Indications for Use
The Solarys* Ventilator Aerosol Delivery System (AS) is a nebulizer intended to deliver prescribed aerosolized medication to mechanically ventilated pediatric and adults patients able to use an Endotracheal Tube equal to or greater than 4.5 mm in diameter. The device is designed to operate in-line with ventilator circuits and mechanical ventilators in acute and subacute care environments.
Device Story
Solarys Ventilator Aerosol Delivery System (AS) is a single-use, in-line nebulizer for mechanically ventilated patients. Device atomizes bulk liquid medication into aerosol for inhalation via ventilator circuit. Unlike vibrating mesh predicates, Solarys is pneumatically driven; requires no cleaning during circuit life. Used in acute/subacute care settings by clinicians. Input is liquid medication; output is aerosolized drug delivered through endotracheal tube. Performance verified via cascade impactor and simulated adult patient lung models to measure total delivered dose and particle size distribution. Benefits include continuous delivery without breaking patient circuit for refills.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence based on bench testing, including aerosol characterization using cascade impactor methodology and simulated adult mechanical ventilation patient models. Testing measured total delivered dose and particle size distribution (MMAD, GSD) for multiple medications, confirming performance comparable to predicate.
Technological Characteristics
Pneumatically driven nebulizer; single-use/disposable; in-line ventilator circuit integration. Materials evaluated per ISO 10993-1. No electrical components or software. Designed for endotracheal tubes ≥ 4.5 mm.
Indications for Use
Indicated for pediatric and adult patients on mechanical ventilation requiring aerosolized medication, using an endotracheal tube ≥ 4.5 mm diameter. Contraindicated for patients requiring smaller endotracheal tubes.
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.

### Section 5 -- 510(k) Summary
#### Intended Use
The Solarys* Ventilator Aerosol Delivery System (AS) is a nebulizer intended to deliver prescribed aerosolized medication to mechanically ventilated pediatric and adults patients able to use an Endotracheal Tube equal to or greater than 4.5 mm in diameter. The device is designed to operate in-line with ventilator circuits and mechanical ventilators in acute and subacute care environments.
#### Technological Characteristic Comparison to Predicate Device(s)
Common characteristics to both the Solarys* AS and the predicate device ;
- operate primarily by atomizing bulk liquid containing medication into an aerosol form that can be inhaled
- both have a reservoir that is part of the medication delivery system for extended treatments
- both devices allow for refilling during extended treatments, without having to break the patient circuit
Relevant differences in operating principles of the Solarys* AS and the predicate device; - the Solarys* AS is a pneumatically driven nebulizer, whereas the Aerogen Solo system is a vibrating mesh nebulizer that is electrically driven.
- No cleaning of the Solarys* AS system is required to maintain nebulizer performance (remains in the patient circuit for the duration of circuit life). The predicate device requires cleaning to prevent clogging of the vibrating mesh to maintain its performance with many formulations.
#### Non-Clinical Test Summary
Evaluation of the Solarys* AS and the predicate device was performed in accordance with the relevant sections of the CDRH Guidance Document "Reviewers Guidance for Nebulizers, Metered Dose Inhalers, Spacers and Actuators" (FDA/CDRH/ODE/DCRD/ADDB -1993).
- . Aerosol characterization testing for the Solarys* AS and the predicate device has been conducted with 3 commonly prescribed drugs using the cascade impactor method. The total mass of each drug emitted was determined by simulating normal device usage in a ventilator circuit and demonstrates that the performance of the Solarys* AS raises no new issues of safety or effectiveness from the legally marketed predicate device.

impactor at a fixed flow rate does not provide an accurate indication of the amount of medication potentially available in a clinically relevant situation, so in order to obtain a representative measurement of total emitted mass (TEM), a simulated adult mechanically ventilated patient was used to assess the mass of medication available at the exit of a 7.0 mm I.D. ETT. The aerosolized medication exiting the ETT was collected directly onto a polypropylene microfiber filter, connected to an adult mechanical test lung that was used as the patient model.
- . Biocompatibility testing was conducted on the Solarys* AS device according to ISO 10993-1
- Mechanical safety testing consisted of the following; .
- 0 Simulated use
- 0 Maximum pressure testing
- Environmental limit testing (operating limits and environmental storage and o transportation testing)
- Drop testing O
- o Connection leakage
- Strain relief fatigue and tensile testing o
The aerosol characterizations below have been defined based on statistical analysis (95% confidence interval) of the observed data collected using cascade impactor methodology.

# Section 5 - 510(k) Summary
#### Clinical Performance Summary
Not applicable, the determination of substantial equivalence is not based on Clinical Performance Data.
#### Conclusions from Testing
The Solarys* AS has been evaluated against a currently marketed (predicate) device for the determination of substantial equivalency. The Solarys* AS and the predicate device share common indications for use and usage environments. The devices are both single patient use, non-sterile, disposable and are available by prescription.
Performance data, gathered in accordance with "Reviewers Guidance for Nebulizers, Metered Dose Inhalers, Spacers and Actuators" (FDA/CDRH/ODE/DCRD/ADDB -1993), demonstrate that the Solarys* AS raises no new issues of safety or effectiveness from the legally marketed predicate device.
