The Puritan-Bennett Aeris 590 oxygen concentrator with OCI is intended to provide supplemental oxygen to patients who may have difficulty extracting oxygen from the air that they breathe. It is intended to be used with both pediatric and adult patients. It is not intended as life sustaining or life supporting device. The device has no contraindications.
An oxygen concentrator takes in room air, filters it and separates the nitrogen from the air under pressure, allowing only oxygen and trace gases to pass through to the oxygen outlet connection to the patient while exhausting a nitrogen-rich air mixture back into the room. The principle components of the Aeris 590 oxygen concentrator include a compressor, two molecular sieve containers, a valve system and a printed circuit board. The compressor draws in room air, pressurizes it and forces it through the pneumatic circuit of the device. As the air passes through one sieve container, the nitrogen bonds with the molecular sieve material within the pressurized container and allows only the oxygen and trace gases to flow out of the container. This oxygen rich mixture (+90% oxygen) is then delivered to the patient at a regulated pressure and flowrate. The valve system regulates the airflow through the sieve containers alternately. While one is pressurized and producing oxygen, the other is being depressurized and exhausting the nitrogen in preparation for the next cycle. A programmable logic device on the printed circuit board controls the timing of this cycling process. The OCI (Oxygen Concentration Indicator) provides an indication of the oxygen concentration of the output gas and includes alarm features.

- Adjudication Method: Not Applicable. This concept is relevant for studies involving human interpretation or subjective assessments, which are not described here.
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
- MRMC Study: No. This is not an AI/ML device, and no MRMC study comparing human readers (or users) with and without AI assistance was performed or is relevant to this device.
- Effect Size: Not Applicable.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Standalone Performance: Not Applicable. This device is a hardware oxygen concentrator with embedded software; it is not an algorithm evaluated in a standalone manner in the context of an AI/ML device. Its "performance" is inherent to its functionality.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
- Type of Ground Truth: Primarily engineering specifications, validated measurement standards, and performance against defined physical and electrical parameters. For oxygen concentration, the ground truth would be established by calibrated oxygen analyzers.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Sample Size for Training Set: Not Applicable. This is not an AI/ML device, so there's no "training set" in the machine learning sense. The device is designed and manufactured based on engineering principles.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- How Ground Truth was Established: Not Applicable. As there is no training set for an AI/ML model, there is no ground truth established in that context. Device design and validation are based on engineering standards and performance targets.

Device Description
An oxygen concentrator takes in room air, filters it and separates the nitrogen from the air under pressure, allowing only oxygen and trace gases to pass through to the oxygen outlet connection to the patient while exhausting a nitrogen-rich air mixture back into the room. The principle components of the Aeris 590 oxygen concentrator include a compressor, two molecular sieve containers, a valve system and a printed circuit board. The
{1}------------------------------------------------
compressor draws in room air, pressurizes it and forces it through the pneumatic circuit of the device. As the air passes through one sieve container, the nitrogen bonds with the molecular sieve material within the pressurized container and allows only the oxygen and trace gases to flow out of the container. This oxygen rich mixture (+90% oxygen) is then delivered to the patient at a regulated pressure and flowrate. The valve system regulates the airflow through the sieve containers alternately. While one is pressurized and producing oxygen, the other is being depressurized and exhausting the nitrogen in preparation for the next cycle. A programmable logic device on the printed circuit board controls the timing of this cycling process. The OCI (Oxygen Concentration Indicator) provides an indication of the oxygen concentration of the output gas and includes alarm features.
Intended Use
The Aeris 590 oxygen concentrator with OCI is intended to provide supplemental oxygen to patients who may have difficulty extracting oxygen from the air that they breathe. The patient would normally receive the oxygen mixture via a nasal cannula. The device delivers over 90% oxygen at flow rates ranging from 0 to 5 liters per minute. It is primarily intended to be used in the patient's homes but may also be used in nursing homes or sub-acute care environments. It is not intended as life sustaining or life supporting device. The device has no contraindications.
Comparison of Technological Characteristics
The Aeris 590 with OCI will continue to use the same enclosure, the same compressor assembly, the same methods of gas filtration, the same method of pressure regulation and the same molecular sieve material as the Companion 590 device. It will continue to have the same audible and visual alarms as the unmodified device and the same set of accessories are also specified. Both devices are capable of supplying oxygen at flow rates of 0 to 5 L/min.
The intended use of the device remains unchanged as does its risk classification. The modified device will continue to be indicated for use for both pediatric and adult patients and will continue to be a prescription only devices are intended only as sources of supplemental oxygen and are not intended to be life supporting devices. Neither device have any contraindications.
The valve system in the Companion 590 is a pneumatic valve system controlled by low voltage solenoids. In the Aeris 590, the valve system has changed to a directly actuated valve system. The reservoir tank has been removed from the pneumatic circuit of the Aeris 590 and the sieve canister assembly has been made easier to assembly.
The oxygen concentration performance of the Companion 590 has been improved in the Aeris 590. It has an improved tolerance in the 1 to 4 L/min range and performs better at 5 L/min.
