Intended Use
Care Orchestrator Essence is intended for use by healthcare professionals (e.g., Physicians, Clinicians, Durable Medical Equipment providers) to gather, store, manage, and view compliance data for patients who are prescribed compatible therapy devices in accordance with the intended use of those therapy devices. The software also includes the ability to create new or updated prescriptions and/or performance settings, store them, and transmit them to compatible Respironics' non-life supporting therapy devices and Respironics Trilogy ventilator. Data and prescription settings are transferred between Care Orchestrator Essence and compatible devices via removable media. Care Orchestrator Essence is intended to be used in hospital, institutional, provider, and home care settings by healthcare representatives. The software does not perform automatic scoring or diagnosis. The data it provides are only one of several elements to consider when making decisions about patient therapy.
Device Story
Care Orchestrator Essence is a desktop software application for healthcare professionals (physicians, clinicians, DME providers) to manage patient therapy data. It functions as a data management system for sleep therapy and Trilogy respiratory devices. Input consists of therapy data and prescription settings transferred via SD card from compatible Respironics devices. The software allows users to view compliance data, generate reports, and create or update prescription/performance settings, which are then written back to the SD card for transfer to the therapy device. It operates on a PC in hospital, institutional, or home care settings. The software does not perform automated scoring or diagnosis; it serves as a tool to assist clinicians in therapy decision-making. It provides a centralized interface for managing patient referrals and therapy workflows without requiring internet connectivity.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Safety and effectiveness demonstrated through non-clinical software verification and validation testing, including system testing for data transfer, display of therapy data, prescription integrity checks, and cybersecurity verification (authentication and encryption).
Technological Characteristics
Desktop software application for Windows 7 SP1 or newer. Connectivity via SD card (removable media) for data transfer; no wireless/internet required. Cybersecurity includes user authentication and data-at-rest encryption. Functionality includes data management, report generation, and prescription setting updates for Respironics therapy devices.
Indications for Use
Indicated for healthcare professionals managing patients prescribed compatible Respironics therapy devices (sleep therapy and Trilogy ventilators). Used to gather, store, manage, and view compliance data and update prescription/performance settings via removable media. Not for automatic scoring or diagnosis.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A noncontinuous ventilator (intermittent positive pressure breathing-IPPB) is a device intended to deliver intermittently an aerosol to a patient's lungs or to assist a patient's breathing.

## Dear Jennifer Richardson:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part
{1}------------------------------------------------
801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.
For comprehensive regulatory information about mediation-emitting products, including information about labeling regulations, please see Device Advice (https://www.fda.gov/medicaldevices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance) and CDRH Learn (https://www.fda.gov/training-and-continuing-education/cdrh-learn). Additionally, you may contact the Division of Industry and Consumer Education (DICE) to ask a question about a specific regulatory topic. See the DICE website (https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-advice-comprehensive-regulatoryassistance/contact-us-division-industry-and-consumer-education-dice) for more information or contact DICE by email (DICE@fda.hhs.gov) or phone (1-800-638-2041 or 301-796-7100).
