Device Story

Hand-held, reusable, single-patient-use, pneumatically powered nebulizers; input: compressed air or air gas source (4-10 l/min); output: fine aerosol mist of medication. RF6 Plus includes inspiration/expiration valves; RF6 Basic lacks valves. Operated by patients or clinicians in home or hospital settings. Device atomizes liquid medication for inhalation; output allows targeted delivery to respiratory tract; benefits patients by facilitating treatment of respiratory disorders. Performance evaluated via bench testing (MMAD, FPF, DD, DDR).

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance parameters (MMAD, FPF, DD, DDR) compared to predicate devices per 1993 FDA guidance. No clinical data submitted.

Technological Characteristics

Pneumatically powered, hand-held, reusable nebulizers. Atomization via compressed air/gas source (4-10 l/min). RF6 Plus features inspiration/expiration valves; RF6 Basic does not. Materials described as similar to predicates. No software or electronic components.

Indications for Use

Indicated for adult and pediatric patients requiring inhalation therapy or medication for respiratory disorders. Used in home and hospital settings.

Regulatory Classification

Device Name:

RF6 Basic RF6 Plus

Classification Name:

Nebulizer Regulation number: 868.5630 Product Code: CAF

# 3. Predicate Devices

The Flaem Nuova RF6 Basic and RF6 Plus Nebulizers are substantially equivalent to a combination of the following devices:

- Salter Labs, 8660 Series- K962879
- V Pari LC STAR Reusable Nebulizer 22F50 K963924
- V Medic-Aid - Sidestream Nebulizer - K991725

# 4. Device Description

The Flaem Nuova RF6 Basic and RF6 Plus Nebulizers are hand-held, reusable, single patient use and pneumatically powered nebulizers. Both devices are made using similar materials and are used by patients with the same accessories set (mouthpiece, masks etc ... ). The primary difference

{1}------------------------------------------------

## FLAEM NUOVA RF6 BASIC AND RF6 PLUS NEBULIZERS

between the two devices is that the RF6 Plus is equipped with inspiration and expiration valves while the RF6 Basic is not.

### 5. Indications for Use

The Flaem Nuova RF6 Basic and RF6 Plus Nebulizers are reusable single patient use nebulizers which are used where a fine aerosol mist of medication must be delivered to a patient for the treatment of respiratory disorders. The Flaem Nuova RF6 Basic and RF6 Plus Nebulizers are intended to be used for both adult and pediatric patients who have been prescribed inhalation therapy or medication in both home health care and hospital use. The Flaem Nuova RF6 Basic and RF6 Plus Nebulizers may be used with compressed air or an air gas source providing air flow between 4 to 10 lmin.

### 6. Performance Data

The performance tests performed by Flaem Nuova, as required by the "Reviewer guidance for nebulizers, metered dose inhalers, spacers and actuators" issued on October 1993, demonstrate that the Flaem Nuova RF6 Basic and RF6 Plus Nebulizers have the same effectiveness as the identified predicate devices because they have equivalent performance parameters as the predicate devices including: MMAD, FPF, DD and DDR. MMAD, FPF, DD and DDR are the parameters used to evaluate the performance of nebulizers. Clinical data are not submitted because they are not required.

### 7. Comparison to Predicate Devices

The Flaem Nuova RF6 nebulizers and their predicate devices are indicated for the same intended use and have equivalent design solutions as the predicate devices. They have the same atomization principle used by all the nebulizers. The RF6 Plus has the same the valve system as that used in the Pari LC STAR (K963924). The RF6 Basic is similar to the Medic-Aid SIDESTREAM Nebulizer (K991725). In addition, the Flaem Nuova RF6 Nebulizers performance is equivalent to the predicate devices as shown in the bench tests presented.
