No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical and physical principles of operation (oscillatory PEP, pressure, flow, frequency) and do not mention any computational or data-driven components indicative of AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".
Yes
The device is described as an Oscillatory PEP (OPEP) device designed to "exercise patient's lungs and to improve secretion clearance." It "facilitates mucus clearing by generating and delivering an oscillation effect that vibrates the airways and lung secretions, causing lung secretions to thin and become expelled." These are clear therapeutic effects for a medical condition.
No.
The device is described as a "Mucus Clearing Device" intended to "exercise patient's lungs and to improve secretion clearance," which are therapeutic functions, not diagnostic ones. It facilitates mucus clearing and aerosol drug delivery.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical, mechanical device (curved pipe, mouthpiece, hose) that generates oscillations through physical means (hose buckling and releasing pressure). The performance studies also focus on physical characteristics and performance of the hardware components.
Based on the provided information, the VibraPEP™ Mucus Clearing Device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "exercise patient's lungs and to improve secretion clearance." This is a therapeutic purpose, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The device description details a mechanical device that uses pressure and oscillation to facilitate mucus clearing. It does not describe any components or processes for analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) to diagnose a condition.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the mechanical performance of the device (pressure, flow, frequency) and the performance of connected nebulizers in delivering medication. They do not involve the analysis of biological samples or the diagnosis of a disease.
- Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is the lungs and airways, which are the target of the therapy, not the source of a sample for diagnostic testing.
IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The VibraPEP™ does not perform this function.

Device Description
The proposed device is the identical VibraPEP™ cleared under K153441 but with a Valved T-adapter and mouthpiece that allow the user to connect a general purpose jet nebulizer.
The VibraPEP™ is an Oscillatory PEP (OPEP) device that looks like a curved shaped pipe with a plastic mouthpiece at one end. A long hose is attached inside. As the patient blows through the VibraPEP™, the hose pressure increases and buckles at the bending of the tube. When the peak pressure is reached, the hose end opens and is catapulted against the wall releasing its pressure. This process is repeated, providing an oscillation effect with pressure during the exhalation phase. By rotating the therapy selector, pressure and flow can be adjusted to achieve optimal therapy for each patient. The VibraPEP™ facilitates mucus clearing by generating and delivering an oscillation effect that vibrates the airways and lung secretions, causing lung secretions to thin and become expelled.
The VibraPEP™ is similar to the predicate RC-Cornet device, cleared on K983308. It has been demonstrated to be functionally equivalent and with the same intended use to the predicate.
The primary device is comprised of several components:
- Curved tube
- Cap for end of Tube
- Mouthpiece with selector
- Valve tube
- Drying tool
- Valved T-adapter for use to connect a general purpose nebulizer
The VibraPEP can allow the patient to connect a standard jet nebulizer via a "tee" adapter and during inhalation receive an aerosol treatment, but with a one-way valve, upon exhalation the user exhales through the VibraPEP™ device to PEP therapy.

Comparative Performance:
A series of tests were performed comparing the predicate, reference and subject device Across flow rates of 10, 20, and 40 lpm:
- Average Pressure
- Average Pressure Amplitude
- Frequency
- Average Flow Rate
Key results: It was demonstrated that the addition of the Valved T-adapter and mouthpiece do not alter the performance of the VibraPEP™ with the Valved T-adapter as compared to the predicate – K983308 - RC Cornet.
Nebulizer performance – Samples of cleared small volume jet nebulizers were tested with 3 drugs with and without connection to the VibraPEP.
Key results: The results show that there were no statistically significant differences between the performances in all configurations. It was demonstrated that the addition of the T-adapter and mouthpiece do not alter the performance of the nebulizer and thus can be used simultaneously with the VibraPEP as indicated with the predicate - K983308 - RC Cornet, which can be used with its specified nebulizer in the same manner.
PEP performance - Samples of the VibraPEP™ with the T-adapter were tested and compared to the VibraPEP without T-adapter, as well as comparing the predicate RC Cornet and its T-adapter for PEP performance.
Key results: The results show that there no differences between performance. It was demonstrated that the addition of the T-adapter and mouthpiece do not alter the PEP performance.
Effects of Aging, Cleaning, and Drop testing - Testing related to aging and cleaning that included mechanical drop testing of the new components, Valved T-adapter and mouthpiece, was performed.
Key results: The components continued to meet their performance specifications.

