The SmartVest® System is indicated when external chest manipulation is the physician's treatment of choice to enhance mucus transport. ## Device Story System delivers high-frequency chest wall oscillation (HFCWO) to promote airway clearance and bronchial drainage. Components: Air-Pulse Generator, inflatable vest, connector hose. Generator uses dual-acting pneumatic diaphragm to produce oscillating pressurized air-pulses; pulses inflate/deflate vest against patient's chest wall. Used in clinical or home settings; operated by patient or caregiver under physician direction. Control panel allows adjustment of pulse frequency and pressure amplitude. Software features include multi-directional display and automatic sleep mode for unattended shutdown. Output: mechanical oscillation of chest wall to mobilize bronchial secretions. Benefits: improved mucus transport. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Comparative performance testing between subject and predicate devices measured pressure imparted to the chest wall. Functional performance and electrical safety testing demonstrated no change in output performance or safety. ## Technological Characteristics Powered percussor (Class II). Dual-acting pneumatic diaphragm technology for air-pulse generation. Components: Air-Pulse Generator, inflatable vest, connector hose. Features: adjustable frequency and pressure amplitude, multi-directional control panel display, automatic sleep mode. Software-controlled generator. Sterilization: not specified. ## Regulatory Identification A powered percussor is a device that is intended to transmit vibration through a patient's chest wall to aid in freeing mucus deposits in the lung in order to improve bronchial drainage and that may be powered by electricity or compressed gas. ## Predicate Devices - MedPulse® Respiratory Vest System, Model 2000 ez ([K040367](/device/K040367.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

510(K) number: K040367 | ### Description of Device: The proposed SmartVest® Airway Clearance System, Model TL is designed to deliver high-frequency chest wall oscillation to promote airway clearance and improve bronchial drainage. The SmartVest® System is indicated when external chest manipulation is the physician's treatment of choice to enhance mucus transport. The primary components of the SmartVest® System include an Air-Pulse Generator, an Inflatable Vest and Vest/Generator Connector Hose. The Air-Pulse Generator produces oscillating pressurized air-pulses that are delivered to the Inflatable Vest by the Vest/Generator Hose. The air-pulses produced by the Generator cause the Vest to rapidly inflate and deflate against the external chest wall of a patient to promote airway clearance by creating high-frequency chest wall oscillation (HFCWO) resulting in mobilization of bronchial secretions. #### Intended Use: The Electromed SmartVest® Airway Clearance System, Model TL is designed to deliver high-frequency chest wall oscillation to promote airway clearance and improve bronchial drainage. The SmartVest® System is indicated when external chest manipulation is the physician's treatment of choice to enhance mucus transport. {1}------------------------------------------------ #### 510(k) SUMMARY (continued) #### Comparison of Technological Characteristics: The proposed SmartVest® Airway Clearance System, Model TL has the same technological characteristics and principles of operation as Electromed's previously cleared Medpulse® Respiratory Vest System Model 2000 ez (K040367). The proposed SmartVest® System will continue to use the same method of generating pressurized airpulses as the predicate, i.e., by dual acting pneumatic diaphragm technology. The user of the proposed System will continue to be able to adjust air pulse frequency and pressure amplitude in the same manner as the predicate system. The first reason for this submission is due to a component change to the Air-Pulse Generator's pneumatic diaphragm. The proposed change reduces the size of the pneumatic diaphragm and therefore the Generator's over-all size. The second proposed change is to add several features to the Generator Control Panel that required software changes. These features allow the user to view the Control Panel in multiple directions during use and a Sleep Mode that automatically shuts off the device if left unattended. A Vest that is dedicated for hospital use and additional Vest sizes were also added to the product line. In addition, a softer vest lining is proposed to accommodate user comfort. #### Performance Testing: The proposed SmartVest® Airway Clearance System, Model TL was tested and compared to the predicate Medpulse® Respiratory Vest System Model 2000 ez (K040367). Testing included measuring the pressure imparted to the chest wall of both the proposed and predicate systems. Functional performance and electrical safety tests were performed that demonstrated no change in output performance or safety issues to result from the changes proposed. #### Substantial Equivalence: The proposed SmartVest® Airway Clearance System, Model TL has the identical indications and intended use, technological characteristics and principles of operation as the predicate device. Functional performance and electrical safety testing have demonstrated no changes in safety or effectiveness. Thus, the proposed SmartVest® Airway Clearance System, Model TL is substantially equivalent to the proposed Medpulse® Respiratory Vest System Model 2000 ez (K040367). {2}------------------------------------------------ DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image is a black and white logo for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
