Intended Use

The D R Burton iPEP Therapy System or vPEP is intended for use as a Positive Expiratory Pressure (PEP) by patients capable of generating an exhalation flow of 10 lpm for 3-4 seconds and an Incentive Spirometer as an inspiratory, deep breathing positive exerciser.

Intended for single-patient, multi-use.

iPEP System for hospital and clinical settings vPEP for hospital, clinical, and home care setting

Device Description

D R Burton Healthcare as indicated above proposes to offer 2 devices which we will refer to as the:

  • iPEP (integrated Incentive spirometer with PEP) system and ●
  • . vPEP which is a standalone PEP therapy device

iPEP system

  • Volumetric Incentive Spirometer up to 4000 cc
  • Oscillatory PEP module (cartridge) ●

The design of the iPEP system permits the PEP cartridge to be removed and used as an independent PEP device, which we refer to as the Pocket PEP.

In order to use the Pocket PEP the iPEP system includes a separate mouthpiece, carrying / storage case and dust cover which are needed when one wants to use the PEP cartridge independent of the iPEP systems (Pocket PEP).

When the PEP cartridge is removed from the iPEP system, one can insert a cover where the PEP cartridge has been removed to allow the incentive spirometer to be used one its own.

vPEP

  • The vPEP is the standalone device that is pre-assembled and is not intended to be used in the iPEP ● System. The vPEP incorporates the identical internal components of the PEP cartridge of the iPEP system.
AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) Summary for the D R Burton iPEP System and vPEP, which are devices intended for Positive Expiratory Pressure (PEP) therapy and as Incentive Spirometers. The study described is a non-clinical bench testing and usability study, focused on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices. There is no clinical study described.

Here's the breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document presents two comparison tables (Table 1 for PEP function, Table 2 for Incentive Spirometer function) comparing the proposed device against its predicates. The acceptance criteria for the proposed device are implicitly set by its performance falling within a certain range (e.g., 15%) of the predicate devices' performance.

AttributeAcceptance Criteria (Implicit from Predicate Performance)Reported Device Performance (Proposed iPEP System and vPEP)
PEP Function (Table 1)
Mean Frequency (Hz) @ 5 lpm7.0 Hz (Predicate: DHD Acapella)8.0 Hz
Mean Frequency (Hz) @ 25 lpm13.7 Hz (Predicate: DHD Acapella)13.0 Hz
Mean Amplitude / Pressure (cmH2O) @ 5 lpm5.9 cmH2O (Predicate: DHD Acapella)5.5 cmH2O
Mean Amplitude / Pressure (cmH2O) @ 25 lpm23.2 cmH2O (Predicate: DHD Acapella)22.7 cmH2O
Min Pressure (cmH2O) @ 5 lpm0 cmH2O (Predicate: DHD Acapella)0 cmH2O
Min Pressure (cmH2O) @ 25 lpm2.9 cmH2O (Predicate: DHD Acapella)2.5 cmH2O
Max Pressure (cmH2O) @ 5 lpm5.9 cmH2O (Predicate: DHD Acapella)5.5 cmH2O
Max Pressure (cmH2O) @ 25 lpm26.1 cmH2O (Predicate: DHD Acapella)25.1 cmH2O
Incentive Spirometer Function (Table 2)
Volume range2500 cc and 5000 cc (Predicate: DHD Cliniflo / Coach)4000 cc
Volume accuracy @ 2500 cc14 – 21% (Predicate: DHD Cliniflo / Coach)Not directly comparable at 2500cc.
Volume accuracy @ 5000 cc16 – 21% (Predicate: DHD Cliniflo / Coach)Not directly comparable at 5000cc.
Volume accuracy @ 4000 ccImplies similar accuracy to predicate models at comparable volumes. (Predicate values are 14-21% at similar volumes.)1.6 to 2.2% (Significantly better than reported predicate range, but applied to a different volume. The summary states "The results demonstrated equivalent performance," implying this accuracy is considered acceptable and substantially equivalent to the predicate's performance range.)

Note on "Criteria within 15%": This phrase appears in Table 1 for Frequency and Amplitude/Pressure, suggesting that the proposed device's performance metrics were expected to be within 15% of the predicate device's values. The reported values for the iPEP and vPEP appear to meet this implicit criterion.

