Intended Use
ConchaTherm Neptune Heated Humidifier: The ConchaTherm® Neptune TM is a respiratory humidifier designed to heat and humidify respiratory gases delivered via endotracheal tubes, nasal cannula or face masks to adult, pediatric, infant and neonatal patients. This system may be used with either conventional (non-heated wire) breathing circuits or compatible (21-volt) Hudson Respiratory Care Incorporated (RCI) heated-wire circuits. The ConchaTherm® NeptuneTM can be used with ventilators, continuous flow systems, oxygen diluters and blenders, adjustable nebulizer adapters for aerosol therapy, or nonflammable anesthesia gases to help maintain patient body temperature. ConchaSmart Column: When used with the Hudson RCI ConchaTherm Neptune Heated Humidifier and Hudson RCI ventilator circuits, the ConchaSmart Column provides heated humidification for patients with and without an artificial airway in place. Comfort Flo Humidification System: To provide a continuous flow of heated and humidified gas to spontaneously breathing patients.
Device Description
The ConchaTherm Neptune Heated Humidifier is an active heated humidifier designed to provide heat and moisture to the medical gases delivered to a patient through continuous flow, invasive ventilation or non-invasive ventilation. The ConchaSmart Column is an accessory to the ConchaTherm Neptune Heated Humidifier. It is a single use, disposable humidifier cartridge which is intended for neonatal, infant, pediatric, and adult patients requiring heated humidification. The ConchaSmart Column is used by inserting the column into the center of the ConchaTherm Neptune. The Comfort Flo Humidification System is intended to deliver heated and humidified respiratory gases to spontaneously breathing patients. The Comfort Flo Humidification System is designed to be used in conjunction with the ConchaTherm Neptune Heated Humidifier for neonate/infant, pediatric, and adult populations. The Comfort Flo Humidification System includes a Heated Wire Breathing Circuit, a ConchaSmart Column, and various Class I exempt accessories.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the physical components and function of a heated humidifier system, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes.
The device functions to heat and humidify respiratory gases delivered to patients, which is a therapeutic intervention for respiratory support.

No

The device is a respiratory humidifier designed to heat and humidify respiratory gases, not to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components such as a heated humidifier, a disposable cartridge, and a heated wire breathing circuit. While software verification and validation are mentioned, the core function and components are hardware-based.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is designed to heat and humidify respiratory gases delivered to patients. This is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces the therapeutic nature of the device, focusing on providing heat and moisture to medical gases.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. IVDs typically involve analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.).

The device is a respiratory humidifier, which is a medical device used in patient care, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Webb:

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.
