Intended Use
The PARI O-PEP is intended for use as a Positive Expiratory Pressure Device, and is designed to help patients improve secretion clearance. The PARI O-PEP is intended for adult and pediatric patients ages 5 and older, for use in home, hospital, and sub-acute institutions.
Device Description
The PARI O-PEP (Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure) is a small, single patient use, reusable oscillating PEP therapy device. The PARI O-PEP is a respiratory therapy device designed for temporary application to mobilize secretions or mucous in the lower respiratory tract, strengthen the respiratory tract and alleviate shortness of breath. The patient exhales repeatedly into the device against a movable ball, causing a vibration that is transmitted to the lungs. This causes the deeper respiratory tract to open. By doing this, secretions are mobilized and able to move up the airways. The device is non-sterile, prescription-use only, intended for use in hospital, clinic, or home environments.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical properties and comparisons to a predicate device, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is intended to help patients improve secretion clearance, mobilize secretions or mucous, strengthen the respiratory tract, and alleviate shortness of breath, which are therapeutic benefits.

No

The device is described as a therapy device designed to mobilize secretions and strengthen the respiratory tract, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "small, single patient use, reusable oscillating PEP therapy device" that the patient exhales into, causing a vibration. This describes a physical hardware device, not software.

Based on the provided information, the PARI O-PEP is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's a Positive Expiratory Pressure Device designed to help patients improve secretion clearance. This is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details how the device works by creating vibrations during exhalation to mobilize secretions. This is a physical therapy mechanism, not a method for analyzing biological samples.
  • No mention of biological samples: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue). The PARI O-PEP interacts directly with the patient's respiratory system during breathing.
  • No mention of diagnostic testing: The purpose is to treat a condition (secretion clearance), not to diagnose a disease or condition.

Therefore, the PARI O-PEP falls under the category of a therapeutic medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description

The PARI O-PEP (Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure) is a small, single patient use, reusable oscillating PEP therapy device. The PARI O-PEP is a respiratory therapy device designed for temporary application to mobilize secretions or mucous in the lower respiratory tract, strengthen the respiratory tract and alleviate shortness of breath. The patient exhales repeatedly into the device against a movable ball, causing a vibration that is transmitted to the lungs. This causes the deeper respiratory tract to open. By doing this, secretions are mobilized and able to move up the airways. The device is non-sterile, prescription-use only, intended for use in hospital, clinic, or home environments.

Medical Condition Treated

The PARI O-PEP is intended to help patients with respiratory conditions clear mucus and secretions from their airways.

Indications For Use

The PARI O-PEP is intended for use as a Positive Expiratory Pressure Device, and is designed to help patients improve secretion clearance. The PARI O-PEP is intended for adult and pediatric patients ages 5 and older, for use in home, hospital, and sub-acute institutions.

Discussion of Differences

The design and intended use of the subject and predicate devices are similar, since both sets are oscillating resistance devices for prescription use, and aid patients with mucus secretion through the airways via Positive Expiratory Pressure. Product codes and regulation numbers for the subject device and predicate devices differ; however, devices under both regulations are used to transmit vibrations through the patient's chest wall to aid in freeing mucus and improving ventilation. Performance testing demonstrates that the PARI O-PEP and predicate Flutter D devices were tested to compare oscillation frequency and expiratory resistance. Results demonstrate that the PARI O-PEP device produces comparable oscillation frequencies across a range of flow rates and pressure ranges.

Non-Clinical Test Summary

PARI O- PEP was tested to compare performance to the predicate Flutter device and satisfy applicable guidance, including:

  • Expiratory resistance: PARI O-PEP expiratory pressure level was compared to the predicate Flutter device across a range of flow rates between 5 and 30 LPM and angular positions of 0 and 30 degrees, and was found to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device for all variables.
  • . Oscillating frequency: PARI O-PEP oscillating frequency was compared to the predicate Flutter device across a range of flows between 5 and 30 LPM and angular positions of 0 and 30 degrees, and was found to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device for all variables.
  • . Biocompatibility: Testing demonstrates that the subject device meets requirements in accordance with: ISO 10993-1: Biological Evaluation of medical devices – Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a ■
    • risk management process
    • . ISO 10993-5: Biological Evaluation of medical devices – Part 5: Tests for in vitro cytotoxicity
    • . ISO 10993-10: Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 10: Tests for irritation and skin sensitization
  • . Cleaning efficacy validation: Testing demonstrates that the subject device meets requirements for cleaning of a reusable medical device in accordance with recognized guidelines, including:
    • 트 AAMI TIR No. 30, 2011: A Compendium of Processes, Materials, Test Methods, and Acceptance Criteria for Cleaning Reusable Medical Devices

Clinical Performance Summary

Clinical testing was not completed/is not required to show substantial equivalence.

Conclusion

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