Intended Use
This device is intended to provide continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for the treatment of adult Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) patients who are spontaneously breathing. It is intended for single patient reuse in the home environment.
Device Story
Device provides continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) to treat adult OSA; home-use device for single-patient reuse. Incorporates Pressure Variation Algorithm (PVA) to provide exhalation pressure relief for patients struggling against high CPAP pressures. PVA reduces pressure during transition from inspiration to expiration; maintains reduced pressure during expiration; returns to therapeutic pressure at end of expiration. PVA automatically suspends if apneas detected; restarts after apneas disappear. Includes built-in heated humidifier to mitigate dry nose/throat symptoms. Device operates in CPAP or APAP modes. Healthcare providers use device settings to titrate therapy; patients use device at home to manage OSA symptoms.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Verification included safety and EMC testing per IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2, side-by-side waveform testing against predicates, and algorithm analysis covering step functions, PVA waveforms across various breathing frequencies/volumes, and PVA performance during disordered breathing (apneas/hypopneas).
Technological Characteristics
CPAP device with 22mm air outlet; pressure range 4-20 cmH2O; 0.5 cmH2O increments. Features pressure ramp (0-45 min), pressure compensation, and altitude compensation. Includes integrated heated humidifier. Software-based Pressure Variation Algorithm (PVA) provides three levels of exhalation pressure relief. Operates in CPAP or APAP modes. Complies with IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) who are spontaneously breathing. Intended for home use.
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.

## Indications for Use:
This device is intended to provide continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) for the treatment of adult Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) patients who are spontaneously breathing. It is intended for single patient reuse in the home environment.
## Device Description:
The iCH CPAP with PVA 9S-007XXX Series are intended to provide continuous positive airway pressure for the treatment of adult obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It is a modification of iCH CPAP 9S-007XXX (K120035) with the same algorithm of XT Auto with PVA 9S-005720 (K112079). It shares the same construction and auto adjustment algorithm with iCH CPAP 9S-007XXX but adds the identical Pressure Variation Algorithm with the predicate device XT Auto with PVA 9S-005720 (K112079). The Pressure Variation Algorithm provides a release pressure during expiration phase which is designed for patients who have difficulty exhaling against high CPAP pressure. It works by reducing the CPAP setting pressure in the normal breath status of expiratory phase from the treatment pressure in either CPAP or APAP mode.
A built-in heated humidifier of iCH CPAP with PVA 9S-007XXX Series are designed to increase the humidity of the air from the CPAP thereby relieving the symptoms of a dry nose and throat resulting from constant airflow that some patients may experience. The modified iCH CPAP series (with PVA) are from the iCH CPAP 9S-007XXX (K120035), but the algorithm for pressure variation algorithm(PVA) of the device comes from XT Auto with PVA (K112079).
The PVA Pressure Variation Alqorithm for the subject and predicated device (K112079) is an exhalation pressure relief function which is designed for patients who have difficulty exhaling against high CPAP pressure. Pressure can be reduced to three different levels (according to patient need) during the transition from Inspiration to Expiration phase. This reduced pressure level (depending on the PVA setting) will be maintained during Expiration phase and will return to the therapeutic pressure in the end of Expiration phase. In order to ensure the effectiveness of CPAP therapy, PVA will be automatically suspended if apneas are detected. After apneas disappear, PVA will re-start.

Table of comparison with predicate devices
Design verification tests were performed on the new device with the predicate device(s) as a result of the risk analysis and product requirements. The verified items are as follows:
- (1) Safety and EMC: according to iCH CPAP 9S-007XXX series (K120035) verification procedures, including FDA reviewer guidance 638.pdf, IEC 60601-1& IEC 60601-1-2.
- FDA Draft Reviewer Guidance for Ventilators (July 1995) (2)
- (3) FDA Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices (May 11, 2005)
- (4) Side by side waveform testing at various pressure and frequency levels with the predicate device(s).
- (5) Algorithm analysis; by comparing the test items as below:
- a. Step function
- PVA waveform with different breathing frequencies and flow volumes b.
- C. PVA feature handling conditions of disordered breathing (apneas and hypopneas)
- PVA waveform upper and lower pressure control d.
- PVA pressure average and tolerance error e.
- f. Performance characteristics of PVA
In conclusion, the above tests demonstrate that the iCH CPAP with PVA 9S-007XXX Series is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the predicate device - XT Auto CPAP with PVA 9S-005720 (K112079). The relevant test reports are described in this submission. Therefore, we state that the iCH CPAP with PVA 9S-007XXX Series is substantially equivalent to the predicate device - XT Auto CPAP with PVA 9S-005720 (K112079).
