Indications for Use
The Breathe Technologies™ Ventilator, with accessories, is a volume assist ventilator intended to aid adult patients with respiratory insufficiency. It is designed for patients with a tracheostomy that are capable of spontaneously breathing a minimum tidal volume of 3.5cc/kg of predicted body weight. The device is designed for continuous applications such as patient ambulation, physical therapy, occupational therapy, respiratory therapy, and other rehabilitation efforts in an institutional environment. The device is intended for operation by trained personnel under the direction of a physician.
Device Story
Breathe Technologies Ventilator (BT-V) is a battery-powered, wearable volume assist ventilator; augments spontaneous breathing in tracheostomy patients. Device inputs: patient's spontaneous inspiratory effort. Device outputs: physician-prescribed volume delivered via Transtracheal Tube (BT-TT). Used in institutional settings; operated by trained personnel under physician direction. Small, lightweight (3.1 lb) form factor allows patient mobility, ambulation, and participation in physical/occupational therapy. Benefits include increased patient movement and rehabilitation potential compared to bulkier, full-featured ventilators. Healthcare providers use device to supplement inspiratory efforts, facilitating patient activity while maintaining respiratory support.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Biocompatibility testing performed in compliance with ISO 10993. Bench testing demonstrated compliance with medical community expectations, product labeling, and relevant guidance and standards. No clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
Battery-powered, wearable volume assist ventilator. Dimensions/weight: 3.1 lbs. Connectivity: None stated. Sterilization: Not specified. Software: Embedded firmware for volume assist. Biocompatibility: ISO 10993 compliant. Sensing/Actuation: Volume-based ventilation triggered by patient spontaneous breathing.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult patients with respiratory insufficiency and a tracheostomy capable of spontaneously breathing a minimum tidal volume of 3.5cc/kg of predicted body weight. Intended for continuous use in institutional settings to support ambulation and rehabilitation.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A continuous ventilator (respirator) is a device intended to mechanically control or assist patient breathing by delivering a predetermined percentage of oxygen in the breathing gas. Adult, pediatric, and neonatal ventilators are included in this generic type of device.

## b. Date Summary Prepared
10 June 2009
#### c. Description of Device
## c.1. Intended Patient Populations and Medical Conditions
Breathe Technologies has identified a group of ventilator dependent, or highly oxygen dependent patients, in institutional settings that are being poorly served by current ventilators. This group needs ventilation support but only at low levels. They need mobility within the facility. "Mobility" includes modest movement such as free motion in
{1}------------------------------------------------
bed, standing and sitting to use a commode, and movement to the bathroom. It may also, at the physicians' discretion, allow a level of ambulation to support participation in physical therapy, but the weight and bulk of current ventilators greatly inhibit their potential for physical movement. The ease of carrying the 3.1 lb ventilator, while their inspiratory efforts are properly supplemented, may allow the potential for ambulation for these patients. It is intended only for institutional use, not for home use.
### c.2. General Description of the Breathe Technologies Ventilator, Transtracheal Tube and accessories
The Breathe Technologies™ Ventilator (BT-V) is a battery powered, wearable, volume ventilator that augments the patient's spontaneous breathing.
The BT-V administers this physician-prescribed volume to the patient via the attached Breathe Technologies Transtracheal Tube (BT-TT). The end of the BT-TT is inserted into the patient's tracheostomy tube.
The ventilator is small and light enough to be worn on a patient's belt, or slung over their shoulder, because it has only a subset of the features of a full-featured ventilator.
#### d. Intended Use
The Breathe Technologies™ Ventilator (BT-V), with accessories, is a volume assist ventilator intended to aid adult patients with respiratory insufficiency. It is designed for patients with a tracheostomy that are capable of spontaneously breathing a minimum tidal volume of 3.5cc/kg of predicted body weight. The BT-V is designed for continuous applications in an institutional environment. The BT-V is a restricted medical device intended for operation by trained personnel under the direction of a physician.
#### e. Comparison to Predicate Device
The Breathe Technologies Ventilation System (Ventilator and Accessories) is substantially equivalent to the predicate Pulmonetic Systems' LTV 1000 & 800 Models (K981371) and the Puritan Bennett Legendair XL2 (K070899) in intended use, classification code, technology design and physician's use in that it conforms to a subset of the intended use, technology, physician use, features, performance and alarms of the predicate devices.
By conforming to a subset of design and use of the predicate devices, the Breathe Technologies Ventilation System can be used by some spontaneously breathing, ventilator dependent patients, to ambulate in an institutional setting.
Breath Technologies concludes that the predicate devices and the Breathe Technologies Ventilator System (Ventilator and all accessories) are substantially equivalent.
