Indications for Use
The Model 300D Home Oxygen Liquefier is intended for use in liquefying oxygen supplied by a concentrator equipped with an oxygen sensing device. The concentrator used with the home oxygen liquefier should generate >90% oxygen purity nominally, and alert the user if this purity drops to unacceptable levels. This liquid oxygen is intended for use with the liquid portable products rated for 93% oxygen such as the Caire Spirit 300 HAS product. This system and the associated portable are intended for use with 93% (+3%) oxygen. It may be used in the home or institution. It is intended to be used with both pediatric and adult patients. It is not intended to be a life sustaining or life supporting device.
Device Story
Home oxygen liquefaction device; connects to oxygen concentrator. Inputs: gaseous oxygen from concentrator. Transformation: gas pressurized via boost pump and high-pressure compressors; cooled through heat exchangers and dual-stage cascade refrigeration; expanded through Joule-Thompson (JT) valve to convert to liquid oxygen. Output: liquid oxygen stored in Dewar for transfer to portable units. Used in home or institution; operated by patient or caregiver. Microcontroller-based system monitors liquid levels in Dewar and automates liquefaction cycles to maintain desired levels. Provides patient access to portable liquid oxygen supply; enhances mobility for oxygen-dependent individuals.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Verified liquefaction rates, oxygen purity levels, and safety mitigations. Independent testing confirmed compliance with UL 60601-1-1:2006 (safety) and IEC 60601-1-2:2007 (EMC). No clinical data provided.
Indicated for pediatric and adult patients requiring supplemental oxygen. Intended to liquefy oxygen from a concentrator (>90% purity) for use in compatible liquid oxygen portable units. No contraindications.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A portable oxygen generator is a device that is intended to release oxygen for respiratory therapy by means of either a chemical reaction or physical means (e.g., a molecular sieve).

#### Device Description
The COPD Partners' model 300D is a home oxygen liquefaction device. The product is intended to connect to an oxygen concentrator that is equipped with an oxygen sensing device to assure adequate levels of oxygen purity. The model 300D then splits the gas source from the concentrator, giving the patient their desired level of gas flow and uses the remaining flow for the liquefaction portion of the unit. The liquefaction portion of the device consists of desiccants, a boost pump compressor, a high pressure compressor, a series of heat exchangers, a dual stage cascade refrigeration pre-cooler, a microcontroller based controller system, and a Dewar with a Joule Thompson (JT) valve. This device pressurizes the gas, cools it, and then expands the gas through the JT valve, where a portion of the gas will convert to liquid oxygen will be used to fill a liquid oxygen portable such as the COPD Partners' Model 300P. The device indicates the level of liquid in the Dewar and has a control system to display this information to the user. In addition, it automatically turns on to maintain a desired level of liquid in the Dewar.

#### Technological Characteristics as Compared to the Predicate
The COPD Partners Model 300D Home Oxygen liquefier is substantially equivalent to the In-X Home–Away System, Model 1041 cleared under K042944. Both systems are compatible with oxygen concentrators that deliver ≥ 5L/min USP Oxygen at a rated 93% USP O2 purity, and a minimum of 87% purity. Both systems are compatible with bottom fill type LOX portable units manufactured by their respective companies. Both have been tested to meet standards for medical device safety, EMC compatibility, liquid oxygen production rates, mechanical shock and vibration.
The primary difference between the COPD Partners Model 300 D Home Oxygen Liquefier and the In-X Model 1041 Home-Away system is the method of liquefaction of the oxygen. The COPD Partners Model 300 uses standard two stage refrigeration process with a separate refrigeration system and Joule-Thompson valve and a Joule Thompson valve integral to the Dewar assembly. The In-X System uses a Sterling Cycle liquefaction system with an integral cooler and Dewar Assembly.
This difference does not affect the safety or effectiveness of the COPD Partners Model 300D Home Oxygen Liquefier
### Summary of Testing
Verification and Validation testing has been completed on the COPD Partners Model 300D Liquefier to assure that the device meets the safety and performance requirements described in the specifications. This testing includes:
