Intended Use
The HAMILTON-C3 ventilator is intended to provide positive pressure ventilatory support to adults and optionally infants and neonates. Intended areas of use: · In the intensive care ward, intermediate care ward, emergency ward, long term acute care hospital or in the recovery room · During transfer of ventilated patients within the hospital The HAMILTON-C3 ventilator is a medical device intended for use by qualified, trained personnel under the direction of a physician and within the limits of its stated technical specifications.
Device Story
The HAMILTON-C3 is a continuous ventilator providing invasive and noninvasive ventilatory support. This submission introduces the 'HiFlowO2' therapy mode. The device takes medical air and oxygen as inputs, delivering them via positive pressure to patient airways. It features automated ventilation modes, including Adaptive Support Ventilation (ASV). Used in hospital environments (ICU, emergency, recovery) by trained clinicians, the device monitors respiratory parameters and provides alarms for high/low oxygen and blockages. The HiFlowO2 feature allows for high-flow oxygen therapy with adjustable flow and oxygen concentration settings. Clinicians use the device interface to set ventilation parameters, which the device executes to support patient breathing. The system benefits patients by providing controlled respiratory support across a wide range of patient sizes, from neonates to adults.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Performance testing compared HiFlowO2 flow and oxygen delivery values against the reference device (HAMILTON-G5) to demonstrate substantial equivalence. Software verification and validation were conducted per FDA guidance.
Technological Characteristics
Continuous ventilator; provides invasive/noninvasive ventilation and HiFlowO2 therapy. Materials are identical to the predicate (K161450). Complies with ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-1-6, IEC 60601-1-8, ISO 80601-2-12, ISO 80601-2-55, ISO 80601-2-61, IEC 80601-2-49, IEC 62304, and IEC 62366. Software-controlled; major level of concern. Connectivity includes standard ventilator interfaces.
Indications for Use
Indicated for positive pressure ventilatory support in adult, pediatric, infant, and neonatal patients. Used in intensive care, intermediate care, emergency wards, long-term acute care, recovery rooms, and during intra-hospital transport. Intended for use by qualified, trained personnel under physician direction.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

Dear Simone Haller:
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.

#### VIII. PERFORMANCE DATA
The following performance and nonclinical data are provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.
## HAMILTON-C3
The software design and validation process, together with the bench testing of the device, demonstrated that the HAMILTON-C3 operates as intended.
In particular, testing demonstrated that the HAMILTON-C3 is compliant with the following guidelines and standards:
- ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1 (2005/ (R) 2012): Medical electrical equipment Part 1 General । requirements for basic safety and essential performance
- । IEC 60601-1:2005 3rd Edition US National deviations
- -IEC 60601-1-2 (2014): Medical electrical equipment – Part 1-2: General Requirements for Basic Safety and Essential Performance – Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic Compatibility - Requirements and Tests
- -IEC 60601-1-6 (2010 + A1 :2013): Medical electrical equipment - Part 1-6: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance - Collateral standard: Usability
- -IEC 60601-1-8 (2006 + Am.1: 2012): Medical electrical equipment - Part 1-8: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance - Collateral Standard: General requirements, tests and guidance for alarm systems in medical electrical equipment and medical electrical systems
- -ISO 80601-2-12 (2011): Medical electrical equipment – Part 2-12: Particular requirements for basic safety and essential performance of critical care ventilators
- ISO 80601-2-55 (2018): Medical electrical equipment -- Part 2-55: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of respiratory gas monitors
- -ISO 80601-2-61 (2018): Medical electrical equipment -- Part 2-61: Particular requirements for basic safety and essential performance of pulse oximeter equipment
- -IEC 80601-2-49 (2018): Medical electrical equipment – Part 2-49: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of multifunction patient monitoring equipment
- -IEC 62304 (2015): Medical device software - Software life-cycle processes
- IEC 62366 (2008)+A1(2014): Medical devices Application of usability engineering to medical devices
- -AIM Standard 7351731 - Medical Electrical Equipment and System Electromagnetic Immunity Test for Exposure to Radio Frequency Identification Readers
Additional software verification and validation testing was conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by the FDA's "Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff: Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices." The software for this device was considered to be a "major" level of concern, since a failure or latent flaw in the software could directly result in serious injury or death to the patient or operator.
Testing of the new feature, the therapy type HiFlowO2, was conducted by a bench test comparing the flow and oxygen values. The data provided from this test was shown to be substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device.
Since only materials in relation to the ventilator itself, which are already used in in the primary predicate (cleared under document number K161450) are used (the new features did not include any material changes, only software adaptions), Hamilton Medical AG did not conduct any additional biocompatibility testing.
{8}------------------------------------------------
#### IX. CONCLUSION
The results of verification, validation, and testing activities demonstrate that the modified HAMILTON-C3 ventilator is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed primary predicate device and substantially equivalent to the reference device (with respect to the new feature HiFlowO2) identified herein.
