Intended Use
The ESPRIT ventilator is a microprocessor controlled, electrically powered, mechanical ventilator. It is intended for use by qualified medical personnel in providing continuous or intermittent ventilatory support for adult and pediatric patients as prescribed by a physician. The ESPRIT Ventilator is intended for use in either invasive or non-invasive applications.
Device Story
Esprit is a microprocessor-controlled, electrically powered mechanical ventilator; provides continuous or intermittent ventilatory support. Features include integrated air source (eliminating need for central/stand-alone compressors), variable oxygen concentration (21-100%), and battery backup (30-min primary, 3-hour secondary). User interface utilizes touch screen and graphical display. Used in hospitals (ICU, surgical recovery), subacute facilities, and surgery centers; operated by qualified medical personnel. Device delivers prescribed flows and pressures to patients. Reliability enhanced via HALT and ESS manufacturing processes. Healthcare providers monitor patient status via ventilator output; supports clinical decision-making for respiratory management.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Evidence consists of bench testing, environmental testing, and performance comparisons. Testing includes dielectric strength, electromagnetic emissions/susceptibility, vibration, shock, and ingress of liquids per IEC and MIL-STD standards. Waveform performance was compared to the 7200 ventilator predicate. Compliance with 'Draft Reviewer Guidance for Ventilators, July 1995' was demonstrated.
Technological Characteristics
Microprocessor-controlled, electrically powered mechanical ventilator. Features touch screen GUI. Integral air source (blower) or wall air supply. Oxygen mixing (21-100%). Power: AC, 30-min internal battery, 24 VDC secondary source. Tested to IEC 601-1, CISPR 11, IEC 801 series, and MIL-STD-461D. Manufacturing utilizes HALT and ESS. Software-controlled breathing system.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult and pediatric patients requiring continuous or intermittent ventilatory support in invasive or non-invasive applications, as prescribed by a physician.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A continuous ventilator (respirator) is a device intended to mechanically control or assist patient breathing by delivering a predetermined percentage of oxygen in the breathing gas. Adult, pediatric, and neonatal ventilators are included in this generic type of device.

## 2. 510(k) Summary
This 510/k) is being submitted by: Respironics. 1261 Liberty Way Vista CA., 92083. Phone number : 760-727-3500 FAX number: 760-727-8349
The contact personnel for this submittal are:
Paul L. Woodring, primary contact 760-734-3202
Kathy E. Moore, secondary contact 760-734-3221
This summary was prepared on March 23, 1998.
This 510(k) is for the Esprit critical care ventilator, product code (21CFR 868.5895, 73 CBK) The legally marketed predicate devices are the 7200 ventilator offered for sale by Nellcor-Puritan-Bennett; the BIRD Tbird offered for sale by BIRD Medical Products; and the Siemens SV300 offered for sale by Siemens-Elema AB, Electromedical Systems Division. The 7200 ventilator is currently used in both invasive and noninvasive applications. A comparison is also made to the Quantum non-invasive ventilator offered for sale by Healthdyne Technologies (now part of Respironics). Detailed comparisons of the devices can be found in Section 8- Comparative Analysis to Predicate Devices.
The ESPRIT ventilator is a microprocessor controlled, electrically powered, mechanical ventilator. The specific features of the product include:
- . Breathing system under microprocessor control.
- · User interface under microprocessor control. Uses "hyman interface" features associated with touch screen and graphical user interface technology. The specifics of the particular touch screen technology and its suitability to medical applications is covered in more detail in the principle of operation section.
- · Integral air source is built into the ventilator, eliminating the requirement for a central compressor and piped, medical grade wall air and/or an individual, stand alone compressor for each ventilator. The product will also be offered in a configuration without the blower in which case it will operate from a wall air supply.
- · Ability to provide variable oxygen concentrations (21% to 100% O2) from a 35 to 80 PSIG medical grade, oxygen gas source, including medical grade gas cylinders with suitable regulators.
- · Ability to operate on a re-chargeable primary battery for 30 minutes (nominal).

- · Ability to be powered by a secondary DC power source (24 VDC) for up to 3 hours.
- · Provide high product quality and reliability. ESPRIT has been designed using Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT), coupled with Environment Stress Screening (ESS) during manufacturing. Studies have shown that these techniques greatly eliminate reliability problems and are integral to the reliability of the product.
The Esprit Ventilator is intended for use by aualified medical personnel in providing continuous or intermittent ventilatory support for adult and pediatric patients as prescribed by a physician. The ESPRIT Ventilator is intended for use in either invasive or non-invasive applications.
The ESPRIT ventilator is intended to be marketed worldwide as a new ventilator that shall address the needs of low and moderate acuity subacute facilities in the US, surgical recovery units in hospitals, in ICU applications where more expensive options such as trending and waveforms are not required, in stand alone surgery centers in the US and international markets, as well as high acuity intensive care units (ICUs) in undeveloped and emerging nation, rest-of-world (ROW) markets. No medical claims are made regarding the ventilator. It produces the flows and pressures detailed in Section 8 - Comparative Analysis to Predicate Devices. These performance characteristics have been validated with the testing that is summarized in Sections 7 -Table Of Ventilator Requirements, 8 - Comparative Analysis to Predicate Devices and 10 - Environmental Testing.
The determination of equivalence is also based on environmental and lab testina. The ventilator has been tested according to the following environmental standards:
