No
The device description focuses on the physical components and materials of a nasal insert and tubing for ventilation, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
No.
The device is an accessory to respiratory ventilators, which are therapeutic devices, but the Nasal-Aire itself is a delivery mechanism for ventilation rather than a therapeutic device that directly treats a condition.
No
The device is described as an accessory to respiratory ventilators and ventilation devices, intended for delivering ventilation to patients, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components made of silicone and tubing, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is clearly stated as an accessory to respiratory ventilators for delivering mechanical assistance with breathing. This is a therapeutic and life-support function, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The description details a physical device for delivering air/ventilation to the patient's respiratory system. It does not involve the analysis of biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) which is a hallmark of IVDs.
- Lack of Diagnostic Purpose: There is no mention of the device being used to diagnose a disease, condition, or state of health. Its purpose is to provide respiratory support.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. The Nasal-Aire does not fit this description.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
Nasal-Aire is intended for use as an accessory to respiratory ventilators. Nasal-Aire is a nasal insert with attached tubing for connection with non-continuous ventilation devices. The simplicity of the Nasal-Aire design allows easy manipulation of the device. Soft, pliable silicone is used for the nasal insert portion of the device facilitates a comfortable fit of the device when in use. Ventilation is indicated for patients who require mechanical assistance with breathing.
Nasal Aire is an accessory to positive pressure ventilation devices (e.g. CPAP, Bi-level). It may also be used in respiratory insufficiencies if the patient can tolerate the excess dead space.
The Nasal-Aire cannot exhaust exhaled air therefore this device must be used with a ventilator that contains an active exhalation valve or with an intentional leak port added into the breathing circuit

Device Description
The Nasal-Aire accessory and associated tubing is intended for use in delivering ventilation to patients. The device consists of a hollow silicone elastomer under nose strip with molded nasal insert sleeves made from silicone elastomer. The under nose strip is fitted bilaterally with 3/8" Tygon® tubing which serves as conduits for ventilation. The tubing is joined to form a single ventilation conduit by a silicone elastomer "Y" coupling. The system is completed by the "Y" coupling connected to an adapter for connection to the main ventilators supply line. When the device is worn by the patient the under nose strip is positioned across the patient's upper lip and the silicone nasal inserts are inserted in the patient's nares. The tubing drapes over the patient's ears in the manner of standard nasal cannulae used for administering oxygen with the "Y" coupling positioned in front of the patient.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
A limited clinical study was conducted using the device to assess unintended leakage of respiratory gases during clinical use. In vivo tests with healthy subjects ventilated with up to 2 Liters at inspiration rates of 100Lpm confirmed that unintended leakage was negligible and did not adversely impact the effectiveness of the device,

The materials of which the device is manufactured are all standard medical grade materials with an established history of safe clinical use in similar therapeutic respiratory devices. Patient contact with all materials includes mucosal membrane contact for limited contact duration. The patient contacting materials used in the device are specified to meet the biocompatibility requirements identified in the FDA's Blue Book Memorandum G95-1 and in ANSI/AAMI/ISO Standard 10993 (Part 1) for both surface devices with limited skin contact of less than 24 hours and surface with limited duration mucosal membrane contact.

Dear Mr. Wood:
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 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.
