Indications for Use
The AURA family of ventilators is intended to provide continuous or intermittent positive pressure mechanical ventilatory support through invasive or non-invasive interfaces to individuals that require such medical care. Specifically, the AURA family of ventilators is applicable for infant, pediatric and adult patients greater than or equal to 5 kg (11 lbs.). The AURA ventilator is a restricted medical device intended for use by qualified, trained, personnel under the direction of a physician. The AURA ventilator is suitable for use in hospital, sub-acute, emergency room, and home care environments, as well as for transport and emergency response applications.
Device Story
AURA ventilator provides mechanical ventilatory support (A/CMV, SIMV, SPONT, VTPC modes) for infant, pediatric, and adult patients. Device operates via AC/DC power or integrated battery; used in hospital, sub-acute, home, transport, and emergency settings by trained personnel. Front touch screen interface allows configuration in Hospital, Transport, or Basic domains; displays real-time ventilation data, waveforms, and trends. Includes QuickStart setup and weaning evaluation messaging. Optional SpO2 monitoring available. Clinicians use output to manage patient respiratory status; benefits include continuous ventilatory support across diverse clinical environments.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Verification and validation activities confirmed performance, safety, and electrical requirements. Testing included volume control, pressure support/control, trigger function, PEEP/bias flow, flow patterns, air/oxygen entrainment, waveforms, power performance, alarms, battery/O2 monitoring, and usability testing on less trained users.
Indicated for infant, pediatric, and adult patients >= 5 kg (11 lbs.) requiring continuous or intermittent positive pressure mechanical ventilatory support via invasive or non-invasive interfaces.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A continuous ventilator (respirator) is a device intended to mechanically control or assist patient breathing by delivering a predetermined percentage of oxygen in the breathing gas. Adult, pediatric, and neonatal ventilators are included in this generic type of device.

### Device Name
| Proprietary: | AURA |
|-----------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Common: | Ventilator, Continuous, Facility Use;<br>Ventilator, Continuous, Home Use |
| Classification: | II |
Product Code: CBK; NOU CFR Section: 868.5895
#### III. Predicate Devices
The AURA is substantially equivalent to the following legally marketed predicate devices:
- NEWPORT HT70® Ventilator cleared under K090888, K111146 ●
- NEWPORT e360 cleared under K053502, K101803 .
#### IV. Device Description
The AURA Ventilator provides ventilatory support for infant, pediatric and adult patients. The AURA ventilator is a prescription device that can be used in hospital, sub-acute, emergency response, transport and homecare environments under the direction of a physician.
The AURA ventilator may be operated from AC or DC external power sources or from the integrated battery system. Any time the ventilator is connected to external power, the integrated battery system is charged, including while the ventilator is in use. The AURA ventilator has A/CMV, SIMV, SPONT and VTPC ventilatory modes (Pressure or Volume).
ll.
{1}------------------------------------------------
The controls of the AURA ventilator are easily found on the front touch screen and panel. The touch screen can be set up in Hospital, Transport or Basic functional Domains to provide the user with full or limited access. The AURA has a Trends screen for displaying data graphically. User Help screens present information for all controls and features. The AURA family of ventilators has models that can be differentiated based on whether or not the device has SpO2 monitoring capability.
#### V. Intended Use
The AURA family of ventilators is intended to provide continuous or intermittent positive pressure mechanical ventilatory support through invasive or non-invasive interfaces to individuals that require such medical care. Specifically, the AURA family of ventilators is applicable for infant, pediatric and adult patients greater than or equal to 5 kg (11 lbs.).
The AURA ventilator is a restricted medical device intended for use by qualified, trained, personnel under the direction of a physician. The AURA ventilator is suitable for use in hospital, sub-acute, emergency room, and home care environments, as well as for transport and emergency response applications.
#### VI. Reason for the Submission
The purpose of this traditional 510(k) is to request authorization to market the AURA ventilator. The AURA ventilator includes the following features:
- . A QuickStart feature for users to set-up the ventilator
- Message for the evaluation of possible weaning .
The AURA ventilator has been determined to be substantially equivalent to other legally marketed predicate ventilators. The design and technology of used for the AURA ventilator are common to the HT70 ventilator.
#### VII. Nonclinical Data
The AURA ventilator has undergone extensive verification, validation and design performance safety testing, all of which confirms that the device meets its design, performance, and electrical safety requirements. The following testing was completed to verify the performance of the AURA ventilator:
| Volume Control |
|------------------------------------|
| Pressure Support |
| Pressure Control |
| Trigger Function |
| PEEP/Bias Flow |
| Flow Patterns |
| Air/Oxygen Entrainment/Monitoring |
| Screens |
| Waveforms |
| Power Performance |
| Intake Valve/Exhalation Resistance |
