## Device Story

Wright 1000 Mono Hyperbaric Chamber is a pressure vessel for human occupancy (PVHO) used for hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO). Device consists of a steel chamber with acrylic windows, a reclining chair, and integrated monitoring systems. Patient is placed inside and subjected to pressures between 2 and 3 atmospheres while breathing 100% oxygen. System includes 2-way communication, variable ventilation, and pressure/oxygen monitoring with programmable alarms. Operated by clinical staff to treat specific conditions by increasing alveolar oxygen pressure and tissue oxygen delivery. Device is manufactured to ASME and NFPA guidelines.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; device equivalence is based on design, manufacturing standards (ASME, PVHO, NFPA), and hydrostatic/safety testing.

## Technological Characteristics

Constructed of SA516-70N steel; 14" PVO acrylic windows. Max operational pressure 30 PSIG; hydrostatic tested at 45 PSIG. Features include 2-way communication, variable ventilation, and programmable pressure/oxygen alarms. Manufactured per ASME and PVHO guidelines. Wiring complies with National Electrical Code. Electromagnetic and safety testing conducted.

## Regulatory Identification

A hyperbaric chamber is a device that is intended to increase the environmental oxygen pressure to promote the movement of oxygen from the environment to a patient's tissue by means of pressurization that is greater than atmospheric pressure. This device does not include topical oxygen chambers for extremities (§ 878.5650).

# HYPERBARIC TREATMENT:

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) is a medical treatment where a patient is placed in a specially designed vessel and placed under pressure greater than sea level and breathes 100% oxygen intermittently. Alveolar oxygen pressure is increased causing a rise in plasma oxygen content which results in enhanced tissue oxygen delivery. The amount of pressure increases and the length of time under pressure are determined by the condition being treated. Treatment pressures are usually between 2 and 3 times atmospheric. treatment usually lasts from 1 to 2 hours at full pressure.

The following are approved indications:

1: Air or gas embolism.
2: Carbon monoxide poisoning and smoke inhalation. Carbon monoxide complicated by cyanide poisoning.
3: Clostridial myonecrosis (Gas gangrene).
4: Crush injury, Compartment syndrome, and other acute traumatic ischemias.
5: Decompression sickness.
6: Enhancement of healing in selected problem wounds.
7: Exceptional blood loss (Anemia)
8: Necrotizing soft tissue infections (Subcutaneous tissue, Muscle, Fascia).
9: Osteomyelitis (Refractory).
10: Radiation tissue damage (Osteoradionecrosis).
11. Skin grafts and flaps (Compromised).
12. Thermal burns.
13. Adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen in intracranial abscess.

Dear Mr. Wright:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent to 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). 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 (Premarket Approval), 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 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Good Manufacturing Practice for Medical Devices: General (GMP) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic GMP inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
