## Indications for Use

The PARI Vios is a tabletop, AC-powered air compressor intended to provide a source of compressed air for use with jet nebulizers. The PARI Vios is intended for adult and pediatric patients for use in hospital, clinic, or home environments.

## Device Story

PARI Vios is a tabletop, AC-powered, piston-driven, oil-free, reciprocating air compressor. It provides a source of compressed air to drive jet nebulizers for aerosolized medication delivery. The device is intended for use by adult and pediatric patients in hospitals, clinics, or home environments. It features a fan-cooled shaded pole AC motor, an integrated carry handle, and a front-panel air outlet with filter access. The device operates by generating compressed air, which is delivered to a connected jet nebulizer to facilitate patient inhalation of medication. It does not involve complex software or automated analysis.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data was required or provided. Substantial equivalence was established through bench testing comparing the device's performance (total output rate, MMD, volume percentage <5 µm, and operating pressure) to the predicate devices.

## Technological Characteristics

Piston-driven, oil-free, reciprocating air compressor. Materials: polymeric cylinder and housing, Teflon piston seal, silicone valves. Energy source: AC-powered, fan-cooled shaded pole motor. Form factor: tabletop unit with integrated carry handle, front-panel air outlet, and filter access. Non-sterile. No software or algorithm components.

## Regulatory Identification

A nebulizer is a device intended to spray liquids in aerosol form into gases that are delivered directly to the patient for breathing. Heated, ultrasonic, gas, venturi, and refillable nebulizers are included in this generic type of device.

#### Device Description

The PARI Vios nebulizer compressor is a small, lightweight AC-powered air compressor intended to provide a source of compressed air for use with jet nebulizers. The device is non-sterile and prescriptionuse only.

#### Indications For Use

The PARI Vios is a tabletop, AC-powered air compressor intended to provide a source of compressed air for use with jet nebulizers. The PARI Vios is intended for adult and pediatric patients for use in hospital, clinic, or home environments.

#### Technological Characteristics Compared to Predicate Devices

The PARI Vios, PARI Proneb Ultra, and PARI Trek.S are all air compressors intended to provide a source of compressed air for use with jet nebulizers. All three devices are piston-driven, oil-free, reciprocating air compressors.

PARI Vios employs similar materials compared to the predicate devices, including a polymenc cylinder and housing, Teflon piston seal, and silicone valves. PARI Vios is similar to the Proneb Ultra compressor regarding the fan-cooled shaded pole AC motor, integrated carry handle, and front-panel air outlet and filter access. Operating pressure and jet flow produced by the PARI Vios is comparable to the predicates.

#### Non-Clinical Test Summary

PARI Vios was tested with various nebulizers to compare performance to the predicate devices, including:

- Total Output Rate: PARI Vios TOR is comparable to the predicate devices. #
- MMD: PARI Vios MMD is comparable to the predicate devices .
- Volume % <5 µm: PARI Vios is comparable to the predicate devices ..
- Operating Pressure: PARI Vios is comparable to the predicate devices I

#### Clinical Performance Summary

Clinical testing was not completed/is not required to show substantial equivalence.

#### Conclusions from Testing

PARI Vios meets performance requirements and raises no new issues of safety or effectiveness.

Dear Mr. Judge:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
