## Device Description
The VPAP III is a microprocessor-controlled blower-based positive airway pressure flow generator for the treatment of OSA. The device is based on the S7 Elite with an additional therapy mode (bi-level), derived from the VPAP II ST, to provide pressure relief during exhalation. The flow generator is used in combination with patient tubing and a mask. For additional humidification, an optional integrated humidifier, the HUMIDAIRE 2i, is compatible with the flow generator.
#### Substantial Equivalence
The modified device has the following similarities to the previously cleared devices:
- ച Same Intended Use
- J Same Operating Principle
- Same Technologies
- Same Manufacturing Line า
Design Verification and Validation tests were performed on the VPAP III flow generator, in accordance with the risk analysis and product requirements. All tests confirmed that the modifications have had no impact on the safety or effectiveness of the device. In summary, the device in this submission is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

#### Dear Mr. Kotter:
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.
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.