510(k) Summary
February 21, 2017 Page 2 of 8
Principle of Operation
The VibraPEP™ is a curved tube in which a long valve is inserted. As the patient blows through the VibraPEP, the hose pressure increases and buckles at the bending of the tube. When the peak pressure is reached, the hose end opens and is catapulted against the wall releasing its pressure. This process is repeated, providing an oscillation effect during the entire exhalation phase. By rotating the therapy selector, pressure and flow can be adjusted to increase or decrease the pressure and frequency of PEP therapy.
The modification in this submission is the addition of a Valved T-adapter which allows one to connect a general purpose nebulizer and the VibraPEP™ together. Due to the directional valve in the Valved Tadapter, a patient during inhalation would inhale the aerosolized medications from the nebulizer and during exhalation the valve prevent flow back to the nebulizer and the patient then exhaled through the VibraPEP™. It is the same as if the patient used the 2 devices separately.
Compatibility with aerosolized medications:
Medications which open your airways or help to thin mucus would be good choices to use with your VibraPEPTM Oscillating PEP because they would help remove or thin the mucus in your lungs.
Medications you want to stay in your lungs, like antibiotics and steroids, should be taken after you have completed your VibraPEP™ Oscillating PEP treatment.
Indications for Use:
The VibraPEP™ Mucus Clearing Device is a Positive Expiratory Pressure, PEP device. It was designed to exercise patient's lungs and to improve secretion clearance. The device may be connected via a Valved T-adapter for use with a jet nebulizer for aerosol drug delivery. The VibraPEPIM Mucus Clearing Device is not intended to be used while connected to a jet nebulizer which is delivering nebulized steroidal drugs or antibiotics.

Discussion – We demonstrated that the addition of the Valved T-adapter and mouthpiece do not alter the performance of the VibraPEP™ with the Valved T-adapter as compared to the predicate – K983308 - RC Cornet.
Nebulizer performance – We tested samples of cleared small volume jet nebulizers with 3 drugs with and without connection to the VibraPEP. The results show that there were no statistically significant differences between the performances in all configurations.
Discussion - We have demonstrated that the addition of the T-adapter and mouthpiece do not alter the performance of the nebulizer and thus can be used simultaneously with the VibraPEP as indicated with the predicate - K983308 - RC Cornet, which can be used with its specified nebulizer in the same manner.
PEP performance - We tested samples of the VibraPEP™ with the T-adapter and compared performed to the VibraPEP without T-adapter as well as we compared the predicate RC Cornet and its T-adapter for PEP performance. The results show that there no differences between performance. Discussion - We have demonstrated that the addition of the T-adapter and mouthpiece do not alter the PEP performance.
Effects of Aging, Cleaning, and Drop testing - We performed testing related to aging and cleaning that included mechanical drop testing of the new components, Valved T-adapter and mouthpiece, and found that they continued to meet their performance specifications.
Differences - Testing has demonstrated when a nebulizer is connected to the proposed VibraPEP the performance of the nebulizer is not significantly changed, thus we can stated that there are no different questions of safety and effectiveness.
Discussion of Differences and Substantial Equivalence Conclusion
As detailed above, the indications for use, patient population, environment of use, technology or principle of operation, and performance are substantially equivalent to the predicate.
There are no differences between the proposed VibraPEP™ and the predicate - K983308 - RC-Cornet and reference - K153441 - VibraPEP based upon the comparative performance testing which raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.
