Intended Use

The Seal Rite Non-Rebreathing Valve is a single-use, non-sterile device intended to be used with a ventilation mask (without oxygen port) to provide mouth-to-mask ventilation to health emergency victims requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation ("CPR") rescue techniques. It is intended for over-the-counter use.

Device Description

The Seal Rite™ Non-Rebreathing Valve ("Seal Rite Valve") is a resuscitation valve designed for resuscitation using expired air for ventilation. It has fittings on the grooved patient end that will adapt to standard masks (22 mm ID) used for resuscitation. The Seal Rite Valve allows the rescuer to blow air into a mask through its silicone one-way valve and directs the patient's exhaled air away from the rescuer via a rigid one-way valve and multiple exhaust ports. The Seal Rite Valve helps protect the rescuer from potential patient contamination. The Seal Rite Valve does not have an oxygen port.

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

The document does not explicitly state the sample sizes for the non-clinical tests (biocompatibility and bench testing). It mentions that the testing was conducted according to recognized standards (FDA Blue Book Memo G95-1, ISO 10993 series, AS 4259-1995, ISTA Procedure 2A). Typically, these standards specify the number of samples required for each test. The data provenance is implied to be from laboratory testing as mandated by these standards, not from human subjects or real-world use. It is retrospective in the sense that the testing was performed to support the 510(k) submission.

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

This information is not applicable as the evaluation relies on a non-clinical, benchtop and laboratory testing against established engineering and biocompatibility standards, not on expert interpretation of medical data.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not applicable as the evaluation relies on a non-clinical, benchtop and laboratory testing against established engineering and biocompatibility standards. There is no human adjudication process described.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, If So, What Was the Effect Size of How Much Human Readers Improve with AI vs. Without AI Assistance

This information is not applicable. The Seal Rite Non-Rebreathing Valve is a mechanical medical device, not an AI or imaging diagnostic tool. Therefore, an MRMC study with human readers (or AI assistance) would not be relevant.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

This information is not applicable as the device is a mechanical non-rebreathing valve, not an algorithm or AI system. The performance evaluated is the standalone performance of the physical device according to engineering and biocompatibility standards.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" for this device's performance is based on established engineering standards and biocompatibility standards. Specifically:

  • AS 4259-1995: "Ancillary devices for expired air resuscitation"
  • FDA Blue Book Memo G95-1: Guidance for biocompatibility testing.
  • ISO 10993-5: Biocompatibility testing (Cytotoxicity)
  • ISO 10993-10: Biocompatibility testing (Irritation)
  • ISO 10993-12: Biocompatibility testing (Sensitization)
  • ISTA Procedure 2A: Shipping testing.

These standards define the acceptable performance parameters and test methods for such devices.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

This information is not applicable. The device is a mechanical non-rebreathing valve, not a machine learning model. Therefore, there is no "training set."

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

This information is not applicable as there is no training set for this type of device.

Description

The Seal Rite™ Non-Rebreathing Valve ("Seal Rite Valve") is a resuscitation valve designed for resuscitation using expired air for ventilation. It has fittings on the grooved patient end that will adapt to standard masks (22 mm ID) used for resuscitation. The Seal Rite Valve allows the rescuer to blow air into a mask through its silicone one-way valve and directs the patient's exhaled air away from the rescuer via a rigid one-way valve and multiple exhaust ports. The Seal Rite Valve helps protect the rescuer from potential patient contamination. The Seal Rite Valve does not have an oxygen port.

Indications for Use

The Seal Rite Non-Rebreathing Valve is a single-use, non-sterile device intended to be used with a ventilation mask (without oxygen port) to provide mouth-to-mask ventilation to health emergency victims requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation ("CPR") rescue techniques. It is intended for over-the-counter use.

Predicate Device

The Seal Rite Valve is substantially equivalent to the Respironics Rescue Valve (K833748). The Seal Rite Valve and the Rescue Valve are both resuscitation valves utilized for mouth-to-mask emergency resuscitation using expired air from the rescuer through a valve for ventilation of the patient. Both valves direct the patient's exhaled gases away from the rescuer's face via a rigid one-way valve, and both valves have an ISO Standard 15/22 connector that allows use with a standard mask.

Please refer to the Substantial Equivalence Summary Comparison Table below for a summary of the similarities and differences between the subject and predicate devices.

Description of Operation

The Seal Rite Valve consists of a plastic body with two one-way valves: a silicone inspiratory one-way valve and a rigid, plastic expiratory one-way valve. Rescuers utilizing the Seal Rite Valve place their lips on the open end of the valve and blow expired air into the valve, which is attached to a standard mask, for the purpose of supplying rescue breaths to the patient. When the expired air enters the top of the Seal Rite Valve, the rigid one-way valve moves toward the patient, seals multiple exhaust ports, and the silicone one-way valve opens and provides air from the rescuer to the patient. The rigid, plastic expiratory valve remains closed when the rescuer is providing exhaled air to the patient because the pressure on the rescuer side of the plastic valve is

{5}------------------------------------------------

greater than the pressure inside the patient's airways. When the rescuer stops breathing exhaled air into the Seal Rite Valve, the silicone one-way valve closes and prevents the backflow of exhaled air from the patient to the rescuer. The rigid, plastic one-way valve lifts off of the exhaust ports due to the pressure inside the patient's airways being greater than the atmospheric pressure. The patient's exhaled air passes then through multiple exhaust ports.

Technological Characteristics Summary

The Seal Rite Valve is substantially equivalent to the Respironics Rescue Valve (K833748) with respect to intended use, design, principle of operation, technological characteristics and performance and the minor difference in device materials does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.

The Seal Rite Valve was tested to ensure conformance with the FDA Recognized AS 4259-1995 standard ("Ancillary devices for expired air resuscitation") and passed all testing requirements.
