The Koo SVN is a handheld, pneumatic nebulizer designed to aerosolize prescription drugs for inhalation by a patient. Its use is indicated whenever a healthcare professional administers or prescribes medical aerosol products to a patient using a small volume nebulizer. The Koo SVN is intended for use with pediatric (defined by the prescribed medication) and adult patients consistent with the indications for the aerosol medication. This includes hospital/institutional settings, home care use, schools and long term care facilities.
Device Story
Koo SVN is a handheld, pneumatic (gas-powered) jet nebulizer; utilizes external compressed air or oxygen source (6-8 lpm) to aerosolize liquid prescription drugs. Device consists of nebulizer chamber, mouthpiece/hose, face mask, and aerosol tee. Used in hospitals, clinics, schools, and home care settings; operated by healthcare professionals or patients. Continuous aerosolization occurs during inhalation and exhalation. Output is inhaled aerosolized medication; facilitates drug delivery to respiratory tract. Single-patient, multi-use design; accessories are DEHP-free PVC. Performance verified via cascade impactor testing for particle size (MMAD), respirable fraction, and total output. Benefits include effective delivery of prescribed aerosolized medications to patients.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Comparative performance testing via cascade impactor evaluated total output, particle size (MMAD), geometric standard deviation, respirable fraction, and respirable mass for Albuterol, Ipratropium, and Cromolyn. Results showed equivalent performance to the predicate. Additional testing included simulated life/cleaning validation (30 cycles), environmental (hot/cold cycles), and mechanical (drop/dimensional) testing. All tests met specifications at a 95% confidence level.
Technological Characteristics
Pneumatic jet nebulizer; gas-powered (6-8 lpm). Materials tested per ISO 10993 (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation). Accessories made of DEHP-free PVC. Single-patient, multi-use. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for pediatric and adult patients requiring aerosolized prescription medication. No contraindications.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A nebulizer is a device intended to spray liquids in aerosol form into gases that are delivered directly to the patient for breathing. Heated, ultrasonic, gas, venturi, and refillable nebulizers are included in this generic type of device.

# Substantial Equivalence Discussion
The above table compares the key features of the proposed Koo SVN nebulizer with the identified predicate and demonstrates that the device can be found to be substantially equivalent.
In summary one can conclude that substantial equivalence is met based upon the following:
The SVN small volume, handheld nebulizer is viewed as substantially equivalent to the predicate device because:
{3}------------------------------------------------
## 510(k) Summary Page 3 of 4 15-Jul-2011
#### Indications -
The proposed indications for use are to aerosolize commonly prescribed medications is identical to predicate - K926055 - Miller - Vixone, now owned by Westmed.
## Technology -
The design as a jet (gas powered) nebulizer powered by an external compressed gas source is the identical principle of operation as the predicate - K926055 - Miller - Vixone.
#### Materials -
The materials in the gas and fluid pathway have been tested per ISO 10993 and found to be nonreactive.
In addition evidence to support DEHP free for accessories made of PVC is provided.
、
### Environment of Use -
The proposed environments of use are common and usual for handheld nebulizers and identical to predicate - K926055 - Miller - Vixone.
## Patient Population -
The patient population of adult and pediatric (defined by the prescribed medication) patients consistent with the indications for the aerosol medication. With the typical gas flow of 6-8 lpm, this is sufficient to satisfy the expected tidal volume of pediatric population as well as an adult. This is identical to predicate - K926055 - Miller - Vixone.
## Comparative Performance -
We performed comparative particle characterization testing via Cascade Impactor and the results demonstrated fequivalent performance to the predicate K926055.
In addition, ye performed testing related to intra- and inter-sample dose and particle variability. simulation life / cleaning validation, environmental and mechanical testing. The results demonstrated that the proposed device either passed or met its performance specifications after each test
All testing gemonstrated that the proposed device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
