Intended Use
The Hudson RCI® AquaPak® Prefilled Humidifier adds humidity to a patient's breathing gases.
Device Story
Device adds humidity to dry medical gas for patient inhalation; prevents respiratory mucosa drying/irritation. System consists of prefilled sterile water/saline reservoir (190ml-650ml) and adaptor component. Adaptor connects to flow-metered gas source (50 psi oxygen); gas bubbles through internal micro-diffuser to produce water vapor. Features audible pressure relief valve to indicate gas flow restriction. Used in hospitals, sub-acute/long-term care facilities, and home environments. Operated by clinicians or patients. Single-use device; provides therapeutic humidity output (at least 10mg H2O/L).
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Tests included packaging integrity (ISTA 2A), ink adherence (ASTM F2252), cannula pop-off, bottle burst, occlusion, spitting, and humidification output (mg/L). Results verify performance is substantially equivalent to predicates.
Indicated for any patient connected to ventilation devices requiring humidification of breathing gases. No known contraindications.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A respiratory gas humidifier is a device that is intended to add moisture to, and sometimes to warm, the breathing gases for administration to a patient. Cascade, gas, heated, and prefilled humidifiers 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 Humidifiers add water vapor (molecular H₂O) to a dry medical gas that is suspended in the gas to be inhaled by the patient.
The Hudson RCI® AquaPak® Prefilled Humidifiers are designed to add humidity to inspired gas, helping to control the drying and irritation of the respiratory mucosa. The humidifiers feature a micro-diffuser that produces smaller bubbles and greater surface agitation, allowing for a quiet operation and therapeutic humidity output.
Prefilled sterile reservoirs for AquaPak® Humidifiers come in four sizes; 190ml, 340ml, 540ml and 650ml. Each reservoir must be used with a suitable adaptor component, which connects the system to a flow-metered gas source and provides humidifier functionality.

| Cannula Pop-<br>Off, Bottle<br>Burst,<br>Occlusion Test | N/A | Determines strength of the tubing<br>connector, the reservoir does not burst<br>when nares are occluded and the relieve<br>valve performs as expected to relieve<br>pressure |
| Spitting Test | N/A | Determines the expected outcome that<br>the humidifier will not spit or flood the<br>tubing at the maximum flow rate of 10<br>LPM |
| Humidification<br>Output Test | N/A | Determines the rate of humidification at<br>which the liquid is humidified and<br>emitted in milligrams per liter |
#### L. Substantial Equivalence
The proposed Hudson RCI® AquaPak® Prefilled Humidifier is substantially equivalent in intended use, design, performance and principles of operation to the identified predicate devices cleared under 510(k) K780562 and K833974. The differences between the proposed Hudson RCI® AquaPak® Prefilled Humidifier and the predicate devices are minor (sterile to non-sterile packaging) and raise no new issues of safety and efficacy.
