Attributes
Therapeutic, Pediatric
Intended Use
The Hudson RCI® AquaPak® Prefilled Nebulizer adds sterile water or saline solution in aerosol form to a patient's breathing gases.
Device Story
Device consists of prefilled sterile water or saline reservoirs (440ml, 760ml, 1070ml) paired with specific nebulizer adaptors (028 standard or 033 quiet). Adaptors connect to 50 PSI oxygen flow-metered gas sources; utilize jet nebulization principle with adjustable air entrainment windows to control oxygen concentration (FiO2) and aerosolize liquid into fine mist. Used in hospitals, sub-acute/long-term care facilities, and home environments; operated by clinicians or patients. Output is aerosolized humidity delivered to patient breathing gases. Benefits include provision of particulate humidity for respiratory therapy. Single-use device.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance verified through lift pressure, oxygen entrainment, nebulization rate, and particle size distribution (MMAD/GSD) testing.
Technological Characteristics
Jet nebulizer; 50 PSI oxygen gas source; adjustable air entrainment window; reservoir volumes 440ml, 760ml, 1070ml; single-use; non-sterile adaptors; sterile water/saline reservoirs processed via reverse osmosis, distillation, and aseptic fill.
Indications for Use
Indicated for pediatric (ages 2 years and above) and adult patients requiring aerosolized sterile water or saline solution added to breathing gases.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A nebulizer is a device intended to spray liquids in aerosol form into gases that are delivered directly to the patient for breathing. Heated, ultrasonic, gas, venturi, and refillable nebulizers are included in this generic type of device.

Dear Mr. Cochie:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug. and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

## E. Device Description
Hudson RCI® AquaPak® Prefilled Nebulizers provide sterile water or sterile saline for inhalation therapy. Nebulizers generate aerosol, a fine mist of liquid water (or sodium chloride solution) that is suspended in the gas to be inhaled by the patient.
The Hudson RCI® AquaPak® Prefilled Nebulizers are designed to aerosolize and provide a fine mist of sterile water or saline solution to inspired gas during aerosol therapy.
Prefilled sterile reservoirs for AquaPak® Nebulizers come in three sizes; 440ml, 760ml and 1070ml. Each reservoir must be used with a suitable adaptor component, which connects the system to a flow-metered gas source and provides nebulizer functionality.
