### b. Date Summary Prepared
12 June 2015
## c. Description of Device
The Breathe Technologies Life2000 Ventilation System is a portable, battery powered, critical care ventilator.
The Ventilator administers the physician-prescribed volume to the patient via the attached Breathe Technologies Patient Universal Connector which connects into the patient's tracheostomy tube, endotracheal tube, or any off the shelf non-invasive mask. It can also be used with the Breath Technologies NIOV Pillows Interface, a type of nasal mask.
The ventilator is small and light enough to be worn on a patient's belt, or slung over their shoulder. It is connected to a separate, third party, gas supply.

Image /page/4/Picture/0 description: The image contains the logo for Breathe Technologies. The word "Breathe" is in a large, light blue font, with the word "TECHNOLOGIES" in a smaller font below it. There is a blue wave design below the word "TECHNOLOGIES".
The Ventilator is intended for Institutional or Home Use. It is not intended for use during emergency/medical transportation.
### d. Indications for Use
The Breathe Technologies Life2000 Ventilation System is intended to provide continuous or intermittent ventilatory support for the care of individuals who require mechanical ventilation. The ventilator is intended for use by qualified, trained personnel under the direction of a physician.
Specifically, the ventilator is applicable for adult patients who require the following types of ventilatory support:
- Positive Pressure Ventilation, delivered invasively (via ET tube) or noninvasively (via mask).
- Assist/Control mode of ventilation.
The ventilator is suitable for use in home and institutional settings.
#### e. Comparison to Predicate Device
The Life2000 Ventilation System is substantially equivalent in Intended Use, Indications for Use, technology, and performance to the LTV-1200 that was cleared under K060647.
The Life2000 serves a subset of the cohort (adult) that are indicated for the LTV-1200 (patients >5kg).
The Life2000 has all the ventilation modes that are necessary for a critical care ventilator, whereas the LTV-1200 includes modes like SIMV and CPAP.
The Life2000 has a pneumatic active exhalation valve. whereas the LTV-1200 has a mechanical/pneumatic active exhalation valve.
Any technological differences between the Breathe Technologies Life2000 and the LTV-1200 can be determined to be clinically insignificant when compared to the reference device, the Breathe Technologies NIOV Ventilator, cleared under K103345.
The following table presents a comparison of the features of the predicate and applications devices, along with an analysis of why the resultant differences do not negatively impact a conclusion of substantial equivalence.

## f. Summary of Supporting Data
The Software Design and Validation process along with the bench testing of the device demonstrated that the Breathe Technologies Life2000 Ventilation System operates as intended.
In particular, testing demonstrated that Life2000 is compliant with the following Guidelines and Standards:
- ISO 10993-1 (2009): Biological evaluation of medical devices -- Part 1: Evaluation and Testing
- . FDA Draft Reviewer Guide for Ventilators (July 1995)
- ASTM F1246-91 (1991, Reapproved 2005); Standard Specification for Electrically Powered Home Care Ventilators, Part 1 - Positive Pressure Ventilators and Ventilator Circuits
- . IEC 60601 - 1 (2005): Medical electrical equipment - General Requirements for Safety
- . IEC 60601-1-2:2007 3rd Edition Medical Electrical Equipment- Part 1-2: General Requirements for Basic Safety and Essential Performance- Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic Compatibility- Requirements and Tests
- ISO 80601-2-12 (2011), First Edition 2011-04-15, Medical electrical equipment -Part 2-12: Particular requirements for basic safety and essential performance of critical care ventilators
The following additional testing was requested by the FDA to demonstrate Substantial Equivalence.
- Ventilator Cleaning validation .
- . Risk characterization of VOC's for most vulnerable patient population
- . Static Analysis Tool verification of software
- . Comparative Waveform Testing
- Human Factors and Usability Testing with all intended cohorts and users.
Breathe Technologies concludes from this comparison and the supporting data that the Breathe Technologies Life2000 Ventilation System is substantially equivalent to to the predicate Pulmonetic Systems LTV-1200 (K060647).
<sup>1</sup> Per Annex B.3, it was determined that all of the materials (and material processes) used in Life2000 are identical those in a reference device, the NIOV Ventilator and Accessories (K103345), except the polycarbonate material in the Universal Connector, which was shown to be identical to the polycarbonate used in the ResMed Ultra Mirage II Nasal Mask (K050359). This analysis was adopted for the Volatile Organic Compound and Particulate Matter testing.
