## Indications for Use

To provide compressed air for a hand held medication small volume nebulizer. Not for continuous use. Use must be limited to maximum 30 minute intervals.

## Device Story

The MiniMate compressor is a portable device designed to provide an oil-free air supply to a hand-held small volume nebulizer. It consists of a 1/30 hp electrical motor, a self-lubricating piston-type compressor, and a protective housing that reduces noise and dampens vibration. The device is intended for intermittent use, with operation limited to 30-minute intervals. It is not a life-supporting device. The compressor provides the necessary airflow to aerosolize medication for patient inhalation. It is intended for use in clinical or home settings to assist in respiratory therapy.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. The device successfully passed mechanical, climatic, and electrical performance testing.

## Technological Characteristics

Piston-type compressor; 1/30 hp electric motor; self-lubricating (oil-free air supply); protective housing for noise reduction and vibration dampening; portable form factor.

## Regulatory Identification

A portable air compressor is a device intended to provide compressed air for medical purposes, e.g., to drive ventilators and other respiratory devices.

## Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 868.9.
