Indications for Use
To provide visual indication of a patient's airway pressure during ventilation. It may be attached to the manometer port or proximal port on ventilation devices such as resuscitation bags, hyperinflation bags, CPAP mask, or CPAP circuits.
Device Story
Disposable pressure manometer provides visual airway pressure indication during ventilation; attaches to resuscitation bags, hyperinflation bags, CPAP masks, or circuits. Device consists of clear housing, internal spring, and indicator float. Positive pressure in ventilation circuit compresses spring, moving float along printed scale to display pressure (0-60 cm H2O). Used in hospitals, clinics, home, and emergency settings by clinicians. Provides real-time visual feedback to assist in monitoring ventilation pressures; helps prevent over-pressurization via integrated fixed leak. Single-patient use; non-sterile.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing included accuracy and repeatability across the full pressure range (0-60 cm H2O), real-time and accelerated aging (1 year), mechanical drop testing, environmental testing, and positional orientation testing. Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993-1:2009 (cytotoxicity, sensitization, intracutaneous reactivity). All samples met pass/fail criteria with accuracy of ± 3 cm H2O.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Polycarbonate (housing, float, cover), SUS 304 stainless steel (spring). Sensing principle: Mechanical spring-loaded float. Form factor: Disposable, single-patient use. Pressure range: 0-60 cm H2O. Accuracy: ± 3 cm H2O. Connectivity: None (mechanical). Sterilization: Non-sterile.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring airway or circuit pressure monitoring during ventilation. No specific age or gender restrictions. Contraindications not specified.

#### Device Description:
The Westmed disposable pressure manometer is a means of providing visual indication of patient airway pressure during ventilation.
The device consists of:
- 1. Clear housing with a printed pressure scale
- 2. A float with indicator and
- 3. Spring
It functions by reacting to the positive present in the ventilation device. When pressure is in the device the float moves up or down to indicate the pressure of the system. This manometer displays the pressure in the "circuit". The proposed design incorporates a calibrated spring, which has demonstrated reasonable accuracy over the expected clinical pressure range -0-60 cm H2O. The performance characteristics are that the measured pressures are accurate to:
- + 3 cm H2O up to 60 cm H2O
It is a single patient, disposable, packaged non-sterile device.

#### Indications for Use:
To provide visual indication of a patient's airway pressure during ventilation. It may be attached to the manometer port or proximal port on ventilation devices such as resuscitation bags, hyperinflation bags, CPAP mask, or CPAP circuits.
For patients that the clinician desires to monitor or measure airway or circuit pressure.
Home, Physician office, Hospital, Sub-acute Institutions, Emergency services or anywhere measurement of airway pressure is desired.
#### Substantial Equivalence Discussion:
Table 1 compares the key features of the proposed Westmed DPM with the identified predicate and demonstrates that the proposed device is substantially equivalent.
In summary, one can conclude that substantial equivalence is met based upon the following:
#### Indications for Use -
The indications for use are identical for the proposed device when compared to the predicate -K003497.
Discussion – Each device is indicated for use to measure pressure in a circuit or airway.
#### Technology and construction -
The design, components, shape, size, etc. are equivalent to the predicates - K003497. Discussion – The design is simple housing with a float that sits on a spring that goes up or down based upon the pressure in the device. There are markings to indicate the pressure observed as well as a fixed leak to avoid over pressurization. There are no differences in the technological characteristics of the proposed device, predicate and reference devices. The only differences related to the measured pressure ranges: 0-50 cm H2O for the predicate K003467; 0-80 cm H2O for the reference K954486; and the proposed which is 0-60 cm H2O; the accuracy range of the reference K040991. The differences in measured pressure range and accuracy across the pressure range do not raise any new safety or effectiveness concerns.
#### Environment of Use –
The environments of use are identical to predicate - K003497 - EMS pressure manometer. Discussion - The environments of use are identical to the predicates - K003497.
#### Patient Population -
The patient population is defined as patients where the clinician wants to measure or monitor circuit or airway pressure. Therefore there is no specific patient population. Discussion - The patient populations are equivalent to the predicates - K003497.
#### Non-Clinical Testing Summary -
We performed a number of tests including comparative pressure accuracy and the results demonstrated equivalent performance demonstrating the proposed device is equivalent to the -K003497 – EMS pressure manometer.
Testing included:
- · Accuracy and Repeatability across the full pressure range

- Age testing real-time and simulated to 1 year
- Mechanical testing Drop test ●
- Environmental testing .
- Positional testing
Summary:
- Accuracy and Repeatability
- O Samples were pressurized across the range and confirmed with the digital manometer
- . Aging, Mechanical, Environmental, Positional Orientation, and Accuracy
- Samples were dropped o
- Samples which had real-time aging and samples in accelerated aging were o pressurized to various pressures and confirmed via digital manometer
- Each sample was tested multiple times o
All samples met the pass/fail criteria
- · + 3 cm H2O up to 60 cm H2O
All testing demonstrated that the proposed device is substantially equivalent to the predicate and reference devices.
#### Biocompatibility
Based upon G95-1 and ISO 10993-1:2009 the proposed device would be considered as having the following patient contact classification:
- External Communication (Indirect contact) for all materials .
- Tissue contact ●
- Limited duration (<24 hours)
We performed the following ISO 10993-1 tests:
- Cytotoxicity; Sensitization; Intracutaneous Reactivity / Irritation ●
The test requirements were met for the materials to be considered as non-reactive.
#### Discussion of Differences:
The construction, design, basic materials of the proposed device is similar to the predicate. That is having a housing with a spring and float whereby when pressurized the float moves up or down to indicate the pressure within the system.
The only difference between the proposed device and the predicate is that the maximum displayed pressure is up to 60 cmH2O vs. 50 cmH2O. The devices to which these devices are attached can generate higher pressures but their typical operating range can be as high as 80 cmH2O (reference K954486). The difference in a higher maximum pressure does not raise any new safety and effectiveness issues. It should be noted that the reference device, K040991 Ambu Pressure Monitor has a pressure range up to 60 cm H2O and the accuracy across the pressure range equivalent to the proposed device.
#### Substantial Equivalence Conclusion:
The sponsor has demonstrated through performance testing, design and features, and non-clinical testing that the proposed device to be as safe and as effective as predicate and thus can be considered as substantially equivalent.
