Intended Use
The AG100s is intended to monitor and control the cuff pressures of endotracheal tube (ETT) or tracheostomy tube (TT) and to evacuate secretions from the subglottic space above the cuff during mechanical ventilation. 1. When used with a standard ETT or TT, the device automatically maintains the cuff pressure as pre-set by the user. 2. When used with ETT or TT with suction line, the device automatically maintains the cuff pressure as pre-set by the user and performs intermittent evacuation of subglottic secretions from above the tube's cuff. 3. When used with ETT with suction and venting lines (e.g., AG ETT), the device automatically maintains the cuff pressure as pre-set by the user, or automatically adjusts the cuff pressure based on monitoring of the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) concentration above the cuff. In addition, it performs evacuation, or rinsing and evacuation of subglottic secretions from above the tube's cuff.
Device Description
The AG100s system is comprised of the following main components: - The AG100s control unit - The AnapnoGuard connection kit/harness (AG Connection Kit) connecting a cuffed airway to the AG100s control unit. Additional device components include cart, secretions canister (Trap Bottle), rinsing fluid (saline) bag and antibacterial air filter. When the AG100s, is connected to AG ETT, it monitors leaks between endotracheal cuff and the trachea by measuring the Carbon Dioxide levels in the subglottic area above the cuff through a dedicated lumen in the endotracheal tube. Detection of a high level of Carbon Dioxide is an objective indicator for a leak (improper sealing of the trachea by the AG ETT). The system continuously monitors and adjusts the cuff pressure to prevent a leak at minimum possible pressure (all within pressure limits preset by the user). Preventing a leak reduces the likelihood of aspiration of secretions from the upper airways into the lungs and increases the likelihood for no loss of ventilation and delivery of anesthetic and nebulized drugs into the lungs. Keeping the cuff pressure as low as possible reduces the mechanical pressure of the cuff on the tracheal tissue throughout the intubation period. The system also performs evacuation of secretions from above the endotracheal tube's cuff through a dedicated lumen at the dorsal side of the endotracheal tube. The AG100s also performs cuff pressure monitoring and control in standard FDA cleared TTs and ETTs; depending on the tube type, the system may also perform secretions removal.
More Information

No
The description focuses on automated control and monitoring based on pre-set parameters and direct measurements (CO2 levels), without mentioning learning or adaptive algorithms characteristic of AI/ML.

Yes.
The device maintains cuff pressure and evacuates secretions to prevent complications like aspiration and tissue damage, which are therapeutic actions.

No

The device is primarily intended to monitor and control cuff pressures and evacuate secretions, which are therapeutic and management functions, not diagnostic. While it monitors CO2 to detect leaks, this monitoring is for operational adjustment (preventing leaks) rather than diagnosing a patient's condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components including a control unit, connection kit, cart, secretions canister, rinsing fluid bag, and antibacterial air filter. The device's function is dependent on the interaction and operation of these physical components.

Based on the provided text, the AG100s device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

  • IVDs analyze samples taken from the human body. The AG100s monitors and controls cuff pressure and evacuates secretions from the subglottic space. While it interacts with the body, it does not analyze biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide diagnostic information about a patient's health status.
  • The device's function is mechanical and physiological. It manages pressure, removes fluids, and monitors CO2 levels as an indicator of a physical condition (leakage), not as a diagnostic marker of a disease or condition.
  • The intended use and device description focus on managing the airway and preventing complications related to intubation. This is a therapeutic and monitoring function, not a diagnostic one.

Therefore, the AG100s falls under the category of a medical device, but not specifically an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

  • The AnapnoGuard connection kit/harness (AG Connection Kit) O connecting a cuffed airway to the AG100s control unit.

Additional device components include cart, secretions canister (Trap Bottle), rinsing fluid (saline) bag and antibacterial air filter.

When the AG100s, is connected to AG ETT, it monitors leaks between endotracheal cuff and the trachea by measuring the Carbon Dioxide levels in the subglottic area above the cuff through a dedicated lumen in the endotracheal tube. Detection of a high level of Carbon Dioxide is an objective indicator for a leak (improper sealing of the trachea by the AG ETT). The system continuously monitors and adjusts the cuff pressure to prevent a leak at minimum possible pressure (all within pressure limits preset by the user). Preventing a leak reduces the likelihood of aspiration of secretions from the upper airways into the lungs and increases the likelihood for no loss of ventilation and delivery of anesthetic and nebulized drugs into the lungs. Keeping the cuff pressure as low as possible reduces the mechanical pressure of the cuff on the tracheal tissue throughout the intubation period. The system also performs evacuation of secretions from above the endotracheal tube's cuff through a dedicated lumen at the dorsal side of the endotracheal tube.

The AG100s also performs cuff pressure monitoring and control in standard FDA cleared TTs and ETTs; depending on the tube type, the system may also perform secretions removal.

    1. When used with ETT with suction and venting lines (e.g., AG ETT), the device automatically maintains the cuff pressure as pre-set by the user, or automatically adjusts the cuff pressure based on monitoring of the Carbon Dioxide (CO2) concentration above the cuff. In addition, it performs evacuation, or rinsing and evacuation of subglottic secretions from above the tube's cuff.

5.6 SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

The AG100s is substantially equivalent to the predicate device based on the following:

Intended Use

The intended use of the proposed device remains unchanged. The indication for use has been modified to include the ability to connect to TT as well as to provide

5

clarifications regarding device functionality when connected to various airway tubes.

Technology

The proposed device modifications introduce the ability to connect the system to TT through minor GUI modifications. All changes have been validated demonstrating that the device functions as intended. Testing demonstrates that the modified AG100s functions in an equivalent manner as the previously cleared AG100s.

Discussion

The modified AG100s has the same intended use as the previously cleared AG100s, and a slightly modified indications for use statement (for clarification purposes). The main technological difference between the devices is the ability to connect the AG100s to a TT as well as ETT.

Verification and Validation testing demonstrated that the revised device is substantially equivalent to the previously cleared AG100s. Consequently, the AG100s is as safe and effective as its predicates without raising any new safety and/or effectiveness concerns.
