Intended Use
The APAC is a self-contained, portable and lightweight anesthesia machine that includes the components and accessories necessary to deliver anesthesia. Gases and vaporizers; The APAC System delivers three breathing circuit gases: O₂ (cylinder or pipeline), N₂O (pipeline only), air (pipeline only). The APAC System includes a Tec 5 Vaporizer. Ventilators; The APAC System uses a 7800 Ventilator changed to use O₂ or air as the pneumatic power source. Patient Safety; Safety devices decrease the risk of: Hypoxic Mixtures; A flow control proportioning system keeps the O₂ concentration higher than 23% at the fresh gas outlet for O₂ and N₂O mixtures. N₂O flow decreases proportionally as the O₂ supply decreases. N₂O and air flow stops completely in case of total O₂ supply failure. Complete power or sudden gas supply failures: Batteries continue 7800 Ventilator operation during a power failure. Ohmeda ventilators have power failure alarms. Ohmeda ventilators have alarms for low gas supply pressure. The APAC System has an alarm for O₂ supply pressures less than 27 to 33 psig (186 to 228 kPa).
Device Story
Self-contained, portable anesthesia machine; delivers O2, N2O, and air via Tec 5 vaporizer. Integrates 7800 Ventilator using O2 or air as pneumatic power source. Used by clinicians in clinical settings. Safety features include flow control proportioning system to maintain O2 concentration >23%; automatic N2O reduction/stoppage upon O2 supply failure; battery backup for ventilator; alarms for power failure, low gas supply pressure, and low O2 supply pressure. Output consists of controlled gas/anesthetic delivery to patient; monitored by clinician via integrated alarms and pressure indicators to ensure patient safety during anesthesia administration.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only; no clinical data provided. Validation performed against voluntary standards including ASTM F1161-88, EN 60601-1-2, IEC 601-1-2, EN 60601-1, IEC 601-1, IEC 601-2-13, and DIN 13252.
Technological Characteristics
Portable anesthesia machine; includes Tec 5 vaporizer and 7800 Ventilator. Pneumatic power source (O2/air). Safety systems: mechanical flow control proportioning, battery backup, pressure-based alarm systems. Standards: ASTM F1161-88, EN 60601-1-2, IEC 601-1-2, EN 60601-1, IEC 601-1, IEC 601-2-13, DIN 13252.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as a self-contained, portable anesthesia delivery system for patients requiring anesthesia administration.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A gas machine for anesthesia is a device used to administer to a patient, continuously or intermittently, a general inhalation anesthetic and to maintain a patient's ventilation. The device may include a gas flowmeter, vaporizer, ventilator, breathing circuit with bag, and emergency air supply. A gas machine for analgesia is a device used to administer to a patient an analgesic agent, such as a nitrous oxide-oxygen mixture (maximum concentration of 70 percent nitrous oxide).

Subject: 510(k) Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Information for the Ohmeda APAC (Advanced Portable Anesthesia Care) System
Proprietary: Ohmeda APAC (Advanced Portable Anesthesia Care) System
Common: Gas Machine, Anesthesia
Classification: Anesthesiology, 73BSZ, 21CFR868.5160
This 510(k) summary of safety and effectiveness information is being submitted in accordance with the requirements of SMDA 1990 and 1992.
The Ohmeda APAC System is substantially equivalent to the following currently marketed device:
1. Ohmeda Excel Series Anesthesia Machines - Class II - 21CFR868.5160
The APAC is a self-contained, portable and lightweight anesthesia machine that includes the components and accessories necessary to deliver anesthesia. Gases and vaporizers; The APAC System delivers three breathing circuit gases: O₂ (cylinder or pipeline), N₂O (pipeline only), air (pipeline only). The APAC System includes a Tec 5 Vaporizer. Ventilators; The APAC System uses a 7800 Ventilator changed to use O₂ or air as the pneumatic power source.

N₂O flow decreases proportionally as the O₂ supply decreases. N₂O and air flow stops completely in case of total O₂ supply failure. Complete power or sudden gas supply failures: Batteries continue 7800 Ventilator operation during a power failure. Ohmeda ventilators have power failure alarms. Ohmeda ventilators have alarms for low gas supply pressure. The APAC System has an alarm for O₂ supply pressures less than 27 to 33 psig (186 to 228 kPa).
The Ohmeda APAC System was designed to comply with the applicable portions of the following voluntary standards;
1. ASTM F1161-88 for the Anesthesia Machine System
2. EN 60601-1-2, IEC 601-1-2 for the 7800 Ventilator
3. EN 60601-1, IEC 601-1 and IEC 601-2-13 for the 7800 Ventilator
4. DIN 13252 for the Tec 5 Sevotec 8%
5. DIN 13252 for the Tec 5 Fluotec 5%
6. DIN 13252 for the Tec 5 Enfluratec5%
7. DIN 13252 for the Tec 5 Isotec5%
The Ohmeda APAC System and the currently marketed devices are substantially equivalent in design concepts, technologies and materials. The Ohmeda APAC System has been validated through rigorous testing that, in part, support the compliance of the APAC to the above mentioned standards.
