## Intended Use

Is intended to measure airway pressure when used with positive pressure devices. The device alarms when the airway pressure falls outside of the user selected high and low alarm limits and displays peak pressure and real-time airway pressures. It may be used with positive pressure devices which do not include pressure measurement capabilities, e.g. resuscitation bags or basic ventilators, or as an independent backup pressure monitor for devices with pressure measurement capability. Environment of use is hospital, home, and sub-acute institutions. The device has been designed for stationary and intra-institution transport only.

## Device Story

Microprocessor-controlled airway pressure monitor; measures patient airway pressure via pressure tubing with in-line filter and connector. Inputs: pneumatic pressure from patient circuit. Processing: solid-state pressure transducer converts pressure to digital signals; microprocessor compares against user-set high/low alarm limits. Outputs: digital/graphical real-time and peak pressure readouts; audible/visual alarms for pressure limit violations, power loss, or low battery. Used in hospitals, sub-acute institutions, and home care; operated by clinicians or caregivers. Provides continuous monitoring for patients on positive pressure devices (e.g., resuscitation bags, basic ventilators). Benefits: alerts users to pressure deviations, ensuring patient safety during ventilation.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only. Device performance verified against predicate through comparison of technical specifications, alarm accuracy, and environmental testing.

## Technological Characteristics

Microprocessor-controlled; solid-state pressure transducer; AC/DC power (120/230V AC or 12V DC). Materials: PVC and K-resin for tubing/connectors. Form factor: 6.5" x 3.4" x 5", approx. 2 lbs. Connectivity: standalone. Standards: IEC 601-1, UL 260, IEC 601-1-2.

## Regulatory Identification

An airway pressure monitor is a device used to measure the pressure in a patient's upper airway. The device may include a pressure gauge and an alarm.

The Criterion 40 is a microprocessor controlled device that measures and monitor patient airway pressure. produces continuous positive airway pressure. It measures low and high pressures and advises the user if the pressure fall outside the user-set ranges. It operates on AC / DC power and provides digital and graphically readouts of the pressure - real-time and peak pressures. It connects into the patient circuit with the use of a pressure tubing with integral in-line filter and a connector.

Premarket Notification 510(k) Section 2 - Certification and Summaries Criterion 40

#### Non-Confidential Summary of Safety and Effectiveness page 4 of 4 January 4, 2000

The Criterion 40 Airway Pressure Monitor is viewed as substantially equivalent to the following predicate device - Monaghan CM 5000 Airway Pressure Monitor (APM) cleared under K871083 and other modifications under K873953, K925673, and K931394.

The differences between the Criterion 40 and the predicate device are minimal. There are no significant differences that affect the safety or effectiveness of the intended device as compared to the predicate devices. They are viewed as substantially equivalent to the predicate devices since they:

- 1. Have the same intended uses
	- 1.1 Intended for the measurement and monitoring patient airway pressure
	- 1.2 Provide high and low alarms
- 2. Have the same environments for use
	- 2.1 Used in hospitals, sub-acute institutions, home care settings
	- 2.2 The device has been designed for stationary and intra-institution transport only.
- 3. Are similar in design
	- 3.1 Utilize the same design and functional features
- 4. They employ the same technology
	- 4.1 Utilize a pressure transducer
	- 4.2 Utilized tubing to interface with patient circuit
- 5. Are made of identical materials
	- 5.1 Utilize similar materials for the monitor and accessories

| Intended Use : | Is intended to measure airway pressure when used with positive pressure devices. The device alarms when the airway pressure falls outside of the user selected high and low alarm limits and displays peak pressure and real-time airway pressures. It may be used with positive pressure devices which do not include pressure measurement capabilities, e.g. resuscitation bags or basic ventilators, or as an independent backup pressure monitor for devices with |

ors, or cies with pressure measurement capability. Environment of use is hospital, home, and sub-acute institutions. The device has been designed for stationary and intra-institution transport only.
