The AddiPak® Unit Dose Vial may be used in conjunction with a non-ventilator nebulizer for lavage therapy, or for tracheal irrigation. These products are single-use, disposable, and intended for inhalation only.
Device Story
AddiPak® Unit Dose Vials are pre-filled, single-use, disposable containers holding sterile water or 0.45% sodium chloride solution. Used in home, hospital, and sub-acute facilities, these vials are intended for use with non-ventilator nebulizers for lavage therapy or tracheal irrigation. The clinician twists the perforated, break-away cap to open the vial, which features inverted graduations for volume measurement. The device provides a sterile liquid medium for inhalation therapy. It benefits patients by facilitating airway hydration or irrigation as part of respiratory care.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical testing was performed. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including biocompatibility (cytotoxicity, sensitization, intracutaneous reactivity, material-mediated pyrogenicity), chemical characterization with toxicological risk assessment, and compliance with USP 661 and USP 788 standards. Stability and sterility testing were also conducted.
Technological Characteristics
Vials are constructed of Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE). They are manufactured via an aseptic Blow-Fill-Seal process. Available in 3mL and 5mL sizes. The device is a sterile, single-use, non-electronic, passive container. It conforms to USP monographs for Sterile Water for Inhalation and Sterile Sodium Chloride for Inhalation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients (infants ≥ 10kg, children, adolescents, adults) requiring lavage therapy or tracheal irrigation.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A nebulizer is a device intended to spray liquids in aerosol form into gases that are delivered directly to the patient for breathing. Heated, ultrasonic, gas, venturi, and refillable nebulizers are included in this generic type of device.

Dear Phyllis Kondor:
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 (the 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 available 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.
Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device"

Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality System (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, 21 CFR 820.30. Design controls; 21 CFR 820.90. Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review. the OS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).
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 Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 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 Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).

#### Summary of Clinical Testing
Not applicable.
#### Conclusion
The proposed AddiPak® Unit Dose Vial, Sterile Water and 0.45% Half Normal Saline Solution is substantially equivalent in
- Intended use for adding sterile water or saline solution with a nebulizer for tracheal irrigation or lavage ●
- . Design - used with a nebulizer and disposable prefilled container
- . Principles of operation and solutions similar to the predicate and the same as the references
The differences between the AddiPak® Unit Dose Vial. Sterile Water and 0.45% Half Normal Saline Solution and the predicate devices are:
- . Solution type – sterile water and 0.45% saline
- Size of the packaged solution
- Provided nebulizer - the proposed device does not include a nebulizer
- . Predicate can provide supplemental oxygen during aerosol therapy
