Intended Use
The Monarch™ product is intended to provide Airway Clearance Therapy and promote bronchial drainage where external manipulation of the thorax is the physician's choice of treatment. It is indicated for patients having difficulty with secretion clearance, or the presence of atelectasis caused by mucus plugging. The Monarch™ Airway Clearance System is intended to be used in the Home Care environment by patients, 15 years and older.
Device Description
The Monarch® Airway Clearance System Model 1000 (hereinafter referred to as Monarch®) consists of a garment which contains actuators together with the Main Control Box and pendant controller. The Main control box contains the electronics used to control the actuators which are organized into 8 discrete zones. The pendant controller is tethered to the garment and consists of an LCD display and selection controls to facilitate visual feedback of the therapy and system information while allowing the user to adjust the therapy settings to adhere to the prescribed therapy ordered by the physician. It has adjustment mechanisms over each shoulder and on each side of the mid torso area to provide the wearer with a personal and evenly distributed snug fit. The buckles on each side of the device together with the front zipper help provide a repeatable fitting by allowing the wearer to wear and remove the garment without making changes to the adjustment mechanisms. The product also includes an external charger for the battery and can run on either power source as per desired by the user. The major components to the Monarch® Airway Clearance System are: . Garment - which contains the "pods" Garment shell covers the underlying the garment ● Pendant controls the device function ● Battery installed in the backpack cover ● Garment adjustment mechanisms means to secure and adjust the fit of the Garment to the user . This submission is specific to an expansion of the contraindication related to active implants. The device is identical to that cleared under K163378.
More Information

No
The description focuses on mechanical components and control electronics, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities. The submission is for a contraindication expansion on an existing device, not a new technology.

Yes
The device is intended to provide "Airway Clearance Therapy and promote bronchial drainage" and is indicated for patients "having difficulty with secretion clearance, or the presence of atelectasis caused by mucus plugging," which clearly describes a medical therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is an Airway Clearance System designed for therapeutic purposes, specifically to provide Airway Clearance Therapy and promote bronchial drainage. It does not perform any diagnostic functions like detecting, identifying, or characterizing a disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components such as a garment with actuators, a Main Control Box, a pendant controller, a battery, and an external charger. It is not solely software.

Based on the provided information, the Monarch™ product is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Monarch™ Function: The Monarch™ product is a device that provides Airway Clearance Therapy through external manipulation of the thorax. It is a physical therapy device, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "Airway Clearance Therapy and promote bronchial drainage," which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details a garment with actuators, a control box, and a pendant controller, all designed for physical manipulation of the chest. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, the Monarch™ product falls under the category of a therapeutic medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

contraindication | • Recent placement of transvenous or
subcutaneous pacemaker | The Monarch® device uses Pulmonary Oscillating
Discs (PODs) that create a magnetic field which is
present whether the device is turned on or off. Due
to the presence of the magnetic field, people who
have an active implantable medical device, such as
any of the following, are contraindicated (if they
cannot keep the susceptible component at least 6
inches away from the Monarch® device):
• Pacemakers
• Neurostimulators
• Infusion Pumps including insulin pumps
• Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICDs)
• Circulatory Support Devices |
| Contraindications | • Head and/or neck injury that has not yet been
stabilized
• Active hemorrhage with hemodynamic
instability
• According to the American Association for
Respiratory Care (AARC) Guidelines for
Postural Drainage Therapy, the decision to
use the unit for Airway Clearance Therapy
requires careful consideration and
assessment of the individual patient's case
if the following conditions exist:
• Intracranial pressure (ICP) greater than 20 | • Head and/or neck injury that has not yet been
stabilized
• Active hemorrhage with hemodynamic instability
