Indications for Use
Provides supplemental therapeutic oxygen to a patient in a military field hospital setting.
Device Story
Portable Therapeutic Oxygen Concentration System (PTOCS) provides supplemental oxygen in military field hospitals or aeromedical evacuation settings where liquid oxygen is unavailable. Device uses pressure swing adsorption (PSA) with molecular sieve to separate oxygen from filtered ambient air. Produces gaseous oxygen at 93% minimum purity (95% average); delivers through three ports with flow rates up to 45 lpm total at 50 psig. System includes medical grade oxygen hose and flow regulators. Operated by military medical personnel to support oxygen-driven medical equipment and patient therapy. Benefits include reliable oxygen supply in austere, deployable environments.
Clinical Evidence
Non-clinical bench testing only. No clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
Pressure swing adsorption (PSA) oxygen concentrator; molecular sieve gas separation; 3-port output; 50 psig operating pressure; 45 lpm max flow; 93% minimum oxygen purity. Includes medical grade oxygen hose and flow regulators. Standalone system for field use.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring supplemental therapeutic oxygen in a military field hospital setting.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A portable oxygen generator is a device that is intended to release oxygen for respiratory therapy by means of either a chemical reaction or physical means (e.g., a molecular sieve).

Description: The Portable Therapeutic Oxygen Concentration System (PTOCS) has been designed to accommodate Military Personnel with a source of supplemental oxygen in a setting where liguid oxygen may be unavailable. Aeromedical Evacuation and ground based medical missions require medical support systems capable of providing therapeutic oxygen. The gaseous oxygen generator will also be required to provide oxygen at the prescribed flow rates and pressures required to operate the oxygen driven equipment included in the AFMS deployable medical assemblages. Requirements are based on the deployable oxygen system, operational requirements document that has been issued by the United States Air Force.
This system is based on the Pressure Swing Adsorption principle and uses a molecular sieve to separate gases from the filtered ambient air. The oxygen is stored and delivered to the patient(s) through one of three ports (1/2 to 15 lpm settings) with a maximum litre per minute flow of 45 total at 50 psig. The oxygen concentration purity level is at 93% minimum, with an oxygen purity level average of 95%. Included with the generator is a secured accessory kit consisting of 20 feet of medical grade oxygen hose and flow regulators for each outlet.
Indications For Use: Provides supplemental therapeutic oxygen to a patient in a military field hospital setting.
Conclusion: Non-clinical bench testing conducted by Essex Cryogenics of MO., Inc. as provided is conclusive in establishing substantial equivalence of the PTOCS to the predicate devices on which SE is claimed.

Dear Ms. Hunnicutt:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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. In addition, if you wish to change or expand your current indications for use to include non-military environments, you will need to submit a new 510(k) premarket notification, and receive FDA clearance prior to marketing the device.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
