The predicate device can be used on a single limb breathing systems. The valve sits on a T-piece connected at the patient end of the breathing tube. When the patient inspires, pressure applied via the exhalation line inflates the valve membrane causing it to close off the exhalation port. Then when the patient exhales the pressure on the membrane is released allowing the exhaled air to escape. The predicate valve has a 1:2 pressure ratio similar to the MKIIIb. The device is for single patient use on adults and pediatrics. The function of all three valves is the same, however the MK3 and MK3b can seal with a low inspiratory drive in order that the ventilator can trigger a spontaneous breath. IPPB machines in the past had no requirement for PEEP control. however ventilators are generally now fitted with controllable PEEP modes The predicate device is aesthetically different to the MK3 and MK3b, the MK3 valves are now inline, reducing the need for additional connectors. ### Description of Device: Double limb breathing systems comprising of an inspiratory and expiratory limb is commonly used for respiratory care. To reduce waste and clutter single limb breathing systems can be used with an exhalation valve to dispel exhaled air from the patient. Some ventilator designs or specifications do not require proximal pressure monitoring; airway pressure is monitored inside the ventilator. There are three variants of the exhalation valve in this submission. {1}------------------------------------------------ ### Description of Device: ### Exhalation valve with proximal pressure port (1924501 &1924504) A single breathing tube connects the patient to the ventilator allowing the patient to receive respiratory care. The exhalation valve is connected at the patient end onto the breathing tube. A pressure monitor line and exhalation valve control line directly connects the valve to the ventilator. Via exhalation valve control line, the ventilator applies a pressure which controls the balloon valve. During the Inspiratory phase the balloon is inflated to close off the exhalation port in the valve body. During the expiratory phase the pressure is released in the valve chamber and the balloon deflates allowing air to be expelled to the surrounding environment via the exhalation port. This prevents the patient rebreathing exhaled gases yet allowing for a single limb breathing system to be used instead of a double limb system. The pressure line monitors the pressure in the valve body. The patient end of the exhalation valve has a swivel connector end. #### Exhalation valve without proximal proximal prossure port (1923500) A single breathing tube connects the patient to the ventilator allowing the patient to receive respiratory care. The exhalation valve is connected at the patient end onto the breathing tube. An exhalation valve control line directly connects the valve to the ventilator. Via the exhalation valve control line, the ventilator applies a pressure which controls the balloon valve. During the Inspiratory phase the balloon is inflated to close off the exhalation port in the valve body. During the expiratory phase the pressure is released in the valve chamber and the balloon deflates allowing air to be expelled to the surrounding environment via the exhalation port. This prevents the patient rebreathing exhaled gases vet allowing for a single limb breathing system to be used instead of a double limb system. The patient end of the exhalation valve has a swivel connector end. Different ventilators require valves which work with different pressure ratios. The MKIII exhalation valve (1923500 and 1924501) has a 1:1.5 pressure ratio which caters for the majority of ventilators. However, there are markets which have applications for ratio of 1:1, and 1:2. The MK3b exhalation valve (1924504) has a 1:2 pressure ratio. The pressure ratio is the pressure difference between the control line pressure and the pressure that will be generated on the patient side of the valve. #### Indications for Use: The exhalation valves are used to control Inspiratory pressure and expel the expired air from a patient being ventilated via a single limb breathing system. The exhalation valve and single limb breathing systems are used with adults/pediatrics and prescribed by a physician. The device can be used within hospitals and for home care use. It is a single patient use device and can be used for a maximum of 30 days. {2}------------------------------------------------ ## Technology Characteristics Summary The intended use of the Intersurgical Exhalation Valves is comparable to the referenced predicate device.

The target population is adult and pediatric patients using a single limb breathing tube. A pediatric population is defined as 10 kg in weight. The product is not for use in neonates. The resistance to flow through the valve is the same for both predicate and the subiect valve. The pressure ratio for the MK3b and predicate device are exactly the same, meaning it will provide the same performance on the ventilators. The subject and predicate valve have the same principal of operation. Although there are a few performance differences between the subject and the predicate devices the intended use is the same. They are used in the same configuration i.e. on a breathing system, connected to a ventilator, except the subject devices incorporate the connector into the design making it more economical, and saves on deadspace. The leakage in the balloon and the main body is slightly higher in the predicate device than the subject devices, however this leakage is minimal. Intersurgical's internal requirement is for devices to leak less than 5ml/min, however most standard requirements are much larger than this. There is no standard requirement for exhalation valves. The less leakage the more efficient the device will be. The trigger feature is an additional function which the predicate device is unable to perform, this is a benefit with the new valves and does not alter the intended use, it just means the subject valves can be used on more ventilators. The new valves are validated for patient trigged spontaneous breaths. The predicate device was previously validated for 24 hours whereas the subject device have been shown to work without any impairment to the performance for 30 days. The predicate device has not been tested for this duration. Nonclinical tests submitted to demonstrate substantial equivalence for the Exhalation Valve include Resistance to Flow, Pressure Ratio, Leakage and Tapers when compared to the legally marketed device. All materials used in the Exhalation Valve have been evaluated according to tests outlined in ISO 10993-1 and meet the requirements of Bluebook Memo, General Program Memorandum G95-1 biocompatibility testing for genetotoxicity, implantation, cytotoxicity, sensitization, and irritation. The Exhalation Valve connectors meet the requirements of Anesthetic and respiratory equipment - conical connectors: Part 1: Cones and Sockets ISO 5356-1:2004. {5}------------------------------------------------ ## Substantial Equivalence: Intersurgical Incorporated has demonstrated that the proposed device is as safe and as effective as the predicate device. It is considered to be substantially equivalent to the currently marketed predicate device which has been previously reviewed for market clearance by the FDA. ## K132143 Premarket Notification [510(k)] Number {6}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/6/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
