Intended Use
Rota-Trach Disposable Standard Tracheostomy Tube is indicated for airway maintenance of tracheostomized patients.
Device Story
The Rota-Trach Disposable Standard Tracheostomy Tube is a surgically invasive respiratory device inserted into the trachea via a stoma. It provides an alternate airway for patients with upper airway obstruction or injury and can be connected to ventilators for mechanical ventilation. The device consists of a cannula, neck plate, and optional cuff; the cuff seals the space between the tube and tracheal wall to prevent aspiration and facilitate positive pressure ventilation. It is used in critical care, acute care, and long-term care settings by healthcare professionals. The device is single-use and disposable, intended for replacement within 29 days. It benefits patients by maintaining airway patency and enabling respiratory support.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Safety and efficacy were demonstrated through non-clinical bench testing, including performance testing per ISO 5366:2016, ISO 5356-1:2015, ISO 80369-7, and ASTM F2250-903. Biocompatibility was assessed per ISO 10993-1:2009, including cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, systemic toxicity, pyrogenicity, genotoxicity, and implantation studies. Chemical characterization was performed per ISO 10993-18.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Cannula/Cuff/Pilot balloon (PVC), Neck plate/Wedge (PP), Introducer (HDPE), Neck strap (Cotton). Sensing/Actuation: Mechanical airway maintenance; cuff inflation via pilot balloon. Energy: None. Dimensions: Sizes 6.0-10.0mm. Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide (EO) to SAL 10^-6. Standards: ISO 5366, ISO 5356-1, ISO 18190, ISO 10993, ISO 11135, IEC 62366-1.
Indications for Use
Indicated for airway maintenance in tracheostomized adult patients requiring an alternate breathing pathway due to upper airway obstruction or injury, or for mechanical ventilation support.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A tracheostomy tube and tube cuff is a device intended to be placed into a surgical opening of the trachea to facilitate ventilation to the lungs. The cuff may be a separate or integral part of the tracheostomy tube and is, when inflated, intended to establish a seal between the tracheal wall and the tracheostomy tube. The cuff is used to prevent the patient's aspiration of substances, such as blood or vomit, or to provide a means for positive-pressure ventilation of the patient. This device is made of either stainless steel or plastic.

Dear Ming-Yie Jan:
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 (the 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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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.

Biocompatibility Assessment:
Rota-Trach Disposable Standard Tracheostomy Tube: externally communicating tissue/bone/dentin with breathing gas pathway contact more than 30 days.
This classification accounts for the cumulative use of a device intended to be replaced within 30 days by another of the same type.
The potential for adverse effects arising from exposure to a medical device is influenced by the intrinsic toxicity of the constituent materials, the processing methods applied during manufacturing, the route and level of patient exposure, and the intended clinical application.

To evaluate the biological safety of the Rota-Trach Disposable Standard Tracheostomy Tube, a comprehensive assessment was conducted. This included review of toxicological and biocompatibility data for device materials, analysis of the nature and duration of body contact, identification of potential risks associated with the manufacturing process and packaging, and consideration of patient exposure conditions.
To address any residual uncertainties and ensure compliance with ISO 10993 and relevant regulatory expectations, the following biological and chemical safety tests are proposed:
- In Vitro Cytotoxicity Test
- Skin Sensitization Study in Guinea Pigs
- Skin Irritation Study in White Rabbits
- Pyrogen Study in Rabbits
- Acute Systemic Toxicity Study
- Subacute Systemic Toxicity Study
- Subchronic Systemic Toxicity Study in Rats
- Genotoxicity Test
- Muscle Implantation Study in White Rabbits
- Chemical Characterization (per ISO 10993-18)
- Endotoxin Test (per USP <85>)
- Migration Test of Plasticizers
- Heavy Metal Analysis
- Residual Testing for Ethylene Oxide (EO), Ethylene Chlorohydrin (ECH), and Ethylene Glycol (EG)
- Test Report for Emissions of Particulate Matter
- Test Report for Emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and Aldehydes
- Toxicological Risk Assessment Report for VOC Emissions
The materials used in the Rota-Trach Tracheostomy Tube have a well-documented history of safe use in medical and consumer products with similar contact profiles. Additionally, the manufacturing processes and packaging do not introduce any specific or novel safety risks.
Based on the data and test results provided, Rota-Trach Disposable Standard Tracheostomy Tube is not associated with toxicological risk, and the manufacturing process and packaging do not introduce additional safety concerns. No evidence suggests that the Rota-Trach Disposable Standard Tracheostomy Tube poses a biological risk. The proposed testing strategy ensures a robust assessment of the device's biocompatibility in line with current regulatory standards.
K. SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE CONCLUSION
Based upon the information presented, Vitaltec Corporation concludes that the Rota-Trach Disposable Standard Tracheostomy Tube is substantially equivalent to predicate devices regarding indications for use, design, and testing results, without raising any safety and efficacy risks or concerns.
