Therapeutic

Yes
The device is intended to relieve nasal and/or sinus congestion and stuffiness, which is a therapeutic purpose.

Diagnostic

No

The device is intended to relieve nasal congestion and stuffiness by washing and moisturizing the nasal cavity. It does not perform any diagnostic function such as detecting, identifying, or monitoring a disease or condition.

SaMD (Software as a Medical Device)

No

The device description clearly describes a physical, powered nasal irrigator with mechanical functionality (positive and negative pressure) and a collection tank, indicating it is a hardware device.

IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)

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

Here's why:

Intended Use: The intended use is to "help relieve nasal and/or sinus congestion and stuffiness by washing and moisturizing the nasal cavity." This is a therapeutic or symptomatic relief purpose, not a diagnostic one.
Device Description: The description focuses on the mechanical function of irrigating the nasal cavity. It does not mention any analysis of biological samples or the detection of specific substances or conditions.
Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing bodily fluids (like nasal discharge) for diagnostic purposes, identifying diseases, or providing information for diagnosis.
Comparison to Predicates: The predicate devices are also nasal irrigation systems, which are not typically classified as IVDs.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. The Naväge Nose Cleaner's function is purely mechanical and aimed at symptom relief through irrigation.

Device Description

The Naväge Nose Cleaner ("Naväge") is a powered nasal irrigator intended for OTC use to wash and moisturize the nasal cavity. There are many nasal irrigation devices in commercial distribution in the US, and Naväge is substantially identical to those devices in terms of intended use and indications for use. It is similar in terms of mechanical functionality with the single exception that in addition to using positive pressure, Naväge simultaneously uses negative pressure (suction). That is, the device uses a combination of positive pressure (gravity) to introduce irrigant rinse into the nasal cavity, and negative pressure (powered suction) to aspirate the rinse out of the nasal cavity. The simultaneous use of positive and negative pressure makes it possible for the device to be self-contained so that after washing through the nasal cavity, the irrigant rinse can flow into a removable collection tank attached to the device. This provides an improved nasal irrigation experience resulting from functional simplicity, superior ergonomics, and less mess than currently available devices.

Head pressure, the gravitational force resulting from the distance between the upper tank fill-line and the entrance nostril, is a positive pressure that decreases to zero as the irrigant runs out of the upper tank. Head pressure exerts its greatest influence at the beginning of the irrigation cycle when it helps initiate irrigant flow.

Negative pressure generated by a miniature, battery-powered pump serves two purposes. First, it evacuates air from the lower tank which allows the irrigant to flow into it. Second, it creates a small pressure differential that draws the irrigant out of the upper tank, through the nasal cavity, and into the lower tank, thereby making up for the loss of head pressure as the irrigant flows out of the upper tank. Naväge is designed so that the positive and negative pressures are essentially kept in balance which results in the user feeling little or no pressure within the nasal cavity during the cycle, thus providing a superior nasal irrigation experience. It also makes it possible for the effluent irrigant to be collected in the lower tank, resulting in a neater and more convenient overall experience.

flow into a removable collection tank attached to the device. This provides an improved nasal irrigation experience resulting from functional simplicity, superior ergonomics, and less mess than currently available devices.

Indications for Use:

The Naväge Nose Cleaner is intended to help relieve nasal and/or sinus congestion and stuffiness by washing and moisturizing the nasal cavity with a pressure-controlled stream of irrigant rinse.

Substantial Equivalence Statement:

The Naväge Nose Cleaner is substantially equivalent to the Respironics RinoFlow E.N.T. Nasal Wash System ("RinoFlow") cleared under K973875 as a 21 CFR 874.5550 Powered Nasal Irrigator. Naväge and RinoFlow are powered nasal irrigation devices that have the same intended use and indications for use, function in a similar manner, are constructed from the same basic materials, and share the same basic operational principles and technical characteristics. Naväge differs from RinoFlow in that in addition to irrigating, Naväge simultaneously aspirates.

With respect to aspiration, Naväge is substantially equivalent to the Ubimed Cleanoz Nasal Aspirator Kit ("Cleanoz") listed under 21 CFR 880.6740 Vacuum Powered Body Fluid Suction Apparatus. Therefore, in accordance with FDA guidance concerning how to identify a predicate when the subject device has two features not previously combined in a single predicate, both predicates are identified as substantially equivalent.

Performance testing data for flow rate of irrigant and pressure is submitted to demonstrate substantial equivalence with respect to operational characteristics. Both predicates are over-the-counter, and a comprehension study of the subject device's Instructions for Use is submitted to demonstrate substantial equivalence with respect to over-the-counter characteristics for consumer understandability and ease of use,

Substantial Equivalence Conclusion:

The Naväge Nose Cleaner shares the same or similar intended use, indications for use, intended users, device operation, overall technical and functional capabilities, and technological characteristics and performance with RinoFlow as a Powered Nasal Irrigator and with Cleanoz as a Vacuum Powered Body Fluid Suction Apparatus. Therefore it is substantially equivalent to its predicate devices.
