The INOblender provides user set concentrations of inhaled Nitric Oxide (NO), in a balance of nitrogen, mixed into a user settable constant flow of oxygen gas that is being delivered to a patient. The intended use for the INOblender is as a back up to a primary nitric oxide delivery system or for short term attended use when a primary delivery device cannot practicably be used. This intended use includes applications within a medical facility and transport outside of a medical facility. The INOblender is not intended for use as a primary NO delivery system for long-term use.
Device Story
INOblender is a pneumatic gas mixing apparatus; functions as a back-up system for inhaled Nitric Oxide (NO) delivery. Inputs: source gas (NO in nitrogen) and oxygen. Operation: manually mixes NO/nitrogen with oxygen to achieve user-set concentrations; delivers constant flow to patient. Used in medical facilities or during transport; operated by clinicians. Output: NO/oxygen gas mixture. Benefits: provides temporary, reliable NO delivery when primary systems fail or are impractical. Device is not for long-term primary therapy.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Testing included design verification, integrity, reliability, and performance testing against design input/output specifications and hazard/risk control requirements.
Technological Characteristics
Pneumatic gas mixing apparatus. Materials selected based on Fadassi FM-1 and Datex-Ohmeda INOvent. Complies with CGA 626 (Medical NO Gas Connections) and IEC 60601-1 (General requirements for medical electrical equipment). Standalone mechanical/pneumatic device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring inhaled Nitric Oxide (NO) therapy as a back-up or short-term attended use when primary delivery systems are unavailable; suitable for use within medical facilities and during transport.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
The nitric oxide administration apparatus is a device used to add nitric oxide to gases that are to be breathed by a patient. The nitric oxide administration apparatus is to be used in conjunction with a ventilator or other breathing gas administration system.
Special Controls
The special control for this device is FDA's “Guidance Document for Premarket Notification Submissions for Nitric Oxide Administration Apparatus, Nitric Oxide Analyzer, and Nitrogen Dioxide Analyzer.”

The 510(k) summary of safety and effectiveness information is being submitted in accordance with the requirements of SMDA 1990 and 1992.
The INOblender is substantially equivalent to the Fadassi Medical FM-1 NO Blender, which was cleared by FDA with 510(k) premarket notification numbers K003665 and K011874.
Indications for use: The INOblender provides user set concentrations of inhaled Nitric Oxide (NO), in a balance of nitrogen, mixed into a user settable constant flow of oxygen gas that is being delivered to a patient. The intended use for the INOblender is as a back up to a primary nitric oxide delivery system or for short term attended use when a primary delivery device cannot practicably be used. This intended use includes applications within a medical facility and transport outside of a medical facility. The INOblender is not intended for use as a primary NO delivery system for long-term use.
The INOblender was designed to comply with the limited applicable portions of the following:
- 1. CGA 626: Medical NO Gas Connections.
- 2. IEC 60601-1: Medical Electrical Equipment (for general requirements).
- 3. FDA Guidance Document for Premarket Notification Submissions for Nitric Oxide Delivery Apparatus, Nitric Oxide Analyzer and Nitrogen Dioxide Analyzer.
The materials selected were based upon the Fadasis FM-1 NO Blender and the Datex-Ohmcda INOvent Delivery System.
All testing indicated the INOblender met its design input specifications, design output specifications, hazard analysis and risk control requirements. Testing completed included:
- 1. INOblender Test Plan
- 2. INOblender Integrity Test Report
- 3. INOblender Reliability Testing
- 4. INOblender Verification Test Report
- 5. INOblender Testing Against Predicate Test Plan
