The Vapor 2000 is intended for vaporization and delivery of a controlled amount of liquid anesthetic agent. The Vapor 2000 is designed and labeled accordingly for use with Enflurane, Isoflurane, Halothane, and Sevoflurane,
Device Story
Dräger-Vapor 2000 is a concentration-calibrated, non-heated vaporizer for liquid anesthetic agents (Enflurane, Isoflurane, Halothane, Sevoflurane). Device integrates into anesthesia delivery systems to enrich fresh gas flow with controlled vapor concentrations. Features include vaporizing chamber bypass, multiple filling system options (funnel, key-index, Quik-Fill), and a transport mode to prevent spillage/leakage and isolate the vaporizing chamber. Operated by clinicians in clinical settings. Output is a controlled concentration of anesthetic vapor, enabling precise anesthesia delivery to patients. Larger reservoir capacity compared to predecessor.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Compliance with ASTM Standard F 1161-88 demonstrated. Testing evaluated concentration output stability under varying conditions: temperature, gas flow, duration of use, tilting, and back pressure.
Technological Characteristics
Non-heated, concentration-calibrated vaporizer. Mechanical design with vaporizing chamber bypass. Filling systems: funnel, key-index, or Quik-Fill. Includes transport mode for chamber isolation. Complies with ASTM F 1161-88. No electronic or software components described.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as a non-heated calibrated vaporizer to enrich fresh gas flow in an anesthesia delivery system with controlled anesthetic vapor. Intended for use with Enflurane, Isoflurane, Halothane, or Sevoflurane. Not for use with desflurane or within an anesthetic breathing system. Prescription use only.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An anesthetic vaporizer is a device used to vaporize liquid anesthetic and deliver a controlled amount of the vapor to the patient.

### Device Description:
The Dräger-Vapor 2000 (Vapor 2000) is a concentration calibrated non-heated vaporizer for vaporizing liquid anesthetic agents.
## Intended Use:
The Vapor 2000 is intended for vaporization and delivery of a controlled amount of liquid anesthetic agent. The Vapor 2000 is designed and labeled accordingly for use with Enflurane, Isoflurane, Halothane, and Sevoflurane,
### Substantial Equivalence:
The Vapor 2000 is substantially equivalent to the Dräger-Vapor 19.1 (Vapor 19.1). Both are concentration calibrated, non-heated vaporizers for vaporizing liquid anestheiic agents with a vaporizing chamber bypass. Both the Vapor 2000 and Vapor 19.1 are available with attached funnel or key-index filling systems. The Vapor 2000 will also be available with the Quik-Fill™ filling system.
The Vapor 2000 differs slightly from the Vapor 19.1 in that the Vapor 2000 has a transport mode which secures the vaporizer from spillage of liquid agent, leakage of anesthetic vapor, and closes off the vaporizing chamber isolating liquid agent or vapors from the rest of the vaporizer.
{1}------------------------------------------------
The Vapor 2000 has a larger reservoir than the Vapor 19.1.
The Vapor 2000 and the Vapor 19.1 have the same intended use and principal of operation and are substantially equivalent.
Qualification of the Vapor 2000 included testing to demonstrate compliance with ASTM Standard F 1161-88, and the effect of temperature, gas flow, duration of use, tilting, and back pressure on concentration output.

Dear Mr. Brennan:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Requlation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
