Intended Use
The Model 8660 Series Nebulizers have the same intended use as their predicate device, The Salter Model 8900 Nebulizer, which was cleared for marketing by 510(k) No. K870027. The nebulizer is a reusable single patient use device (whereas the 8900 is a disposable single patient use device) which is used where liquids are to be delivered to a patient in an aerosol form. The device is not life-supporting or life-sustaining, nor is it implanted . It does not use software, nor is it sterile, although it must be cleaned or disinfected per the label instructions before reuse. The device is for single patient use. It is intended to be used with accessories, such tubing which is an industry standard device used with nebulizers.
Device Description
Each of the Salter Labs 8660 Series Nebulizers consists of a Nebulizer Top which is screwed onto a Nebulizer Cup. The bottom of the cup has a fitting to accept a source of nebulizing gas. Liquids to be nebulized are placed in the nebulizer cup. The nebulizer housing is then applied, and the supply line for the nebulizing gas source is then connected to the bottom of the nebulizer cup. After the pressurized nebulizing gas is applied to the nebulizer, the solution in the cup is nebulized and pushed from the unit in aerosol form that can be inhaled by the patient.
More Information

No
The device description explicitly states "It does not use software". AI/ML capabilities are typically implemented through software.

Yes
The device is used to deliver liquids in an aerosol form to a patient, which directly implies a therapeutic action (drug delivery).

No
Explanation: The description states the device is used to deliver liquids in an aerosol form to a patient, functioning as a delivery mechanism rather than a tool for diagnosis or evaluation of a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states that the device is a physical nebulizer consisting of a Nebulizer Top and Nebulizer Cup, and explicitly states "It does not use software".

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is used to deliver liquids to a patient in an aerosol form for inhalation. This is a therapeutic delivery method, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details how the device nebulizes liquids for inhalation. This process is for administering medication or other substances directly to the patient's respiratory system.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening

The device is a medical device used for drug delivery, not for performing diagnostic tests.

The Model 8660 Series Nebulizers are the same as their predicate device except:

Each includes an internal reservoir for the aerosol, which eliminates the need for the externalitee adapter and reservoir tube

The 8660 Series is reusable on a single patient, whereas the 8900 is a disposable single-use device.

The 8660 series is constructed of different materials to allow autoclaving.

The 8660 Series has different labeling, which includes cleaning and disinfecting instructions.

The 8660 Series includes an inspiratory valve in the nebulizer top.

The 8660 Series includes an expiratory valve in its mouthpiece.

None of these differences has a significant effect on the safety or effectiveness of the device.
