Used in hospital/institutional environments; fitted and maintained by trained medical practitioners. Device provides interface for therapy delivery; helps maintain seal for respiratory support. Benefits patient by enabling non-invasive respiratory assistance. Models include non-vented (with/without anti-asphyxiation valve) and vented versions. Single patient use; 14-day usage limit.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Compliance with ISO 17510:2020 (sleep apnea breathing therapy masks), ISO 5356-1:2015 (conical connectors), ISO 10993-1:2018 (biocompatibility), and ISO 18562-1:2017 (biocompatibility of breathing gas pathways).
Technological Characteristics
Oro-nasal full face mask; single patient use; non-sterile. Features ISO 5356-1 conical connectors (22mm). Operating pressure range 4-40 cmH2O. Dead space < 200 cm3. Includes anti-asphyxiation valve models. Biocompatible materials per ISO 10993-1 and ISO 18562-1. 14-day usage limit; 3-year shelf life.
Indications for Use
Indicated for spontaneously breathing adult patients (>30 kg) with respiratory insufficiency or respiratory failure requiring non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (CPAP or bi-level) in hospital/institutional settings.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A continuous ventilator (respirator) is a device intended to mechanically control or assist patient breathing by delivering a predetermined percentage of oxygen in the breathing gas. Adult, pediatric, and neonatal ventilators are included in this generic type of device.

Dear Reena Daken:
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 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for
{1}------------------------------------------------
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).

#### PERFORMANCE DATA VII.
## Summary of non-clinical tests
The F&P Visairo NIV Masks have been tested to applicable requirements to the following standards:
- . ISO 17510:2020 Sleep apnoea breathing therapy - Masks and application accessories
- ISO 5356-1:2015 Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment Conical connectors: . Part 1: Cones and sockets
- ISO 10993-1:2018 Biological evaluation of medical devices Part 1: Evaluation . and testing within a risk management process
- . ISO 18562-1:2017 Biocompatibility evaluation of breathing gas pathways in healthcare applications - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process
#### CONCLUSIONS VIII.
The F&P Visairo NIV Masks are substantially equivalent to the predicate based on patient population, intended uses, comparison of the technological characteristics and performance. In addition, the conclusions drawn from the non-clinical tests demonstrate that the device is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device.
