The Portable Oxygen Concentrator is intended to provide supplemental oxygen in a home, institutional, or travel environment.
The GCE Zen-O™ (Model RS-00500) POC is the latest design of POC from Oxus, Inc. The GCE Zen-O™ POC delivers 87% - 96% oxygen to a patient through a standard singlelumen nasal cannula. The GCE Zen-O™ POC detects a patient breath and operates by delivering a bolus of oxygen during the inhalation period (pulse mode) or can provide a continuous flow of oxygen (continuous mode). The device is portable, enabling patients who need an oxygen device to be treated at home according to a clinician's prescription or direction. The GCE Zen-O™ POC can be set to deliver flowrates between 1-6 LPM in pulse mode and 0.5-2 LPM in continuous mode; both with increments of 0.5 LPM to a patient. The device can be operated when powered by the 100-240VAC AC/DC power supply provided with the unit and designed to operate with a DC automotive adaptor. In addition, the device contains a rechargeable battery allowing it to be carried by a patient while traveling.
The provided text is a 510(k) Summary for a GCE Zen-O™ Portable Oxygen Concentrator Model RS-00500 (K162433). This document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Oxus, RS-00400 Portable Oxygen Concentrator, K073242), rather than detailing specific acceptance criteria and a comprehensive study for meeting them in the way one might expect for a novel or high-risk device.
Therefore, the information requested in the prompt, especially regarding sample sizes, expert ground truth establishment, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and training sets, is not explicitly available in this type of regulatory submission. The submission relies on comparative bench testing and compliance with recognized standards.
Here's a breakdown of the available information based on your request:
1. Table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document focuses on comparing attributes to a predicate device (Oxus, RS-00400, K073242) and meeting recognized standards, rather than setting explicit acceptance criteria with specific performance metrics for this particular device in a tabular format.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Sample Size for Test Set:
- Bench Testing: "Functional Performance Testing has been performed on a production unit" (singular unit).
- Usability Testing: "Usability testing was performed with 4 users on two devices, lay users and Healthcare Providers."
- Biocompatibility/Gas/Particulate Testing: The language ("the POC emitted a mean PM2.5 level") suggests measurements were taken, but the specific number of devices or samples tested for these parameters is not explicitly stated. It refers to "the GCE Zen-O™ POC" as a singular product.
- Data Provenance: Not specified, but generally, such bench and usability testing would be conducted in the country of manufacture or the submitting entity (likely US/UK given the "Oxus" name and regulatory context implied by FDA submission). These are prospective tests on the manufactured device.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)
- Not applicable / Not specified. For this type of device (portable oxygen concentrator), "ground truth" is established through physical measurements against engineering specifications and recognized performance standards, rather than expert interpretation of data. Usability testing involved "lay users and Healthcare Providers", but their qualifications beyond being "Healthcare Providers" are not detailed, and they are testing usability, not establishing a medical "ground truth."
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- Not applicable / None. Adjudication methods are typically relevant for studies involving subjective interpretation (e.g., image-based diagnostics where multiple experts might disagree). This document describes objective bench and functional testing. Usability testing would involve observing user interaction, not adjudication in the medical "ground truth" sense.
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
- No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This is a physical medical device (oxygen concentrator), not an AI-powered diagnostic tool, so MRMC studies involving human readers and AI assistance are not relevant.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Not applicable. This phrase is typically used for AI/software algorithms. For a physical device, its "standalone" performance refers to its functional performance as measured in lab conditions, which was done via "Functional Performance Testing on a production unit."
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
- The "ground truth" for this device's performance is based on:
- Engineering specifications and design requirements: How the device should perform according to its design.
- Recognized consensus standards: International (e.g., ISO, IEC) and national (e.g., AAMI ANSI) standards that specify performance and safety requirements for such devices (e.g., oxygen concentration, electrical safety, EMC, acoustic noise).
- Predicate device performance: The performance of the legally marketed predicate device (K073242 RS-00400) provides a benchmark for substantial equivalence.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Not applicable. This device does not use machine learning or AI that would require a "training set" in the conventional sense.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not applicable. As there is no training set, this question is not relevant.

IV.Device Description
Oxus, Inc. as indicated above proposes to offer the following device which we will refer to as the GCE Zen-OTM Portable Oxygen Concentrator, Model RS-00500.
The GCE Zen-O™ (Model RS-00500) POC is the latest design of POC from Oxus, Inc. The previous model, Oxus Model RS-00400, is FDA cleared under 510(k) K073242. During the
Portable Oxygen Concentrator
{4}------------------------------------------------
launch of the RS-00500 model in 2015, submission of a new 510(k) was not required per FDA Guidance document "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" and a subsequent Letter to File was generated. Due to recent business partnerships that have led to the sale of the RS-00500 design from Oxus to GCE, Oxus is submitting this 510(k) to procure a stand-alone 510(k) clearance for the GCE Zen-O POC™ (Model RS-00500) separate from the Oxus RS-00400 model. Information provided within this submission references both model numbers due to the sharing of technology and previous testing; however this submission is solely for the clearance of the GCE Zen-O™ POC, Model RS-00500 The GCE Zen-O™ POC delivers 87% - 96% oxygen to a patient through a standard singlelumen nasal cannula. The GCE Zen-O™ POC detects a patient breath and operates by delivering a bolus of oxygen during the inhalation period (pulse mode) or can provide a continuous flow of oxygen (continuous mode).
The device is portable, enabling patients who need an oxygen device to be treated at home according to a clinician's prescription or direction.
The GCE Zen-O™ POC can be set to deliver flowrates between 1-6 LPM in pulse mode and 0.5-2 LPM in continuous mode; both with increments of 0.5 LPM to a patient. The device can be operated when powered by the 100-240VAC AC/DC power supply provided with the unit and designed to operate with a DC automotive adaptor. In addition, the device contains a rechargeable battery allowing it to be carried by a patient while traveling
V. Indications for Use
The Portable Oxygen Concentrator is intended to provide supplemental oxygen in a home, institutional, or travel environment.
Patient Population:
Adult patients with chronic pulmonary diseases such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema, asthma, or lung cancer, those in the terminal stage of cancer, or any patient requiring supplemental oxygen.
The GCE Zen-O™ POC is not intended for use in life supporting or life sustaining situations, and is provided non-sterile. It is a prescription only device, and designed for indoor and outdoor use.
Environment of Use:
Travel, Home or Institution
VI. Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device
Pressure Swing Absorption (PSA) is the technological principle for both the subject and predicate devices. It is based on molecular sieve / pressure swing absorption technology, which draws ambient air, pushes it through a sieve bed, then utilizes pressure swing absorption to convert the ambient air to pure oxygen.

Comparison Discussion
Indications for Use -
The indications for use are equivalent for the proposed device when compared to the predicate - K073242 - Oxus Model RS-00400 POC.
Discussion - The indications for use are equivalent to the predicate - K073242 - Oxus Model RS-00400 POC
Patient Population -
The patient populations are similar for the proposed device when compared to the predicate -K073242 – Oxus Model RS-00400 POC. Adult patients with chronic pulmonary diseases such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema, asthma, or lung cancer, those in the terminal stage of cancer, or any patient requiring supplemental oxygen.
Discussion - The patient populations are equivalent to the predicate - K073242 - Oxus Model RS-00400 POC
{8}------------------------------------------------
Environment of Use -
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.
