The CO2 Sampling lines are the single patient, disposable device intended for monitoring expired gases from the patient.
Environment of use – hospital, sub-acute, and pre-hospital settings.
Patient population – Patients requiring expired gas monitoring.
Barbaras Development Inc. CO2 Sampling lines are the accessories in breathing system and intended for sampling of exhaled gases for monitoring, typically end-tidal CO2.
The Barbaras Development Inc. CO2 sampling lines are used to connect between the patient's end of the breathing system and the distant analyzer, such as the capnograph monitor, along this tube, the patient's breath is continuously sampled. the gas sampling is exhaust only and there is no gas flow back to patient.
The Barbaras Development Inc. CO2 Sampling Lines are a disposable, single patient use that allow to sample of patients exhaled gases. It consists of flexible extruded plastic tubes with and standard connectors on each end. We will present several different configurations like have the filter or without filter in the middle which have been tested and compared to predicates.
The Barbaras Development Inc. CO2 Sampling Lines are offered in the following models: 0184 CO2 Sampling line, 0184T CO2 Sampling line, 0139 CO2 Sampling line, 0182 CO2 Sampling line.
Gas sampling devices are not specific to a particular exhaled gas monitor. Almost all gas sampling line are connected to the monitor via a standard luer fitting, whether it is a female or male fitting.
The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter details the clearance of CO2 Sampling lines manufactured by Barbaras Development Inc. The clearance is based on substantial equivalence to a predicate device, Tylenol Medical Instruments Co., Ltd - K181981 - CO2 sampling line, and a reference device, ProMedic – Gas Sampling Lines – K023579.
It's important to note that this document is a 510(k) summary for a medical device that is an accessory (CO2 sampling lines) and not an AI/ML powered diagnostic or prognostic tool. Therefore, many of the requested elements, such as MRMC studies, effect size of AI assistance, standalone algorithm performance, number of experts for ground truth, adjudication methods, and training set details, are not applicable to this type of device and are not present in the provided text. The evaluation focuses on physical characteristics, material compatibility, and basic performance parameters against established standards.
Here's the breakdown of the available information based on your request:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The provided document describes "Non-Clinical Testing Summary" and "Performance testing" categories, indicating that these were the acceptance criteria for the device.

Dear Paul Dryden:
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/cdrh/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. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

510(k) Summary
Page 2 of 5
The Barbaras Development Inc. CO2 Sampling Lines are offered in the following models: 0184 CO2 Sampling line, 0184T CO2 Sampling line, 0139 CO2 Sampling line, 0182 CO2 Sampling line.
Gas sampling devices are not specific to a particular exhaled gas monitor. Almost all gas sampling line are connected to the monitor via a standard luer fitting, whether it is a female or male fitting.
Principle of Operation
The subject device is a gas sampling line that connects between the patient and the sampling monitor. The monitor uses vacuum to pull a small sample of expired gas from the patient through the breathing circuit. It is a conduit for a gas sample to be taken from the patient directly to the gas monitor.
Indications for Use:
The CO2 Sampling lines are the single patient, disposable device intended for use when monitoring patient expired gases.
Environment of use – hospital, sub-acute, and pre-hospital settings.
Patient population – Patients requiring expired gas monitoring.
Patient Population: Patients requiring expired gas monitoring.
Environments of use: Hospital, sub-acute, and pre-hospital settings.
Substantial Equivalence Discussion
The table below compares the key features of the proposed CO2 sampling lines with the identified predicate, K181981 and it demonstrates that the subject devices can be found to be substantially equivalent. The reference device – Gas Sampling Lines – K023579 – has the same size ID as the largest subject device ID. It also lists lines with in-line filter.
In summary, it can be concluded that substantial equivalence is met based on the following discussions:
Indications for Use –
The indications for use are similar for the proposed device when compared to the predicate.
Discussion – Each device is indicated for use sampling expired gases.
Technology and construction –
The design, configurations, shape, size, etc. are equivalent to the predicate and reference.
Discussion of Differences –
The design incorporates a simple means to interface with the patient interfaces with sampling ports such as breathing/ventilator circuit. There are virtually no differences between the proposed devices
Page 7
510(k) Summary
Page 3 of 5
and the predicate. Any difference in performance does not raise any different risk concerns compared to the predicate or reference.
Environment of Use –
The environments of use are identical to predicate.
Discussion –There are no differences in the requirements of each environment of use which would raise any new safety concerns when compared to the predicate.
Patient Population –
The patient population of pediatrics to adults is equivalent to the predicate. However, the population is dictated by the gas monitor indications to which the sample line is attached.
Discussion – The patient populations are equivalent to the predicate.
Non-Clinical Testing Summary –
We performed comparative testing of the appropriate performance functions and features.
The tests included:
- Age testing
- Mechanical testing
- Luer Fitting per ISO 80369-7
- Flow / leaks per ISO 80601-2-55
- Strength of bonds
- Tensile Strength
The results show that the subject devices performed equivalent to the predicate. All testing demonstrated that the subject devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate.
Substantial Equivalence Conclusion
The sponsor has demonstrated through performance testing, design and features, and non-clinical testing that the proposed device and predicate have been found to be substantially equivalent.
