Indications for Use

The VBOX Trooper oxygen concentrator device is used on a prescriptive basis by patients requiring supplemental oxygen. It supplies a high concentration of oxygen and is used with a nasal cannula to channel oxygen from the concentrator to the patient. The VBOX Trooper may be used in home, institution, vehicle and various mobile environments.

Device Story

Trooper Oxygen Concentrator uses molecular sieve and differential pressure swing adsorption to extract oxygen from ambient air; produces 87-94% pure oxygen. Device senses patient inhalation via pressure change (trigger sensitivity ≤ 0.13 cm water); releases oxygen pulse upon detection. Between breaths, device regenerates oxygen pulse. Front panel features LEDs, ON/OFF button, flow rate controls, and battery/flow displays. Used in home, institution, vehicle, or mobile settings by patients. System includes concentrator unit, Li-Ion batteries, AC power supply, battery charger, carrying case, and nasal cannula. Healthcare providers prescribe device; patients operate it to receive supplemental oxygen therapy, potentially improving mobility and oxygenation.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Evaluated output gas composition, display/LED functions, flow rate, oxygen concentration, electromagnetic compatibility, and electrical safety. Functional side-by-side comparison with predicates assessed trigger sensitivity, pulse timing (time, delay, total delivery), pulse volume, oxygen purity, and FIO2 across various breath rates.

Technological Characteristics

Molecular sieve (synthetic zeolite) with differential pressure swing adsorption. 5 flow settings (1-5 LPM equivalent). Pulsed delivery. Li-Ion battery or AC power. Analog/digital electronics with microprocessor. Dimensions: 6 x 2.5 x 6.25 inches; weight: 3.2 lbs. Standards: ASTM F1464-93:2005, ISO 8359:1996, IEC 60601-1:2003, ISO 10993-1:2009, EN 60601-1-2:2007.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring supplemental oxygen on a prescriptive basis. Used in home, institutional, vehicle, and mobile environments via nasal cannula.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

Date Prepared: Trade Name: Common Name: Classification: Product Code:

Class II, 21 CFR 868.5440 CAW

Predicate Devices:

The subject device is substantially equivalent to the following devices:

SEP 2 1 2012

- · Inogen One Oxygen Concentrator (K032818)
- · EverGo Portable Oxygen Concentrator (K043615)

Device Description:

The Trooper oxygen concentrator utilizes a molecular sieve and differential pressure swing adsorption to separate the gases in ambient air. The device takes the room air and concentrates the oxygen portion to produce a pulse of oxygen between 87-94 % in purity. When the patient inhales, the device senses the pressure change and is triggered to release the oxygen pulse. In between breaths, the device regenerates an oxygen pulse and waits for the next inhalation breath before dispensing it.

The front panel of the Trooper contains controls and indicators such as, device status indicator LEDs, an ON/OFF button, oxygen flow rate controls, and flow rate and battery status displays. The oxygen outlet is also located on the front panel of the device.

The VBOX Trooper oxygen concentrator system will be provided under a single model number, A-1000, which includes the following items:

- One (1) Trooper Oxygen Concentrator Unit .
- Two (2) Li-Ion Batteries (only one connected to the device . at a time)
- One (1) Auxiliary AC Power Supply .
