Intended Use
VentStar Helix dual heated N Exten. Kit (MP02280): Inspiratory and expiratory heated disposable breathing circuit with humidifier chamber for connection to a humidifier MR850 by Fisher & Paykel, for neonatal patients with a tidal volume of up to 100 mL, for conducting humidified breathing gas from humidifier to patient. VentStar Helix heated (N) Plus (MP02608): Inspiratory heated disposable breathing circuit with humidifier chamber for connection to a humidifier MR850 by Fisher & Paykel, for neonatal patients with a tidal volume of up to 100 mL, for conducting humidified breathing gas from humidifier to patient.
Device Story
VentStar Helix devices are disposable, heated breathing circuits designed for neonatal patients (tidal volume ≤100 mL). The system connects to a Fisher & Paykel MR850 humidifier to deliver humidified gas to the patient. The VentStar Helix Dual Heated N Exten. Kit provides inspiratory and expiratory heating, while the VentStar Helix Heated (N) Plus provides inspiratory heating. Used in hospital settings or during intrahospital transport, these circuits are compatible with Dräger Babylog VN-Series ventilators. The device functions as a conduit for breathing gas; heating wires integrated into the circuit walls maintain gas temperature and humidity levels to prevent condensation. Healthcare providers connect the circuit to the humidifier and ventilator; the system operates passively to maintain gas conditions. Benefits include consistent humidification and temperature control for neonates, reducing the risk of airway drying or thermal injury. The device is not for use during MRI or electrocautery.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is supported by non-clinical bench testing, including mechanical, thermal safety, electrical safety (IEC 60601-1), EMC (IEC 60601-1-2), and biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1, ISO 18562).
Technological Characteristics
Disposable breathing circuits with integrated heating wires. Materials evaluated per ISO 10993-1 and ISO 18562. Connectors comply with ISO 5356-1. Electrical: 22V, 2.73A, 60W. Connectivity: Physical connection to MR850 humidifier and Dräger Babylog VN-Series ventilators. Sterilization: Not specified (disposable).
Indications for Use
Indicated for neonatal patients with tidal volume up to 100 mL requiring humidified breathing gas delivery via connection to a Fisher & Paykel MR850 humidifier. Contraindicated for use during MRI or electrocautery.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A breathing system heater is a device that is intended to warm breathing gases before they enter a patient's airway. The device may include a temperature controller.

Dear Jan Upmeier:
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.

# Performance Data
Non-clinical testing of the breathing circuits has been performed covering mechanical, thermal safety, environmental conditions, electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility, functional verification, and performance capacity and accuracy. Verification and validation testing was conducted in conformance to the FDA recognized standards as listed below. Performance data related to each proposed modification has been tested and evaluated. High level summary reports included in this 510(k) demonstrate that the subject devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
# Electrical Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
Electrical safety and EMC testing were conducted for VentStar Helix Dual Heated N Exten. Kit and VentStar Helix heated (N) Plus. The devices comply with the IEC 60601-1 for basic safety and performance and the IEC 60601-1-2 standard for EMC.
# Further Performance Testing
To demonstrate performance and functionality, VentStar Helix Dual Heated N Exten. Kit and VentStar Helix heated (N) Plus were tested and meet all applicable requirements of the following standards:
- . ISO 5367: Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment -- Breathing sets and connectors
- . ISO 80601-2-12: Medical electrical equipment. Particular requirements for basic safety and essential performance of critical care ventilators
- . ISO 5356-1: Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment -- Conical connectors -- Part 1: Cones and sockets
- . ISO 80601-2-74: Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-74: Particular requirements for basic safety and essential performance of respiratory humidifying equipment (Gap Analysis)

# Biocompatibility Testing
All materials used in the fabrication of the heated breathing systems and also the completed products were evaluated through biological qualification safety tests as outlined in ISO 10993-1 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices" and the international standard series of ISO 18562 "Biocompatibility evaluation of breathing gas pathways in healthcare". These materials were also tested in accordance with industry recognized test methods and were found to be acceptable for the intended use. The following tests were performed:
- . Test for emissions of particulate matter (PM) according to ISO 18562-2
- Test for emission of VOC with additional humidity according to ISO 18562-3
- . Test for leachables in condensate according to ISO 18562-4
- . Extracting according to ISO 10993-18 (Exhaustive extraction in Water, Isopropanol; simulated use extraction with Isopropanol)
- . Material characterization according to ISO 10993-18 (2009-08) (organic and inorganic extractables/ leachables)
- . Cytotoxicity according to ISO 10993-5
- Sensitization according to ISO 10993-10 .
- . Irritation according to ISO 10993-10
