Intended Use

A Nebulizer system designed to aerosolize commonly prescribed liquid medication ( except Pentamidine) for inhalation by the patient in the home care, nursing home or hospital environment.

Device Description

The Medic-Aid HaloLite AAD system is a single patient use, prescribed portable nebulizer designed to deliver a precise and reproducible dose of aerosolized liquid medication. The device consists of a hand-piece containing a pressure transducer, a microprocessor control system, and a medication chamber, based on the Medic-Aid -Ventstream Nebulizer, K933535, and mouthpiece.

The HaloLite system analyses the patient's breathing pattern to determine the aerosol pulse time. The system then pulses aerosol during inspiration only. Each pulse of aerosol is matched according to the inspiratory time. HaloLite continues to monitor the breathing pattern in order to adapt to changes in breathing throughout the treatment. When the preset dose has been delivered, the system indicates that the treatment is complete.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the Medic-Aid HaloLite AAD system, a nebulizer. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than presenting a detailed study with acceptance criteria and performance data in the format requested. Therefore, much of the requested information is not available in the provided document.

Here's an attempt to answer based on the available information, with clear indications where the information is "Not Provided":

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

  • Sample Size: Not Provided.
  • Data Provenance: Not Provided. The document describes the device and compares it to predicate devices, but does not detail a specific test study with a described sample set. It's likely that performance data was generated internally for technical verification, but the specifics are not included in this summary.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

  • Number of Experts: Not Provided.
  • Qualifications of Experts: Not Provided.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

  • Adjudication Method: Not Provided.

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

  • This device is a nebulizer, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool. Therefore, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving human readers and AI assistance is Not Applicable and was not performed.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

  • This device is a hardware nebulizer with a microprocessor, not a standalone algorithm. Therefore, a standalone algorithm-only performance study is Not Applicable and was not performed. The device's "standalone" performance would relate to its ability to accurately deliver aerosolized medication. While the document mentions "accurate method of dose measurement," specific study details are not provided here.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

  • Type of Ground Truth: Not Provided in terms of a formal study assessing device performance. The "ground truth" for substantial equivalence is based on the features and performance of legally marketed predicate devices. The device's own performance would be verified against engineering specifications, likely through bench testing, but the methodology and "ground truth" for those tests are not detailed here.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Sample Size: Not Applicable. This is a hardware medical device (nebulizer), not an AI/machine learning model that would require a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

  • Ground Truth Establishment: Not Applicable. As this is not an AI/machine learning model, no training set or ground truth for a training set was established.

Differences Between Other Legally Marketed Predicate Devices

The differences between the intended device, HaloLite, and the predicates are -

    1. The HaloLite system provides a hand-held, user-friendly device compared with the bench-mounted Vortran - AutoNeb which requires tubes to interconnect between the AutoNeb and a standard nebulizer.
    1. The HaloLite is micro-processor controlled device. This permits the HaloLite device to operate across a wide range of patient ages and breathing patterns, without requiring any calibration or adjustment to sensitivity settings as required by the AutoNeb. The system can also adapt to any changes in the breathing pattern and adjust to the aerosol pulse time throughout the treatment. Each aerosol pulse is

summed to provide an accurate method of dose measurement so that a pre-set dose can be delivered. The HaloLite operates over a pulse range of 0.15 to 2.0 seconds compared to the Vortran AutoNeb 0.5 to 5.0 seconds. This range has been selected as being the most appropriate to match the patient's inhalation.

    1. The Vortran AutoNeb can also be used to deliver a pre-set dose. This requires setting the controls for each patient's breathing pattern, and counting the number of pulses delivered to the patient. This is achieved automatically with the HaloLite, the press of a button initiates treatment and when the pre-set dose has been delivered the device signals that the treatment has been completed. This system provides ease of use for both the physician and the patient. The Vortran - AutoNeb is operated from 115 volt mains supply, and the HaloLite is powered by an internal replaceable 9 volt battery.
      There is no other differences between the intended device and the predicate devices which would be significant to patient safety or effectiveness.

Re: K981772 HaloLite AAD System Regulatory Class: II (two) Product Code: 73 CAF Dated: September 8, 1998 Received: September 9, 1998

Dear Mr. Dryden:

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 Regulations, 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 requlation (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 requlation may result in requlatory 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.

{5}------------------------------------------------

Page 2 - Mr. Paul E. Dryden

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 requlation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4648. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification"(21 CFR 807.97). Other qeneral information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597, or at its internet address "http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html".
