#### Description of Device 1.0

The Aura™ CPAP Patient Interface is an accessory to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) devices, which are applied to treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea with CPAP or Bi-Level CPAP.

{1}------------------------------------------------

The Aura CPAP Patient Interface is initially used under the direct supervision of a trained medical professional. The Aura CPAP Patient Interface function and applications may be reviewed in a clinical setting when the patient is treated for obstructive sleep apnea by the application of CPAP therapy.

#### Intended Use 2.0

The Aura™ CPAP Patient Interface is an accessory to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) devices, which are applied to treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea with CPAP or Bi-Level CPAP therapy.

#### 3.0 Technology

The Aura™ CPAP Patient Interface has three significant components:

- 1) Headgear Assembly,
- 2) Nasal Seal Assembly, and
- 3) Tubing and Adjustment Assembly.

The Headgear Assembly holds the device Tubing and Adjustment Assembly, and the Nasal Seal Assembly in place on the user's head. The Headgear Assembly is adjustable by the user.

The Nasal Seal Assembly is made from a silicone material which connects to the Tubing and Adjustment Assembly. The Nasal Seal Assembly provides the airflow pathway to the user's nasal openings.

The Tubing and Adjustment Assembly connects to the CPAP System. The Tubing and Adjustment Assembly passes the constant air pressure of the CPAP System to the Nasal Seal Assembly. The Tubing and Adjustment Assembly allows the positioning of the Nasal Seal Assembly for the comfort of the user. The Tubing and Adjustment Assembly allows for the positions of the Nasal Seal Assembly in both dimensions: away from the face and in the vertical direction.

{2}------------------------------------------------

### Conclusions 4.0

The Aura™ CPAP Patient Interface is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. Laboratory and standards compliance were provided to support the Aura™ CPAP Patient Interface. No new questions of safety or effectiveness are raised.

Dear Mr. Syring:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

## Page 2 - Mr. Syring

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4646. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
