The AirFit N20 channels airflow non-invasively to a patient from a positive airway pressure (PAP) device such as a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or bilevel device. The AirFit N20 is: • to be used by patients weighing more than 66 lb (30 kg) for whom positive airway pressure has been prescribed • intended for single patient re-use in the home environment and multi-patient re-use in the hospital/institutional environment.
Device Story
AirFit N20 is a non-invasive vented nasal mask for delivering PAP therapy. It consists of a silicone cushion, polymeric frame, four-point foam-padded headgear with magnetic clips, and an elbow/short tube assembly with an integrated exhaust port. The device connects to standard PAP tubing via a 22mm swivel. Used in home or hospital settings, it is operated by patients or clinicians to channel airflow to the patient's airway. The mask provides a seal around the nose and upper lip. It is a prescription-only, non-sterile device. The design includes an optional multi-hole elbow and modified vent geometries to minimize CO2 rebreathing. The device is cleaned/reprocessed between uses. It benefits patients by providing a stable interface for respiratory support.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data was relied upon. Substantial equivalence was demonstrated through bench testing, including CO2 rebreathing, total mask flow, flow resistance, through impedance, mechanical integrity (simulated use/abuse), and biocompatibility (ISO 10993 series). Reprocessing validation included cleaning and disinfection efficacy testing.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: silicone elastomer, polymeric frame, foam-padded fabric headgear. Connection: ISO 5356-1 compliant 22mm swivel. Design: 4 subassemblies (headgear, frame, cushion, elbow/short tube). Exhaust: integrated port in elbow. Standards: ISO 17510:2015, ISO 10993-1/5/10/12. Non-sterile, prescription-only.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients weighing >66 lb (30 kg) prescribed positive airway pressure therapy via CPAP or bilevel devices.

#### Device modifications Submission reason
Comparison of technological characteristics with the previously cleared predicate AirFit N20 device
Delivering treatment pressure generated from a positive airway device (PAP) device to the patient's airway is the technological principle of both the modified AirFit N20 and the previously cleared predicate AirFitN20 (K153673) device.
The modified and predicate devices are based on the following same technological elements:
- Soft silicone elastomer cushions are used to achieve an air seal ● around the patient's nose and upper lip.
- . The cushion is held in place using a polymeric frame
- The frame is strapped to the patient's head using a four point foam padded fabric headgear that employ self- aligning tactile magnetic clips.
- A flexible and extensible elbow and short tube assembly delivers the treatment pressure from the PAP device tubing to the cushion and the patient's airway.
- Exhaust ports are built into the elbow to continuously flush out and minimize the amount of CO2 rebreathed by the patient.
- . The masks can be disassembled for cleaning and reprocessing in accordance with the labelling.
- Use of polymeric construction materials for the pneumatic and structural components and foam padded fabrics for the head strap.
- . Use of ISO 5356-1 compliant 22mm diameter swivel for connection to the PAP delivery hose.
- Multiple size offering to ensure adequate mask fit over the . extended patient population.
- Similar performance i.e. both masks have similar operating . pressure range, pressure flow and flow impedance characteristics and operate on the same "Pillows, Mirage or Swift" ResMed flow generator settings.
- . Same operating environments i.e. reuse in the home and hospital / institution environments
- . Similar manufacturing processes
The following technological differences exist between the modified AirFit N20 and the previously cleared predicate AirFit N20 (K153673) are:
- The modified AirFit N20 design incorporates an optional multi-. hole integrated elbow/short tube; the previously cleared AirFit N20 only has a diffused elbow/short tube assembly.
- . Headgear fabric materials were modified.
- Exhaust port vent geometries modifications were made to the . diffused elbow.
- . Reprocessing claims expanded to include other components. In the predicate device only the cushion was labelled for reprocessing.
Verification and validation testing has demonstrated that these differences do not affect intended performance of the modified mask nor raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.
{5}------------------------------------------------
| Non-clinical data | The modified AirFit N20 was designed and tested in accordance with<br>ISO 17510:2015: Medical devices – Sleep apnoea breathing therapy<br>Masks and application accessories.<br>The scope of non-clinical testing conducted to support the substantial<br>equivalence claim of modified AirFit N20 to the previously cleared<br>predicate AirFit N20 device included:<br>• CO2 rebreathing<br>• Total mask flow<br>• Flow resistance<br>• Through impedance |
|------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| | Mechanical integrity performance of the new device was verified by<br>testing to simulated normal use and reasonable abuse scenarios<br>including:<br>• home cleaning for single patient reuse<br>• reprocessing for multi-patient reuse<br>• transportation<br>• storage |
| | Biocompatibility evaluation was conducted in accordance with<br>ISO 10993-1, ISO 10993-5, ISO 10993-10 and ISO 10993-12 on<br>modified components that were manufactured using new materials<br>with patient exposure classifications of permanent external<br>communicating device (tissue) and /or permanent skin contact.<br>Predication on the predicate AifFit N20 device (K153673) and other<br>reference devices was relied upon where the modified components<br>were manufactured using previously cleared predicate materials.<br>Reference devices include Mirage Vista Mask (K031047), Mirage<br>Swift (K032433), AirFit P10 (K132013) and AirFit N10 (K132887). |
| | Validation of reprocessing included a combination of cleaning efficacy<br>testing, disinfection efficacy testing and predication based on<br>previously validated Master Components. Post disinfection and<br>sterilization performance testing and residual toxicity evaluation were<br>also completed to demonstrate functional performance of the modified<br>device. |
| | Verification confirmed that the modified device met the predetermined<br>acceptance criteria and the performance is substantially equivalent to<br>the previously cleared predicate AirFit N20 (K153673). |
| Clinical Data | Clinical data was not relied upon to demonstrate Substantial<br>Equivalence to the predicate device. Bench testing demonstrates that<br>the modified AirFit N20 mask device performs in an equivalent<br>manner and is as safe and as effective as the previously cleared<br>predicate AirFit N20 device (K153673). |
| Substantial<br>Equivalence<br>Conclusion | The modified AirFit N20 is substantially equivalent to the previously<br>predicate AirFit N20 device (K153673):<br>• it has the same intended use<br>• it has similar technological characteristics<br>• it has similar performance characteristics<br>• the differences do not raise any new questions of safety or<br>effectiveness<br>• it is at least as safe and as effective as the predicate device |