Additional Bench Testing:

  • Aging, Simulated Life (cleaning), Drop Testing, Cleaning: Performed with pre- and post-exposure evaluation.
  • Biocompatibility Materials: Cytotoxicity, sensitization, and irritation testing for materials with limited duration (<24 hours) patient contact.
  • Usability Studies: Confirmed appropriate design and instructions for use for intended user groups.

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

  • Test Set Description: The "test set" for the non-clinical, comparative bench testing is not explicitly defined in terms of a specific number of units or data points beyond the flow rates (5 lpm and 25 lpm) at which measurements were taken. However, for "Usability Studies," there were at least 15 users per identified group (lay users and Healthcare Providers).
  • Data Provenance: The data is generated from bench testing and usability studies conducted by D R Burton Healthcare LLC. This is prospective data from internal testing. There is no mention of country of origin for the data beyond the company's location in Farmville, North Carolina, USA.

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

This section is largely not applicable as the described studies are non-clinical bench tests and usability tests.

  • For the bench testing, the "ground truth" is established by direct measurement against engineering specifications and comparison to the performance of predicate devices per existing literature or internal testing of those devices. No independent clinical experts are mentioned for establishing ground truth in this context.
  • For the usability studies, the "ground truth" (i.e., whether the device is usable and instructions are clear) is assessed by the performance and feedback of the users themselves. The document states "2 user groups, lay users and Healthcare Providers," but does not specify their individual qualifications beyond being "Healthcare Providers."

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable as there is no mention of a formal adjudication process for establishing a "ground truth" from expert opinions for the non-clinical bench testing or usability studies. The bench tests rely on objective measurements, and usability studies on user feedback and performance.

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

Not applicable. This device is a medical instrument (incentive spirometer, PEP device), not an AI-powered diagnostic or interpretive tool. Therefore, an MRMC study related to human reader improvement with AI assistance is not relevant to this submission.

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

Not applicable. This device does not have an "algorithm" in the sense of AI or image analysis. Its performance is mechanical and measured directly in the bench tests described. The device's function is standalone in its mechanical operation, but it requires human interaction for its intended therapeutic purpose (patient breathing into it).

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • For PEP and Incentive Spirometer performance (frequency, amplitude, pressure, volume accuracy): The ground truth is based on direct physical measurements using calibrated equipment, compared to the established performance characteristics and specifications of the predicate devices.
  • For Biocompatibility: Ground truth is established by standardized laboratory testing against accepted biological safety norms (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation).
  • For Usability: Ground truth is established by observations of user interactions and user feedback against predefined usability metrics and risk analysis requirements.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. This device is a mechanical medical product. There is no mention or implication of a machine learning or AI model that would require a "training set."

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

Not applicable. As there is no training set, there is no ground truth to establish for it.

Substantial Equivalence Discussion

Table 1 and Table 2 compare the key features of the proposed D R Burton iPEP with incentive spirometer and vPEP with the identified predicates. The comparison demonstrates that the devices can be found to be substantially equivalent to the identified predicates. We based this conclusion upon the following:

Indications for Use -

The indications for use are similar for the proposed device when compared to the predicates - K991561 / K002768 - DHD Acapella for PEP and K003146 - DHD Cliniflo as an Incentive Spirometer. Discussion - We note that the indications for use wording have changed with time. Recent PEP devices have added language related to patients capable of generating an exhalation flow of 10 lpm for 3-4 seconds. This specific wording of the indications for use statement can be found in K123400 - Trudell Aerabika Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure. We do not believe that the additional language changes the intent of the indications for use but provides clarity for the user and patient population.

Patient Population -

The patient population is defined as patients requiring inspiratory exercise and / or PEP therapy is equivalent to the predicates - K991561 / K002678 - DHD Acapella for PEP and K003146 - DHD Cliniflo as an Incentive Spirometer .

Discussion - The patient populations are equivalent to the predicates - K991561 / K002678 - DHD Acapella for PEP and K003146 - DHD Cliniflo as an Incentive Spirometer. We note that the indications for use wording have changed with time. Recent PEP devices have added language related to patients capable of generating an exhalation flow of 10 lpm for 3-4 seconds. This specific wording of the indications for use statement can be found in K123400 - Trudell Aerabika Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure. We do not believe that the additional language changes the intent of the indications for use but provides clarity for the user and patient population.

Environment of Use -

The environments of use are similar to predicates - K991561 / K002768 - DHD Acapella for PEP and K003146 - DHD Cliniflo as an Incentive Spirometer.

Discussion - We have defined the environment of use for the iPEP System to be hospital and clinical settings and the VPEP, standalone PEP device to be hospital, clinical and home care setting. These environments of use are similar to the predicates - K991561 / K002768 - DHD Acapella for PEP and K003146 - DHD Cliniflo as an Incentive Spirometer.

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

510(k) Summary Page 3 of 7 3-Aug-16

Principle of Operation and Technology -

The design, components, and principle of operation of the PEP mechanism, a rocker method, that generates oscillations during exhalation and the incentive spirometer in which a float rises during inhalation have been shown to be equivalent to the predicates – K991561 / K002768 – DHD Acapella for PEP and K003146 - DHD Cliniflo as an Incentive Spirometer.

Discussion - The Incentive Spirometer design is a 1 ball / piston volume based system for incentive spirometer that upon the patient inhaling raises the ball to indicate the volume of inspired air and the method of a rocker means that generates oscillations during exhalation for PEP are equivalent to the predicates - K991561 / K002768 - DHD Acapella for PEP and K003146 - DHD Cliniflo as an Incentive Spirometer.

The proposed iPEP system is different from the predicates in that is allows both therapies to be housed in the same unit so the user can receive both therapies during one treatment period. This difference is a matter of convenience for the user; the performance and function of the individual technologies are substantially equivalent to the predicates. Any differences do not raise any new safety or effectiveness concerns.

Non-Clinical Testing Summary -

Comparative Bench Testing

We performed comparative testing of the PEP functions including frequency and amplitude (pressure) as well as volume accuracy / repeatability for the incentive spirometer portion as well. Each technology was compared to the applicable predicates. The results demonstrated equivalent performance. These results demonstrated that the proposed device is equivalent to the predicates - K991561 / K002768 - DHD Acapella for PEP and K003146 - DHD Cliniflo as an Incentive Spirometer.

Testing that was performed included:

  • Aging, Simulated Life (cleaning), Drop Testing, Cleaning ●
    • o Pre- and post- exposure
  • . PEP amplitude (resistance) and frequency
    • Testing was performed at minimum and maximum expected flow rates of 5 lpm and 25 lpm O
    • Mean Frequency (Hz) o
    • Mean Amplitude (cmH2O) o
    • Pressure at Minimum and Maximum levels (cmH2O) O
  • . Comparative PEP performance
  • . Volumetric Accuracy - repeatability
  • Comparative Volumetric accuracy

Usability Studies

Usability testing was performed with 2 users groups, lay users and Healthcare Providers, with at least 15 users per identified group. Testing included the appropriate tasks based upon the risk analysis. Testing found that the design of the device and instructions for use were appropriate for the intended user groups.

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

510(k) Summary Page 4 of 7 3-Aug-16

Biocompatibility Materials -

We tested the materials in direct and indirect patient contact based upon the duration of contact, for a cumulative exposure (<24 hours). The testing performed was cytotoxicity, sensitization, and irritation.

Clinical Testing Summary -

There was no clinical testing performed.

Discussion of Differences

The differences between the proposed devices and predicates are:

  • Combining 2 technologies into 1 package ●
    • o We have placed the PEP module inside the incentive spirometer housing, yet each device serves as a standalone. The incentive spirometer is performed upon user inhalation and PEP is performed upon user exhalation. Instead of performing these therapies in 2 separate and independent devices we have combined them into a convenient configuration
  • . iPEP System can be separated into 2 separate devices
    • The ability to remove the PEP module and use it as an independent PEP device, O referred to as PocketPEP, is unique. However, the performance of the PEP device is similar to the predicate.

These differences to do raise new risk or safety concerns and thus we can conclude the proposed iPEP System and vPEP devices are substantially equivalent to predicates.

Substantial Equivalence Conclusion

As detailed, the indications for use, patient population, environment of use, technology or principle of operation, and performance are substantially equivalent to the predicates.

The identified differences between the proposed D R Burton iPEP system or vPEP and the predicates – K991561 / K002768 – DHD Acapella for PEP and K003146 - DHD Clinifio as an Incentive Spirometer based upon the comparative performance testing allows us there are no new safety or effectiveness concerns that raise new risks and thus the can be determined to be substantially equivalent.
