Intended Use

For use with pulmonary function testing (PFT) equipment only, to filter air between the patient's exhaled air and the testing equipment. Single patient use, disposable. Duraton of use < 24 hours. Environment of use: Hospital, Sub-acute facilities, Clinics, Physician offices.

Device Description

The MRD NeumoFilt pulmonary function filter ("PFT filter") is a standard electrostatic filter that is placed between the patient and the pulmonary function testing equipment to keep a patient inhaled and exhaled breath from contaminating the equipment. There are 2 models with the only difference being the patient end piece which is either a biteblock shape (BiteOn) or the mouthpiece shape (Ergo).

AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study information for the NeumoFilt Ergo and NeumoFilt BiteOn devices, based on the provided document:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Feature/TestAcceptance Criteria (Predicate: Air Safety Model 2800 PFT filter (K051712))Reported Device Performance (NeumoFilt PFT Filter)
Resistance to flow @ 1 l/sec0.5 cm H2O0.56 cmH2O
Resistance to flow @ 5 or 12 l/sec0.7 cm H2O @ 12 l/sec0.74 cmH2O @ 5 l/sec
Resistance to flow @ 14 l/secNot reported1.47 cmH2O
Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE)99.9999%99.9998%
Viral Filtration Efficiency (VFE)99.999+%99.9939%
Weight (gm)40 grams30 grams
Internal volume / Dead space75 ml70 ml (Ergo), 68 ml (BiteOn)
Housing Burst PressureNot reported> 120 cm H2O
BiocompatibilityNot reported (implied to be acceptable)Tested per ISO 10993 (Cytotoxicity, Sensitization, Irritation)

Notes on the Table:

  • Acceptance Criteria for Resistance to Flow: The document primarily uses the predicate's reported values as the basis for substantial equivalence, with an additional measurement for the NeumoFilt at 14 l/sec which wasn't reported for the predicate. The ATS standard for spirometry is mentioned for flow rates, implying these values are compared against that standard.
  • "Not Reported" for Acceptance Criteria: For some items (like Housing Burst Pressure and Biocompatibility), the predicate's values are not explicitly stated as "acceptance criteria" but rather as "not reported." The NeumoFilt's performance in these areas is presented as additional testing to demonstrate safety and efficacy.
  • Small Differences: The document explicitly states that "The slight differences in BFE / VFE, weight, and Dead Space do not raise any new safety concern and thus can be considered substantially equivalent."

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Test Set Sample Size: The document does not explicitly state the sample size (number of filters) used for the performance testing (Resistance to flow, BFE, VFE, Dead space, Housing burst strength, Age testing). It refers to "a number of non-clinical tests" and "performance data and testing."
  • Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin for the data or whether it was retrospective or prospective. It only states that the tests were performed.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

This section is not applicable as the device is a physical medical filter, not an AI/software device that requires expert review for ground truth establishment. The performance is measured through laboratory tests against established standards (e.g., MIL-M-36954C for BFE/VFE, ATS standard for spirometry for resistance to flow, ISO 10993 for biocompatibility).

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This section is not applicable as the performance is measured through objective laboratory tests, not through subjective assessment requiring adjudication.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, and the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

This section is not applicable as the device is a physical medical filter and not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.

6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

This section is not applicable as the device is a physical medical filter, not an algorithm.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for the performance of this device is established through:

  • Objective Laboratory Measurements: For resistance to flow, BFE, VFE, dead space, weight, and housing burst strength. These are quantifiable physical properties.
  • Standardized Biocompatibility Testing: According to ISO 10993.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This section is not applicable as the device is a physical medical filter and does not involve a training set for an algorithm.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

This section is not applicable as the device is a physical medical filter and does not involve a training set for an algorithm.

Technology – The MRD NeumoFilt is an electrostatic media that is equivalent in performance and the fundamental principle of operation as the predicate.

Discussion - There are no differences in technology between the proposed device and the predicate Air Safety Model 2800 PFT filter - K051712.

{6}------------------------------------------------

510(k) Summary Page 3 of 4 8-Nov-14

Environment of Use - Hospitals, Sub-acute facilities, clinics and physician offices. Discussion - The environment of use is substantially equivalent to the predicate Air Safety Model 2800 PFT filter – K051712.

Patient Population - There are no patient specific limitations. Discussion - This is identical to the predicate Air Safety Model 2800 PFT filter - K051712.

Performance Specifications - The performance specifications are substantially equivalent to the predicates - Air Safety Model 2800 PFT filter - K051712.

Non-clinical Testing - We performed a number of non-clinical tests to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the MRD NeumoFilt. These tests included:

Materials – The materials have been evaluated and tested in accordance with ISO 10993-1 and G95-1. Based upon ISO 10993-1 and G95-1 the NeumoFilt filter would be considered as:

  • Externally communicating (indirect gas pathway) ●
  • Tissue contact ●
  • Limited duration (< 24 hours) .

And the housing:

  • Surface Contact ●
  • Mucosa contact
  • Limited duration (< 24 hours) ●

We have performed the following tests:

  • Cytotoxicity ●
  • Sensitization
  • Intracutaneous reactivity or Irritation ●

Performance Testing - We have performed the following performance data and testing:

  • Resistance to flow at 1, 5, 14 1/second ●
  • Bacterial / Viral filtration efficiency per Nelson Laboratories ●
    • o Pre - and Post - conditioning
    • Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE) 99.9998% per MIL-M-36954C, S. aureus o ATCC# 6538 of approximately 3.0 micron size, > 107 challenge.
    • Viral Filtration efficiency (VFE) 99.9939% per MIL-M-36954C. X174 о bacteriophage of approximately 2.9 micron size, > 106 challenge.
  • Dead space ●
  • Housing burst strength ●
  • Age testing

Discussion of Differences and Similarities -

As the above table and rationale present there are no major differences between the proposed NeumoFilt and the predicate. Each filter is operates on the same filtration technology that is placed between two houses. They each connect to PFT testing equipment. The predicate may be used with a separate mouthpiece to make it easier for the user whereas the proposed Ergo design the patient end-fitting is shaped like a mouthpiece thus not requiring a separate piece. Their physical

{7}------------------------------------------------

size, design, dimensions are very similar and not considered significantly different as demonstrated by the comparative performance testing. The slight differences in BFE / VFE, weight, and Dead Space do not raise any new safety concern and thus can be considered substantially equivalent.

Substantial Equivalence Conclusion - The sponsor has demonstrated through performance testing, design and features, and non-clinical testing that the proposed device and predicate have been found to be substantially equivalent.
