The PlasiaTEK Actuator is a non-invasive accessory to support verification of placement of an endotracheal tube within the trachea using standard Doppler ultrasound imaging.
Device Story
PlasiaTEK Actuator is a small, battery-operated, non-invasive vibrating accessory; attaches to the proximal ventilation circuit connector of an endotracheal tube. Operated by clinicians during intubation procedures. Device induces gentle, small-scale vibrations in the endotracheal tube. A standard Doppler ultrasound system detects these vibrations to visualize tube position within the trachea. Output is visual confirmation on the ultrasound display; assists clinicians in verifying correct tracheal placement; reduces risk of esophageal intubation.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Battery-operated vibrating accessory; attaches to proximal endotracheal tube connector. Non-invasive. Operates via mechanical vibration to facilitate detection by external Doppler ultrasound systems.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring endotracheal intubation to support verification of tube placement within the trachea using Doppler ultrasound imaging.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A tracheal tube is a device inserted into a patient's trachea via the nose or mouth and used to maintain an open airway.

#### Description of the Device D.
The PlasiaTEK™ Actuator Device is a small, non-invasive, battery operated vibrating accessory with an on/off switch that is attached to the ventilation circuit connector on the proximal end of an endotracheal tube. The PlasiaTEK Actuator is used in combination with a previously cleared-to-market endotracheal tube and standard Doppler ultrasound system to locate the endotracheal tube within the trachea. When turned on, the Actuator slightly vibrates the tube. An imaging Doppler ultrasound system can detect the endotracheal tube position because of the gentle small motion caused by the PlasiaTEK Actuator.
#### Intended Use Statement E.
The PlasiaTEK Actuator is a non-invasive accessory to support verification of placement of an endotracheal tube within the trachea using standard Doppler ultrasound imaging.
#### F. Intended Use and Technological Characteristics Summary
The PlasiaTEK Actuator is substantially equivalent to the PosiTube Esophageal Intubation Detection Device in terms of Intended Use.
Technologically, both devices are similar since they are non-invasive, applied to the proximal connector end of the endotracheal tube and must be activated to work.

Dear Mr. Pesek:
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 approvisions 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting (1 Mr), to new ob to any of any of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
