Intended Use
Use of the Servo Ventilator 300A is indicated for adult, pediatric or neonatal patient populations in an environment where patient care is provided by Healthcare Professionals (Physician, Nurse, Technician), when the professional determines that a device is required to assist the breathing of the patient. The device can be used both for controlling the entire ventilation for patients without any ability to breathe, as well as for supporting patients with reduced ability.
Device Description
The Servo Ventilator 300A is a modification of the Servo Ventilator 300 which was found Substantially Equivalent on October 25, 1996 (Premarket Notification K960010). The physical differences between the Servo Ventilator 300 and the Servo Ventilator 300A consist of a software change and adding of a new printed circuit board as well as a new switch and two LED's on the front panel. In the Servo Ventilator 300A a new functionality called Automode has been added, which is a method that, by using functionality from existing breathing modes, allows the patient to better interact with the ventilator. Each controlled mode has a corresponding supported mode. This gives the possibility for the ventilator to react on patient effort - triggering, and lack of effort - apnea. Essentially the ventilator can be set in two states, support or control. Which of these states that are active is determined by a pre-defined algorithm.
More Information

No
The description mentions a "pre-defined algorithm" for switching between ventilation states, which is characteristic of traditional rule-based programming, not AI/ML. There is no mention of learning, training data, or adaptive algorithms based on patient data.

Yes
Explanation: The device is described as assisting or controlling the breathing of a patient, which directly addresses a physiological function and provides therapy.

No

Explanation: The device description and intended use clearly state its function as assisting or controlling patient breathing, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one. While it reacts to patient effort, this is part of its therapeutic control, not intended for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states that the Servo Ventilator 300A includes a software change and the addition of a new printed circuit board, a new switch, and two LEDs on the front panel. This indicates the presence of hardware components beyond just 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 "assist the breathing of the patient." This is a therapeutic function, directly interacting with the patient's respiratory system.
  • Device Description: The description details a ventilator, a device that provides mechanical ventilation. This is a life support device, not a diagnostic tool.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing information about a patient's health status based on in vitro testing.
    • Using reagents or assays.

In summary, the Servo Ventilator 300A is a medical device used for respiratory support, which falls under a different regulatory category than In Vitro Diagnostics.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The Servo Ventilator 300A is intended for general and critical ventilatory care. This software and hardware enhancement will adapt the ventilator status to the patient’s breathing efforts, by automatic switching between controlled and supported breathing.

The ventilator will deliver controlled or supported breaths to the patient, with either constant flow or constant pressure, using a set oxygen concentration. The operator can choose to either set the desired pressure or the desired minute volume. This device will produce visual and audible alarms if any of these parameters vary beyond preset limits and produce timed or alarm recordings.

Use of the Servo Ventilator 300A is indicated for adult, pediatric or neonatal patient populations in an environment where patient care is provided by Healthcare Professionals (Physician, Nurse, Technician), when the professional determines that a device is required to assist the breathing of the patient. The device can be used both for controlling the entire ventilation for patients without any ability to breathe, as well as for supporting patients with reduced ability.

Device Description

The Servo Ventilator 300A is a modification of the Servo Ventilator 300 which was found Substantially Equivalent on October 25, 1996 (Premarket Notification K960010). The physical differences between the Servo Ventilator 300 and the Servo Ventilator 300A consist of a software change and adding of a new printed circuit board as well as a new switch and two LED's on the front panel.

In the Servo Ventilator 300A a new functionality called Automode has been added, which is a method that, by using functionality from existing breathing modes, allows the patient to better interact with the ventilator. Each controlled mode has a corresponding supported mode. This gives the possibility for the ventilator to react on patient effort - triggering, and lack of effort - apnea. Essentially the ventilator can be set in two states, support or control. Which of these states that are active is determined by a pre-defined algorithm.

Coupled modes:

Volume Control (VC) $ \Leftrightarrow $ Volume Support (VS)
Pressure Control (PC) $ \Leftrightarrow $ Pressure Support (PS)
Pressure Regulated Volume Control (PRVC) $ \Leftrightarrow $ Volume Support (VS)

When Automode is activated and the ventilator is in PC, VC or PRVC, a switch from the controlled breathing pattern to supported will be induced if the patient triggers two consecutive breaths. In the case of apnea lasting longer than 5 seconds for Neonate, 8 seconds for Pediatric or 12 seconds for Adult, the ventilator will switch back to controlled ventilation with the current settings now applicable to the controlled mode.

A possibility for the patient to interrupt the inspiration and initiate an exhalation is added during controlled breaths in Automode PRVC or PC. This change is made to further adapt the ventilation to the patient.

Device Description

The Servo Ventilator 300A is a modification of the Servo Ventilator 300 which was found Substantially Equivalent on October 25, 1996 (Premarket Notification K960010). The physical differences between the Servo Ventilator 300 and the Servo Ventilator 300A consist of a software change and adding of a new printed circuit board as well as a new switch and two LED's on the front panel.

In the Servo Ventilator 300A a new functionality called Automode has been added, which is a method that, by using functionality from existing breathing modes, allows the patient to better interact with the ventilator. Each controlled mode has a corresponding supported mode. This gives the possibility for the ventilator to react on patient effort - triggering, and lack of effort - apnea. Essentially the ventilator can be set in two states, support or control. Which of these states that are active is determined by a pre-defined algorithm.

Coupled modes:

Volume Control (VC)$ \Leftrightarrow $Volume Support (VS)
Pressure Control (PC)$ \Leftrightarrow $Pressure Support (PS)
Pressure Regulated Volume Control (PRVC)$ \Leftrightarrow $Volume Support (VS)

When Automode is activated and the ventilator is in PC, VC or PRVC, a switch from the controlled breathing pattern to supported will be induced if the patient triggers two consecutive breaths. In the case of apnea lasting longer than 5 seconds for Neonate, 8 seconds for Pediatric or 12 seconds for Adult, the ventilator will switch back to controlled ventilation with the current settings now applicable to the controlled mode.

A possibility for the patient to interrupt the inspiration and initiate an exhalation is added during controlled breaths in Automode PRVC or PC. This change is made to further adapt the ventilation to the patient.

Intended Use

The Servo Ventilator 300A is intended for general and critical ventilatory care for use on Adult, Pediatric, Infant and Neonatal patients. The unit is designed to be used at the bedside and for in-hospital transport. It is not intended for transport use in ambulances or helicopters in the U.S. market.

The intended use for Servo Ventilator 300A is the same as for the Servo Ventilator 300.

Comparison of Technological Characteristics

The hardware modification, compared to the original Servo Ventilator 300, is that a new knob has been added on the front panel, to make it possible to switch the Automode functionality on and off. If the Automode switch is in the off position, the functionality of the Servo Ventilator 300A is identical to the functionality of the Servo Ventilator 300.

The switching between controlled and supported modes that is done automatically with Automode has always been possible to do manually on the Servo Ventilator 300. For some of the supported modes in Servo Ventilator 300, the Automode functionality improves the safety for the patient, by doing an automatic switch to a controlled mode in case of apnea, instead of just giving an alarm.

Tests Used in Determination of Substantial Equivalence

The design of the Servo Ventilator 300A has been thoroughly validated at the unit, subsystem and system level. All different settings of the new functionality was tested, as well as all the ventilation modes and the complete alarm system. All test were passed according to criteria that are equal or more stringent than the test criteria which were applied to the predicate device.

A clinical test has also been performed to evaluate the automatic switching between controlled and supported ventilation.

Conclusion

Analysis and tests has shown that the new functionality Automode improves the adaptation of the ventilator to the patient needs, as well as the ease of use of the device, without adversely affecting patient safety.

Therefor, we conclude that the requirements specifications and validation testing show that the modified device is as safe and effective, and performs as well or better as the predicate device.
