More Information

Not Found

Not Found

No
The summary describes a pneumatically powered ventilator and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities, image processing, or data sets typically associated with AI/ML devices.

Yes
The device is a ventilator, which is used to treat respiratory distress or insufficiency, thus providing therapy.

No
Explanation: The device is a ventilator used for patient ventilation, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device is described as a "pneumatically powered ventilator," which inherently implies a hardware component for delivering air. The summary does not mention any software-only functionality.

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 device is for patient ventilation during respiratory distress or insufficiency. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: While the description is "Not Found," the intended use is the primary indicator of whether a device is an IVD.
  • Mentions image processing, AI, DNN, or ML: These are often associated with IVDs that analyze images or data for diagnostic purposes, and they are not mentioned here.
  • Input Imaging Modality, Anatomical Site, Indicated Patient Age Range: These are not relevant to the function described.
  • Intended User / Care Setting: The users and settings are consistent with a device used for direct patient care and support, not laboratory testing.

IVDs are devices intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood, tissue, and urine, from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The babyPAC ventilator does not fit this description.

Dear Mr. Gray:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we 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 (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Requlations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any

obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4618. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its tollfree number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its internet address "http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html".
