Intended Use
The Canogen Portable Oxygen Generator, Model 615 is intended to produce oxygen for emergency use.
Device Description
The Canogen Portable Oxygen Generator, Model 615 provides an average of 6.5 liters a minute for a minimum of 15 minutes, through a chemical reaction. The Canogen Portable Oxygen Generator, Model 615 consists of three parts. The first part is a reaction vessel in which the chemical reaction takes place. The reaction vessel may be reused. The second part is the cartridge containing the chemicals required to generate the oxygen produced by this device. The third part of the generator consists of the plastic tubing and gas mask which are attached to the outlet of the generator.

No
The description focuses on a chemical reaction to generate oxygen and bench testing of physical parameters, with no mention of AI or ML.

No

The device is intended for "emergency use" to produce oxygen, indicating it's for short-term, acute situations rather than continuous or ongoing therapeutic treatment of a disease or condition. While oxygen can be used therapeutically, the intended use here specifies emergency purposes.

No

Explanation: The device is an oxygen generator intended to produce oxygen for emergency use, not to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (reaction vessel, cartridge, tubing, gas mask) and a chemical reaction process, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the Canogen Portable Oxygen Generator, Model 615 is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "produce oxygen for emergency use." This is a therapeutic or life-support function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device generates oxygen through a chemical reaction and delivers it to a patient via tubing and a mask. This is a direct intervention on the body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD device, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in those samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or prognosis of a disease or condition

The device is clearly designed to provide a medical gas directly to a patient, which falls under the category of a therapeutic or life-support medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Bench test runs were conducted while using flow gauges, temperature sensors, data logger and pressure gauges to monitor performance characteristics during each run. The cartridge was inserted into the reaction vessel. The gas generated by the reaction was ported through plastic tubing to the flow sensor and manual flow gauges. For each test run the data acquisition system was used to log the flow rate, and temperatures.

The Canogen Portable Oxygen Generator. Model 615 was determined to produce humidified oxygen at a purity of greater than 99% for a minimum of fifteen (15) minutes at an average flow rate of six and a half (6.5) liters per minute.

Dear Ms. Mahall:

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. However, you are responsible to determine that the medical devices you use as components in the kit have either been determined as substantially equivalent under the premarket notification process (Section 510(k) of the act), or were legally on the market prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments. Please note: If you purchase your device components in bulk (i.e., unfinished) and further process (e.g., sterilize) you must submit a new 510(k) before including these components in your kit. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual reqistration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, and 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, FDA will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, the Food and Drug Administration (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 the labeling regulation (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.
