Intended Use

The ComfortGel Blue Nasal Mask is intended to provide an interface for application of CPAP or bi-level therapy to patients. The mask is for single patient use in the home or multi-patient use in the hospital/institutional environment. The mask is to be used by patients (>66lbs/30kg) for whom CPAP or bi-level therapy has been prescribed.

Device Story

ComfortGel Blue Nasal Mask is a non-invasive patient interface for CPAP or bi-level therapy. Device consists of a polycarbonate faceplate, gel cushion with polyester seal, and integrated exhalation ports on the elbow. It covers the nose only and secures via headgear with ball clip attachments. Connects to flow generators via standard 22mm tubing. Used in home (single-patient) or hospital (multi-patient) settings by patients >66lbs/30kg. Healthcare providers or patients attach the mask to deliver positive pressure ventilation to the lungs. The gel cushion design aims to improve fit and reduce air leaks compared to traditional masks. The device facilitates therapy delivery, potentially improving patient compliance and treatment efficacy for respiratory conditions.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance testing included intentional leak, pressure drop, CO2 rebreathing, deadspace, and swivel torque on both untreated and treated samples. Disinfection efficacy testing was performed to ensure a minimum 6-log reduction in accordance with AAMI TIR No. 12-2004, AAMI TIR 30-2003, and ANSI/AAMI/ISO 14937-2000.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Polycarbonate faceplate, gel cushion with polyester overlay, silicone cushion flap, Delrin exhalation port, UBL/urethane foam/lycra headgear. Sensing/Actuation: Passive interface for positive pressure delivery. Connectivity: Standard 22mm tubing. Sterilization: Provided clean, non-sterile; validated for high-level disinfection. Form factor: Nasal mask with integrated exhalation ports.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients >66lbs/30kg requiring CPAP or bi-level therapy. Used as an interface for non-invasive positive pressure ventilation in home or hospital settings.

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.

Testing was performed pre and post home/clinical cleaning and disinfection treatments. Additionally, efficacy testing was performed to ensure that the mask could be high level disinfected to assure a minimum of a 6 log reductions for this mask as tested in accordance with AAM TIR No. 12-2004, AAMI TIR 30-2003, ANSI/AAMI/ISO 14937-2000, and the "content and format of Premarket notification submissions for liquid chemical sterilants/high level disinfectants" - FDA CDRH, January 3, 2000. Results from this testing concluded that the verification testing raises no new issues of safety or effectiveness. Respironics has followed the FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff document "pre-market assessment of pediatric medical devices" and applied the principle of FDA's Least Burdensome Approach to demonstrate the Substantial Equivalence of the ComfortGel Blue Nasal Mask. As a result we conclude that the existing indications for use can be safely and effectively applied to this device. {7}------------------------------------------------ #### DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/7/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
