Device Story
MetaNeb® is a pneumatically operated therapeutic device for airway clearance and lung expansion. Input: 50 psi oxygen source. Operation: Controller manages three modes—Aerosol (medicated aerosol delivery), CHFO (Continuous High Frequency Oscillation; delivers aerosol with airway oscillation via positive pressure pulses), and CPEP (Continuous Positive Expiratory Pressure; delivers aerosol with continuous positive pressure to expand airways). Output: Medicated aerosol and pneumatic pressure pulses delivered to patient via disposable circuit (mouthpiece, mask, or ventilator interface). Used in hospitals, clinics, and sub-acute facilities by clinicians. Device assists in mobilizing secretions and resolving atelectasis; provides supplemental oxygen. Healthcare providers monitor pressure via integrated manometer and adjust modes/frequencies to optimize therapy.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Comparative performance testing included cascade impactor particle characterization (adult/pediatric flow rates), cleaning validation, simulated life cycle testing, and environmental/mechanical testing. Performance metrics compared peak pressures and respirable dose (Albuterol, Ipratropium, Cromolyn) across modes against predicates.
Indicated for mobilization of secretions, lung expansion therapy, treatment and prevention of pulmonary atelectasis, and supplemental oxygen delivery. Patient population: Adults and children > 2 years old.
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.

#### Device Description:
The MetaNeb® System is a therapeutic device that uses a systematic approach to enhance normal mucus clearance and resolve or prevent patchy atelectasis.
The system has three modes: ·
- . Aerosol-for the delivery of aerosol only. In this mode CHFO and CPEP are not available.
- CHFO (Continuous High Frequency Oscillation)-a pneumatic form of chest physiotherapy that delivers . medicated aerosol while oscillating the airways with continuous pulses of positive pressure.
- CPEP (Continuous Positive Expiratory Pressure)-supplies medicated aerosol combined with continuous . positive pressure to help hold open and expand the airways.
There are three maior components to The MetaNeb® System:
- Circuit includes a mouthpiece, handset, nebulizer, tubing, and filter/tri-connector. It is a single patient . use, disposable that is intended for multiple treatment sessions.
- Controller contains the controls to select the three different modes. It also has a manometer to monitor . pressure. Power is supplied by a hose connected to a 50 psi oxygen source.
- Stand lets The MetaNeb® System be easily moved from room to room. .
#### Indications for Use:
The MetaNeb® System is indicated for mobilization of secretions, lung expansion therapy, the treatment and prevention of pulmonary atelectasis, and also has the ability to provide supplemental oxygen when used with compressed oxygen.

#### Environment of Use:
Hospitals, sub-acute facilities, physician offices, and clinics.
#### Predicate Device Comparison:
The MetaNeb® system is viewed as substantially equivalent to the predicate devices because:
#### Indications -
The proposed indications for use for mobilization of secretions, lung expansion therapy, the treatment and prevention of pulmonary atelectasis, and also has the ability to provide supplemental oxygen when used with compressed oxygen are identical to the predicates
Discussion: The indications for use are identical to the predicates CoMedica PowerNeb (K51964) and Bird IPV (K895485).
#### Technology -
The design of the MetaNeb® system as a pneumatically operated system with different modes of operation: CPEP. CHFO, and aerosol only are identical to the predicates in design and basic function and performance. Discussion: The design of MetaNeb® is substantially equivalent to the predicates CoMedica PowerNeb (K51964) and Bird IPV (K895485).
The MetaNeb® offers some convenient features for the user that are different than the predicates. These are Aerosol Only mode vs. the Comedica PowerNeb (K051964) which requires the user to set the CPEP to minimum flow to deliver aerosol only. While the predicate IPV (K895485) has use an in-line nebulizer but does not have an aerosol only setting. These differences do not raise any new safety or efficacy concerns relative to the predicates.
#### Materials -
The materials in the gas and fluid pathway are considered external communicating, tissue contacting, prolonged duration have been tested per ISO 10993-1.
Discussion: All associated materials in the gas or fluid pathway have been tested per ISO 10993-1 and where applicable VOC and PM2 & testing was performed. The results demonstrate the materials to be safe for the intended use.
#### Environment of Use -
The proposed environments of use are hospital and sub-acute facilities which are identical to the predicates, noting that the Bird IPV is also intended for the home environment.
Discussion: The intended environments of use are identical to the predicates CoMedica PowerNeb (K.51964) and Bird IPV (K895485).
