## Indications for Use

The Breathe Technologies Ventilator (BT-V2S), with Accessories, is a volume assist ventilator intended to aid adult patients with respiratory insufficiency. It is designed for patients, with or without a tracheostomy, that are capable of spontaneously breathing a minimum tidal volume of 3.5cc/kg of predicted body weight. The device is designed for continuous applications such as patient ambulation, physical therapy, occupational therapy, respiratory therapy, and other rehabilitation efforts in an institutional environment. The device is intended for operation by trained personnel under the direction of a physician.

## Device Story

BT-V2S is a volume assist ventilator for adult patients with respiratory insufficiency. Device supports patients capable of spontaneous breathing (min 3.5cc/kg tidal volume). Modification adds BT-NT nasal interface to existing BT-V2S ventilator platform. System connects to patient via nasal mask or tracheostomy circuit. Used in institutional environments for continuous applications including ambulation, physical therapy, and rehabilitation. Operated by trained personnel under physician direction. Provides respiratory support to facilitate patient mobility and therapy efforts.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Compliance with ISO 10993 for biocompatibility. Performance verified using lung model testing against FDA Draft Reviewer Guide for Ventilators (1995), ASTM F1100-90, IEC 60601-1, and IEC 60601-2-12.

## Technological Characteristics

Volume assist ventilator. Materials: various plastics (biocompatible per ISO 10993). Interface: nasal mask (BT-NT) or tracheostomy circuit. Connectivity: dual tubing. Standards: ASTM F1100-90, IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-12.

## Regulatory Identification

A continuous ventilator (respirator) is a device intended to mechanically control or assist patient breathing by delivering a predetermined percentage of oxygen in the breathing gas. Adult, pediatric, and neonatal ventilators are included in this generic type of device.

## Predicate Devices

## b. Date Summary Prepared

27 August 2010

## c. Description of Device

This application is being filed to allow a new breathing circuit for the Breathe Technologies Ventilator (BT-V2). The Ventilator is fundamentally unchanged. The only difference between the predicate and application submissions is that the application requests clearance to market the BT-NT nasal interface with the BT-V2S ventilator.

The BT-NT is a nasal mask style patient circuit which attaches to the patients nose. It connects to the BT-V2S ventilator.

The BT-NT is approximately 12cm wide and 2cm thick at its thickest point under the patient's nose. These dimensions do not include the 231 cm dual tubing that connects to the Ventilator. It is composed of various plastics.

Below that, the word "TECHNOLOGIES" is written in a smaller, sans-serif font. Underneath the words is a curved line that resembles a smile or a wave.

#### d. Intended Use

The Breathe Technologies Ventilator (BT-V2S), with Accessories, is a volume assist ventilator intended to aid adult patients with respiratory insufficiency. It is designed for patients, with or without a tracheostomy, that are capable of spontaneously breathing a minimum tidal volume of 3.5cc/kg of predicted body weight. The device is designed for continuous applications such as patient ambulation, physical therapy, occupational therapy, respiratory therapy, and other rehabilitation efforts in an institutional environment. The device is intended for operation by trained personnel under the direction of a physician.

#### e. Comparison to Predicate Device

The Breathe Technologies BT-V2S and Accessories is substantially equivalent in Intended Use, Indications for Use, technology, design, materials, physician or patient use, and energy source to the predicate Breathe Technologies BT-V2S and Accessories (K100528).

This application presents the BT-V2S with a nasal interface breathing circuit (BT-NT) in addition to its predicate breathing circuit (BT-TT, aka BT-PC).

The testing described below demonstrates that the differences in the devices do not raise any unresolved issues of safety or efficacy.

Breathe Technologies concludes that the devices are substantially equivalent.

#### f. Summary of Supporting Data

Biocompatibility data demonstrates that the device is in compliance with ISO 10993.

Bench testing, including a lung model, has demonstrated that the BT-V2S remains in compliance with the expectations of the medical community, the product labeling, and the following Standards and Guidances:

- FDA Draft Reviewer Guide for Ventilators (July 1995)
- ASTM F1100 90 (1997), Standard Specification for Ventilators Intended for Use in Critical Care
- · IEC 60601 1 (1988), Amendment 1 (1991-11), Amendment 2 (1995): Medical electrical equipment - General Requirements for Safety
- IEC 60601 2- 12 (2001-10); Medical electrical equipment Particular requirements for the safety of lung ventilators - Critical care ventilators

Dear Mr. Coombs:

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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
