The Deployable Oxygen Generator System - Small (DOGS-S) is intended for the administration of supplemental oxygen. This device is not intended for life support nor does it provide any patient monitoring capabilities. The system will be operated by trained personnel.
Device Story
DOGS-S is a portable, battery-powered oxygen concentrator for military and clinical use. It draws ambient air through a molecular sieve (Pressure Swing Adsorption) to separate oxygen from nitrogen; produces continuous flow of 93% (±3%) USP oxygen. Operated by trained medical technicians/respiratory therapists in deployed medical assemblages (EMEDS, ERPSS) or clinical settings. Output is delivered via nasal cannula. Device includes detachable lithium-ion battery, internal charger, and AC power capability. Provides supplemental oxygen to patients with respiratory insufficiency; does not monitor patients or provide life support. Healthcare providers use output to manage patient oxygenation levels; benefits include reliable, portable oxygen supply in austere or clinical environments.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data. Performance verified against ISO 80601-2-69, AAMI ES60601-1, and IEC 60601-1-2. Biological evaluation (ISO 10993-1) included cytotoxicity, sensitization, and irritation testing. Additional testing included particulate matter, VOC, ozone, and military standards (MIL-STD-810f/g, MIL-STD-461e). Results confirm 93% ±3% oxygen purity and flow rate accuracy.

# Device Description:
The DOGS-S system is a portable battery powered oxygen concentrator that will be operationally used for ground-based medical assemblages, such as the Expeditionary Medical Support (EMEDS), and En-Route Patient Staging System (ERPSS) in deployed scenarios, including wartime operations, deterrence, humanitarian and contingency operations.
# Oxygen Concentrator Process
Oxygen concentrators were introduced in the mid-1970s and have become the most convenient, reliable source of supplemental oxygen available today.
The air we breathe contains approximately 21% oxygen, 78% nitrogen, and 1% other gases. In the DOGS-S unit, room air passes through a regenerative adsorbent material called molecular sieve. This material separates the oxygen from the nitrogen and other gases. The result is a constant supply of high concentration supplemental oxygen that is delivered to the patient.
# User/Operator Profile:
AirSep's Concentrators are intended to supply supplemental Oxygen to patients suffering from discomfort due to ailments which affect the efficiency of ones lungs to transfer the oxygen in air to their bloodstream. Patients can benefit from supplemental oxygen therapy for respiratory care at home, in the hospital, or at a medical facility. Oxygen Concentrator use requires a physician's prescription, and is not intended for life support use.
DOGS-S was designed for Military Medical Service use in deployed scenarios, including wartime operations, deterrence, humanitarian and contingency operations.
The DOGS-S will be operated by a trained medical technician with respiratory therapy background. In addition to the normal operation of the DOGS-S, the USER/OPERATOR shall have a working knowledge of oxygen concentrators.
# Technological Characteristics:
DOGS-S will generate 15 litres per minute (LPM) gaseous supply pressure oxygen with a regulated flow adjustment ranging from 0.5 LPM to 15 LPM (ASTM F1464-93) in 0.5 increments will concentrate oxygen from the atmosphere to a purity of 93% (ASTM F1464-93) United States Pharmacopeia (USP). DOGS-S supplies continuous flow of product through a standard patient distribution port. An operator supplied nasal cannula connects to the distribution port to deliver supplement oxygen to the patient. The device includes a detachable battery and internally contained battery charger. The battery charger is capable of charqing the battery while the DOGS-S is off or being used while plugged into AC power source. DOGS-S is a portable unit using handle accessory and/or transit case with handles. DOGS-S will be provided with a non-reusable box for initial shipment and a reusable carrying case.

# SUMMARY:
This summary demonstrates that the Device has no significant technological differences from the predicate device that would adversely affect product safety and effectiveness, i.e. all technological characteristics are covered.
# Accessories:
The following components are part of the DOGS-S submission; a battery pack / lithium ion, power supply, power cord, handle, and manuals. There are no accessories that have received prior FDA 510k clearance.
# Intended Use:
The Deployable Oxygen Generator System – Small (DOGS-S) is intended for the administration of supplemental oxygen. This device is not intended for life support nor does it
{7}------------------------------------------------
provide any patient monitoring capabilities. The system will be operated by trained personnel. The differences in language in the intended use for the SAROS and DOGS-S are minor.
#### Testing:
The DOGS-S has been tested and verified in various phases, internal testing, verification and validation as well as external testing and validation. The design was verified throughout the design process. Risk analysis was done, appropriate measures were implemented and their effectiveness verified. External test house was used to confirm compliance to EMC requirements and standards for electrical safety.
The testing confirms the Deployable Oxygen Generator System - Small (DOGS-S) meets the ISO 80601-2-69 standards for Oxygen Concentrator devices. Testing demonstrates that the product is in compliance to: AAMI ES60601-1 3° Edition Medical electrical equipment—Part:1 General Requirements for Basic Safety and Essential Performance and to IEC 60601-1-2 3ª Edition Medical Electrical Equipment, Part 1: General Requirements for Safety-Collateral Standard: Electrical Compatibility - Requirements and Tests.
#### Performance Data:
The oxygen flow rate and purity at the operating pressure was tested and verified in the Performance Bench Testing section of this submission, the instruction manual and in accordance with
