The small size AF531 SE Full Face Mask is intended to provide a patient interface for application of noninvasive ventilation. The mask is to be used as an accessory to ventilators which have adequate alarms and safety systems for ventilation failure, and which are intended to administer CPAP or positive pressure ventilation for treatment of respiratory failure, respiratory insufficiency or obstructive sleep apnea. The mask is for single use in the hospital/institutional environment only. The mask is to be used on patients 7 years or older (>40lbs/20kg) who are appropriate candidates for noninvasive ventilation.
Device Story
The AF531 SE Full Face Mask is a patient interface accessory for noninvasive ventilators. It consists of a silicone cushion and polycarbonate faceplate covering the nose and mouth; it requires a separate exhalation device. Used in hospital/institutional environments, it is operated by clinicians to deliver CPAP or positive pressure ventilation. The mask connects to ventilators via a standard elbow and is secured using Four Points or CapStrap headgear. By providing a sealed interface, it enables the delivery of therapeutic pressure to patients, supporting respiratory function and treating respiratory insufficiency or sleep apnea.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance protocols included pressure performance, waveform performance, triggering, cycling, and alarm functionality testing. Results met all acceptance criteria.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: silicone cushion, polycarbonate faceplate. Components: standard elbow (requires external exhalation device), Four Points or CapStrap headgear. Form factor: full face mask (nose and mouth coverage). Single-use. Non-powered, passive interface.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients 7 years or older (>40lbs/20kg) requiring noninvasive ventilation (CPAP or positive pressure) for respiratory failure, respiratory insufficiency, or obstructive sleep apnea in hospital/institutional settings.
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.

## Device Description
The Respironics AF531 SE Full Face Mask consists of a silicone cushion, polycarbonate faceplate with a standard elbow with no exhalation, requiring the use of a separate exhalation device. This mask is an accessory for use with ventilators in the hospital/institutional environment only. The small size AF531 SE Full Face Mask will be used on patients 7 years or older (> 40 lbs/20kg).
## Intended Use
The small size AF531 SE Full Face Mask is intended to provide a patient interface for application of noninvasive ventilation. The mask is to be used as an accessory to ventilators which have adequate alarms and safety systems for ventilation failure, and which are intended to administer CPAP or
{1}------------------------------------------------
positive pressure ventilation for treatment of respiratory insufficiency or obstructive sleep apnea. The mask is for single use in the hospital/institutional environment only. The mask is to be used on patients 7 years or older (>40lbs/20kg) who are appropriate candidates for noninvasive ventilation.
## Predicate Comparison
Comparison of the AF531 SE Full Face Mask (modified mask) with the predicate Respironics PerforMax SE Total Face Mask (K072588/K092648);
- . The intended use and the environment of use is the same. Both masks are for the hospital/institutional use only on patients 7 years or older and > 40lbs/20kg.
- Both masks contain a silicone cushion, polycarbonate faceplate and standard elbow, . requiring the use of an additional exhalation device. The same elbow is on both masks.
- . Both masks use the same headgear (Four Points Headgear design) and headgear attachment clips. The CapStrap headgear may also be used with the AF531 mask.
- The difference between the modified device and the Respironics PerforMax SE Total Face . Mask predicate is the shape of the faceplate and cushion. The modified device is a full face mask with a faceplate and cushion covering the nose and mouth, whereas the predicate device is a total face mask with a faceplate and cushion covering the nose, mouth and eyes.
The modified device has been performance tested with passing results. Test protocols including pressure performance, waveform performance, triggering, cycling and alarm functionality testing along with the results of these tests are provided in Tab 8 of this submission.
### Substantial Equivalence
The AF531 SE Full Face Mask has the following similarities to the previously cleared predicate device:
- O Same intended use.
- o Same operating principle.
- D Same technology.
- D Same manufacturing process.
There is no change to the intended use, operating principle, technology or manufacturing process for the AF531 SE Full Face Mask. The small size AF531 SE Full Face Mask was performance tested

.
and verified to meet the required acceptance criteria. Results of 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 mask.
