To provide CPAP to spontaneously breathing adult (>30kg) patients in the hospital and pre-hospital (EMS) environment." (Matches Pulmodyne, broader than Boussignac in specified patient weight).
Environments of UseEquivalent to predicate devices.Hospital, pre-hospital (EMS) environments.
Patient PopulationsEquivalent to predicate devices.Spontaneously breathing adult patients (>30kg). (Matches Pulmodyne, broader than Boussignac in specified patient weight).

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

  • Sample Size: Not explicitly stated in terms of the number of devices or clinical subjects. The "test set" refers to engineering and biocompatibility testing, not a clinical trial with patient data.
  • Data Provenance: The biocompatibility testing likely involved laboratory samples of the materials. CO2 clearance testing would have been conducted in a lab environment. There is no mention of clinical data or patient outcomes. The country of origin for the data (testing location) is not specified, but the manufacturer is Malaysian.

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

Not applicable. The "ground truth" for the non-clinical performance data (CO2 clearance, biocompatibility, engineering specifications) is established by adherence to recognized technical standards (ISO 5356-1:2004, ISO 10993 series) and engineering validation, rather than an expert consensus on clinical diagnoses or outcomes.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable. This concept typically applies to clinical studies where different experts might disagree on a diagnosis or outcome, requiring a method to reach a consensus. For engineering and biocompatibility tests, the results are typically quantitative measurements or observations interpreted against predefined criteria in the standards.

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

No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. The submission is for a medical device (CPAP system), not an AI algorithm for diagnostic interpretation. The focus is on the device's physical and functional performance, not its impact on human reader performance.

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

Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not a software algorithm.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for the non-clinical performance data is based on:

  • Engineering Specifications and Bench Testing: For characteristics like pressure range, flow, and the functioning of internal components.
  • Adherence to Recognized Standards: Specifically ISO 5356-1:2004 for general performance and ISO 10993 series for biocompatibility.
  • CO2 Clearance Testing: Demonstrating the device's ability to prevent CO2 rebreathing under specified flow conditions.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. This device is not an AI algorithm requiring a training set of data.

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

Not applicable.

5.7 510(k) StatementA 510(k) statement for the new device, as required by21 CFR 93, is replaced with this 510(k) summary.

5.8 Substantial Equivlance

The Plaxtron CPAP System is substantially equivalent in indications for use, environment of use, patient population, and functions (gas flow provided by, Operating Principle, Peak Inspiratory Flow, Display(optional manometer ) ) to the Boussignac CPAP Device and Pulmodyne CHF Flow Generator identified as the predicate devices. The technologies are similar to the Pulmodyne CHF Flow Generator, by the adjustable valve to generate intended CPAP setting and both with the antisuffocation valves , and are different to Boussignac CPAP Device to generate intended CPAP setting by a venturi virtual valve and without antisuffocation valve. The difference among the predicated devices are the CPAP pressure range: Plaxtron CPAP valve with the range up to 15 cmH2O, Boussignac CPAP Device with the range up to 10 cmH2O and Pulmodync CHF Flow Generator with the three step range in 0-10 cmH2O or with the variable step range in 0-20 cmH2O. In biocompatibility, the Plaxtron CPAP System with the same intended patient face skin contact (by the non-sterilized, CPAP mask) and the same external gas communicate pathway (by the flow generator, the mask frame, the Filter, the corrugate tube and the CPAP Valve with adjustable PEEP ) to the Pulmodyne CHF Flow Generator all met corresponding ISO 10993 requirements except that the Pulmodyne CHF Flow Generator CPAP mask can be cleaned and reusable. The cushion mask of the Plaxtron CPAP System is equivalent to the one of the Boussignac CPAP Device to meet corresponding ISO 10993 requirements.

5.9 Assessment of Non-clinical Performance Data

The PLAXTRON CPAP System has the identical intended use and indication for use as the predicate devices. Substantial equivalence to predicate devices was established by applying the product specification comparison. The requirements and test of the ISO 5356-1:2004. Results from this testing provide assurance that the proposed device has been designed and tested to assure conformance to the requirements for its intended use.

Considering the risk in re-breathing of CO2 the CO2 clearance Testing is performed. The input flow used to drive the ERGO Emergency CPAP generator is small than the predicated device but sufficient to prevent accumulation of exhaled carbon dioxide. The basis of the pressure generator is through the use of a venturi. The Bernoulli principle describes the entrainment of air during a continuous flow of compressed gas. The venturi used in the ERGO Emergency CPAP System entrains significantly more air per liter of oxygen than the predicate device. The venturi used in the ERGO

{5}------------------------------------------------

Emergency CPAP System is considerably strong and the total flow generated at 5 Lpm input flow in the ERGO Emergency CPAP System can provides a combined air/oxygen flow that is sufficient to flush the system of exhaled carbon dioxide. The test result shows that the performance specification of the Plaxtron CPAP system is met the requirements of design specifications for which it is intended in clearing the exhaled CO2 at input flows of 5 Lpm and the risk of the CO2 rebreathing is mitigated and acceptable .

Biocompatibility testing is identified by FDA guidance G95-1 that the biocompatibility is the same to the predicated device and US FDA Draft Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff, April 23, 2013, Use of International Standard 1SO-10993, "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part I : Evaluation and Testing" The device is identified with the skin surface contact and external communication device (with the gas pathway), and with limited duration that the Cytotoxicity. Sensitization and the Irritation or intracutancous reactivity are the major biological effect identified and tested. Results from this testing provide assurance that the proposed device is biocompatibile.

5.10 Summary of Conclusion

The PLAXTRON CPAP System is demonstrated that the device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the predicate device and is substantially equivalent to the predicated devices, in terms of intended use, principle of operation, technological characteristics, and performance characteristics to the listed predicates.
