## Intended Use

The intended use of the Mercury module with Capnostat 5 is to provide: - spirometric, and carbon dioxide monitoring in neonatal, pediatric and adult patients during general anesthesia and in the intensive care unit (ICU) and the emergency department (ED). Separate combination CO2/flow sensors are provided for adult, pediatric and neonatal use.

## Device Story

Module monitors respiratory airflow, airway pressure, and CO2; inputs derived from patient airway circuit via Capnostat 5 sensor; flow calculated by measuring pressure drop across known resistance; CO2 measured via infrared light absorption; output provides continuous physiological data for clinicians in anesthesia, ICU, and ED settings; assists in respiratory status assessment and clinical decision-making; benefits include non-invasive, real-time monitoring of patient ventilation.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Module for flow and CO2 monitoring; uses infrared absorption for CO2 and pressure drop across resistance for flow; connects to patient airway circuit; compatible with adult, pediatric, and neonatal sensors; standalone module component.

## Regulatory Identification

A monitoring spirometer is a device used to measure continuously a patient's tidal volume (volume of gas inhaled by the patient during each respiration cycle) or minute volume (the tidal volume multiplied by the rate of respiration for 1 minute) for the evaluation of the patient's ventilatory status.

## Predicate Devices

- NICO monitor, Model 7300 ([K030886](/device/K030886.md))

Description of Device: The Mercury module with Capnostat 5 is intended for non-invasive monitoring of the inspired and expired airflow and airway pressure of intention norminds for monthsive non emergency room (ER) patients, as well as capnography in all of these clinical settings. It is intended to serve the same purposes as the flow and carbon dioxide monitoring component of the NICO monitor

Intended Use of the Device: Mercury Module with Capnostat 5 CO2 sensor has the same intended use as the predicate device. For reference, the inter of the Mercury Module with Capnostal 5 CO2 sensor is to provide spirometric, and carbon dioxide monitoring in neonatal, pediatric and addit patients during general anesthesia and in the internation in heolidar, pediative and addit
(CU) (ED).

Technological Characteristics The Mercury module with Capnostat 5 is the flow and carbon dioxide monitoring component of the presently 510(k) cleared NICO with MARS monitor. It has been designed to include all of the functionality of the flow and carbon dioxide monitoring components of NCO with CO massurament workilling for a with Capnostat 5 is intended to provide all of the existing flow and CO2 measurement capabilities of the NICO Model 7300 of continuous monitoring of respiratory flow and pressure, and CO2 during anesthesia and intensive care and in the emergency department. The flow sensors connect to a patient airway circuit and provide physiological information to the Mercury module. The parameters directly measured and computed by the module (when connected to a Capnostal 5 sensor) include airway flow and pressure, volume, and CO2. The monitor calculates flow by measuring the pressure drop across a known resistance placed in the breathing circuit. CO2 is measured as the absorption of a known intensity of infrared light by CO2 molecules in the airway.

Dear Mr. Mader:

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 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) 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.
