Intended Use
The NIOV Ventilator, with accessories; is a volume assist ventilator intended to aid adult patients with respiratory insufficiency. It is designed for patients that are capable of spontaneously breathing a minimum tidel volume of 3.5 ml/kg of predicted body weight. The device is designed for continuous applications such as patient ambulation, physical therapy, respiratory therapy, and other rehabilitation efforts in an institutional or home care environment. The device is intended for operation by trained personnel, patients or their caregivers under the direction of a physician.
Device Description
The Breathe Technologies NIOV Ventilator System is a battery powered, wearable, volume ventilator that augments the patient's spontaneous breathing. The NIOV Ventilator administers this physician-prescribed volume to the patient via the attached Breathe Technologies Patient Circuit (BT-PC) which inserts into the patient's tracheostomy tube, or via the Breath Technologies NIOV Pillows Interface, a type of nasal mask. The ventilator is small and light enough to be worn on a patient's belt, or slung over their shoulder. It is connected to a separate, third party, air or oxygen gas supply. The Ventilator is cleared for Institutional or Home Use.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document does not mention AI, ML, or any related technologies in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.

Yes.
The device's intended use is to aid adult patients with respiratory insufficiency, and it administers physician-prescribed volume to augment a patient's spontaneous breathing, which directly addresses a medical condition or provides therapy.

No
The device is described as a "volume assist ventilator intended to aid adult patients with respiratory insufficiency." Its function is to augment spontaneous breathing by administering physician-prescribed volume, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "battery powered, wearable, volume ventilator" and mentions physical components like a "Patient Circuit" and "NIOV Pillows Interface," indicating it is a hardware device with integrated software, not a software-only device.

Based on the provided text, 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 NIOV Ventilator is a device that provides mechanical ventilation to assist patients with breathing. It directly interacts with the patient's respiratory system, not with samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use describes aiding adult patients with respiratory insufficiency by providing volume assist ventilation. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test.
  • Device Description: The description details how the ventilator delivers air or oxygen to the patient via a circuit or nasal mask. This is consistent with a respiratory support device, not an IVD.

Therefore, the NIOV Ventilator falls under the category of a therapeutic medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

d. Intended Use

The NIOV Ventilator, with accessories, is a volume assist ventilator intended to aid adult patients with respiratory insufficiency. It is designed for patients that are capable of spontaneously breathing a minimum tidal volume of 3.5 ml/kg of predicted body weight. The device is designed for continuous applications such as patient ambulation, physical therapy, occupational therapy, respiratory therapy, and other rehabilitation efforts in an institutional or home care environment. The device is intended for operation by trained personnel, patients or their caregivers under the direction of a physician.

e. Comparison to Predicate Device

The Breathe Technologies NIOV Ventilator is substantially equivalent in Intended Use. Indications for Use, technology, design, and performance to the BT-V2S that was cleared under K103345. The ventilators' patient circuits are mechanically identical. They differ only in a few dimensions.

The modifications for the application device are described in part 1h of section 11. All the changes, except for the additional supply gas, would be considered a "Not Significant" change when judged by themselves according to the FDA memorandum "Deciding when to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device, K97-1." Many have already been implemented per the justifications of the K97-1 memo.

None of the changes creates a change in the indications for use or a change in the fundamental scientific technology of the Breathe NIOV Ventilator.

Since only one of the modifications are significant per FDA guidelines, and the addition of air as a supply gas does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness, the version of the Breathe NIOV Ventilator submitted in this application is substantially equivalent to the predicate version of the BT-V2S described in K103345.

Breathe Technologies concludes that based on intended use, performance and documentation the application NIOV Ventilator is substantially equivalent to the BT-V2S that was cleared under K103345.

f. Summary of Supporting Data

The Software Design and Validation process (Section 16) along with the bench testing of the device (Section 18) demonstrated that the Breathe NIOV Ventilator System operates as intended.

In particular, testing demonstrated that Breathe NIOV Ventilator System continues to be compliant with the following Guidelines and Standards:
