The environment of use are equivalent for the proposed device when compared to the predicate - K073242 - Oxus Model RS-00400 POC.

Discussion - The environment of use are equivalent to the predicate - K073242 - Oxus Model RS-00400 POC

Principle of Operation and Technology -

The design, components, and principle of operation of the POC, based on molecular sieve / pressure swing absorption technology, to draw ambient air, push it through a sieve bed, then utilize pressure swing absorption to convert the ambient air to pure oxygen have been shown to be equivalent to the predicate - K073242 - Oxus Model RS-00400 POC.

Discussion – The GCE Zen-O™ POC design uses molecular sieve / Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology to deliver concentrated oxygen. A series of chambers and valves allows pressurized air to enter the sieve bed assembly, effectively separating nitrogen from the air. When one chamber is receiving pressurized air, the other is purqing nitrogen back into the air. The cycle is repeated continuously. The concentrated oxygen created at each cycle is stored in a chamber to be delivered to a patient when the device detects a patient breath are equivalent to the predicate -K073242 - Oxus Model RS-00400 POC

The differences between the proposed device and predicate are:

  • The GCE Zen-O™ Portable Oxygen Concentrator has additional capability compared to . the Oxus Model RS-00400 as it can deliver in either pulse mode or continuous flow modes; however the oxygen producing operations are similar.
  • The two products are different from each other as indicated in the comparison table ● below in size and weight. The subject device is a slightly heavier concentrator that provides both pulse and continuous flow delivery options.

The GCE Zen-O™ POC Model RS-00500 and the predicate device both meet the requirements related to performance and safety standards applicable to the portable oxygen concentrators and the differences noted in the comparison do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness and thus we can conclude the proposed GCE Zen-O™ POC Model RS-00500 is substantially equivalent to the predicate, K073242 - Oxus Model RS-00400 POC.
