### DEVICE DESCRIPTION:

The Home-Away System, Model 1041 is an accessory to an oxygen concentrator and liquid oxygen (LOX) stroller. It liquefies oxygen that is received from an oxygen nquia entygen (t, and delivers it to a LOX stroller for patient use. While performing these functions, it is also capable of delivering up to 3 L/min of gaseous oxygen directly to the patient. In these respects, the Home-Away System, Model 1041 is the same as its to the payment Home-Away System. The Home-Away System, Model 1041 incorporates prounders from the cleared device that enhance its usability, manufacturability, consistent performance, durability, reliability, and safety.

### INDICATIONS FOR USE:

The Home-Away System, Model 1041 is intended as an accessory to an oxygen concentrator and liquid oxygen storage system for use as an aid or adjunct to delivering 

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

supplemental oxygen therapy in the home. It is intended to be used with both pediatric and adult patients. It is not intended to be a life-sustaining or life-supporting device. The device has no contraindications.

## STATEMENT OF TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS COMPARISON:

The Home-Away System, Model 1041 is substantially equivalent to the cleared Home-Away System (K004047). They are both compatible with oxygen concentrators that deliver > 5 L/min USP 93% oxygen and are approved by In-X Corporation. The Home-Away System is compatible with any bottom-fill type LOX stroller; whereas, the Home-Away System, Model 1041 is only compatible with LOX strollers that utilize a proprietary mating valve.

Substantial equivalence was based on performance testing of the Home-Away System, Model 1041 consisting of analysis of oxygen for impurities, USP 93% oxygen testing, EMC/EMI testing, safety testing, transfill testing, production rate testing, shock and vibration testing, package testing, environmental testing, and residue testing.
