Intended Use
The humidifier chambers for the SCT 3000 are indicated for use with the SCT 3000 unit and to hold water required to humidify the air being delivered to patients.
Device Story
Humidifier chambers function as reservoirs for water in heated respiratory gas humidification systems. Device receives water input; maintains water level for evaporation to humidify air delivered to patients via ventilator or respiratory support circuits. Used in hospital settings (ICU, anesthesia, respiratory therapy) and homecare; operated by clinicians or trained caregivers. Output is humidified gas delivered to patient airway. Benefits include prevention of mucosal drying and maintenance of airway moisture during mechanical ventilation or respiratory therapy. Chambers are disposable, single-use components.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on bench testing and design comparison to legally marketed predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Disposable humidifier chambers for heated respiratory gas humidifiers. Models include standard, autofeed, and low compressible volume configurations. Materials are medical-grade plastics. Designed for compatibility with Marquest SCT 3000 and Fisher & Paykel MR700/720/730 bases. Passive humidification principle via water evaporation. Non-electronic, mechanical accessory.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use with Marquest SCT 3000 and Fisher & Paykel MR700, MR720, and MR730 heated humidifiers to hold water for air humidification. Patient population includes adult and pediatric patients requiring respiratory gas humidification. Environment of use includes hospital (anesthesia, ICU, respiratory therapy) and homecare.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A respiratory gas humidifier is a device that is intended to add moisture to, and sometimes to warm, the breathing gases for administration to a patient. Cascade, gas, heated, and prefilled humidifiers are included in this generic type of device.
