Intended Use

The Inovo AccuPulse Single Lumen Pneumatic Conserving Regulator is used to deliver a prescribed flow of medical-grade oxygen to the patient while conserving gas from a high-pressure oxygen cylinder, by sensing the patient inhalation cycle and supplying gas only during that phase of breathing.

Device Story

AccuPulse Conserving Regulator is a high-pressure oxygen regulator and conserving device; compact unit attaches to oxygen cylinders via CGA 870 style yoke. Device senses patient inhalation via pressure-sensitive diaphragm (0.10 to 0.35 cm H2O); triggers sliding valve to release oxygen pulse during inspiration. Pneumatic timing controls pulse duration; delivers 12 cc/lpm at flows from 1 to 6 LPM. Protects diaphragm by isolating it from oxygen flow via sliding valve mechanism. Includes continuous flow mode for device failure. Operates at breathing rates up to 40 BPM; skips breaths at higher rates. Used in clinical or home settings to extend oxygen cylinder duration; reduces oxygen waste compared to continuous-flow regulators. Healthcare providers prescribe flow settings; patients use device to receive oxygen therapy.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence established via bench testing including ASTM G175 promoted ignition, hydrostatic testing, proof pressure testing, conservation testing, flow regulation testing, and environmental testing.

Technological Characteristics

Compact aluminum body with brass high-pressure zones. Pneumatic sensing/actuation via pressure-sensitive diaphragm and sliding valve. CGA 870 style yoke inlet. Pressure reduction to 22 PSIG. Mechanical/pneumatic operation; no software or electronics. ASTM G175 compliant.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring supplemental medical-grade oxygen therapy delivered from high-pressure cylinders. Device conserves oxygen by sensing inhalation and delivering gas only during the inspiratory phase.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

## 510(K) SUMMARY

This summary of 510(k) safety and effectiveness is being submitted in accordance with the requirements of SMDA 1990 and 21 CFR Part 807.92.

1060751 The assigned 510(k) number is:

#### 1. Submitter's Identification:

Inovo, Inc. 2975 S. Horseshoe Drive Naples, Fl. 34104

Date Summary Prepared: March 10, 2006

Contact Person: Mr. Michael T. Dildine Quality Assurance Manager

#### 2. Name of the Device:

Inovo, Inc. AccuPulse Conserving Requlator

#### 3. Class and Product Code

Class II , Product Code NFB , Anesthesiology Panel

#### 4. Predicate Device Information:

- 1. Precision Medical Inc. Easy Pulse 5 (K032018)
- 2. Chad Oxypneumatic Cypress Model 511 (K020475)
- 3. Inovo Economizer (K031983)

#### 5. Device Description:

The Inovo, Inc. AccuPulse Conserving Regulator is a high pressure oxygen regulator and conserving device that is combined into a single compact unit. It is designed to extend the use time of oxygen cylinders. The AccuPulse senses the start of inhalation and immediately releases a short "pulse" of oxygen to the patient. Since all of the "pulse" of oxygen finds it way deep into the lungs, less oxygen is required to accomplish the same effect as traditional continuous-flow oxygen requlators.

The AccuPulse Conserving Regulator contains an integral regulator with a CGA 870 style yoke. The regulator portion reduced the pressure to about 22PSIG. The AccuPulse then delivers oxygen to the patient by sensing the beginning of inhalation using a diaphragm, which opens a sliding valve for a specific period of time controlled by pneumatic timing. The unit is designed to deliver 12 cc/lpm of oxygen to the patient at flows from 1 LPM to 6 LPM.

{1}------------------------------------------------

The AccuPulse also has a continuous mode that delivers selectable continuous flow in the event of device failure.

Patient inspiration is detected by a pressure-sensitive diaphragm set by the manufacturer in the range of 0.10 to 0.35 cm H2O. The device is capable of delivering a bolus of oxygen at the beginning of the patient's inhalation at breathing rates up to 40 breaths per minute (BPM). Patients with more rapid breathing rates than 40 BPM will cause the device to "skip" breaths.

#### Intended Use: 6.

The AccuPulse Conserving Requlator is used to deliver a prescribed flow of medical grade oxygen to the patient while conserving gas from a highpressure cylinder, by sensing the patient inhalation cycle and supplying gas only during that phase of breathing.

#### 7. Comparison to Predicate Devices:

The Inovo, Inc. AccuPulse Conserving Regulator is substantially equivalent to the Precision Medical Inc. Easy Pulse 5 (K032018), the Chad Oxyoneumatic Cypress Model 511 (K020475) and the Inovo Economizer (K031983). These predicate devices were cleared with the same indications for use as our device.

Similarities include features of the device, input operating pressures, outlet pressure, selectable outlet flows, oxygen conservation, inlet configuration, outlet connection (except the Economizer, K031983, which has a dual-lumen outlet connection), gauge, and trigger point. A major feature is a compact aluminum body with all brass in high pressure zones.

Similarities include features of the device attached as Exhibit #2.

There is one technological characteristic difference between the AccuPulse and the predicate devices:

## Timing

The AccuPulse Conserving Regulator has a sliding valve which connects the outflow of oxygen to the outlet port. Upon patient inhalation, sliding valve closes the passage between the sensing diaphragm and the outlet port and then opens a passage to allow oxygen to the patient. The valve does not allow any oxygen to contact the sensing diaphragm, thereby protecting the diaphragm. In addition, the valve does not allow the unit to pulse a second time until a defined interval has passed.

There is no effect on safety and effectiveness.

### Discussion of Non-Clinical Test Performed for Determination of Substantial 8. Equivalence are as follows:

Performance Testing Included:

- Promoted Ignition ASTM G175 .
- Hydrostatic Test .
- Proof Pressure Test .
- Conservation Test .
- Flow Regulation Test .
- Environmental Testing .

#### ல் Discussion of Clinical Test Performed

Not Applicable

#### 10. Conclusions:

The subject device, the Inovo, Inc. AccuPulse Conserving Regulator has the same intended use as the predicate devices, the Inovo Economizer (K031983), Precision Medical (K032018) and the Chad (K020475). Moreover, bench testing contained in our submission and non-clinical testing supplied demonstrates that there are no differences in their performance characteristics, thereby not raising any new questions of safety and effectiveness. Thus, the Inovo, Inc. AccuPulse Conserving Regulator is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
