Principle: ultrasonic technology measures gas density to determine oxygen concentration. Output: digital display of concentration, flow, and pressure. Used by service technicians in hospitals, nursing homes, and repair centers to verify concentrator performance. Not for patient use; not for continuous monitoring. Benefits: provides service personnel with diagnostic data to ensure concentrator output meets specifications.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Device tested for electrical, mechanical, and environmental performance requirements per 1993 FDA Reviewer Guidance for home use respiratory devices. Met all performance criteria.

Technological Characteristics

Ultrasonic sensor for oxygen concentration; battery-powered; standalone; dimensions/form factor not specified. Measures concentration (73-95.6%), flow (0-6 LPM), and pressure (0-10 PSI). Operating range +10 to +35 degrees Celsius. Dry indoor environment use only.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use by service personnel to evaluate oxygen concentrator output (oxygen concentration, flow rate, and pressure). Not for patient use or continuous monitoring of oxygen delivery.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An oxygen gas analyzer is a device intended to measure the concentration of oxygen in respiratory gases by techniques such as mass spectrometry, polarography, thermal conductivity, or gas chromatography. This generic type of device also includes paramagnetic analyzers.

## Intended Use

The Invacare Check O2 Concentrator Analyzer device is a tool for use by service personnel to evaluate the output of an oxygen concentrator. Its intended use is to provide information to the service technician regarding oxygen content, flow rate, and pressure, of oxygen produced by an oxygen concentrator. It is not intended to be used by patients who are prescribed oxygen, nor is it intended to continuously monitor or confirm oxygen delivery to patient.

Intended Environment: The Check O2 is intended to be used in an environment where Oxygen Concentrators are serviced or repaired. This includes Hospitals, Nursing Homes, Extended Care Facilities, Patient Homes and Respiratory Device Service and Repair Centers.

# Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence

### A. Device Description

The Invacare Check O2 Plus is a lightweight, battery powered device which measures oxygen gas concentration, flow and pressure from an oxygen concentrator. The device is a standalone product and does not have any accessories, power supply adapters or fittings. This device is intended as a tool for use by oxygen concentrator service personnel, to evaluate the output of an oxygen concentrator. It is not intended to be used by patients who are prescribed oxygen, nor is it intended to continuously monitor or confirm delivery of oxygen to a patient.

The device connects to an oxygen concentrator through existing therapy tubing presently in use throughout the industry. The device is designed and calibrated for use only on the species mixture inherent with the output flow of a concentrator. Information provided is the concentrator's oxygen concentration, flow and pressure. Continuous monitoring of output gas flow between an operating concentrator and a patient is not possible. Use with any downstream devices or patient accessories is also not possible.

It is further intended that this device be used on clean, dry and unhumidified concentrator output In conjunction with the operating temperature of oxygen concentrators, the ambient gas. temperature range of the Check O2 Plus is within the range of +10 to +35 degrees Celsius and should remain in a dry indoor environment.

The concentrator gas is expected to fall within the following ranges and will be measured with the accuracy's listed below.

| Concentration: | 73% to 95.6% oxygen, ± 2% |
|----------------|------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Flow: | 0 to 6 Liters per minute, ± 0.3 L/M (5% of full scale) ± 1 digit |
| Pressure: | 0 to 10 PSI, ± 2% full scale |
| | 0 to 68.95 kPa, ± 2% full scale |

# A. Substantial Equivalence

The Invacare Check O2 Plus covered by this substantially equivalent to other legally marketed oxygen analyzer devices. Specifically, the Invacare Check O2 Plus is substantially equivalent to the Puritan Bennett Corporations' Model "Companion ROCI" (K920338 8/27/92). The Invacare Check O2 Plus is comparable this device in several aspects.

The Invacare Check O2 Plus has the same intended use, principle of operation and technological characteristics. Both devices are battery powered and have similar performance characteristics, features and specifications for accuracy of measured output. Finally, both sensors utilize ultrasonic technology for measuring oxygen concentration. This is a proven technique for measuring oxygen concentration as a function of gas density.

The Check O2 Plus differs from its predicate device in that it has the capability of measuring pressure and flow, as well as oxygen content. As such it is a more complete tool for use in analyzing concentrator output and measuring concentrator performance. Additionally, the Check O2 Plus device measures oxygen content within the range of < 73% to 95.6%, while the predicate device measure oxygen concentrator output in the ≤ 70 to < 85% range.

The Invacare Check O2 Plus differs from the Puritan Bennett device in that the Puritan Bennett device is designed as an optional retrofittable upgrade for an oxygen concentrator, that continuously monitors oxygen content, and informs the concentrator user whether oxygen purity is within acceptable ranges. This differs from the Invacare device, which is intended only as a tool for measuring concentrator output performance, and not as a means of continuously monitoring oxygen purity levels.

Although there are some differences between the Check O2 and its predicate device, these differences are minor and raise no new questions of safety and effectiveness. We believe, therefore, that the Invacare Check O2 Plus is substantially equivalent to the predicate device referenced in this submission, and trust that the information provided will be sufficient to enable FDA to find the Invacare Check O2 Plus substantially equivalent to the predicate device,

# Performance Data

The Invacare Check O2 Plus was tested in accordance with the electrical, mechanical and environmental performance requirements for home use respiratory devices set forth in the Anesthesiology and Respiratory Devices Branch's November 1993 document entitled "Reviewer Guidance for Premarket Notification Submissions". In all instances the Check O2 Plus met the required performance criteria and functioned as intended.
