The Fabius Tiro can monitor inspired oxygen concentration, breathing pressure, and respiratory volume. Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician. ## Device Story Continuous flow anesthesia system; provides spontaneous, manually assisted, or automatic ventilation; delivers anesthetic gases/vapors; monitors inspired oxygen, breathing pressure, and respiratory volume. Used in clinical settings by physicians/anesthesia providers. Core components include control module, gas flow control, ventilator, and breathing system. Available in trolley-mount or wall-mount configurations. Features integrated vaporizer mounting and medical gas pipeline connections. Secondary gas source support via pin-index hanger yokes and internal regulators. Output displayed on graphics screen for clinician monitoring of patient respiratory status during anesthesia. Device modifications from predicate include reduced vaporizer capacity (one vs. two), relocated gas pipeline connections, and updated yoke assembly configurations. Software remains functionally identical to predicate, with only display name updated. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Qualification included hazard analysis, system-level qualification, and verification tests. No clinical data provided. ## Technological Characteristics Continuous flow anesthesia system. Components: control module, gas flow control, ventilator, breathing system. Configurations: trolley-mount or wall-mount. Gas supply: medical gas pipeline and pin-index hanger yokes for O2/N2O/Air cylinders. Internal regulators. Software: embedded firmware for system control and graphics display. No functional software changes from predicate. ## Regulatory Identification A gas machine for anesthesia is a device used to administer to a patient, continuously or intermittently, a general inhalation anesthetic and to maintain a patient's ventilation. The device may include a gas flowmeter, vaporizer, ventilator, breathing circuit with bag, and emergency air supply. A gas machine for analgesia is a device used to administer to a patient an analgesic agent, such as a nitrous oxide-oxygen mixture (maximum concentration of 70 percent nitrous oxide). ## Predicate Devices - Fabius GS Anesthesia System ([K011404](/device/K011404.md)) - OBA-1 Anesthesia Unit ([K000859](/device/K000859.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Telford, Pennsylvania 18969 USA | | Establishment Registration No.: 2517967 | | | Devices to which substantial
equivalence is claimed: | Fabius GS Anesthesia System – K011404
OBA-1 Anesthesia Unit – K000859 | ### Device Description: The modified Fabius GS (Fabius Tiro) is a continuous flow gas anesthesia system. #### Intended Use: The Fabius Tiro may be used for spontaneous, manually assisted, or automatic ventilation of patients during anesthesia, and delivery of gases and anesthetic vapor. The Fabius Tiro can monitor inspired oxygen concentration, breathing pressure, and respiratory volume. #### Substantial Equivalence: The Fabius Tiro is a modification to the current Fabius GS Anesthesia System (K011404). The Fabius Tiro incorporates the same control module, gas flow control module, ventilator and breathing system subassemblies of the Fabius GS into a basic core module. Two versions of the Fabius Tiro are available; one that is designed to be mounted on a trolley and one that is designed to interface with other manufacturers' wall mounting solutions. The differences between the Fabius Tiro and Fabius GS are: - Vaporizer mounting system: The Fabius GS can accommodate the mounting of up to two vaporizers and incorporates a mechanical exclusion system to ensure that only one vaporizer can be activated at one time. The Fabius Tiro can accommodate the mounting of only one vaporizer. - Medical Gas Pipeline connections: On the Fabius GS, the medical gas pipeline connections are located on the back. On the Fabius Tiro, the medical gas pipeline connections are located on the right side (when viewed from the front). {1}------------------------------------------------ - Pin-index hanger yokes: The Fabius GS has three pin-index hanger yokes mounted on the back of the machine to accommodate the mounting of two Oxygen and either a Nitrous Oxide or Air cylinder as secondary gas sources. Cylinder regulators are mounted internally and cylinder contents gauges are on the front of the machine. The Fabius Tiro wall mount version has one external tethered pin-index yoke, regulator and cylinder contents gauge assembly, which can be mounted to an Oxygen cylinder as a secondary gas source. The tethered yoke assembly is similar to the oxygen manifold for one e-cylinder and pipeline supply offered by OBAMED Inc. for the OBA-1 Anesthesia Unit (K000859) in that both contain a yoke assembly, regulator, cylinder contents gauge, and a connecting hose. The manifold and check valve are internally mounted on the Fabius Tiro while the manifold and check valve are external (part of the yoke assembly) on the OBA-1. The yoke assembly is standard equipment on the Fabius Tiro and is permanently connected to the right side of the machine while the assembly is optional for the OBA-1 and is connected to the machine via a DISS connector. The Fabius Tiro trolley mount version has one pin index hanger yoke mounted on the back of the machine to accommodate the mounting of an Oxygen cylinder as a secondary gas source and an optional second pin-index hanger yoke is available to accommodate a Nitrous Oxide cylinder. As with the Fabius GS, cylinder regulators are mounted internally and cylinder contents gauges are on the front of the machine. - -Software: There are no functional or operational changes to the software version from previously qualified software. The only software change was to change "Fabius GS" to "Fabius Tiro" as the name shown on the graphics display. Qualification of the Fabius Tiro included a hazard analysis, system level qualification, and verification tests. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the seal for the Department of Health & Human Services - USA.
