Device Description
The BreathID® Hp System is a non-invasive breath test system for detecting the presence of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). The systems consist of an electro-optical medical device designed to measure and compute the changes in the ratio between 1302 and 1202 concentrations in the patient's exhalation, software, and a test kit. The IDkit Hp® One test kit consists of: - . One Package Insert - One Tablet of 13C-enriched urea,75mg . - One packet of 4.3g of Powder Citrica (citric acid). . - One IDcircuit™ nasal cannula ● - . One straw for stirring and drinking Using a nasal cannula for breath collection directly from the patient's nostrils enables point of care testing. The BreathID® Hp continually measures and computes the ratio between 13CO2 and 12CO2 in the patient's exhaled breath before and after the ingestion of 13C-urea. The change in the 13CO2/ 12CO2 ratio before and after ingestion of "3C-urea is used to compute the Delta over Baseline (DOB). The 13C measurement method is based on Molecular Correlation Spectroscopy™ (MCS) technology. MCS technology is based on the concept of optical absorption of specific radiation emitted from CO2 discharge lamps.

No.
The device is a diagnostic tool used to measure changes in breath ratios for detecting H. pylori infection; it does not provide therapy or treatment for the condition.

Yes

The device is intended for use as an aid in the initial diagnosis and post-treatment monitoring of H. pylori infection.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of an "electro-optical medical device designed to measure and compute the changes in the ratio between 1302 and 1202 concentrations in the patient's exhalation, software, and a test kit." This indicates the presence of significant hardware components beyond just software.

Yes, based on the provided information, the BreathID® Hp System is an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the system is used to measure changes in the 13CO2/12CO2 ratio of exhaled breath, which is indicative of a biological process (urease production associated with H. pylori infection). This measurement is performed on a sample (exhaled breath) taken from the human body.
  • Indications for Use: It is indicated as an aid in the initial diagnosis and post-treatment monitoring of H. pylori infection. Diagnosis and monitoring of disease are key functions of IVDs.
  • Device Description: The description details a system that includes a test kit with reagents (13C-enriched urea, citric acid) and a device that measures and computes the ratio of isotopes in the exhaled breath. This process involves analyzing a biological sample outside of the body.
  • Components: The system includes a "test kit" (IDkit Hp® One test kit) which is a common component of IVDs, containing reagents and materials for the test.

The definition of an IVD generally involves devices, reagents, and systems intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, including a determination of the state of health, in order to cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent disease or its sequelae. This is achieved by examining specimens derived from the human body, such as blood, urine, tissue, or in this case, exhaled breath.

The BreathID® Hp System fits this definition by analyzing a specimen (exhaled breath) to aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of H. pylori infection.

Substantial Equivalence

The device and kit of the BreathID® Hp System that is subject of this Special 510(k) labeling modification request is identical to the device and kit of the cleared predicate BreathID® Hp System (K173772). The exact same technology and the same principles of operation are used, including the same test kit, utilizing the same test substrate and same method to collect patient's exhaled breath samples for the test, as the predicate device.

The labeling modification in this submission is specifically related to the current limitation for those patients taking proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and performing the breath test and is reflected in changes to the package insert of the test kit, IDkit Hp® One that is used as part of the BreathID® Hp System. This labeling modification informs clinicians that a positive result could be considered as indicative of the presence of urease enzyme associated with H. pylori in patients using PPIs, a family of prescription and over-the-counter drugs that helps alleviate the symptoms caused by H. pylori infection. The changes in the Package Insert are described below:

    1. In Section 5.2 Warnings and Precautions, item 7 is revised to remove the following statement:
      "Antimicrobials, proton pump inhibitors, and bismuth preparations are known to suppress H. pylori. Ingesting these medications within two weeks prior to performing the breath test mav produce false negative test results."

The following statements will replace the removed warning:

"False negative test results may be caused by:

  • Ingestion of antimicrobials or bismuth preparations within two weeks prior to performing . the breath test.
  • . Ingestion of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) within two weeks prior to performing the breath test.

Note: If a negative result is obtained from a patient ingesting a PPI within two weeks prior to the breath test, it may be a false-negative result and the test should be repeated two weeks after discontinuing the PPI treatment. A positive result for a patient on a PPI could be considered as indicative of the presence of urease associated with H. pylori."

    1. In Section 7.7 Operational Precautions and Limitations, item 4-6 is revised to accept positive breath test results in patients using PPIs as is in the following statement:
  1. "The patient should not have taken antimicrobials, proton pump inhibitors (PPI) or bismuth preparations within two weeks prior to administering the breath test.

  2. If the test is negative and it is determined that the subject has used PPIs within two weeks prior to taking the breath test, the test may provide a false negative result. The test needs to be repeated in two weeks post discontinuation of PPI treatment.

  3. A positive result for a patient on PPI could be considered as indicative of the presence of urease enzyme associated with H. pylori.

Note: The numbering of the next items in this section was adjusted accordingly.

    1. Section 8.1 Patient Preparation is revised to accept positive breath test results in patients using PPIs as in the following statement:
      "The patient should have fasted at least one hour before administering the solution. The patient should not have taken antimicrobials, proton pump inhibitors (PPI) or bismuth preparations within two weeks prior to administering the test. If PPIs are used within two weeks of breath testing, false negative test results may occur, and the test should be repeated two weeks after discontinuation of PPI treatment. A positive result for a patient on PPI could be considered as indicative of the presence of urease enzyme associated with H. pylori."
