Intended Use

The BiPAP® Synchrony™ HC is a non-invasive, pressure support ventilator used to

  • i) Augment the breathing of patients suffering from acute or chronic respiratory insufficiency
  • ii) Maintain airway patency and provide ventilatory support to patients who experience obstructive sleep apnea.
    It is not intended to provide the total ventilatory requirements of the patient.
    The BiPAP® Synchrony™ HC is intended for use with nasal masks and full-face masks as recommended by Respironics.

The BiPAP Synchrony is intended to provide non-invasive ventilation in adult patients (>30kg) for the treatment of respiratory insufficiency (a condition in which the patient can continue without ventilation for some period, such as overnight) or obstructive sleep apnea. The Synchrony ventilator is intended for use with nasal masks and fullface masks as recommended by Respironics.

Device Description

The BiPAP® Synchrony™ HC is a noninvasive pressure support ventilator and is classified under product code MNS (continuous ventilator, non-life supporting).
The BiPAP Synchrony HC provides therapy in the Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Spontaneous/Timed (S/T), Pressure Assist, and Timed modes.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a medical device, the BiPAP® Synchrony™ HC, and its substantial equivalence to a predicate device. It details the device's functions, intended use, and various tests performed to demonstrate its safety and effectiveness. However, the document does not contain the specific information required to answer your questions about acceptance criteria and a study that proves the device meets those criteria.

Here's why and what's missing:

  • No Acceptance Criteria Table: The document states that "Testing was performed to demonstrate that the performance of the BiPAP® Synchrony™ HC in its intended environment is as safe and effective as that of the legally marketed predicate device." It also mentions compliance with "standards referenced in the 'Draft FDA Reviewer Guidance for Ventilators,' July 1995 as well as with the 'Draft Reviewer Guidance for Premarket Notifications, 'November 1993." However, it does not provide a table outlining specific acceptance criteria (e.g., minimum accuracy percentages, maximum deviation values) for its performance and then reporting the device's measured performance against those criteria.
  • No Study Details: While the document confirms that "performance-related testing in addition to electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, mechanical and environmental testing" was conducted, it does not provide any details about a specific study (e.g., clinical trial, validation study) that would assess the device's performance against predefined acceptance criteria. Therefore, information regarding sample sizes, data provenance, expert qualifications, ground truth establishment, or comparative effectiveness studies is absent.

In summary, based on the provided text, I cannot answer your request as the necessary study details and acceptance criteria are not present. The document focuses on regulatory approval (510(k) submission) by demonstrating substantial equivalence, which is a different scope than detailing specific performance studies with acceptance criteria.

Substantial Equivalence

This premarket notification section 510(k) submission demonstrates that the BiPAP® Synchrony™ HC is substantially equivalent to, and has the same intended use as, the Respironics Quantum PSV.

Testing was performed to demonstrate that the performance of the BiPAP® Synchrony™ HC in its intended environment is as safe and effective as that of the legally marketed predicate device. The safety and effectiveness of BiPAP® Synchrony™ HC were verified through performance-related testing in addition to electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, mechanical and environmental testing. The BiPAP® Synchrony™ HC was tested and found compliant (as applicable for Code MNS)

with the standards referenced in the "Draft FDA Reviewer Guidance for Ventilators," July 1995 as well as with the "Draft Reviewer Guidance for Premarket Notifications, "November 1993.

Intended Use/Indications for Use

The BiPAP® Synchrony™ HC is a non-invasive, pressure support ventilator used to

  • i) Augment the breathing of patients suffering from acute or chronic respiratory insufficiency
  • ii) Maintain airway patency and provide ventilatory support to patients who experience obstructive sleep apnea.

It is not intended to provide the total ventilatory requirements of the patient.

The BiPAP® Synchrony™ HC is intended for use with nasal masks and full-face masks as recommended by Respironics.

Environment of Use/Patient Population

The BiP Synchrony™ HC is intended for use in the home, but may also be used in the hospital or other institutional settings.

The BiPAP® Synchrony™ HC is intended for adult patients (>30kg).

Brief Device Description

The BiPAP® Synchrony™ HC is a noninvasive pressure support ventilator and is classified under product code MNS (continuous ventilator, non-life supporting).

The BiPAP Synchrony HC provides therapy in the Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Spontaneous/Timed (S/T), Pressure Assist, and Timed modes.

CPAP Mode

In this mode, a clinician can set CPAP.

  • The device delivers CPAP to the patient at the CPAP setting. t

Spontaneous/Timed (S/T) Mode

The clinician sets IPAP, EPAP, Rate, and Inspiratory Time.

{2}------------------------------------------------

  • The device delivers patient-triggered, pressure-limited, patient-cycled breaths if the patient's . breathing rate is above the Rate setting.
  • The device delivers machine-triggered, pressure-limited, time-cycled breaths if the patient's . breathing rate falls below the Rate setting. The Inspiratory Time setting controls the triggering of the inspiratory phase. The Inspiratory Time setting does not affect the cycling of a spontaneous breath.

Pressure Assist Mode

The clinician sets IPAP, EPAP, Rate, and Inspiratory Time.

  • The device delivers machine or patient-triggered, pressure-limited, machine-cycled breaths. .
  • This mode is equivalent to the S/T mode with one exception: all breaths are machine-cycled and . therefore have a fixed Inspiratory Time. The patient may initiate a breath but all breaths will be pressure-limited (IPAP) and time-cycled. The cycle time is determined by the Inspiratory Time control setting.
  • The patient-controllable Rise Time may enhance patient-ventilator synchrony and patient . comfort.

Timed Mode

The clinician sets IPAP, EPAP, Rate, and Inspiratory Time.

  • The device delivers machine-triggered, machine-cycled breaths. The triggering is determined by ● the Rate control, and the cycle time is determined by the Inspiratory Time control.

Features

PERFORMANCE

  • I Provides non-invasive application of CPAP and bi-level pressure support ventilation.
  • Provides spontaneous triggering based on the Respironics Auto-Trak™ Sensitivity system. ■
  • Compensates for most leaks in the patient circuit and patient interface. E
  • Compensates the unit outlet pressure for flow based pressure drops in the patient circuit. ■

SAFETY

  • Provides built-in alarms for high pressure and low pressure. 월
  • 트 Provides internal circuit monitoring for safety.
  • I Provides an optional oxygen valve that closes when the blower is off, preventing oxygen flow.
  • 비 Provides a patient disconnect alarm with a time delay that is set by the clinician.
