Intended Use
The INOblender provides user set concentrations of inhaled Nitric Oxide (NO), in a balance of nitrogen, mixed into a user settable constant flow of oxygen gas that is being delivered to a patient. The intended use for the INOblender is as a back up to a primary nitric oxide delivery system or for short term attended use when a primary delivery device cannot practicably be used. This intended use includes applications within a medical facility and transport outside of a medical facility. The INOblender is not intended for use as a primary NO delivery system for long-term use.
Device Description
The INOblender provides user set concentrations of inhaled Nitric Oxide (NO), in a balance of nitrogen, mixed into a user settable constant flow of oxygen gas that is being delivered to a patient. The INOblender is designed to take constant oxygen (02) gas flow (5 to 14 L/min) from the integrated O2 flowmeter and blend in NO at the setting on the NO blender's concentration control dial (5 to 80 ppm). The NO blender is calibrated for cylinder concentrations of 800 ppm NO in a balance of nitrogen (N2).
More Information

No
The description focuses on gas blending based on user-set parameters and flow rates, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities.

Yes
The device delivers nitric oxide and oxygen to a patient for therapeutic purposes, as indicated by its "intended use" to provide patient-set concentrations of inhaled Nitric Oxide (NO) and oxygen. This fulfills the definition of a therapeutic device.

No
The device summary describes the INOblender as a system for delivering inhaled Nitric Oxide, a treatment, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical device that blends gases (Nitric Oxide and Oxygen) using an integrated flowmeter and concentration control dial. The performance studies also describe testing of a physical device and its interaction with other respiratory care devices.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The INOblender is a device that mixes gases (Nitric Oxide, Nitrogen, and Oxygen) for direct delivery to a patient's respiratory system. It does not analyze samples taken from the patient.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide inhaled Nitric Oxide to a patient, acting as a backup or short-term delivery system. This is a therapeutic or supportive function, not a diagnostic one.

The device description and performance studies focus on the accurate delivery of gases and compatibility with respiratory care devices, which are characteristic of a therapeutic or medical gas delivery system, not an IVD.

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

Summary of Non-Clinical Tests:
To confirm compatibility of the INOblender® with the new respiratory care device, this device was set up and calibrated according to the manufacturer's recommendations, and tested using the settings established for the device. The INOblender® was set up according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

The testing concluded four requirements necessary for the operation of the INOblender® and the respiratory care devices to be compatible:

  • O2 dilution
  • Effect on respiratory care device
  • INOblender® NO dose delivery accuracy
  • NO2 generation

Summary of Clinical Tests:
The subject of this premarket submission, INOblender®, interfaced to the selected respiratory care device, did not require clinical studies to support substantial equivalence.
