Indications for Use
The Fisher & Paykel Healthcare MR850 Humidifier is intended to be used to warm and add humidity to gases delivered to patients requiring mechanical ventilation or positive pressure breathing assistance or general medical gases. The heated-wire breathing circuits are intended as conduits of breathing gas for ventilation of patients, and to maintain the temperature of humidified inspired gas, to reduce condensation. They are accessories for the Fisher & Paykel Healthcare MR850 Respiratory Gas Humidifier. The RT130 is used for flow rates between 0.3 and 4 L/min, and the RT131 is for flow rates greater than 4 L/min, for neonatal patients.
Device Story
MR850 Respiratory Humidifier is a heated pass-over humidifier; adds moisture and heat to dry medical gases. Inputs: temperature and flow parameters via sensors at chamber and patient airway ends. Operation: microprocessor-controlled PID algorithm manages heater plate and heated-wire breathing circuits to maintain gas temperature/humidity. Outputs: humidified gas at 37°C (Intubated Mode) or 31°C (Mask Mode); visual/audible alarms for high temperature, inadequate humidity, or equipment setup errors. Used in clinical settings by healthcare providers. Benefits: prevents respiratory tract damage/irritation and secretion desiccation in patients with bypassed upper airways. Features thermoplastic enclosure, serial data interface, and mounting bracket.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical verification studies confirmed safety, effectiveness, and performance. The device successfully provided required temperature and humidification output across various respiratory gas therapies. Results indicated low user intervention requirements and reduced susceptibility to user error. No new hazards were introduced by modified components.
Technological Characteristics
Thermoplastic enclosure; heated pass-over humidification; PID algorithm microprocessor control; dual-sensor temperature/flow probes; heated-wire breathing circuits. Complies with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, UL 2601-1, ISO 8185, and ASTM F1690. Connectivity includes serial data interface port.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring mechanical ventilation, positive pressure breathing assistance, or general medical gases, including neonatal patients. Contraindicated for patients where humidification of medical gases is not required.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

## 510(K) Summary
Contact person Brett Whiston Date prepared 4 April 2003 Trade name MR850 Respiratory Humidifier Common name Respiratory Humidifier Respiratory Gas Humidifier (21 CFR § 868.5450) Classification name MR850 Respiratory Humidifier, K983112 Predicate device Airlife Breathing Circuit, K000697
{1}------------------------------------------------
#### Description of device
The MR850 Humidifier is a Respiratory Gas Humidifier (heated pass-over type) according to 21 CFR §868.5450. Heat is used to provide evaporated water content to dry breathing gases. Heated breathing tubes are also utilized in order to increase operating efficiency and reduce excessive water and heat loss.
The MR850 has a thermoplastic enclosure with dimensions of 140 mm high × 135 mm wide × 173 mm deep, and weighs 2.8 kg. A heater plate is positioned in the top of the unit, where the enclosure rim and finger guard allow a humidification chamber to be added. Temperature probe and heater wire connection sockets are on the right side of the unit. A serial data interface port is located in the underside of the unit, with a mounting bracket at the back of the device.
The unit controls and displays are located on the front panel. Controls consist of power, operating mode and alarm mute buttons. A setup / alarm display indicates if a part of the equipment is incorrectly installed, or type of alarm condition occurring.
Accessories for the MR850 Humidification chambers, breathing circuits, electrical adaptors and temperature / flow probes.
The chamber slides on to the heater plate and contains the water supply for adding humidity to breathing gases. The breathing circuit transports gases to the patient, and includes sections for connection from ventilator to humidifier, inspiratory limb to the patient, and expiratory limb for return to the ventilator. Heated wires in the inspiratory and expiratory limbs prevent condensation. The electrical adaptor supplies power to the heated wires. The temperature / flow probe has sensors at the chamber and patient airway ends of the inspiratory section for heater control.
The MR850 Humidifier has two operating modes. Intubated Mode is used for patients who have bypassed upper airways, and delivers humidified gas to the patient at 37 ℃ (body temperature). Mask Mode is used for patients receiving breathing gases via a face mask, and delivers humidified gas to the patient at 31 °C. The MR850 Humidifier monitors temperature, flow parameters and equipment integrity, in order to maintain stable performance conditions. It will also notify the user of high delivered temperature. inadequate delivered humidity, or incorrect equipment set-up conditions.
#### Intended use
The MR850 Humidifier is intended to add moisture to, and to warm, the breathing gases for administration to a patient. Gases available for medical use do not contain sufficient moisture and may damage or irritate the respiratory tract, or desiccate secretions of patients whose supraglottic airways have been bypassed.
This may be indicated for patients requiring mechanical ventilation, positive pressure breathing assistance, or general medical gases. These gases may be delivered by face mask or through bypassing the upper airways, for example use of an endotracheal tube.
{2}------------------------------------------------
#### Technological Characteristics Summary
The technological characteristics of the MR850 Humidifier are equivalent to the predicate devices.
The MR850 is equivalent to the MR730 and HC500 Humidifiers in terms of: type (heated passover humidification), configuration (chamber, heated wire breathing circuits, dualsensor temperature probe), power usage (same heater system ratings), performance (same temperature and humidity output), control method (electronic and PID algorithm microprocessor), and uses equivalent materials and some common components.
The MR850 is equivalent to the 7200 Ventilator in terms of the use of heated-wire flowsensing technology for respiratory gas flow-sensing purposes.
#### Discussion of the Non-Clinical Tests
Non-clinical testing of the MR850 Humidifier has been carried out covering mechanical, electrical and thermal safety, environmental conditions and electromagnetic compatibility, functional verification, and performance capacity and accuracy.
The MR850 meets the requirements of the IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2 electro-medical and EMC standards, and the relevant USA deviations to these in UL 2601-1. It meets the mechanical, electrical and environmental testing requirements of the 1993 FDA Reviewer Guidance for Premarket Notification Submissions. It complies with performance and safety requirements of the ISO 8185 and ASTM F1690 (USA) particular standards for Humidification Systems with the exception of clauses 51.6.2 and 51.7.
#### Discussion of the Clinical Tests
Clinical verification studies on the MR850 Humidifier demonstrated the safety, effectiveness and performance of the device. The humidifier was able to provide required temperature and humidification output across a variety of respiratory gas therapies. It required a low level of user intervention and had reduced susceptibility to user error factors. Modified technological components fulfilled their purpose of safety and effectiveness improvements, and did not introduce further hazards to user or patient.
#### Conclusions Demonstrating Safety, Effectiveness and Performance
The testing carried out for the MR850 Humidifier indicates that it meets design and performance functional requirements. Clinical verification studies demonstrate the successful use of the humidifier and its ability to provide effective humidity levels. The proposed device meets the requirements of international and USA medical electrical equipment standards for safety, and key performance and safety requirements from the particular standard for humidification systems.
This information indicates that the MR850 Humidifier is equivalent to or better than the predicate devices in terms of safety, effectiveness and performance.
