Intended Use
The use of the OmniCap™ capnometer is indicated to provide measurement and monitoring of carbon dioxide concentration of the expired breath and respiration rate of adult patients. It is an adjunct in patient assessment, to be used in conjunction with other methods to determine clinical signs and symptoms by or on the order of a qualified healthcare provider. Environment of Use: Hospitals, Sub-acute care facilities and intra-hospital transport.
Device Story
OmniCap is a capnometer for adult patients; monitors expired CO2 concentration and respiration rate. System components: monitor, colorimetric litmus sensor cartridge, AC power adapter. Principle of operation: miniature vacuum pump draws expired breath through sensor cartridge; colorimetric litmus media changes color based on CO2 concentration; internal color sensor detects media color change; monitor converts optical data to numerical CO2 value (mmHg) and respiration rate. Used in hospitals, sub-acute facilities, and intra-hospital transport by healthcare providers. Output displayed on monitor; provides continuous monitoring with low/high alarms for EtCO2 and respiration rate. Benefits include adjunct clinical assessment of patient respiratory status. Device operates on AC or rechargeable NiMH battery.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing included compliance with ANSI/AAMI/ES 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, and ISO 80601-2-55. Comparative performance testing against the IR-based predicate device was conducted at various CO2 concentrations and respiration rates. Results confirmed accuracy and repeatability of CO2 and respiration rate measurements, shelf-life, and effects of aging met specifications.
Technological Characteristics
Colorimetric litmus media sensor cartridge; optical color sensor; miniature vacuum pump; rechargeable NiMH battery; AC power adapter (IEC 60601-1 compliant). Dimensions: 5.8"H x 4.8"W x 1.3"D. Weight: 320g. Standards: ANSI/AAMI/ES 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, ISO 80601-2-55. No patient-contacting materials in gas pathway.

#### Device Comparison
#### Substantial Equivalence Discussion
We have identified the primary predicate as the Oridion Microcap / Nellcor N-85, K981114, for its performance characteristics and intended use for measurement and monitoring of end-tidal carbon dioxide and respiration rate.
There is a difference in the technology of measuring the CO2 in the expired gas between the predicate and the subject device. Namely the OmniCap uses colorimetric litmus media which has been treated with chemical and a color sensor to detect carbon dioxide by color change of the media, while the Nellcor N-85 uses an infrared absorption (IR) technique to determine the level of carbon dioxide.
FDA has cleared CO2 detector, indicators, and measurement devices which utilize colormetric technology. We have identified the reference device Maxtec FloCap, K133540, for the similar technology and intended use. In the case of the reference device, the user must visually determine and read the color change to determine the CO2 level whereas the subject device, OmniCap, has a color sensor which detects the color change of the media and presents the change as a %CO2.
We believe that the technological characteristics are testable with acceptable methods.
Table 1 outlines the characteristics to support the primary predicate and reference device rationale for substantial equivalence.

## Substantial Equivalence Discussion and Rationale
In Table 2 we have compared the OmniCap to the predicate and reference devices for equivalence of:
Indications – The indications are for measuring and monitoring exhaled CO2 and respiratory rate in adult patients by qualified healthcare providers.
Discussion – The indications are similar to the predicate - Oridion MicroCap / Nellcor N-85 (K981114) but the predicate also includes SpO2 monitoring which is not included in the subject device. The measurement of expired CO2 can be and is a standalone physiological parameter. The predicate is a multi-parameter patient monitor. The subject device as an end-tidal CO2 monitor only does not affect the intended diagnostic use of measuring and monitoring end-tidal CO2.
Patient Population – The population for the subject device is for adults only. Discussion - The population of the predicate - Oridion MicroCap / Nellcor N-85 (K981114) includes neonates to adults. This difference which is included in the labeling does not affect substantial equivalence for the intended use.
Environment of Use - The subject device does not include pre-hospital while the predicate and reference devices include a larger range of environments of use. Discussion - This difference does not affect substantial equivalence.
Design and Technology - The OmniCap is using a combination of technologies, colormetric for detecting the amount of CO- present and a sensor to detect the color change and convert it to a numerical value. Discussion - The reference device - Maxtec FloCap (K133540) uses colormetric CO2 detection but does not quantify it except in a range which the user ten confirms. While the predicate - Oridion MicroCap / Nellcor N-85 (K981114) uses infrared to detect, measure and display a numerical value of CO2 detected and respiratory rate. While the technologies of the OmniCap are a combination of both, we have confirmed that
the accuracy of the OmniCap meets the performance requirements of ISO 80601-2-55 like the predicate. These differences have been evaluated and do not raise new concerns of safety and effectiveness.
Performance Specifications - The performance of the OmniCap complies with the applicable requirement specifications of the FDA recognized standard ISO 80601-2-55.
Discussion – Both the subject device and the predicate - Nellcor N-85 (K981114) meet the performance requirements of ISO 80601-2-55. We note that the reference device – Maxtec FloCap (K133540) does not meet ISO 80601-2-55. Differences noted are: range of measured EtCO2, range of measured respiratory rate, response time and sampling flow rate. These differences in performance are disclosed to the user and while narrower in scope, the intended use and compliance with ISO 80601-2-55 is non-specific. We have demonstrated that the differences do not raise concerns of safety and effectiveness that can be addressed in labeling.
Compliance with standards - The subject device has been tested to a number of standards, ISO 80601-2-55, ES 60601-1, and IEC 60601-1-2 and complies with the applicable requirements. Discussion - The predicate - Oridion MicroCap / Nellcor N-85 (K981114) also complies with these standards. These do not raise concerns of safety and effectiveness.
# Performance Testing - Non-clinical
## Bench -
We have performed bench tests and found that the met all requirements specifications and standards requirements and was found to be equivalent in comparison to the predicate. Testing includes the following:
{9}------------------------------------------------
- ANSI/AAMI/ES 60601-1 ●
- IEC 60601-1-2 ●
- ISO 80601-2-55
| 510(k) Summary |
|----------------|
| Page 7 of 7 |
| 27-Dec-17 |
In addition and as part of the above standard we performed testing for:
- . Comparative performance to the predicate - IR technology
- Tested as various concentrations of CO2and respiration rate o
- . Accuracy and repeatability of measured CO2the sensor cartridges
- . Respiration rate accuracy and repeatability
- Shelf-life and Effects of Aging ●
- Useful Life .
The results demonstrate that the device performs as intended and can be found to be substantially equivalent to the predicate and reference devices.
## Biocompatibility and Materials -
There are no patient contacting materials.
## Differences and Substantial Equivalence Conclusion
The OmniCap is substantially equivalent to the predicate in: indications for use, patient population, environment of use, technology characteristics, materials, specifications / performance and compliance with international standards. The differences do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness when compared to the predicate and reference devices for the proposed indications for use.
