Intended Use

The Naväge Nose Cleaner is intended to help relieve nasal and/or sinus congestion and stuffiness by washing and moisturizing the nasal cavity with a pressure-controlled stream of irrigant rinse.

Device Story

Naväge Nose Cleaner is a handheld, battery-powered nasal irrigator for OTC home use. Device uses dual-action pressure: positive pressure (gravity) to introduce irrigant into nasal cavity and negative pressure (powered suction) to aspirate effluent into a removable collection tank. Miniature battery-powered pump creates pressure differential to maintain flow and balance pressures, minimizing sensation within nasal cavity. Device provides cleaner, more convenient irrigation experience compared to traditional gravity-only systems. User operates device to wash and moisturize nasal passages, potentially relieving congestion and stuffiness.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence demonstrated via bench testing of flow rate and pressure performance, and a comprehension study of the Instructions for Use to validate consumer understandability and ease of use.

Technological Characteristics

Handheld, battery-powered (3V DC) device. Materials include plastic, electrical pump, silicone, wiring, and power button. Operates via combined positive (gravity) and negative (vacuum pump) pressure. Flow rate 0.25-1.50 LPM; max suction 23.5 inches water. Not sterile. Complies with IEC 60601 for EMC and electrical safety; ISO 10993 parts 5 and 10 for biocompatibility.

Indications for Use

Indicated for individuals age 12 and older to relieve nasal and/or sinus congestion and stuffiness by washing and moisturizing the nasal cavity.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A powered nasal irrigator is an AC-powered device intended to wash the nasal cavity by means of a pressure-controlled pulsating stream of water. The device consists of a control unit and pump connected to a spray tube and nozzle.

JUN 2 7 2014 # 510(k) Summary (as required by section 807.92(c)) Submitted by: RhinoSystems, Inc. 5399 Lancaster Dr., Unit 6 Brooklyn Heights, Ohio 44131 Contact: Martin R. Hoke, President Office phone: 216 351-6262 Email: mrhoke@cox.net Date First Submitted: February 24, 2014 Date of Revised Submission: June 25, 2014 #### Trade Name: Naväge Nose Cleaner Common Name: Powered nasal irrigator Classifications: 21 CFR 874.5550 Powered Nasal Irrigator Product Code KMA 21 CFR 880.6740 Vacuum Powered Body Fluid Suction Apparatus Product Code KDQ # Predicate Devices: Respironics RinoFlow E.N.T. Nasal Wash System (K973875) Ubimed Cleanoz Nasal Aspirator Kit # Device Description: The Naväge Nose Cleaner ("Naväge") is a powered nasal irrigator intended for OTC use to wash and moisturize the nasal cavity. There are many nasal irrigation devices in commercial distribution in the US, and Naväge is substantially identical to those devices in terms of intended use and indications for use. It is similar in terms of mechanical functionality with the single exception that in addition to using positive pressure, Naväge simultaneously uses negative pressure (suction). That is, the device uses a combination of positive pressure (gravity) to introduce irrigant rinse into the nasal cavity, and negative pressure (powered suction) to aspirate the rinse out of the nasal cavity. The simultaneous use of positive and negative pressure makes it possible for the device to be self-contained so that after washing through the nasal cavity, the irrigant rinse can {1}------------------------------------------------ flow into a removable collection tank attached to the device. This provides an improved nasal irrigation experience resulting from functional simplicity, superior ergonomics, and less mess than currently available devices. Head pressure, the gravitational force resulting from the distance between the upper tank fill-line and the entrance nostril, is a positive pressure that decreases to zero as the irrigant runs out of the upper tank. Head pressure exerts its greatest influence at the beginning of the irrigation cycle when it helps initiate irrigant flow. Negative pressure generated by a miniature, battery-powered pump serves two purposes. First, it evacuates air from the lower tank which allows the irrigant to flow into it. Second, it creates a small pressure differential that draws the irrigant out of the upper tank, through the nasal cavity, and into the lower tank, thereby making up for the loss of head pressure as the irrigant flows out of the upper tank. Naväge is designed so that the positive and negative pressures are essentially kept in balance which results in the user feeling little or no pressure within the nasal cavity during the cycle, thus providing a superior nasal irrigation experience. It also makes it possible for the effluent irrigant to be collected in the lower tank, resulting in a neater and more convenient overall experience. ## Indications for Use: The Naväge Nose Cleaner is intended to help relieve nasal and/or sinus congestion and stuffiness by washing and moisturizing the nasal cavity with a pressure-controlled stream of irrigant rinse. ### Substantial Equivalence Statement: The Naväge Nose Cleaner is substantially equivalent to the Respironics RinoFlow E.N.T. Nasal Wash System ("RinoFlow") cleared under K973875 as a 21 CFR 874.5550 Powered Nasal Irrigator. Naväge and RinoFlow are powered nasal irrigation devices that have the same intended use and indications for use, function in a similar manner, are constructed from the same basic materials, and share the same basic operational principles and technical characteristics. Naväge differs from RinoFlow in that in addition to irrigating, Naväge simultaneously aspirates. With respect to aspiration, Naväge is substantially equivalent to the Ubimed Cleanoz Nasal Aspirator Kit ("Cleanoz") listed under 21 CFR 880.6740 Vacuum Powered Body Fluid Suction Apparatus. Therefore, in accordance with FDA guidance concerning how to identify a predicate when the subject device has two features not previously combined in a single predicate, both predicates are identified as substantially equivalent. Performance testing data for flow rate of irrigant and pressure is submitted to demonstrate substantial equivalence with respect to operational characteristics. Both predicates are over-the-counter, and a comprehension study of the subject device's Instructions for Use is submitted to demonstrate substantial equivalence with respect to over-the-counter characteristics for consumer understandability and ease of use, {2}------------------------------------------------ | Substantial Equivalence Comparison Table: | | | | |-----------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Attribute | Subject Device Naväge Nose Cleaner | Predicate Device Rinoflow Micronized E.N.T.
