Device Description The Hudson RCI® TurboMist™ Nebulizer System (herein referred to as "TurboMist system" or "subject device") consists of the TurboMist small volume nebulizer and a patient interface, which may include a swivel mouthpiece ors an aerosol mask and elbow adaptor. The aerosol mask is available in adult and pediatric versions. The TurboMist small volume {5}------------------------------------------------ nebulizer is a hand-held, breath-enhanced jet nebulizer designed to aerosolize liquid medications as prescribed by a physician. The nebulizer is powered by an external compressed air or oxygen source, and the aerosol is created by an internal jet located inside the nebulizer jar. The nebulizer is designed to entrain additional room air upon patient inhalation, enhancing aerosol generation and resulting in a faster nebulization rate than traditional jet nebulizers. ## 8. Indications for Use The Hudson RCI® TurboMist™ Nebulizer System is intended to be used to aerosolize liguid medication into gases that are delivered directly to the patient for breathing. Its use is indicated when a licensed healthcare professional prescribes or administers medical aerosol to a patient using a small volume nebulizer. The patient population includes adult and pediatric (greater than 22 lbs or 10 kg) patients that are spontaneously breathing. The product is a single patient, multi-use, non-sterile, disposable, prescriptive device intended to be used in a hospital or homecare environment. ## 9. Contraindications None. ## 10. Technological Characteristics The TurboMist small volume nebulizer is a breath-enhanced, pneumatic jet nebulizer, and is composed of a jet, jar, and cap. It operates based on the Venturi effect, whereby an external source of compressed air or oxygen is directed through the stem of the jar and upwards towards a narrow restrictive point. This change in flow path creates a low-pressure zone that helps to draw liquid medication upwards from the jar into the space between the jet and the jar through capillary action. When the liquid medication encounters the flow of compressed air or oxygen, it becomes aerosolized into a stream of small droplets. The TurboMist small volume nebulizer cap features an air entrainment port, through which additional room air can be entrained, enhancing aerosol output. The aerosolized medication is delivered to the patient utilizing either a swivel mouthpiece or an aerosol mask and elbow adaptor. ## 11. Comparison to Primary Predicate and Secondary Predicate The Subject Device (The TurboMist system), the Primary Predicate (The AirLife Small Volume Nebulizer (K123527)) and the Secondary Predicate, (The MC 300* Nebulizer (K173367)) are identical in intended use, core technology, and mode of operation. Only minor differences exist between the subject, the primary predicate and the secondary predicate, which do not introduce issues of safety and effectiveness. Table 004-1 illustrates the similarities and differences between the subject and Primary Predicate and Secondary Predicate. {6}------------------------------------------------ | Characteristic | Subject Device | Primary Predicate Device | Secondary Predicate | Substantial Equivalence Discussion | |--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Device Name | Hudson RCI® TurboMist™ Nebulizer | AirLife Misty Fast Small Volume Nebulizer | MC 300* | | | 510(k) Number | K230602 | K123527 | K173367 | | | Classification Name | Nebulizer (Direct Patient Interface) | Nebulizer (Direct Patient Interface) | Nebulizer (Direct Patient Interface) | Identical | | Common Name | Small Volume Nebulizer | Small Volume Nebulizer | Small Volume Nebulizer | Identical | | Regulation Number | 868.5630 | 868.5630 | 868.5630 | Identical | | Classification Product Code | CAF | CAF | CAF | Identical | | Regulatory Class | Class II | Class II | Class II | Identical | | Intended Use | The Hudson RCI® TurboMist™ Nebulizer is intended to be used to aerosolize liquid medication into gases that are delivered directly to the patient for breathing. | This AirLife Small Volume Nebulizer is intended to be used to aerosolize liquid medication into gases that are delivered directly to the patient for breathing.
