More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and claims focus on mechanical principles (vibrating positive expiratory pressure) for secretion clearance and lung expansion. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would suggest the use of such technologies.

Yes
The device is used to treat conditions and symptoms such as improving secretion clearance, opening airways, and preventing/reversing atelectasis in patients with lung diseases, which falls under the definition of a therapeutic device.

No

The device is indicated for therapeutic purposes (secretion clearance, lung expansion, opening airways) rather than for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "hand held secretion clearance and lung expansion device that creates vibrating positive expiratory pressure when a patient exhales through the device," indicating it is a physical hardware device.

Based on the provided information, the DHD Roadrunner is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The intended use is as a Positive Expiratory Pressure (PEP) device for secretion clearance and lung expansion. This is a therapeutic and mechanical function, not a diagnostic one performed on in vitro samples.
  • Device Description: The description details a hand-held device that creates vibrating positive expiratory pressure. This is a physical interaction with the patient's respiratory system, not an analysis of biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. The DHD Roadrunner's function falls outside of this definition.

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

The bench & human testing compares Roadrunner to Flutter and against its own performance specifications. Roadrunner is compared to DHD's TheraPEP® device as a marketed PEP device with similar claims. In each test or comparison, the Roadrunner Device was shown to be substantially equivalent to the predicates and met its specifications. For the indications for use, the DHD Roadrunner performs substantially equivalent to the predicate devices, Flutter® and TheraPEP®.

Device Description:

The DHD Roadrunner is indicated for use as a single patient use, hand held secretion clearance and lung expansion device that creates vibrating positive expiratory pressure when a patient exhales through the device.

Intended Use:

Positive Expiratory Pressure (PEP) Therapy

Technological Characteristics Compared to Predicate:

Roadrunner. TheraPEP and Flutter are all PEP devices providing positive expiratory pressure. Roadrunner and Flutter offer the added vibration feature during exhalation. All three devices improve secretion clearance, reduce the need for postural drainage, facilitate the opening of airways, and prevent or reverse atelectasis. Roadrunner offers some additional features over Flutter by allowing inhalation without removing the device from the patient's mouth, allowing the device to perform in any spatial orientation, accommodating patients with very low flowrates and allowing patients to adjust frequency and pressure with the use of an external knob.

Summary of Studies:

The bench & human testing compares Roadrunner to Flutter and against its own performance specifications. Roadrunner is compared to DHD's TheraPEP®(2) device as a marketed PEP device with similar claims. In each test or comparison, the

Roadrunner Device was shown to be substantially equivalent to the predicates and met its specifications.

Conclusion Drawn from Studies

For the indications for use, the DHD Roadrunner performs substantially equivalent to the predicate devices, Flutter® and TheraPEP®. In the opinion of DHD, it is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices and does not adversely affect safety and effectiveness compared to the predicate devices.

Dear Mr. Weinstein:

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 requlations 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.
