Federal law (USA) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. ## Device Story Disposable manometer for measuring negative inspiratory force; connects to endotracheal tube. Clinician holds occlusion knob during patient inhalation to record maximum inspiratory pressure; memory pointer retains reading up to -60cm H2O. Knob rotation resets pointer. Used in hospital or transport settings by clinicians. Provides objective pressure data to assist in evaluating patient respiratory effort and clinical decision-making regarding weaning or respiratory support. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Performance and specifications verified against ISO 5356-1:1987 and ASTM F1054 standards for conical connectors. ## Technological Characteristics Mechanical manometer; 15mm and 22mm conical fittings per ASTM F1054; ISO 5356-1 compliant. Measures negative pressure via manual occlusion knob and memory pointer mechanism. No software or electronic components. ## Regulatory Identification An inspiratory airway pressure meter is a device used to measure the amount of pressure produced in a patient's airway during maximal inspiration. ## Predicate Devices - DHD Medical Products Negative Inspiratory Force Monitoring Kit ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

To record the maximum inspiratory pressure, the occlusion knob is held down during patient inhalation. The knob is released immediately after measurement. A memory pointer identifies and remains at the maximum inspiratory pressure to -60cm H2O. Rotating the memory pointer knob counterclockwise resets the memory pointer. {1}------------------------------------------------ ## ENCLOSURE L Premarket Notification (510(k) - Mercury Medical® Negative Inspiratory Force (NIF) Disposable Manometer #### Non-Confidential Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Page 2 of 2 January 29, 2004 Indicated Use: The Mercury Medical® Negative Inspiratory Force (NIF) Disposable Manometer is used to indicate inspiratory force. Federal law (USA) restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. Technical Characteristics: The device has the same technical characteristics for measuring negative pressure as the DHD Medical Products NIF Monitoring kit predicate device. Non-Clinical Data: Performance and specifications of the device are consistent with all requirements for this device type specified by ISO 5356-1: 1987 - Anesthetic and Respiratory Equipment-Conical connectors-Part 1: Cones and Sockets. ASTM F1054 - Standard Specification for Conical Fittings of 15mm and 22mm sizes. Environment of Use: Hospital/Transport Conclusions: The comparison to the predicate devices demonstrates that the proposed device is safe and effective and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the seal of the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) of the United States of America.

Clearwater, FL 33762 Re: K032593 Trade/Device Name: Mercury Medical Negative Inspiratory Force (NIF) Disposable Manometer Regulation Number: 21 CFR 868.1780 Regulation Name: Meter, Airway Pressure (Inspiratory Force) Regulatory Class: Class II Product Code: 73 BXR Dated: December 18, 2003 Received: December 19, 2003 Dear Mr. Glover: 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 cnactment 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) 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. 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 (PMA), 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 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. 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 {3}------------------------------------------------ Page 2 - Mr. Wayne Glover and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
