## Indications for Use

The intended use is to deliver oxygen to the patient nasally, controlled by a demand system

## Device Story

The NOP Demand and Modified Demand Nasal Oxygen Cannulas are dual-port devices designed for use with oxygen conservation delivery systems. One tube delivers oxygen to the patient, while the second tube senses inspiratory/expiratory effort. The device is intended for use by adult and pediatric patients. It functions as a passive interface between the patient and an external demand-based oxygen delivery system. Healthcare providers or patients use the cannula to facilitate oxygen therapy; the output is the delivery of oxygen triggered by the patient's respiratory effort, which can improve oxygen conservation and patient comfort. The device is constructed from PVC with DINCH or DOTP plasticizers.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Testing verified performance characteristics including back pressure (max < 2 psi), tubing bond strength (all samples > 2 lbs), and environmental storage/transport stability (-29°C to 50°C). Biocompatibility testing confirmed the materials passed irritation, sensitization, cytotoxicity, particulate, and volatile organic compound requirements. Sample size (n=29) supported a 95% confidence level at 91% reliability.

## Technological Characteristics

Dual-port nasal cannula; materials: PVC with DINCH or DOTP plasticizers. Sensing/actuation: passive dual-lumen tubing for oxygen delivery and respiratory effort sensing. Dimensions/form factor: standard nasal cannula interface. Connectivity: none (passive). Sterilization: not specified. Software: none.

## Regulatory Identification

A noncontinuous ventilator (intermittent positive pressure breathing-IPPB) is a device intended to deliver intermittently an aerosol to a patient's lungs or to assist a patient's breathing.

#### ﻦ Performance Data

The NOP Demand Nasal Oxygen Cannula and Modified NOP Demand Nasal Oxygen Cannula were tested to verify that the new material bond and performance characteristics of flow rate, back pressure, and tubing bond strength did not impact the strength or performa nce of the modified demand devices after the material change. Statistical methods were used to determine, the minimum required sample size was 29 to support a 95% confidence level at 91% reliability.

The test results demonstrate that the NOP Demand Nasal Oxygen Cannula and Modified NOP Demand Nasal Oxygen Cannula is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
