It may be used either with a facemask, mouthpiece, or an adapter to a patient's endotracheal tube or tracheostomy tube. For use in a hospital, institutional setting, or home use given adequate training. For use on adult or pediatric patients. ## Device Story Pegaso Cough is a non-invasive, microprocessor-controlled ventilation system for clearing bronchopulmonary secretions. It simulates a cough by applying positive pressure to the airway, followed by a rapid shift to negative pressure, then returning to ambient pressure. The device uses a brushless blower to generate these pressure cycles. It is operated in hospital, institutional, or home settings by clinicians or trained patients/caregivers via a touch screen interface. Inputs include operator-selected pressure levels and timing parameters; outputs are the pressure-driven cough simulation. Safety alarms monitor for pressure anomalies, valve faults, and power failure. By facilitating secretion clearance, the device assists patients with compromised cough reflexes, potentially reducing respiratory complications. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on bench testing, including performance comparisons of pressure delivery, timing, and safety alarm functionality against the predicate device, as well as compliance with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-4, and EN 794-1/-2 standards. ## Technological Characteristics Microprocessor-controlled non-continuous ventilator (Product Code NHJ). Features a brushless blower, touch screen interface, and pressure sensors. Operating range: +/- 5 to 70 cm H2O. Connectivity: standalone. Power: 110/230V. Safety: alarms for no/high/low pressure, valve fault, and power failure. Standards: IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-1-4, EN 794-1/2. ## 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. ## Predicate Devices - Emerson Cough Assist, Model CA-3000 ([K002598](/device/K002598.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

K072292 JAN - 7 2008 {1}------------------------------------------------ Device: Positive Pressure Intermittent Breathing Device Common Name: Cough Assist Device SE Predicate: Emerson Cough Assist, Model CA-3000 J.H. Emerson Company K002598 868.5902 ### Device Description: The Pegaso Cough Assist is a negative pressure, non-invasive ventilation system useful in clearing retained bronchopulmonary secretions. It produces a patient "cough" simulation, applying a positive pressure to the airway, then rapidly going to a negative pressure. At the end of this pressure shifting, the Pegaso Cough leaves the airway free, at zero pressure, for a pause time determined by the operator. The Peak Inspiratory Flow can be selected on three different levels: High, Medium, Low. This "forced insufflation-exsufflation" is designated for patients with reduced coughing possibilities due to muscular dystrophy, myasthenia gravis, poliomyelitis, and respiratory muscle paralysis such as spinal cord injury. Even patients with other diseases, such as emphysema and cystic fibrosis, can be treated with the Pegaso Cough. It may be used with a facemask, mouthpiece, or an adapter to a patient's endotracheal tube or tracheostomy tube. The Pegaso Cough is indicated for use in a hospital, institutional setting, or home use given adequate training. The Cough Assist device applies a positive pressure in the airway initially. The device shifts to a negative pressure through a facemask, mouthpiece, or an adapter to the patient's endotracheal tube or tracheostomy tube. The rapid shift produces a high expiratory flow from the lungs simulating a cough and clearing secretions. At the end of this pressure shifting, the Pegaso Cough leaves the airway free at zero or ambient pressure. A pause time between cycles is operator selected. FDA classifies this device as a noncontinuous ventilator under 868.5905. Product Code NHJ under the Anesthesiology Review Panel. The device meets the requirements for medical equipment general requirements for basic and essential safety performance and electromagnetic compatibility. The Pegaso Cough is comparable to the Emerson Cough Assist cleared under K002598 and have the similar indications for use. The device is software controlled and has safety alarms for no pressure, high pressure, valve fault, low pressure, and power failure. Performance is controlled from a touch screen keyboard in manual or automatic modes. {2}------------------------------------------------ # Standards Met: - IEC 60601-1 Medical Equipment - Programmable Electrical Medical Systems IEC 60601-1-4 - EN ISO 9703-3 Anesthesia and Respiratory Care Alarm Signals - EN 60601-1-2 Electromagnetic Compatibility - EN 794-1 and -2 Lung Ventilator {3}------------------------------------------------ # Comparison Table | Feature | Emerson Cough Assist | Dima Italia Negavent DA-3

Both devices have similar Indications for Use. 2. The fundamental technology is similar. Both produce positive and negative pressures to simulate a patient's cough reflex. Both are controlled to sense pressures and develop negative and positive pressures in a controlled manner. 3. Both devices meet safety evaluations under ISO 60601 standards and ventilator standards. 4. Pressures developed for positive and negative values are comparable. 5. Pressures are developed by electronically powered blowers for both products. 6. Both units are available in 110V and 220V/230V versions. 7. Both units are intended for adult and pediatric patients in home, hospital, and institutional settings. 8. Both have comparable adjustments to produce positive and negative pressures, and rapid shifting resulting in a simulated patient cough reflex. 9. Both products simulate a cough using "mechanical insufflation". This is achieved in both devices by applying a positive pressure to the airway initially and rapidly shifting to a negative pressure. The change in pressure effect produces a high expiratory flow from the lungs. 10. Both devices may be used with a facemask, mouthpiece, and patient's endotracheal or tracheostomy tube. 11. Both devices operate in a manual mode or in an automatic mode. ### Differences: 1. Maximum positive and negative pressures are comparable, but the Pegaso Cough has a maximum capability 16% higher than the Emerson. 2. Inhalation, exhalation, and pause times differ. Emerson controls these events to 0 to 5 seconds. The Pegaso Cough allows operator control from 0.1 to 9.9 seconds allowing a wider range as needed by patients. 3. Unit weight of the Pegaso is less than half that of the Emerson unit through use of lightweight materials. 4. The Pegaso Cough is software controlled whereas the Emerson device is controlled by electrical switches. {6}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/6/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the Department of Health and Human Services.
