Device Story
NeumoFilt Ergo and BiteOn are disposable, single-patient-use electrostatic filters for pulmonary function testing (PFT) equipment. Device placed between patient and PFT machine to prevent cross-contamination of equipment by inhaled/exhaled breath. Two models: Ergo (mouthpiece-shaped end) and BiteOn (biteblock-shaped end). Used in hospitals, clinics, and physician offices. Filters air via electrostatic media; protects equipment from biological contaminants. Healthcare providers use the device as a standard accessory during routine PFT procedures. Benefits include equipment protection and patient safety through bacterial/viral filtration.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing included bacterial filtration efficiency (99.9998% per MIL-M-36954C), viral filtration efficiency (99.9939% per MIL-M-36954C), flow resistance at 1, 5, and 14 L/sec, dead space, housing burst strength, and age testing. Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993-1 and G95-1, including cytotoxicity, sensitization, and intracutaneous reactivity/irritation.

Device Description: The MRD NeumoFilt pulmonary function filter ("PFT filter") is a standard electrostatic filter that is placed between the patient and the pulmonary function testing equipment to keep a patient inhaled and exhaled breath from contaminating the equipment. There are 2 models with the only difference being the patient end piece which is either a biteblock shape (BiteOn) or the mouthpiece shape (Ergo).
Indications for Use: For use with pulmonary function testing (PFT) equipment only, to filter air between the patient's exhaled air and the testing equipment. Single patient use, disposable. Duration of use < 24 hours. Environment of use: Hospital, Sub-acute facilities, Clinics, Physician offices.
### Contraindications: None
## Substantial Equivalence Rationale:
The MRD NeumoFilt is viewed as substantially equivalent to the predicate devices because:
Indications - For use with pulmonary function testing (PFT) equipment only, to filter air between the patient's exhaled air and the testing equipment. Single patient use, disposable. Duration of use < 24 hours. Environment of use: Hospital, Sub-acute facilities, Clinics, Physician offices.
Discussion - This is identical to the predicate - Air Safety Model 2800 PFT Filter - K051712, which is intended for use with pulmonary function testing equipment, to filter air between the patient's exhaled air and the testing equipment.

Technology – The MRD NeumoFilt is an electrostatic media that is equivalent in performance and the fundamental principle of operation as the predicate.
Discussion - There are no differences in technology between the proposed device and the predicate Air Safety Model 2800 PFT filter - K051712.

## 510(k) Summary Page 3 of 4 8-Nov-14
Environment of Use - Hospitals, Sub-acute facilities, clinics and physician offices. Discussion - The environment of use is substantially equivalent to the predicate Air Safety Model 2800 PFT filter – K051712.
Patient Population - There are no patient specific limitations. Discussion - This is identical to the predicate Air Safety Model 2800 PFT filter - K051712.
Performance Specifications - The performance specifications are substantially equivalent to the predicates - Air Safety Model 2800 PFT filter - K051712.
Non-clinical Testing - We performed a number of non-clinical tests to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the MRD NeumoFilt. These tests included:
Materials – The materials have been evaluated and tested in accordance with ISO 10993-1 and G95-1. Based upon ISO 10993-1 and G95-1 the NeumoFilt filter would be considered as:
- Externally communicating (indirect gas pathway) ●
- Tissue contact ●
- Limited duration (< 24 hours) .
And the housing:
- Surface Contact ●
- Mucosa contact
- Limited duration (< 24 hours) ●
We have performed the following tests:
- Cytotoxicity ●
- Sensitization
- Intracutaneous reactivity or Irritation ●
Performance Testing - We have performed the following performance data and testing:
- Resistance to flow at 1, 5, 14 1/second ●
- Bacterial / Viral filtration efficiency per Nelson Laboratories ●
- o Pre - and Post - conditioning
- Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE) 99.9998% per MIL-M-36954C, S. aureus o ATCC# 6538 of approximately 3.0 micron size, > 107 challenge.
- Viral Filtration efficiency (VFE) 99.9939% per MIL-M-36954C. X174 о bacteriophage of approximately 2.9 micron size, > 106 challenge.
- Dead space ●
- Housing burst strength ●
- Age testing
### Discussion of Differences and Similarities -
As the above table and rationale present there are no major differences between the proposed NeumoFilt and the predicate. Each filter is operates on the same filtration technology that is placed between two houses. They each connect to PFT testing equipment. The predicate may be used with a separate mouthpiece to make it easier for the user whereas the proposed Ergo design the patient end-fitting is shaped like a mouthpiece thus not requiring a separate piece. Their physical

size, design, dimensions are very similar and not considered significantly different as demonstrated by the comparative performance testing. The slight differences in BFE / VFE, weight, and Dead Space do not raise any new safety concern and thus can be considered substantially equivalent.
Substantial Equivalence Conclusion - The sponsor has demonstrated through performance testing, design and features, and non-clinical testing that the proposed device and predicate have been found to be substantially equivalent.
