Device Description
The Transcend Heated Humidifier is a humidifier that is designed to humidify the air delivered to the airway during positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy with a compatible Transcend PAP device.
More Information

No
The summary describes a heated humidifier for PAP therapy and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities. The performance studies focus on physical and electrical characteristics, not algorithmic performance.

No.
The device humidifies air for a therapeutic device but is not explicitly stated to be therapeutic itself.

No

The device is a humidifier designed to humidify air for PAP therapy. Its intended use and description focus on humidification, not on diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Heated Humidifier," which is a physical hardware component designed to humidify air. The performance studies also include tests related to physical characteristics, electrical safety, and other hardware-specific parameters.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to humidify air delivered during positive airway pressure therapy. This is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces its role in humidifying air for therapy.
  • Anatomical Site: The airway is the target for the humidified air, not a sample being analyzed for diagnostic purposes.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the device's physical and functional performance (electrical safety, humidification output, temperature, etc.), not on diagnostic accuracy or clinical outcomes related to a diagnosis.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The Transcend Heated Humidifier does not fit this definition.

Dear Ms. Swanson:

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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its tollfree number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 796-7100 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/ResourcesforYou/Industry/default.htm. Also, please note

the regulation entitled. "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to

http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm for the CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics/Division of Postmarket Surveillance.

You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 796-7100 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Resourcesfor You/Industry/default.htm.
