JEM Series Endotracheal Tube Changers are intended for single patient use. This device is intended for sale by or on the order of a physician. ## Device Story JEM Series Endotracheal Tube Changers are extruded high-density polyethylene tubes with open lumens and graduated markings; used by physicians in clinical settings to assist in the rapid replacement of endotracheal or orotracheal tubes. The device acts as a guide during the exchange process; the clinician inserts the changer to maintain airway access while the old tube is removed and a new tube is placed. The device is size-specific to match the inside diameter of the endotracheal tube being used. Benefits include a simplified, rapid technique for airway management, potentially reducing the time required for tube replacement and improving patient safety during the procedure. The device is for single-patient use. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics Extruded high-density polyethylene; open lumen design with graduated markings. Size-specific (non-interchangeable) models ranging from 2.5 mm to 7.5 mm I.D. Sterilization via ethylene oxide. Standalone mechanical device. ## Regulatory Identification A tracheal tube is a device inserted into a patient's trachea via the nose or mouth and used to maintain an open airway. ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

510(k)
submission | This Special 510(k) application is being submitted to notify the FDA of an
intended update to the JEM Endotracheal Tube Changers User Instructions to:

1. add ethylene oxide as a validated alternate sterilization method.
2. and to expand the directions and pictorials in the User Instruction
to assist our customers in the use of the JEM Endotracheal Tube
Changers.

At this time, we would also like to notify the FDA that the printing of the JEM
Endotracheal Tube Changers is now done at our Bethel Park location. | | Predicate
Device | No changes are being made to the devices, thus no Predicate Device is listed in
this summary.

On September 30, 1980, the FDA ruled that there were no similar devices marketed in the US, thus Premarket Notification was not possible. After additional testing, correspondence and review, Premarket Approval of the JEM 400 was issued by the FDA in 1981. In 1999 eight additional sizes of | | Page 2 of | | | | JEM tubes were granted approval through a PMA supplement. On December
9, 2004, a letter from the FDA Office of Device Evaluation was received
which stated that the JEM Series products were now subject to Class II
controls, rather than Class III. | | Device
Description | The JEM Series Endotracheal Tube Changer consists of an extruded open
lumen, imprinted with graduated markings. The graduated markings are used
as a guide for the successful replacement of a tracheal tube. | | Intended Use
of the Device | JEM Series Endotracheal Tube Changers provide a simple, rapid technique for
changing endotracheal and orotracheal tubes, with specific inside diameters.
JEM Series Endotracheal Tube Changers are intended for single patient use.
This device is intended for sale by or on the order of a physician. | | Technological
Characteristics | The JEM Series Endotracheal Tube Changer consists of an extruded open
lumen, imprinted with graduated markings. The length and diameters of the
JEM Endotracheal Tube Changers are size specific and are not
interchangeable. Each JEM Endotracheal Tube Changer is extruded of high
density polyethylene and is designed for a specific size of endotracheal tube as
follows:
JEM 325 fits 2.5 mm I.D. endotracheal tubes
JEM 330 fits 3.0 mm I.D. endotracheal tubes
JEM 340 fits 4.0 mm I.D. endotracheal tubes
JEM 350 fits 5.0 mm I.D. endotracheal tubes
JEM 355 fits 5.5 mm I.D. endotracheal tubes
JEM 360 fits 6.0 mm I.D. endotracheal tubes
JEM 365 fits 6.5 mm I.D. endotracheal tubes
JEM 370 fits 7.0 mm I.D. endotracheal tubes
JEM 400 fits 7.5 mm I.D. endotracheal tubes
JEM 401 is sold as a package containing one of each of the nine sizes. | | Performance | Use of a JEM Endotracheal Tube Changer assists a health professional in
safely changing out a used endotracheal tube for a fresh one in just a few
minutes. | Image /page/0/Picture/7 description: The image shows the logo for Instrumentation Industries, Inc. The logo consists of a stylized graphic to the left of the company name.
