The AirLife Adult Heated Wire Circuit is used with the adult patient population that requires mechanical ventilation, positive pressure breathing or general medical gases. The product is single use device, non-sterile and used in professional healthcare environments and intra-hospital transport environments under a doctor's supervision and by skilled clinicians. The AirLife Adult Heated Wire Circuit is compatible to the Fisher & Paykel MR850 humidifier.
Device Description
The heated breathing circuit is intended to deliver and warm breathing gases before they enter the patient's airway. It is provided non sterile for single patient use. The heated breathing circuit is used with Fisher and Paykel heated humidifier.
More Information

Based on the input "Not Found", I cannot identify any K/DEN numbers for predicate devices. The request relies on the text for the information, and since the text states "Not Found", there's no data to extract.

Not Found

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

No.

The device warms breathing gases before they enter a patient's airway, which is a supportive function rather than directly treating a disease or condition.

No.
The device is intended to warm breathing gases before they enter a patient's airway, and is used with mechanical ventilation, positive pressure breathing, or general medical gases. Its purpose is therapeutic/supportive, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "heated breathing circuit" and mentions testing for physical properties like "Length, Resistance to Flow, Conical Connectors, Security of Attachment, Leakage, Compliance, Resistance to Melt," and "Electrical Safety," indicating it is a hardware device with physical components.

Based on the provided information, the AirLife Adult Heated Wire Circuit is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to warm breathing gases before they enter a patient's airway. This is a direct interaction with the patient's respiratory system, not the examination of specimens derived from the human body.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces the function of delivering and warming breathing gases to the patient.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting markers, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The AirLife Adult Heated Wire Circuit's function is entirely focused on preparing and delivering gases for respiration, which is a therapeutic or supportive function, not a diagnostic one.

Dear Erika Fernandez:

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.

5. Indication for use

The AirLife Adult Heated Wire Circuit is intended to warm breathing gases before they enter a patient's airway. The AirLife Adult Heated Wire Circuit is used with the adult patient population that requires mechanical ventilation, positive pressure breathing or general medical gases. The product is single use device, non-sterile and used in professional healthcare environments and intra-hospital transport environments under a doctor's supervision and by skilled clinicians. The AirLife Adult Heated Wire Circuit is compatible to the Fisher & Paykel MR850 humidifier.

Comparison of technological characteristics with the predicate device 6.

The fundamental scientific technology is the same for both proposed and predicate device. It is based on acting as an airway conduit between a breathing machine and the patient (typically attached to an endotracheal or tracheal tube previously insert into the patient's airway). The AirLife Adult Heated Wire Circuit is substantially equivalent to the predicate device AirLife Heated Wire Breathing Circuits regarding safety, effectiveness, design (technology), materials and intended use. The proposed AirLife Adult Heated Wire Circuit is designed to operate at the same minimum flow rate of 3 LPM as the predicate device. Successful test results (specific enthalpy, humidity output and surface temperature) ensured that the flow rate of the proposed device does not raise any different question of safety and effectiveness
