#### SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF DEVICE COMPARED TO THE PREDICATE DEVICE as required by 807.92(a)(6)

The Mini-Filter/S has the following similarities to the Datex-Ohmeda Mini-Filter/S predicate device (K030990):

Mini-Filter/S is identical to predicate (K030990) in physical construction and all specifications except labeled resistance as described below.

The Mini-Filter/S has the following differences when compared to the Datex-Ohmeda Mini-Filter/S predicate device:

- · The devices differ in labeled breathing resistance
· Labeling is updated to modify the contraindications

The main differences between the Mini-Filter/S and the predicate Datex-Ohmeda Mini-Filter/S (K030990) are due to fact that the updated labeling reflects a more accurate measurement of the breathing resistance values due to updated equipment calibration. There is no material or design change and the product itself is identical. Mini-Filter/S still has lower breathing resistances than Datex-Ohmeda HMEF Mini (K023641).

The main differences between the labeling is that it describes the use of the Mini-Filler/S with nebulizers and active humidification. In this issue Mini-Filter/S is similar to the legally marketed (predicate) Intersurgical Clear-Guard (K990949).

In summary, the Mini-Filter/S, described in this submission is substantially equivalent to the predicate Datex-Ohmeda Mini-Filter/S (K030990).

The Uni-Filter Junior, Uni-Filter/S, angled Uni-Filter are substantially equivalent in safety and effectiveness to the legally marketed (predicate) Intersurgical Clear-Guard (K990949).

The Uni-Filter Junior, Uni-Filter/S, angled Uni-Filter/S and Uni-Filter have the following similarities to the Intersurgical Clear-Guard (K990949) predicate devices:

- · Have a similar indicated use
- · Have the same fundamental scientific technology and use the same operating principle

The Uni-Filter Junior, Uni-Filter/S, angled Uni-Filter/S and Uni-Filter have the following differences when compared to the Intersurgical Clear-Guard (K990949) predicate devices:

- · The devices differ in Breathing resistance, weight, dead space and shelf life
- · Labeling is updated to modify the contraindications
- · Filtration efficiency against virus
- · Filtration efficiency against bacteria

The main differences between the Uni-Filter Junior, Uni-Filter/S, angled Uni-Filter/S and Uni-Filter and the predicate device Intersurgical Clear-Guard (K990949) are due to fact that Uni-Filter Junior, Uni-Filter/S, angled Uni-Filter/S and Uni-Filter have better or equal filtration efficiency (except Uni-Filter has lower viral filtration efficiency), smaller weight , smaller dead spaces (except Uni-Filter which is a little bigger filter) and lower resistance than predicate Intersurgical Clear-Guard.

In summary, the Uni-Filter Junior, Uni-Filter/S, angled Uni-Filter/S and Uni-Filter , described in this submission is substantially equivalent to the predicate Intersurgical Clear-Guard (K990949).

{3}------------------------------------------------

## SUMMARY OF NONCLINICAL TESTING FOR THE DEVICE and CONCLUSIONS as required by 807.92(b)(1)(3)

Filter's are normally used and installed by a trained nurse or doctor. Necessary precautions and warnings are stated on the instructions for use (Tab 9).

The Mini-Filter/S, Uni-Filter Junior, Uni-Filter/S, Uni-Filter/S angled and Uni-Filter housing are made of medical grade plastic materials commonly known to be suitable for the application. The material used is biocompatible (non-cytotoxic and non-allergic), non-toxic

Disposable Filter's are meant for single patient use only. There is no applicable cleaning, disinfection or sterilization procedures that the operator could use

#### CONCLUSION:

The summary above shows that there are no new questions of safety and effectiveness for the Mini-Filter/S, Uni-Filter Junior, Uni-Filter/S, Uni-Filter/S angled and Uni-Filter as compared to the predicate device.
