Intended Use
The Utopia is intended for use by adults (> 30 kg) as a patient interface for currently-marketed CPAP or bi-level positive-pressure ventilation devices for treatment of respiratory insufficiencies and obstructive sleep apnea. (Applies to the standard version): For homecare applications, the Utopia may be reused multiple times by a single patient. For clinical applications (i.e. hospital or other clinical settings), this interface may be reused multiple times by multiple patients. (Applies to the Disposable version): The Utopia Disposable is a single patient, single use interface.
Device Story
Utopia is a patient interface (mask) for CPAP or bi-level ventilators; delivers positive airway pressure to oral and nasal passages. Device features include forehead pad, headgear for secure facial seal, exhalation port, anti-asphyxia valve, and oxygen entrainment port. Connects to ventilators via standard 22 mm fitting. Used in home or clinical settings; operated by patients or healthcare providers. Provides non-invasive ventilation support to treat respiratory insufficiency and obstructive sleep apnea; benefits patient by maintaining airway patency.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is based on functional testing and comparison of materials and design to legally marketed predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Patient interface mask with forehead pad and headgear. Features include 22 mm standard ventilator connection, exhalation port, anti-asphyxia valve, and oxygen entrainment port. Available in single-use (disposable) and multi-use versions. Materials are comparable to predicate masks. Non-powered, passive device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adults (> 30 kg) requiring CPAP or bi-level positive-pressure ventilation for respiratory insufficiency or obstructive sleep apnea.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A noncontinuous ventilator (intermittent positive pressure breathing-IPPB) is a device intended to deliver intermittently an aerosol to a patient's lungs or to assist a patient's breathing.

#### Device Description
The Utopia is a patient interface accessory to a positive pressure ventilator intended for treatment of respiratory insufficiencies and obstructive sleep apnea. The device delivers positive airway pressure from a CPAP or bi-level device to the patient's oral and nasal passages. Connection to the ventilator device is made by a standard 22 mm fitting. The mask is held in place on the face by a forehead pad and headgear worn around the head. The device includes exhalation port. anti-asphyxia valve, and oxygen entrainment port features.
#### Comparison to Predicate Devices
The Utopia is essentially similar to the legally marketed predicate interfaces listed above in function, intended use, materials, and features.
Both the proposed device and the predicates are intended to be used as a patient interface for currently-marketed CPAP or Bi-Level positive-pressure ventilation devices for treatment of respiratory insufficiencies and obstructive sleep apnea. The Utopia is offered in single use and multiple patient, multiple use versions. Predicate examples are offered for both single and multiple use for comparison.
Like the predicate masks, the Utopia delivers non-invasive positive airway pressure from a CPAP or bi-level flow generator to the patient's oral and nasal passages. The Utopia provides a seal against the face as it is held in place with a headgear worn around the head similar to the predicates.
Exhalation ports are provided on the mask shell. An anti-asphyxia valve is provided as a safety feature in case of low pressure delivery from the ventilator device. Accessory ports for oxygen entrainment are provided. Each of these features is comparable to predicates mentioned above. Materials used in the Utopia are comparable to the predicates as well.
{1}------------------------------------------------
# Substantial Equivalence
The Utopia is equivalent to the predicate devices in intended use, environment of use, patient population, and frequency of use. Its basic method of operation and design is also equivalent to the predicates, as described in the comparison above. Materials information and functional testing relative to the intended use of the Utopia show that it is as safe and effective as the predicate devices.
As such, it is RespCare's conclusion that the Utopia is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
