The Hudson RCI® AquaPak® Sterile Prefilled Nebulizer adds sterile water or saline solution in aerosol form to a patient's breathing gases. It may be used with pediatric (ages 2 years and above) and adult patients.
Device Story
Device is a jet nebulizer with adjustable air entrainment; consists of a sterile adaptor (type 028 or 033) and a prefilled sterile reservoir (440ml, 760ml, or 1070ml). Operates by connecting to a 50 PSI oxygen source via flow meter; oxygen stream entrains room air to achieve specific oxygen concentrations (FiO2).

#### C. Date Prepared
15 June 2016
#### D. Device Name
#### Trade Name: Hudson RCI® AquaPak® Sterile Prefilled Nebulizers
Common Name: Nebulizer
Classification Name: Nebulizer (Direct Patient Interface), CFR - 868.5630, Class II
#### E. Device Description
Hudson RCI® AquaPak® Sterile Prefilled Nebulizers provide sterile water or sterile saline for inhalation therapy. Nebulizers generate aerosol, a fine mist of liquid water (or sodium chloride solution) that is suspended in the gas to be inhaled by the patient during aerosol therapy.
The Hudson RCI® AquaPak® Sterile Prefilled Nebulizers consist of two components, a sterile adaptor and a prefilled sterile reservoir. The adaptor may be type 028 or type 033. The standard model with a yellow collar (type 028) and the quiet model with a blue collar (type 033) feature an adjustable air entrainment window, which provides a specific oxygen concentration by entraining room air into the oxygen stream. Prefilled sterile reservoirs for the Hudson RCI® AquaPak® Sterile Prefilled Nebulizers come in three sizes; 440ml, 760ml and 1070ml, and may be sterile water or sterile sodium chloride solution. The sterile reservoirs are cleared under K141214, and are presented here for reference only. Each reservoir, when combined with an adaptor component, provides nebulizer functionality when connected to a gas source.
The primary purpose of this Traditional 510(k) submission is to change the nebulizer adaptor cleared in K141214 from non-sterile, and update the packaging materials and shelf life to maintain sterility.

## K. Non-clinical Comparative Performance Testing
Bench testing has been performed to verify that the performance of the proposed Hudson RCI® AquaPak® Sterile Prefilled Nebulizer is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, and that the Hudson RCI® AquaPak® Sterile Prefilled Nebulizer will perform as intended.
There are no new patient contacting materials, so no biocompatibility testing was required for this submission.
The 'Lift Pressure', 'Oxygen Entrainment', 'Nebulization Rate', and 'Particle Size Distribution' testing is identical to the testing performed in the predicate K141214. The results of this testing showed that the subject device met all of the acceptance criteria established by the predicate. The 'Packaging configuration / Shelf Life' and 'Sterility Testing' ensure the sterile packaging and sterility are maintained after sterilization and shelf life testing per the referenced standards. The packaging for the subject device met the acceptance criteria of the standards cited below.
