Intended Use
The air-oxygen mixer Quality Mix is used to administer a continuous, precise mix of medical air and medical oxygen through its outlet ports - to infants, children and adults. The exact fractional inspiratory oxygen concentration (FiO2) corresponds to the selected FiO2 setting on the control knob (dial). It is a restricted medical device intended for use by qualified, trained personnel under the direction of a physician in professional healthcare settings. This product is not intended for use as a life supporting device.
Device Story
Pneumatic air-oxygen blender; inputs medical air and oxygen (46.41-94.27 psi) via diameter-indexed connectors. Internal two-stage balance regulator module equalizes gas pressures; oxygen concentration dial (21-100%) proportions gases. Mixed gas delivered to outlet ports. Used in professional healthcare settings by qualified personnel. Includes audible alarm triggered by pressure differential (≥13.05 psi) or supply failure; bypass poppet allows high-pressure gas to flow directly to outlet during failure. Bleed valve ensures concentration accuracy in low-flow applications. Provides clinicians with precise FiO2 delivery; supports respiratory therapy. MR unsafe due to metallic components.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing, including performance testing per ISO 11195:2018 (reverse gas flow, alarm systems, concentration accuracy, gas supply failure), usability engineering (IEC 62366-1), environmental testing (vibration/shock), and biocompatibility (ISO 18562-1/2/3).
Technological Characteristics
Pneumatic, non-electric, standalone gas mixer. Materials compliant with ISO 15001 (oxygen compatibility). Dimensions: 12.2" x 16.5" x 13". Operating pressure: 46.41-94.27 psi. Connectivity: DISS/NIST inlet/outlet ports. No software/firmware.
Indications for Use
Indicated for infants, children, and adults requiring continuous, precise air-oxygen mixtures in professional healthcare settings. Not for life support.

The air-oxygen mixer Quality Mix is used to administer a continuous, precise mix of medical air and medical oxygen – through its outlet ports – to infants, children and adults. The exact fractional inspiratory oxygen concentration (FiO2) corresponds to the selected FiO2 setting on the control knob (dial).

This product is not intended for use as a life supporting device.
Warning: By using flows above 70 LPM, the risk of high flow such as air trapping, barotrauma, and gastric insufflation (leading to possible aspiration) can occur.
## 8.5. Patient Group
The Quality Mix blender may be used on equipment where patient population is infant, pediatric and adult patients.
#### 8.6. Environments of use
Professional healthcare settings, where the delivery and monitoring of air/ oxygen mixtures is required.
#### 8.7. Device description
The air-oxygen blender Quality Mix is a compact air/oxygen mixing device, which provides a precise mixing of medical grade air and oxygen gases. The blender is a pneumatic powered device with flowmeters which can be connected to outlet ports to regulate the gas flow.
The Quality Mix series medical air / oxygen blender includes following models: Quality Mix High Flow; Quality Mix High Flow XL and Quality Mix Low Flow; Quality Mix Low Flow XL.
The Quality Mix series air / oxygen blender is designed, tested and manufactured in accordance with the standard ISO 11195:2018 Gas mixers for medical use - Stand - alone qas mixers.
#### 8.8. Technology
The Quality Mix blender is designed to use two gas sources of medical air and oxygen (46,41- 94,27 psi). The two gas sources enter through the diameter - indexed air and oxygen inlet connectors located on the bottom of the Quality Mix blender. Once through the filters, each gas passes through a duckbill check valve which prevents possible reverse gas flow from either the oxygen or the air supply systems. The two gases then pass
{5}------------------------------------------------
through a two-stage balance regulator module. The purpose of this regulator module is to equalize the operating pressures of the air and oxygen gas sources.
Once these pressures have been balanced, the gases are proportioned according to the oxygen concentration selected on the oxygen concentration selection dial. The oxygen concentration dial allows the clinician to select a desired oxygen concentration from 21% to 100% O2.
When the pressure difference between the two inlet gases exceeds the prescribed value, or if there is a gas supply failure of one of the gas sources because of disconnection, the bypass poppet will move to one site and create a path for the high-pressure gas to flow into the alarm. This triggers the audible alarm. From this point, the mixed gas flows to the outlet port. The bleed valve on the auxiliary outlet port needs to be activated to ensure the oxygen concentration accuracy of ±3% when the intended output flow in low flow applications is below the specified range of ≤15 lpm for the High Flow blender and ≤3 lpm for the Low Flow blender.
#### 8.9. Determination of substantial equivalence
The subject device has the same indication for use, the same patient group, and the same environment of use as the predicate device Precision Blender (K053232).
The subject device also has the same technological characteristics for example design components, the same function and uses the same energy source as the predicate device. Both devices accept room air and 100% oxygen gas and adjust the molar fraction of oxygen gas in the room air by mechanical means, and blended gas is supplied to the patient. They have identical specifications for the delivery of blended gas and they use the same technoloqy for the audible alarm if the pressure differential between the two inlet gases exceeds the prescribed value or if one gas source is disconnected. Both devices are pneumatically powered only and they produce an audible alarm. The subject device and the predicate device are not intended to be used sterile, nor do either device contain electrical components. The subject device and the predicate device are provided in versions of High Flow and Low Flow blenders.
Please see the table below for more details.

Table 2: Summary of non - clinical tests
## Conclusion:
In all cases the subject device passed or meets the acceptance criteria of general requirements for performance and basic safety. We can find the subject device substantially equivalent to the predicate device Precision Blender (K053232).
There are no differences which raise any different questions of safety and effectiveness.
## 8.11. Animal testing
No animal testing was performed.
## 8.12. Clinical tests
The subject of this premarket submission, Quality Mix blender series, do not require clinical studies to support substantial equivalence.
## 8.13. Discussion of Differences
There are a few differences between the subject device and the predicate device Precision Blender (K053232). The differences between the predicate and the subject device are addressed when we compare the subject device to the reference devices
They are:
## Environments MRI
The environments of use of the Quality Mix series are same as the predicate device Precision Blender (K053232). But the Subjected Device is not for use in MRI Environments, due to the use of ferrous materials / metallic components. Therefore the Device as stated in the safety information's and labeling is marked as MR unsafe. The predicate Device Precision Blender (K053232) can be used in MRI environments of only 3 Tesla MR Systems. Both devices are not intended to be used sterile.
