More Information

No reference devices were used in this submission.

No
The device is a sterile saline solution for inhalation, and the description focuses on its chemical composition, packaging, and intended use with nebulizers. There is no mention of any computational or analytical components that would utilize AI/ML.

No.
This device is a Sodium Chloride Inhalation Solution, which is a drug product used in conjunction with a nebulizer or for tracheal irrigation/lavage. While it is used in a therapeutic context (respiratory therapy), it is not itself a therapeutic device like a nebulizer or other hardware.

No

Explanation: The device is a Sodium Chloride Inhalation Solution, which is used for therapeutic purposes such as inducing sputum production or for tracheal irrigation/lavage, not for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a sterile, preservative-free Sodium Chloride Inhalation Solution, provided in concentrations and supplied in single-use low density polyethylene (LDPE) vials. This describes a physical product, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the solution is for "induction of sputum production" or as "accessories to medicinal non-ventilatory nebulizers in respiratory therapy and for tracheal irrigation or lavage." These are therapeutic or procedural uses, not diagnostic testing performed in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the composition and packaging of a sterile solution for inhalation or irrigation.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing information for diagnosis.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies described are related to the physical and chemical properties of the solution and its container, not the accuracy or performance of a diagnostic test.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is administered to the body for therapeutic or procedural purposes.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Design verification testing was conducted to ensure the device met the predetermined acceptance criteria for the following tests: Identity, Assay, pH, endotoxin, sterility, fill weight, vial attributes, and vial function (i.e., vial separation, cap removal, occluded orifice, etc.). All results met the predetermined acceptance criteria.
A biocompatibility risk assessment was performed in accordance with the FDA Guidance Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices - Part 1: Evaluation and Testing within a Risk Management Process." Chemical characterization was performed on the final LDPE containers per ISO 10993-18, "Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 18: Chemical characterization of medical device materials within a risk management process" and assessed extractable constituents based on the principles of ISO 10993-17:2002, "Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 17: Establishment of allowable limits for leachable substances." The extraction solvent was selected in alignment with the recommendations of ISO 10993-12:2021, "Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 12: Sample preparation and reference materials."
A validated, equivalent bacterial endotoxin test has been used in place of the in vivo rabbit pyrogen test in accordance with USP , met the requirements for the absence of pyrogens.

Dear Parimal Upadhyay:

We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrb/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898.
